Mission & Focus Areas
AMC’s mission is to provide compassionate and collaborative care to animals and lead the advancement of veterinary medicine through innovative clinical research and education. Its programs include specialty and emergency care, clinical research, postgraduate veterinary education, animal-health education, and financial assistance.
AMC reports that its Community Funds provide free or subsidized care for pets whose owners cannot afford care, as well as for rescue animals, guide dogs, and retired police and military dogs. Its AMC to the Rescue Fund subsidizes advanced specialty care for rescue animals whose health is an obstacle to adoption.
The 2024 grants show support for animal-care organizations. For example, Little Wanderers NYC describes its mission as connecting rescues with foster families and covering veterinary care expenses. Meow Parlour Cats says it cares for and finds homes for homeless cats, while Brooklyn Animal Action describes its work as rescuing, spaying or neutering, and rehoming animals in Brooklyn. These are the grantees’ descriptions of their own missions.
