Bulgarian Stray Cats Rescue & Rehabilitation Centre

We're a small team of volunteers united by a big and bold dream: easing the stray cats' suffering in Bulgaria. We fight for the forgotten with grit & hope.

Tiger Lily, our ex-stray co-host, inspires every rescue. Please support our life-saving work.🐾🐾 In Bulgaria, the stray cats are the most neglected of all animals. On the streets they live in misery & die in agony. And yet, there aren’t any government funded shelters, castration and adoption programs for them. Their only hope are the handful of rescues like our BSCRRC. Please, support our work by d

onating towards our monthly cat food & vet bills. If you wish to do so, please look on the page for our monthly Fundraiser or message us for details. Hugs & tail wags,

Ema’s Biter-sweet Surprise 💔❤

Our one-eyed darling joined the colony at the end of May. At first, her visits were sporadic. We spayed her on 24 June. Skittish and skilled at avoiding both people and other cats, Ema made it clear she was here for the food—nothing more. But slowly, she began to trust us. Now she takes kibbles from our hands and, in a gesture that broke our hearts, brought her kittens to the feeding station.
Sadly, all four of them are one-eyed and timid like their mom.

It’s a mystery why the white kitten appears so much younger than the others. His eye infection is the most severe. He’s been seen by our vet, who treated his affected eye and prescribed antibiotics. The baby is too young for surgery, which must be performed under general anesthetic. In a few weeks, when he’s stronger, his blind eye will be removed. After that, he’ll need a quiet foster home to heal and prepare for adoption—a place where his resilience can be met with gentleness.

We didn't name the kittens and we'll be grateful for your suggestions—we prefer unisex names.

Ema’s story is one of quiet courage. She survived, she protected, and gave her kids a chance. We’ll do the rest, hopefully together with you!

Dear supporters, our food supplies are critically low. We’re down to the last few bags and canes. If you’ve ever considered helping, now’s the moment.

Good Night From The Village 💛

Tonight, we tuck in with gratitude.

In the first photo: our VIPs/special needs cats: Debbie, Jujie, three-legged Ruddy, Finnegan, and Beckett—each one a survivor, a soul with a story, curled up in safety and softness. They remind us that healing takes time, and love makes it possible.

In the second: some of the sweet barn cats, nestled together like a living quilt. They’ve weathered storms, shared warmth, and built a quiet community of their own.

In the third: Kathy, our curious companion, resting after a day of gentle patrols and nose kisses.

And in the fourth: Nezhna, our guardian. While we sleep, she stands watch. Jackals have begun stealing pets and chickens from village properties—but not from ours. Nezhna keeps the intruders away. She protects the cats with a quiet strength that asks for nothing in return.

We’re ending the day with full bellies, soft blankets, and the kind of trust that only grows in safe places.

📌If you’d like to help us keep the blankets warm, the bellies full, and the trust growing—please donate through our Ongoing Fundraiser for Food & Vet Bills:

Your kindness makes this village possible. Sleep well, friends. 💫

A Gratitude Post ❤

To our amazing supporters, who time and again respond to our fundraising appeals—when days grow heavy and hearts feel stretched, your kindness lands like a soft blanket: steady, warm, and full of quiet assurance. Thanks to you, our rescue and colony animals are enjoying regular food and veterinary care when needed.

You may not hear their tiny purrs—but we do. And every one carries your name in its echo. Thank you for standing with us—especially when the weight of rescue work is more felt than spoken.

With gratitude from every paw and every beat of our hearts!

Heated Jabber Between Felix & Marty 🐈‍⬛🐈

Felix 🐈‍⬛ and Marty 🐈 from the Burgas colony caught mid-meow in what looks like a serious exchange. Can anyone fluent in feline translate? Perhaps:

- Marty claims Felix stole his kibble. (He does that)

- Felix says Marty's flirting with Ema is embarrassing.

- Ema? She’s spayed, unimpressed, and just trying to eat in peace.

Or maybe it’s a classic standoff over food, turf, or pride. Who knows—cat politics are complicated.

📌 Speaking of food… our supplies are critically low. We’re down to the last few bags. If you’ve ever considered helping, now’s the moment.

Weekend Warmth, Village Style 🐾❄️

The nights are getting colder in our little village, but our barn crew knows where to find warmth. By day, the kitties stretch out on their sun-drenched wooden chest, soaking in every golden ray. But come nightfall, they slip inside through the round entrance—curling up in their cozy wooden shelter, safe beneath layers of soft blankets and love.

Nezhna, our gentle guardian, keeps watch along the gravel path, her thick coat rustling in the breeze. Kathy, ever curious, trots beside her, crunching through fallen leaves with sleepy eyes and a brave little heart. These girls know the rhythm of the season—and they never miss a chance to check on their feline friends before settling in.

This weekend, we’re grateful for the simple things: shelter, warmth, and the quiet companionship of those who ask for so little and give so much.

Stay warm, friends. And if you’d like to help us keep the blankets fluffed and the bowls full, please donate through our Ongoing Fundraiser for Food & Vet Bills: https://goget.fund/3SDUULT.

With gratitude from every paw and every beat of our hearts!

Good night, friends 🌙🫶

It’s been a quiet ten days, with much happening behind the scenes. We’re still reeling from Puhie’s disappearance. Her little kitty house has been empty for four weeks now… and though it’s hard to accept, it’s time to let go of the hope that she’ll return.
Link to our original post: https://tinyurl.com/bd9fr5uy

We have new photos, videos, and stories to share—and we’ll begin updating our page tomorrow.

Sleep softly, sweet friends.
With love from our little rescue under the moonlight.

Goodbye, Puhie! 💔

This is the post I never wanted to write. We’ve lost Puhie—a gentle soul and cherished colony cat.

