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.

Healing our Little Manx

Lovable little Sweet Pea is one of the incontinent Manx cats that have a permanent home at our sanctuary. Born with a genetic defect, these cats have no control over their bowel or bladder and require special lifetime care.

Sweet Pea recently developed a bad urinary tract infection and bladder stones. In order to dissolve the stones, we have had to keep her on a special veterinary diet for 3 months. She has also needed a few rounds of antibiotics to battle the infection.

Thanks to the Helfer Wellness Fund, our little girl will soon be frolicking around the shelter as good as new.
