“Bringing people together for a good cause is what the holidays are all about,” said Cherie Scheurich, Laddie’s Legacy executive director. “It’s a joyful way to celebrate the season by giving back and providing a lifeline for pets and their families.”

Since its founding in 2021, Laddie’s Legacy has provided financial assistance to help families afford veterinary care, ensuring that no pet is left behind due to financial hardship. The nonprofit was created in memory of Laddie, a beloved Maine Coon cat who was surrendered when his owner could no longer pay for his treatment. Today, the organization continues his legacy of compassion through fundraising events like Sundaes with Santa and Friends. For more information, visit www.laddieslegacy.org.
