Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Animal Protection & Welfare, Animals
Mission: Now celebrating its 20th anniversary, Blind Cat Rescue & Sanctuary, Inc., (BCR) provides a safe, loving and healthy permanent home for cats deemed unadoptable and therefore immediately euthanized by most shelters and animal control facilities - blind cats, and those that test positive for FIV or feline leukemia. Since its founding in 2005, BCR’s mission has been to educate the public about these cats and their ability to be loving family pets. Through a strong social media presence, 24-hour access cameras, regularly scheduled open houses, tours and volunteer opportunities, the BCR cats daily demonstrate for a global audience that they deserve to live and be loved family pets. BCR also sponsors strong community cat colony spay and neuter program in rural central North Carolina to help reduce the number of cats and kittens euthanized in shelters. It also spearheaded a 2014 program that put animal oxygen masks in every first-responder vehicle in Robeson County, NC, and provided a heat detector for a county canine police unit.
Results: Our resident cats provide a window into the lives and abilities of these cats, proving that they are in no way disabled or unable to be adopted as pets. Our strong social media presence and 24-hour cameras offer this view to a global audience. By the end of 2023 our community cat colony program spayed/neutered 13,000 cats.
