What Everypet does

EveryPet (formerly First Coast No More Homeless Pets, founded 2002) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit safety-net veterinary organization headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, operating two hospital locations - the Norwood clinic at 6817 Norwood Avenue and the 10,000+ square foot Cassat Regional Veterinary Hospital at 464 Cassat Avenue, which together can serve more than 300 pets per day. Its mission is to keep dogs and cats in homes and out of shelters by delivering affordable spay/neuter, general and emergency veterinary care, and pet retention programs across an 18-county Northeast Florida service area, reaching 90,000+ pets annually with 20,000+ spay/neuter surgeries performed each year.

The core product offering is full-service, low-cost veterinary care delivered through two physical clinics, supported by a Covetrus-powered online pharmacy, a GreatPetCare patient portal, and a telemedicine channel. Adjacent programs include the Angel Fund (subsidized emergency care), Pet Food Bank (cumulatively over 1.8 million pounds of pet food distributed), Rosie's Fund, Operation Big Fix, and Spay Jax (community cat and feral TNR), a Veterinary Technician Education & Employment Program (VTEEP) that reports a 75% graduation rate, and a Student Veterinary Training Program launched in October 2024 that has logged 1,000 student-performed surgeries within a year. Technology is intentionally lightweight: no proprietary platform is described, and key integrations are third-party (Covetrus, GreatPetCare, Vet Lobby by Check In Systems Inc., Better Impact for volunteer management, Paylocity for recruiting, and PetcoLoveLost for facial-recognition-based pet recovery).

The business model is a hybrid of charitable revenue and fee-for-service. Donations and grants from individuals, corporate sponsors, and foundations (Banfield Foundation, Petco Love, Grey Muzzle Organization, John R. Peterson Foundation, Joseph Strasser Trust) fund subsidized programs, while veterinary service fees collected at below-market rates at the two clinic locations and through the online pharmacy cover operating costs. Go-to-market is community-led: volunteer programs, monthly newsletters, social media, and events such as Whiskers and Wheels and Night Under the Stars drive awareness and donor cultivation, with services delivered in-clinic, online, and through nine Pet Food Bank drop-off sites. Leadership rests with CEO Jennifer Barker (appointed July 1, 2021), Chief Medical Officer Dr. Yvonne Kline, Chief Development Officer David Arias, and Director of Professional Development Dr. Brian DiGangi, with oversight from Board Chair Kelly Overby.
