This link will take you to the most adorable cats, who are in need of a loving home together. Their vision is seriously impaired, but that doesn't slow them down one bit.

They are currently in foster care and are doing great. When we had them at the shelter they would run to and climb up on any volunteer who entered their room and would run happily around the shelter and out onto our catio whenever they were let out.

Check out their story at this link and let us know if you would be interested in learning more or meeting them (you can reach us via Petfinder). We can guarantee a world of entertainment and affection to anyone who opens their home to these unique brothers.

Steven, a handsome black and white cat, and his sister Alexis, were kittens fostered under BCC's umbrella. They came into the shelter when, as young adults, they hadn't been adopted. They are about 4 years old and would love to find a forever home together.

As you can see, Steven's already made himself a nice nest in a carrier, while Alexis enjoys some "me time" on the cat furniture.

Though shy, both are curious and enjoy overseeing the volunteers who come to visit each day. We'll be open to the public this Saturday, August 10, from 11 to 2. Stop by and say hi, and maybe fill out an adoption application in advance at www.branfordcompassionclub.org/learn/adoption.

Happy International Cat Day! Cats are amazing companions (we are totally not biased or anything). They heal, they give purpose, they love and understand. Share your soul cats below! Pictured is Otter, a little boy who no doubt will grow into a soul cat.

Our newest family member, Vera. Was outside in a carrier and thus earned her designer handbag name. She has a puncture wound on her lower back and the person who found her said she had a door shut on her back. And yes, we fixed the dangly string on the collar! You’re safe now, girlfriend. Please give Vera a warm welcome to BCC.

Go Blackberry! She is feeling so much better and is gaining weight. Take THAT, nasty upper respiratory infection! We appreciate your donations for her emergency visit which saved her life. You help us help them! And you can help them too! Miss Jody is one of our beloved bottle feeders. Yes, you need to wake up a couple of times in the night to feed and toilet them. Is it worth it? Oh YES! Always open to folks who are up for the challenge.

Nancy came to BCC as a mom cat in 2018. In the several years since her four kittens were adopted she's been hanging out with her buds in the Community Room. Her particular favorite is the aptly named Ginger, and they can often be found cuddling in a bed or sharing a hammock. Give them a hello when you stop by on the second Saturday of any month (2037 Foxon Rd., North Branford 11 - 2).

A special double kitten feature 🤱🏻

Meet Naya (left, about 14 wks old) and her mother Talia (about 8 months old 🙁)

These two made their way to us in a carrier, it appeared by the conditions that they may have actually lived in that carrier for a few weeks - so as you can imagine after that, they’re quite “close”

Although we think they would do well if adopted separately - we would love to see them go together! They currently live in a foster with children, other cats, and a calm dog and do well (Talia says no high energy dogs please!)

🖤 Blackberry update! 🖤
We are thrilled to report that Blackberry has left the hospital and is headed to a foster home where she will continue to get around the clock care and, we hope, will continue to gain strength. She wouldn’t be alive today without the amazing team at Central Hospital Guilford. Thanks to those of you who are able to help us out with the medical costs for this special care which totaled $1786, and to all of you sending good wishes and prayers. 🖤

Meet Jasmine. Jasmine is another “last of her litter” kitten, seeking a family with another cat friend. Jasmine is about 14 weeks old and ready for her new home ASAP.

Her foster mom reports that she’s a total love bug, gives kisses and likes to sit on your lap. If you’re in the market for a cuddly kitten then Jasmine is your girl!

🍭 KITTEN FEATURE 🍭

Introducing Cotton Candy. This girl is about 14 weeks old, she is shy which resulted in all of her siblings being chosen over her. Cotton Candy is now alone in foster, we would really love for her to go home with another confident kitten to help break her out of her shell. 🐚

Do you have a playful cat and a bit of patience to help this baby blossom? Apply today!

🖤Blackberry needs all of the help and good wishes she can get. She is the runt of a litter of seven and struggling to fight a respiratory infection. She spent the night in the hospital and the doctors are feeling like things could go either way, but that she needs at least another day of supportive care in the hospital. Please send good wishes and prayers and if you can make a contribution towards her care, we would be so grateful. (Her care estimate is $1,200- $2,000)Please share! Thank you! 🖤

07/24/2024

BCC alum Thomas is asking for your help. We are completely out of cat scratchers at our shelter. 🙀We like each of our residents to have access to a scratcher and they go through them quickly. Thanks to anyone who can send us a few off of our wish list! Big love from BCC! 🖤🖤

Kitten feature 📣

Introducing Paul! Paul was born in foster care and is now about 15 weeks old, all of his siblings have been adopted leaving him pretty lonely. He would love to go home with a playful young cat 🎉

Another benefit of adopting Paul would be to free up his foster so we can rescue more kittens 😏. Apply today to meet him!

07/22/2024

We have many kittens right now seeking homes, today we wanted to feature Eloise 🤩

On the right is a photo of how Eloise was found, stuck in a car trying to find safety from the outside world. As you can imagine that’s pretty traumatic for a kitten so it took a little time for Eloise to become trusting, after a few weeks in her foster home she’s now thriving - although may be stand offish at a first meet. Eloise is about 16 weeks old and ready for a new home ASAP ❣️

Kitten alert🚨

Sisters Wilma and Betty are seeking a home together, they have been with us since they were about 4 weeks old and they haven’t had a single application or visitor.

They are now in their second foster home and we’re really hoping the next move for them will be permanent.

Someone apply to meet these sweet girls, you won’t be disappointed 🥹
