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, 2010Treatment for Shadow's Megacolon Our largest and oldest black male developed a condition called megacolon, which causes severe constipation, vomiting and extreme discomfort. Left untreated, this condition would eventually prove fatal to the animal. Shadow was first diagnosed about 2 years ago when he was unable to eat and lost a considerable amount of weight. Following a series of enemas at the vet clinic, he was put on a special diet, plus daily laxatives and medication. Now 15 years of age, Shadow has done extremely well on his treatment regimen, but he recently had a relapse that necessitated 3 additional days of care at the veterinary clinic. Fully recovered, our big boy has resumed his favorite activity of assisting volunteers by sampling the food on every plate at feeding time. He's a big guy, and he's the boss!
