Maxi was rescued along with 3 of her siblings when they were 9/10 week old kittens. Unfortunately their Mom is very feral, so it's taking Maxi and Kalea (not in this video) some time to adapt to being pet etc. Maxi is much more outgoing and has come a long way.
Please like/ share Maxi's post in hopes of a loving, patient human.

We could use more of these shelters, if anyone wants to donate one, here's the link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B9HNTFRC?ref_=cm_sw_r_apan_dp_3C9RD1APZKMWVVD9NYX1&peakEvent=5&dealEvent=1&language=en-US&fbclid=IwAR3IVxurSRoUF9HkMcOYqZk_RObLtR_SeC4n1tKsEDkf2TwQcZ546Rd3yjI

Waterbury, CT. The person who was supposed to assemble this shelter for the eviction cats was no call, no show...Anyone here who can assemble this shelter? I was told it's pretty simple and shouldn't take longer than 20 minutes, we'll pay you for gas/mileage.

This is a true sanctuary for feral cats backed by research and designed for the real essential survival needs of the feral cat The dark appearance is more hidden and gives the wild cat a sense of security.

It's 22 degrees in Connecticut and many cats/ dogs are outside shivering.. We have friendly çats left behind during eviction that are roaming the streets trying to find a warm place to spend the night. Not one rescue or shelter has offered to take in anyone. Yet, some people think there's a shortage of dogs and cats "up north". We have people messaging this page asking if we have cats that are not spayed so that they can "mate" them.
Every single shelter is bursting at the seams!! Wtf do you mean you want a cat for breeding. 🤬🤬🤬

Waterbury (city) AC has no open kennels left. Same in Naugatuck (small town)! And neither of them take in cats..
NYC ACC is killing happy, healthy pets left and right and so are many "shelters" in NJ. Please 🙏 educate friends and family, raise awareness....Animal Control is not a pet hotel, and your furkids cannot survive outside without food, water and adequate shelter. If you can't keep your cat or dog, it's YOUR responsibility to find them proper placement. Reach out to family, friends, coworkers and/or local rescues. Send pics or video and explain your predicament. Don't wait until the day before eviction, do it as soon as you realize you can no longer keep your four legged companion.
Keep in mind that dumping them outside is illegal in most states!

Batteries not included ...

It is Christmas day today,
And all are full of cheer,
But I lay freezing on the step,
I always sleep right here.

I never get to go inside,
And join in all the fun,
I'm what they call a yard dog,
When all is said and done.

They have given me some scraps,
I think it was last week,
Now laying in the snow today,
I am feeling tired and weak.

I can hear the children playing,
As my head lay on my paws,
This time just last year,
I was a gift from Santa Claus.

I don't know what I did wrong,
To be shut out in the yard,
I only lived inside 6 months,
Since then my life's been hard.

The snow is falling heavy now,
I'm just a block of ice,
And when I breathe the cold cold air,
My lungs feel like a vice.

A miracle then came to pass,
An Angel did appear,
She glowed,and I could feel the heat,
As she floated near.

She reached her hand and beckoned,
It was such a sight to see,
She smiled and said "Good Dog,
It is time to come with me.

I will take you to the bridge,
Where all the Good Dogs go
You can play there in the sunshine,
There will be no freezing snow."

My bag of bones stood up then,
I shook the snow from off my fur,
And,as I slowly followed,
This is what I said to her.

"I am not a Good Dog though,
In that I think you're wrong,
No one would shut a Good Dog,
In the garden for so long."

The Angel turned and smiled,
As I walked with head hung low,
Then she said"I'm sorry,
I thought that you would know.

You really are a Good Dog,
The reason why your time is up,
It is just unfortunate,
You were born a Christmas pup."

I now live at the Rainbow Bridge,
And I am filled with joy,
But remember this at Christmas time,
A dog is NOT a toy.

To clarify this message,
To which I have eluded,
Animals are living things,
Batteries are not included ❤️

Update: All set. Thank you for caring and sharing. 🙏

Waterbury..Is anyone available to feed twice a week near River & Washington Street? Food would be provided. Two different colonies, down the street from each other.
If so, please pm us.
*****Please be mindful of the fact that these cats get fed only once a day and rely solely on whoever is feeding them. They wait patiently every single morning, if their feeder doesn't show up, they have no food. Locals do not feed them but they do notify us if/when they see the cats hanging around waiting to be fed. Lady across the street has a ring doorbell camera. The second location is monitored by deli owners' CCTV.

Sweet senior EARL is very handsome and gentle boy, who is estimated to be around 6 years. Poor Earl was dumped in BARC's parking lot late on Monday afternoon 12/18 and just 24 hours later the shelter confirmed he would be on the euthanize list for Thursday 12/21. The shelter has not documented any interactions or care for him since yesterday when they processed his intake after which they immediately put him on the list to be killed on Thursday. He was understandably TERRIFIED when dumped in a parking lot and having strangers coming after him. They shot him with a tranquilizer and he has been TERRIFIED since. There has been zero actual aggression noted on this sweet boy's part aside from fearful warnings such as low growling and snarling - which is completely natural given the terrifying situation he was dumped into.

