Community Involvement

First Free Exam

Catoctin Veterinary Clinic has partnered with the Loudoun County Animal Shelter to offer free first examinations for any dog or cat adopted from LCAS. We are happy to support our local shelter and hope any new adopters take advantage of the free health checkup we offer. 

Angel Fund

Catoctin Veterinary Clinic has launched the Angel Fund in 2025—a new initiative created to help clients with limited or restricted financial means afford medical treatment for their pets. In cases of emergency or unexpected illness, families sometimes face the heartbreaking choice of euthanasia simply because treatment is out of reach. The Angel Fund is here to change that.

We saw the opportunity—and the need—to support our clients during these unforeseen and difficult moments. This fund allows us to offer critical care to pets whose families are struggling financially, giving them a fighting chance at recovery and a longer life with the people who love them.

Many of you may remember our previous program, Pets in Need, which began in January 2018 and helped over 100 pets receive necessary care. The Angel Fund builds on that legacy with the hope of reaching even more animals in need.

How You Can Help

If you’d like to support the Angel Fund, donations can be made by calling our front desk at 703-777-8447 or during your next visit to the clinic.

Every donation—no matter the size—makes a real difference. From all of us at Catoctin Vet, thank you for your generosity and for being part of a community that believes every pet deserves care, comfort, and a chance.

Loudoun Pet Pantry

Catoctin Veterinary Clinic has partnered with the Loudoun Pet Pantry to help keep pets in loving homes by providing food supplies to families in need. Many families face unexpected financial situations causing them to choose between feeding their children or their pets. Many pets are then surrendered to the shelter. 

Catoctin Veterinary Clinic collects weekly donations for the Loudoun Pet Pantry. Individuals who want to help the Loudoun Pet Pantry can drop off cat and dog food donations at the Clinic. All brands of unopened, unexpired, nonprescription cat and dog food are accepted. 

Fetch a Cure

Catoctin Veterinary Clinic is a sponsor and advocate for the organization FETCH a Cure. FETCH a Cure is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization focused on improving the quality of life for our pets. Working with pet owners and the veterinary community, FETCH is furthering pet cancer awareness, education, and treatment.

Their vision is simple: A community where no one is denied a choice for their pet’s health due to lack of options, education, or funding. 

Catoctin Veterinary Clinic participates every year in the 5k Trail Run/Walk in Northern Virginia. The proceeds from this event benefit the Hannah Hershey Fund which provides financial assistance to pets and their owners in the Northern Virginia area facing a scary cancer diagnosis.

Ribbon Run

Catoctin Veterinary Clinic is a sponsor and participant of the Ribbon Run. This race benefits the Step Sisters’ mission to improve the quality of life for those impacted by breast cancer through funding needed support services in Loudoun County and the surrounding community. 

After repeatedly seeing the impact breast cancer had on patients and their families, they decided to dedicate their mission to assisting patients throughout treatment. They believe that no patient should feel that she is fighting breast cancer alone.

Catoctin Veterinary Clinic participates every year in the Brambleton Ribbon Run 5k Run/Walk. All proceeds from this event go to local breast cancer patients in need of Step Sisters’ services

Santa Photos for a Cause

Catoctin Veterinary Clinic had their first annual photos with Santa in 2019! Pet parents came with their four-legged best friends for treats and smiled with Santa Paws! Every owner donated $20 for their personal photo session with Santa. All funds collected for Santa Paws photos are donated to the Loudoun Pet Pantry. 

For those who do not know, The Loudoun Pet Pantry is a partner of the Humane Society of Loudoun County, Loudoun County Animal Services and Loudoun Hunger Relief. Its mission is to help keep pets in loving homes by providing food supplies for families in need. If you would like to donate, a collection bin is in the lobby of the clinic. The pet pantry accepts unopened and unexpired food year round.
