What We Do "Every noble work is, at first, impossible." --Thomas Carlyle
Captain Jack was found with a ruptured left eye. He suffered terrible pain for most of his short 5 months of life, until he came to BDRF. Through generous donations, he had surgery to remove the eye and close it permanently, which took away his pain. He is a JOY and loves life in his new forever home. |
BDRF is only limited
in what we can do by funding. We take in as many cats as we can manage
financially. Our hearts and homes are big enough to do more if we had
more money. (Please scroll down this page to see just a few of the cats/kittens we have helped.)
These cats come from all over the community. We are often out late at night trapping and getting cats out of bad situations. The vet cost is one of our biggest hurdles, but the food, litter and misc costs (e.g. gas, cleaning products, beds, toys, etc) are also high. We rely on monetary gifts from people like you to stop the suffering. We have low overhead, unlike the national organizations, and almost 100% of your donation goes directly to the care of the animals. When we take in a cat or kitten they get the best care available. Each cat is tested for FIV/Leukemia, vaccinated, wormed, de-fleaed, checked for ear mites, spayed/neutered and examined. If the cat is injured and needs surgery we take care of it. We do not euthanize unless the cat is suffering from something that cannot be fixed or something that will take away their quality of life. Every cat is important; even the ferals get the help they need. Each cat is evaluated by their foster parents and put up for adoption. Through our adoption process we find the best matches possible and ensure the cat never becomes homeless again. Below are just a few of our successes........ |
