SafePlace & Turning Pointe Partnership
CFA knows that the bond between people and their pets can be critical to their emotional and mental health, as well as their sense of safety. This can be especially true for survivors of domestic violence, who can oftentimes have their pets used against them, or feel as though they don't have the tools to successfully leave the situation with their pet. Working with SafePlace Olympia and Turning Pointe Shelton, CFA provides two programs to create a safety net for survivors.
Go-Kits
Working with our community partner Mud Bay, CFA has created a Go-Kit program to help survivors of domestic violence immediately leave hostile environments with their pets. Survivors contact SafePlace or Turning Pointe and are referred to the CFA office to get all of their pet's basic necessities. This includes food, treats, collars, leashes, bedding, toys, litter, carriers, etc.
Transitional Housing Program
Survivors of domestic violence who are clients of SafePlace or Turning Pointe are eligible to have their pets medical bills paid for through this program. It covers all medical expenses to enable the pet to stay safe and healthy and with the survivor. All services must be rendered by one of our CFA Partner Veterinarians.
