In 2024, JMDC provided essential care to our beloved animal residents. From respiratory treatments for our California Desert Tortoises to end-of-life comfort for Sir Hiss-a-lot, abscess removal for two of our Iguanas, and wellness checks for our newly donated critters, we’ve been there for them every step of the way.

As we look to 2025, we anticipate growing medical needs, especially as some of our critters enter their senior years. With your help, we can ensure they receive the care they deserve.

Your donation helps us prepare for routine wellness, unexpected emergencies, and the comfort of aging animals. Every contribution makes a difference in their lives.

Please join us in supporting the health and happiness of our critters.
