Memorial Fundraiser:
One of ORA's principal and most beloved Foster Moms, Bev Smith, passed away suddenly in her home before she could make arrangements for the cats in her care. In honour of Bev, we will be setting up a special memorial fund to help care for Bev's unadoptable feline family now at ORA. See the Donations page for more details, and contact ORA or Claudia Vecchio if you can help.
