I'm proudly competing for Team Cat in AARF's first-ever PAWGUST fundraising challenge because I spent 18 years as AARF director and I’ve done animal rescue all of my life. I love that animals give you such unconditional love, and it gives me a great sense of satisfaction to help them. Every cat deserves the chance to live a safe, healthy, and loved life.

From tiny kittens to senior cats, AARF gives homeless felines a second chance by providing medical care, nutritious food, foster homes, and the love they need until they find their forever families. Every rescue has a story, and every donation helps write a happier ending.

My goal is to help Team Cat claw its way to victory while raising funds that will make a real difference for cats waiting for their families. Whether you give $10, $50, or $100, your generosity helps provide lifesaving veterinary care, vaccinations, food, litter, and other essentials for cats in need.

Even better, every dollar donated during PAWGUST will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $20,000, doubling your impact and helping twice as many animals.

If you're a fellow cat lover—or just believe every animal deserves a second chance—I hope you'll support my fundraiser. Together, we can help Team Cat come out on top while giving more cats the care, comfort, and fresh start they deserve.

Let's claw our way to victory...one rescued cat at a time!
