Feline Health Non-Profit EveryCat Health Foundation Launches Campaign for Heart Disease Research
A non-profit dedicated to advancing feline health
EveryCat Health Foundation (http://www.everycat.org [http://www.everycat.org/]), a non-profit dedicated to advancing feline health by supporting a variety of research and education initiatives, has launched a fundraiser to benefit cats suffering from feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM)-the most common form of heart disease in cats. The 2025 "Springing Into Action for The Ricky Fund Trademark " campaign takes place until April 30.
A highlight of EveryCat's commitment to feline heart health is its premier "Springing Into Action" activity: the "Health Breakthroughs for EveryCat: Focusing on Future Therapies for Feline Heart Disease and Beyond" symposium [https://everycat.org/2025-everycat-nc-state-feline-health-symposium/] on April 26-27.
"We are proud to continue supporting HCM research, and educating pet owners about the illness," said EveryCat's Executive Director, Jackie Ott Jaakola. "Since its inception, EveryCat has raised over $332,000 for The Ricky Fund Trademark , and has provided grants for 38 HCM-related studies. Our generous donors are contributing to vital research that will help the heart health of cats around the world."
EveryCat is hosting this premier conference in partnership with the North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine. During the event, pet parents and veterinarians alike will come together to discuss the impact of this disease and new, exciting treatment options that are becoming available.
Pet parents (and any feline fan) are invited to attend online for free to learn about the disease. Register here [https://ncsucvmce.eventsair.com/2025-fhs/register/Site/Register] today.
All proceeds from the "Springing Into Action" campaign will benefit The Ricky Fund Trademark , which was created by nationally-syndicated pet columnist and EveryCat Board member Steve Dale, CABC, in honor of his beloved, piano-playing cat Ricky. Ricky died from HCM at four, after his veterinarian discovered the cat had a heart murmur. HCM occurs when the walls of the heart become abnormally thick, and it affects one in seven cats.
EveryCat will also raise money for The Ricky Fund Trademark during the "Heart-to-Heart" Luncheon [https://interland3.donorperfect.net/weblink/weblink.aspx?name=E362215&id=32] on May 24th from 12:30 to 3:30 at Caffe Aldo Lamberti in Cherry Hill, NJ. This event is being organized by a donor honoring her own cat that succumbed to HCM many years ago. The Luncheon will include Steve Dale, CABC, as keynote speaker, and is open to the public. Ticket purchase or donations can be made through the above Heart-to-Heart Luncheon link.
