Jaime Raskulinecz, a long-time supporter of Tabby’s Place cat rescue/sanctuary, will launch a month-long fundraiser through her firm, Next Generation Trust Services in Roseland, which will kick off on Tuesday, May 31, on “Hug Your Cat Day.”

Ms. Raskulinecz wants to raise much-needed funds for Tabby’s Place, located in Ringoes, NJ, to help continue its unique work as a cage-free adoption center, hospital, and hospice for the state’s most vulnerable cats. She will donate one-half of her firm’s account set-up fees to the charity throughout June in honor of Adopt a Shelter Cat Month. In addition, she will personally match the donated amount from NGTS.
