Many people have a soft spot for animals in need but one local radio personality is showing just how serious the cause is to her. KLCY morning host Amy Richards has set a goal of raising $5,000 dollars for both local animal shelters and the Ashley Valley Community Cats organization and needs more donations to reach her goal by the deadline of
August 25th.
The donations go towards animals like Cash, a kitten who had a rough start at life, having been shot that required surgery to remove the bullet fragments from his sinuses and skull. “Please find it in your budget to help,” shares Amy. “Funds have gone down but the medical needs have gone up [locally].” To add some extra motivation for those unsure about donating, Amy has made a unique promise. If the $5,000 dollar goal is hit by
August 25th
, Amy will be joining the Naples Police Department during a K9 training in which the K9s will practice their take down on Amy while she is wearing one of the bite suits. The video will be posted to Facebook. Anyone willing to help local neglected, injured, and abused animals are asked to donate at
