The first cat our organization helped with was named Ralph. We were contacted about this kitty living off of Lantana Road. He had lived in this neighborhood for years with various neighbors offering food and porches for napping. With no "owner", he had no one to take responsibility for much needed medical care. He was drooling heavily from his mouth and incredibly skinny and unkempt. We trapped him and got him to the vet the next day. He had multiple exposed root systems in his mouth and would need a full mouth extraction. His body condition was so poor he most likely would not have survived sedation, yet alone surgery. He was also FIV+. He was humanely euthanized at Best Friends Veterinary Hospital the morning of August 30th, 2024. ​To honor his memory, we have created Ralph’s Fund. Ralph’s Fund will be dedicated to offering additional medical support to community cats that go through our TNR program. It could be as simple as a tooth extraction or as heart breaking as humane euthanasia to end suffering. We will honor Ralph’s memory by offering additional support to the other forgotten community cats in Cumberland County. Donations can be made specifically to this fund through our Zeffy fundraiser or any other means of donation. Just be sure to include a note that you would like your donation to be allocated to Ralph’s Fund.
