At Abby Cat Daddy – The Feline Advocate Society, we believe that every companion animal deserves access to essential veterinary care, regardless of their family’s financial situation. Today, we’re thrilled to introduce a brand-new initiative that brings this vision one step closer to reality: The Fur Father Fund, made possible through the generosity and ongoing commitment of local realtor Jeffrey Wolfgang Klassen.
Jeffrey has stepped forward with a promise to support families who want to do the right thing for their animal companions but simply cannot afford the full $175 cost of a community spay/neuter. His contributions will directly subsidize procedures for low-income households, helping prevent accidental litters, reduce feline overpopulation, and keep more cats happy, healthy, and safe.
This is community compassion in action — and we’re incredibly grateful for it.
A Limited but Life-Changing Resource
While The Fur Father Fund has the potential to help many families, it is important for our community to understand that:
- Funds are limited and will be offered on an as-available basis.
- Applications are not guaranteed approval, even if applicants meet the general criteria.
- All requests must go through additional processing, including documentation to verify eligibility.
Because this fund is designed specifically for households facing financial challenges, we will require supporting documents that may include proof of income, government assistance, or extraordinary hardship. These steps ensure that funds are directed to those who need them most — and that the program remains sustainable for as long as possible.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as each application is reviewed by our team.
A Community Effort — You Can Help Too
The Fur Father Fund may have been sparked by the generosity of Jeffrey Wolfgang Klassen, but its future can be strengthened by the entire community.
If you believe in accessible veterinary care, want to reduce overpopulation, or simply want to help a neighbour in need, you can also donate to The Fur Father Fund online. Every contribution directly lowers the cost of spay/neuter procedures for families who are struggling financially.
Together, we can extend the reach of this program and help even more human-animal families care responsibly for their feline companions.
(Donation link will be added below.)
Why This Matters
Affordable spay/neuter access:
- Reduces unplanned litters and community overpopulation.
- Prevents serious medical conditions and unwanted behaviours.
- Lessens strain on rescues, shelters, and TNR programs.
- Creates a healthier, more compassionate community for both human-animals and non-human animals.
The Fur Father Fund allows us to bridge a gap our team sees every single day. For many households, the desire to be responsible is there — the financial means simply aren’t. Jeffrey’s generosity changes that.
A Heartfelt Thank You
To Jeffrey Wolfgang Klassen: thank you for stepping up in such a meaningful way. Your ongoing support is already making a real difference for families and felines across the Fraser Valley. You truly are a “Fur Father” to the cats who need it most.
And to our community: thank you for believing in our mission. Whether you adopt, foster, donate, volunteer, or simply share our work, you are helping us build a stronger safety net for the cats who rely on all of us.
