Mission: 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, senior 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 is also sponsors strong community spay and neuter program to help reduce the number of cats 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. As of the end of 2021 we spayed/neutered 2,000 cats.
