We have the PDSA pet aid hospital here in UK. If your on a low income, out of work & receive certain benefits (financial help) then you can get 'free' pet care. They just ask for a minimum contribution or as much as you can afford towards the cost of your pets treatment.
As far as im aware, it is basically 'vets in training'. It lets them get experience before being fully qualified. They get their funds solely from contributions and what money people leave to them in their will's, fundraising etc.
Its pretty good and is ALWAYS busy. They do a lot of hardwork!
