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 BlogSunday, January 3, 2010Healing Molly's Fractured Hip Molly is a 16-year-old calico who receives fluids and medication daily for kidney disease, a common disorder of aging in cats. A couple of months ago, Molly lost her balance and fell from a height of about 8 feet, fracturing her hip. Such a fall probably wouldn't have been a problem for a younger cat, but Molly's bones may be more brittle due to her advanced age. In order to allow her hip to heal, she has been undergoing cage rest for a couple of months. She is confined to one of our smaller, single-level cages; however, we try to make this period of her life more pleasant by offering her plenty of attention and special treats. We hope that her next set of x-rays will show that sufficient healing has taken place, and that she can be set free. ArchivesJune 2009 July 2009 August 2009 January 2010 April 2010
