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.

Velcro Recovers from Ailment

Velcro, the 15-year-old stray that we took in last summer, developed a fever and wasn't able to eat. Veterinary x-rays showed a buildup of gas in his abdomen and bloodwork indicated that he was fighting off an infection. With sanctuary staff administering antibiotics and fluids, he has recovered nicely in a room that is dedicated to seniors.
