Our Story
BSCR is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and is not funded through any local, state or federal tax dollars. We receive no financial support from donations made to any regional or national animal welfare organization.
**BACK Street CAT Rescue (BSCR) is a non-profit no -kill, all volunteer organization that works hard everyday to rescue and care for homeless cats and kittens in the upper Ohio Valley of WV and Ohio. This is a labor of love which includes attending to the cats' medical needs, spaying/neutering, tests, vaccinations, first-aid care and importantly a really, really healthy dose of human affection, kindness and love. Back Street Cat Rescue is not a 'bricks & mortar' operation, nor is it a public or private shelter. BSCR places the cats and kittens they care for in their own homes and in the homes of caring foster families until forever homes can be found for them. As a registered 501(c) your donations to BSCR are tax deductible and deeply appreciated.
Back Street Cat Rescue is listed as a voice for life at NoKill Network.
Our rescue is always in need of fosters, sponsors, and volunteers.

We rely on the charity and compassion of other cat lovers to support our rescue and when funds run out, we scrape up what we can. This is not a business to us but a labor of love and mercy. Donations, not just money, but also Kroger Community Rewards and Amazon smile are always needed. We have a donation bin at Pet Supple Plus at the Ohio Valley Plaza in Saint Clairsville, OH and our website and page have donation buttons if you would like to help us, help them.
