Helfer Wellness Fund Thanks to the generosity of Tricia and Tara Helfer, this fund was founded to help the Richmond Animal Protection Society ensure that homeless cats can receive the medical care they need. When cats have no one to care for them, medical problems can build up. RAPS rescues many of the animals from the street, and thanks to the Helfers, these animals will receive the veterinary care they require. RAPS would like to honour the Helfers for their generous donations. 
The Helfer Wellness Fund Blog contains stories of cats helped by this fund. 
Helfer Wellness Fund BlogFriday, August 7, 2009Dental Work for Randy Randy, a once-stray cat who is blind in one eye, had been fed in the bush for several years by a senior who volunteered for RAPS. A few years ago, we trapped him and brought him to the sanctuary. When he was neutered, we learned that he was FIV positive. Cats with the Feline AIDS virus have impaired immune systems and are very susceptible to dental problems.A few weeks ago, Randy was taken to the vet and had 7 teeth extracted. The need for dental work on our sanctuary cats is one of our largest veterinary expenses. We are very grateful to have the Helfer Wellness Fund in place to help with those costs.
