I have some very sad news. The animals have lost a wonderful friend. We are all so saddened to hear of the passing of Deloris Quick. What a loss to the world of a wonderful advocate for animals and a genuinely kind and compassionate human being. Deloris was the kind of person who never had an ill world about anyone, ever. She always helped anyone in need, and put her love of animals to practice everyday.

Deloris and Kiki

She was a devoted volunteer to Rikki’s Refuge for 20 years, serving on our Board of Directors for many of those. She lifted spirits of humans and animals alike, when she visited. The kind of wonderful friend you could always count on. She never met an animals she didn’t love.

Deloris and Bandit

Deloris shared her home with dogs and cats and the love of her life, Mike, who she was deeply devoted to. She helped Rikki’s Refuge and other organizations care for animals.

Deloris and Vincent

Deloris joined other volunteers of Rikki’s Refuge last summer in the successful effort to save our thrift store Re-Tail when reopening after the closure for covid.

Deloris and Gracie

She was very active in TNR and fed several feral colonies. She often helped homeless people and their pets.

Deloris and Cindy

Deloris saw no boundaries in helping anywhere she could and certainly leaves the world a better place for having been here. She leaves all of us better human beings for having known her and seeing true kindness and compassion in action.

I’m sure the Rainbow Bridge looked something like this

It was another wet and dreary day at Rikki’s Refuge

No BUTTS about it — I drug MY house to the BEST location!

NO! We win!! It took four of us to get out house over to this prime location !!

Loving this wonderful wet winter weather !

And the snow starts ….. again …

Stayin in – stayin dry – stayin warm

sending the hoomans out to take care of every one !!

5:30 pm, still snowing but not accumulating, hovering right around the freezing point.

What will the night bring ?

In the end, what truly matters is who’ll be waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge.

Thank YOU for making a difference to their lives.
