Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming actor and animal advocate Joey Luthman to Faithful Friends Veterinary Clinic and Cat Specialty Center as part of his inspiring cross-country “Ride for Cats.”
Joey is traveling from California to Maine on a one-wheeled electric board to raise funds and awareness for EveryCat Health Foundation. Motivated by the loss of two of his own cats—one to cancer and one to chronic kidney disease—he launched this 45-day journey to support research that could lead to better outcomes for feline patients everywhere. So far, Joey has raised over $10,000 to fund studies focused on feline cancer and kidney disease.
We were honored that he chose to visit Faithful Friends during his ride. Joey spent time with members of our Cat Specialty Center team and bonded over a shared passion for advancing feline health and wellness. His visit felt especially meaningful given our own commitment to improving outcomes for cats facing serious conditions like CKD.
Help Support the Cause
If you would like to contribute to Joey’s fundraiser, you can donate directly to EveryCat Health Foundation.
You can also make a difference by helping us spread the word about our ongoing clinical trial for cats with chronic kidney disease (CKD). If you or someone you know has a cat with CKD, they may be eligible to participate in a new study exploring new treatment options. Contact our team to learn more about eligibility and whether your cat may benefit from emerging research.
At Faithful Friends, we believe in the power of advocacy, innovation, and education to help cats live longer, healthier lives. We’re proud to support causes that align with that mission and grateful to Joey for helping raise awareness in such a meaningful way.
