Protecting Pets.
Pursuing Justice.

Nebula’s Foundation assists victims of veterinary negligence and malpractice in their pursuit of justice. We provide financial aid and resources to empower pet parents to seek accountability in veterinary practice and honor their beloved companions.

Built in memory of Nebula — May 07, 2019 to February 20, 2021.

Our core value

Companion animals are family members, not replaceable objects.

At Nebula’s Foundation, we believe companion pets deserve care, compassion, and meaningful accountability when preventable harm occurs.

“The law should reflect reality: pets are loved as family, grieved as family, and should be protected as family.”

Past award cycle impact

Support delivered through seasonal award cycles.

Nebula’s Foundation opens direct-assistance award cycles periodically as funding and program capacity allow. Our past award cycle provided meaningful support to pet parents seeking accountability, while protecting applicant privacy.

The story behind the mission

Nebula’s Story: love, loss, and advocacy.

Nebula was the beloved cat whose preventable death after a routine spay surgery led to this foundation. Her story is painful, but it is also the reason this work exists.

Seeking justice for your pet?

You do not have to navigate this alone.

If you believe your pet has been harmed by veterinary negligence or malpractice, collect records, document the timeline, and reach out for support.
