Montclair Pet & Wildlife Fund

Montclair Pet & Wildlife Fund is a dedicated organization committed to fostering harmonious relationships between humans and animals. Established as the philanthropic arm of Montclair Veterinary Hospital, we operate as a 501(c)3 non-profit focused on education, product donations, and referral services to support pet and wildlife communities. Our efforts since 2004 have resulted in over $500,000 in medical care and supplies for rescued wildlife, benefiting more than 40 community organizations. We rely entirely on personal and community contributions to address the needs of animals and caretakers facing financial and medical challenges. Our team combines decades of veterinary expertise with a passion for animal welfare, guided by founder Lee Richter, whose 30-year track record in community-driven business development ensures our programs deliver measurable impact.

Through partnerships with local schools, animal control agencies, and rescue centers, we provide critical medical services and rehabilitation for domestic and wild animals. Every donation directly funds initiatives that improve access to care, promote education, and strengthen community ties. Our transparent operations prioritize accountability, ensuring resources are allocated efficiently to maximize benefits for animals and their caretakers. By bridging veterinary care with community support, we strive to create a sustainable model for compassionate coexistence.