EARL is a handsome gentle soul who appears to be being written off and forgotten about because he's a senior and is noted as being on the euthanize list due to being HW+ (like most dogs brought into BARC) and an ear infection (easily treatable) , fleas (treatable) as well as his "behavior" which is normal given he is being manhandled, locked up and placed on the list to be killed within 24 hours of intake. Earl is a smart boy and knows he is in a bad situation and he has a REASON TO BE SCARED.

Earl is a sweet BEAUTIFUL boy that is still very much full of life, and deserves to not be overlooked and given up on because of his "estimated age". He may very well be much younger and was clearly neglected by the despicable person that dumped him in a parking lot like trash. Earl definitely does not deserve to die alone and forgotten at BARC. We are confident if rescued,Earl will bring years of unconditional love and devotion to his forever family. Earl is a truly strikingly handsome boy who deserves his own chance at having a forever family or a foster home for Christmas that will return his unconditional love and devotion.

Please consider opening your heart to this gorgeous boy, so sweet Earl does not become another BARC statistic. Please share this post so the right rescue sees Earl, and please pledge using the link in this post, if you are able, to help support the rescues so they can continue to save more dogs like Earl.

📝 𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬:

Trevor is 4.5 years old and looking for a cat free home. If you foster him, food would be provided.

They should place this sign by the trail at Naugatuck dog park. People go for a walk instead of the dog park area for a reason.

Adopted and returned 3 times, and she's as sweet as they come! NJ

UPDATE 12/23: SUGARBEAR WENT HOME!!

We're sad to see our girl Sugarbear back here again after being adopted for over a year now but Sugarbear's lookig for a new home again. She's about 13 years old now and she originally came to us in 2021 when her owner passed away. She couldn't be sweeter if she were made of sugar, which is likely how she got her name. She was adopted and returned three times now! ( #1- didn't get along with the other cat. #2- adopter became allergic. #3- we're not very clear on that one). Sugarbear is missing some hair now as if she's been stressed lately, so being here sure won't help that. She may be older but she's as sweet and laid-back & lazy as ever. Sugarbear is dreaming and hoping for a forever-home to finally come her way! Yes, she needs a pet-free home and probably one with no young kids at this point, but she will not ask for much else. She just wants to relax and get some attention, and chill out for the rest of her life. If you can offer her that, whether by fostering or adopting her, please come meet her! Call 609-693-1900 or email: [email protected] for an application. File #49790 11/29/23

Labeling a stray cat feral limits their options dramatically. Shelters and most rescues do not take in ferals. Their only decent option is a sanctuary for ferals.
Yes, there are barn cats but in many barns cats hardly get fed because people think that cats won't hunt mice unless they're hungry. Same goes for cats in stores/bodegas.

Feral or tame, they deserve to live. 😺

**UPDATE: behind the scenes, the owner has been working with some family members to figure out a solution for his dog. WE ARE HAPPY to day he believes he’s found a way to keep Cane in the family: 1) he located a trainer who’s donating time to work with Cane on the leash to get the pulling under control and limit the risk.
2) he’s removed the cat from the home, the cat now lives with a family member.
3) with full family involvement and kitty moved out, the owner feels Cane can have a fresh start and is committed to making Cane safe, comfortable and happy.
The owner thanked BARC for our help and plans to continue to remain in contact with us. We are going to assist the owner with neutering Cane ASAP which will also help in tremendous way for the owner situation.

Take away: don’t get a dog unless you 💯 committed and if you commit to a dog, FIGURE IT OUT, MAKE IT WORK, no matter what. We want to commend the owner and his family understanding the consequences of adoption and moving mountains for Cane to make it right!

Rare for sure. ⭐️👏🏻

Thank you everyone who offered help and kind words of support.

The shelter denied him because they are full. There is no place for him to go but he can’t stay there. The only option for the owner is to euthanize, unfortunately.

Yes, this is reality.

This happens every single day here in our state with our unwanted dog crisis as rescues continue to ship of trucks and truck of dogs from out of state.

There is no fee to adopt. This is a courtesy post. We will pass your information on to the owner.

Two week decompression will be mandatory as it’s the only way for this dog to recover and heal and properly adjust to a normal life.

He’s excellent with all humans, was excellent with kids he’s been exposed to. He will likely be fine with dogs eventually with proper decompression and slow introductions. Probably best to not put him around cats due to unknown behavior. It would be best due to the URGENT timeline if you have no pets in the home right now—so we can get him safe and secure immediately.

Cane is located in Connecticut and a volunteer has offered to transport Cane to the right home within a reasonable distance. If you have questions with interest, please email [email protected]
