About Mocha’s Fund

Rachel and Glenn Rippie, proud cat parents to Mocha and Latte, became Tree House enthusiasts in 2012 when they attended their first Black Cat Ball. Sadly, the Rippies lost Mocha to cancer after he brought joy, love, and fun to their household for 16 years.

“From the moment I picked him up as a kitten and he stuck his nose in my neck and started purring, till the last time Glenn and I got to hold him, he never stopped loving us,” Rachel shares.

Mocha & Glenn. Best friends forever.

Full of personality, Mocha had a way of making his presence known. From unlocking doors to playing fetch, to loyally guarding his family, Mocha was a cat who “made things happen.” 

To keep his memory alive, the Rippies established a fund in Mocha’s name. 

“Give. Give. Give.”

The Rippies encourage anyone considering making a gift!