On 3 October, the Burgas region was devastated by a deadly flood. Link to BBC video: https://www.bbc.com/news/videos/c4gwkr1r5d7o

Four lives were lost, including two brave rescuers. Countless strays perished. All our colony cats survived and are accounted for—except Puhie. Her little shelter, tucked near her former residence, has remained empty ever since. We now know she’s not coming back. Our only hope is that someone, somewhere, offered her a warm and safe home.

Sweet Puhie, your story broke our hearts. You were so kind, so full of quiet love. You didn’t deserve to be abandoned by the people you waited for so faithfully. We saw the longing in your eyes. What hurts us most is that we were so close to finding you a forever family who would have never turned their back on you.

You left deep marks on our hearts. Goodbye, darling girl. 💔
********************************************************************
Dear friends,

If you’ve ever thought about fostering or adopting, please consider cats like Puhie—gentle souls who don’t have the skills to survive on the streets. She waited for love. She deserved safety. So many others still do!

Good Night From Kuma & Shiki 🌙🐾

Evening friends,

We hope your weekend was nice and relaxing.

Do you remember Mekichka and Pepper? Two tiny kittens, dumped in the yard of a kind-hearted couple known in their village for loving animals. Sadly, this is a common practice in our country. You can read their story here: https://tinyurl.com/3rn3d9jj

We placed the sisters with our trusted foster mum, Melissa. Both found loving homes—Mekichka, now Shiki, was adopted by Melissa herself, and Pepper by an American family living in Bulgaria.

Melissa also fosters our special needs Kuma (a.k.a Mimi), a former colony cat from Burgas who struggled to survive on the streets, and Panda, a former stray from Stara Zagora. Both underwent major dental surgeries—their teeth were rotting and had to be fully extracted. They now thrive on a strict soft food diet.

Due to their age and ongoing care needs, Kuma and Panda are unadoptable. They will stay with us, surrounded by love.

🐾 Every cuddle, every soft meal, every safe night—they’re only possible thanks to your support. 💛 If you'd like to help us care for Kuma, Panda, and other special souls like them, please donate through our Ongoing Fundraiser for Food & Vet Bills: https://goget.fund/3SDUULT

With gratitude from every paw and every beat of our hearts!

Update: New Arrivals at the Village Sanctuary 🐾

Last week, we shared the arrival of a bunch of cats and kittens—seemingly brought from another village and dumped on us, but now safe at our developing sanctuary. They still stick close to one another, often curling up together in shared spaces like the wooden boxes you see here. Slowly, they’re beginning to mingle with our resident cats. So far, no arguments—just quiet curiosity and cautious peace.

Thanks to our devoted supporters' swift response, 30 kg of dry food has arrived, and the cats are enjoying every bite.

📌If you wish to help us keep their bowls full, you can donate anytime through our Ongoing Emergency Fundraiser for Food & Vet Bills: https://goget.fund/3SDUULT

Every gift allows us to feed, house, and protect those who have no one else.

With gratitude from every paw and every beat of our hearts!

Good Night from Our Burgas Colony Crew 🌙🫶

Tonight at the Alfresco Cat Bistro, our regulars dined under the stars: (from left to right) Garfield, Rizhko, Poly, Monica, Meggy, Lily, Cocky-Charly, Belcho, Oreo, Ema and Marty. 🍽️🐾

We’ve managed to stock up 20 kg of dry food but our canned supply is running low. We've bought a few cans to tidy us up (photo number 4) but it’s time to place a new order. Every tin counts, especially for our seniors and sensitive tummies.

📌 Please, help us keep their bowls full by donating through our Ongoing Emergency Fundraiser for Food & Vet Bills: https://goget.fund/3SDUULT
Every gift allows us to feed, house, and protect those who have no one else.

Sleep well, friends. Tomorrow, we rise again—with soft paws, strong hearts, and the quiet grace of those who never ask for much yet give everything. ❤

🌙 Good Night from Debbie 🐈

Tonight’s purrs come from a red snowflake blanket and a heart that’s healing. Debbie, once a colony cat, had major dental surgery in March—and now she sleeps soundly in her village foster home, safe and loved.

She’s curled up in peace, reminding us that every rescue is a small victory.

📌 Please, help us keep these tender moments alive by donating through our Ongoing Emergency Fundraiser for Food & Vet Bills: https://goget.fund/3SDUULT
Every gift allows us to feed, house, and protect those who have no one else.

Thank you for helping us write these stories—one soft blanket, one brave soul at a time. Sweet dreams from Debbie and all of us who believe in second chances. 🐾❤

BSCRRC Mission Statement

We are a small team of volunteers united by a big and bold dream: easing the stray cats’ suffering in Bulgaria. We respond to urgent calls, feed hungry colonies and rescue the injured. We fight for better laws, humane treatment, and long-term solutions. We celebrate every adoption, every healed paw, every moment of peace we can offer.

At the heart of our mission is Tiger Lily—our feline co-host and “Chief Editor.” Her difficult journey from a fragile street kitten to Julia's cherished pet embodies the change we're striving for.

We’re not a shelter—we’re a LIFELINE. In most shelters, cats spend their days in cages. We believe they deserve more. We operate without a physical base, relying on foster homes, donations, and the kindness of like-minded people. Our work is fueled by love, grit, and the belief that every life matters—no matter how small, scruffy, or overlooked.

This page is our window into the world we’re trying to make a better place for the stray animals. Here we share stories of survival, heartbreak, and hope. We invite you to walk beside us, to amplify our message, and to help us build a future where no cat is left behind.

If you wish to support us, you can donate at any time to our Ongoing Fundraiser for Food and Emergency Vet Bills: https://goget.fund/3SDUULT

With gratitude from every paw and every beat of our hearts!
