Fundraiser started in honor of NJ woman who died saving an animal
The animal rescue where Kaitlyn O’Hara volunteered has started a fundraiser in her memory. Kaitlyn is the 27-year-old Medford woman who lost her life trying to help a wounded animal on Route 70 in Cherry Hill. She was a volunteer who rescued and fostered animals for Randall’s Rescue of Mount Laurel and the no-kill shelter has started a fund raising campaign in her name: the Kaitlyn O’Hara Fund - Helping Sick or Feral Cats.
This was posted on the rescue’s Facebook page:
Please donate what you can for a fellow animal lover, who risked her life to help an animal in need . Who always loved the ones no one else wanted . We are all devastated but I know she would want us to continue saving more “mittens” as it’s what she’s dedicated her life to.
CHERRY HILL A woman who made a career out of her love for animals died trying to help one of them, according to the rescue organization she worked for.
Township police and county prosecutors say Kaitlyn O Hara, 27, of Medford, was trying to move an injured animal on Route 70 when she was struck by a car.
The 24-year-old driver from Voorhees stayed at the scene and has not been charged with a crime.
O Hara had been trying for two days after a snowstorm to catch a feral cat she thought was bleeding, according to a post on the Randalls Rescue Facebook page.
