The Kevin D. Clark Fund for Special Needs Animals was established when Kevin tragically passed away at the young age of 48 from complications of a rare autoimmune disease that struck suddenly.

A UNH graduate for both his undergraduate and graduate degrees in computer science, Kevin supported many organizations and had a great appreciation for nature and animals. He firmly believed that every animal deserved a forever home. A pet parent to a number of shelter cats, his little girls Delilah and Penelope would spend hours as his office assistants.

At his sudden passing, Kevin’s wife Sharon and sister-in-law Judy established the endowment fund bearing his name to help PMHS-CV provide for the needs of animals that require special help to become adoptable. Kevin lived his life by frequently helping the forgotten or overlooked. Donations made to the Kevin D. Clark Fund keep his legacy alive by providing that same attention to animals who are in need, much like Grayson.

Just last month, a long-stay diabetic cat named Grayson finally found his happy ending after nearly a year with the shelter. Grayson, who was just over 12 years old, needed insulin shots twice a day to manage his condition and live a healthy, happy life. A vial of insulin often costs around $160, so stabilizing and caring for Grayson required significant additional support.
