Debby’s Fund

The Debby Lorusso Memorial Fund

“My amazing and generous wife, Debby, passed away from cancer on her 63rd birthday: June 1, 2024. She loved all living things, especially her dogs and cats. In honor of her memory, I am starting a memorial fund in her name for The Feline Connection with a donation of $10,000. If you or someone you know has lost a loved one (human, feline, or other), I welcome you to honor them with a donation to Debby’s Fund. 100% of the money in this fund will go towards the compassionate and important work that TFC does to help cats and kittens in need. This fund honors Debby and your loved ones, and continues to make a positive difference in their memory. “

Thank you, Steve Lorusso (2026)
