Dear friends,

We're so happy to say that we have many new supporters! If you're new to BCC, welcome! We wanted to share an important message with our followers, new and seasoned alike.

We’ve seen a big increase in adoption applications recently, and we’re so grateful for the love you’re showing our cats! Every adoption inquiry means a cat is one step closer to their forever home, and that means the world to us.

That said, we want to gently remind everyone that we are almost entirely volunteer-run. That means our small (but mighty!) team is juggling many hats - caring for cats, reviewing applications, answering messages, and much more. Many of our volunteers work full-time jobs in addition to their dedication to BCC.

Your continued patience and kindness go a long way. We understand that waiting can be frustrating, but negative comments or reviews can directly impact our ability to rescue and place cats in need. Please contact us directly, and privately, to share your feedback.

We’re doing our best - for them, and for you. Thank you for supporting our mission, trusting the process, and standing by our side. Together, we're making second chances possible!

Update on Andy - THANK you for your donations last night. With your support, we were able to get his emergency care completely covered. He has a bad upper respiratory infection (our biggest concern is it turning into pneumonia). He received an antibiotic injection, more take home antibiotics, and eye ointment. We're hopeful that he'll eat more once his sense of smell improves. He's resting comfortably with his wonderful foster momma who stayed up into the wee hours of the morning caring for him.

Thank you for helping us help Andy!

Urgent fundraiser - just rescued this kitten found near Yale. Battling some kind of upper respiratory infection which is high risk in kittens. We are en route to the emergency vet for next steps - if you’re able to, please consider helping us support this sweet soul and get her the care she needs 💔❤️‍🩹 Will post updates.

Marina update!

Marina had a wonderful visit this morning with her friend Dr. Phil Cohen at Central Hospital for Veterinary Medicine for a neurological exam.

We don't believe this is a neurological issue at this time, but it's hard to tell with small kittens. Some future options include more bloodwork to check for infections/viruses, or an MRI when she's old enough.

For now, Marina is happy, eating, playing, and sleeping like a champ. She just has weak back legs!

Marina is on the market for her forever home. If you're interested in a *potentially* special needs kitten (easy to enter litter box accommodations, for example), please complete an application on our website! We will also be looking at current applications (thanks for your patience, we are a SMALL volunteer team). We're rooting for you, girlie!

Hi friends! We've gotten some questions about supplies needed for Prime Day, so we created a special wishlist for items we need that are on sale right now. If you're able to, we'd greatly appreciate your help in feeding our cats and caring for our kittens!
