<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">
Today, we'd like to focus some attention on a full-grown guy who's been with us for awhile, and is hoping to find his forever home ASAP!</span></h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>Murphy</b></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-74ZqQ-5mEbM/UxLZsGlhUtI/AAAAAAAAAVU/07hkVNVc_4I/s1600/BCCMurphy2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-74ZqQ-5mEbM/UxLZsGlhUtI/AAAAAAAAAVU/07hkVNVc_4I/s1600/BCCMurphy2.jpg" height="640" width="385" /></a></div>

<b>Murphy</b> is a very regal and distinguished gentleman with dramatic gold and black stripes and white markings. He's strikingly handsome, but aloof with people he doesn't know well. Such an independent character doesn't give his heart away to just anyone; once he gets to know you, however, he'll play, permit an ear rub (loves that!), and come when you call his name. Murphy isn't comfortable with being picked up, but petting from members of his inner circle is just fine, as well as a game chasing laser lights or anything with feathers or string. Murphy also loves simply lying in a sunny window and watching the world go by. After a vigorous play session, he'll find a secret place for a cozy nap. </div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
A family with kids isn't for Murphy, but in his foster home, he learned to get along with other cats, and even dogs. Someone who recognizes a diamond in the rough and has the patience to help it shine would be a great match for Murphy, but it's also important to realize that he may be as close to a “finished product” as he's going to get. </div>
</div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
</div>
The ideal human for Murphy would be one who enjoys witnessing a cat just being a cat -- playing, purring, chilling -- but isn't looking for an extreme cuddler. If the idea of sharing your home with a gorgeous guy who'll give you your space, yet still let you know he's there sounds about right, come on in and meet Murphy!<br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
With just a couple of weeks until
Thanksgiving, we've been thinking about the many things for which
we're grateful. On behalf of all of BCC's cats -- from our feral
colonies to our foster kitties to the residents at our Feline Rescue
and Adoption Center -- we'd like to thank friends old and new for
donations of time, money, publicity, supplies, and all manner of
other support. As for the wonderful people who've made room in their
lives for one or more of our shelter cats, we'd bet they're expressing their gratitude every day!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
As you get ready to share the day with
friends and family, here are 5 tips to make Thanksgiving (or any
holiday) equally wonderful for your cat.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<ol>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>Be mindful of where cats go once
company arrives</b>. Some would rather retreat than meet guests, while
others might look for any opportunity to slip outside as guests come
in. Make sure that indoor cats are in a safe spot during the
festivities. If you have a cat who really hates company, set up a
“safe room” where she can chill out (be sure to provide food,
water, and litter).
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Cats
plus candles can spell disaster</b>, s</span>o if you have a curious feline around the house, you may have more to worry about than simply keeping Kitty
out of the entr<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">ees</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">.
Consider replacing your tabletop candles with LED candles for
danger-free ambiance.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Did
you know that onions are highly toxic to cats</b>? For this reason,
onion-laced gravies and side dishes should </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><i>not</i></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">
be part of your furry friend's Thanksgiving meal. That doesn't mean
he can't enjoy a bit of turkey -- just make sure it's plain. Sneak
him a few cooked, chopped giblets, and he'll be in heaven!</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Serve
your cat before you serve your guests</b>. This way, she can enjoy her
meal in peace and have a post-turkey snooze while the "</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">official" dinner is being served.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Give
Kitty some quality time before and during the festivities</b>. 15
minutes of playing and petting an hour or so before the guests
arrive will be therapeutic for both of you. If he's in a safe room or
not hiding under the bed, give him a little attention later on, too.
Of course, you'll probably collapse together after everyone's gone,
but those little extra visits beforehand will remind your pet that
you're thankful for him, too!</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">Stay tuned for updates on BCC's upcoming events as well as profiles of our Featured Cats :)</span></div>

Cats!Here we are, halfway through October and thoroughly enjoying the bright days and crisp nights that make autumn in Connecticut so spectacular. And speaking of the wonders of fall, what's better on those cool, star-filled evenings than a delicious cup of coffee from a master roaster? Several cups -- plus homemade treats to go with them! Add to the mix the shared wisdom of an animal massage therapist and communicator and the fact that the proceeds from this amazing event go to cat rescue, and you'll feel great about attending. . .<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UH2ML0O8viM/UlsfekoiSlI/AAAAAAAAATI/NKppJ_0jcBc/s1600/25582052-3-800x0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UH2ML0O8viM/UlsfekoiSlI/AAAAAAAAATI/NKppJ_0jcBc/s400/25582052-3-800x0.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Once in a while, we encounter two cats
who, while they might fare perfectly well in separate situations,
really do seem happiest together. <b>Athena</b> and <b>Esme</b> are a perfect
example of this, which is why we would love for them to go to the
same forever home!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
These beautiful sisters are about a
year old. Athena is more white than black, while Esme is more black
than white. You can certainly see a family resemblance, but their
personalities are quite different. Esme is the outgoing one, while
Athena is quite shy. They're both crazy about laser lights and other
toys (if you're carrying one of their favorites, you won't get away
without a vigorous play session), and they both <i>love</i> treats.
The only thing they love more than treats is each other's company.
They'll groom, play, and just chill out with one another; it's
wonderful to watch even the simplest interactions between such a
sweet and companionable pair.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Esme is fine with being picked up,
while Athena isn't just yet. Esme is definitely more touchy-feely
than her sibling; we don't know why that is, but they do seem to
complement each other perfectly. . . maybe we should have called them
Yin and Yang. :)</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Athena and Esme are ready to settle
into a loving home together. Helping them do just that will be one
of the many rewards of sharing your life with this lovely duo. Please
pay the girls a visit any Saturday between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., and
find out if they might be the right match for you!</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Today, we'd like to focus on a male cat who needs extra attention to help him
shine. . .</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NO0zTtDnVig/UkSbQAtHGcI/AAAAAAAAASo/fTyLkwjcE0Q/s1600/559380_10200701228438555_1958960983_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NO0zTtDnVig/UkSbQAtHGcI/AAAAAAAAASo/fTyLkwjcE0Q/s400/559380_10200701228438555_1958960983_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Silver</span></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Tall,
grey, and handsome, Silver is a young adult tabby with energy to burn. Step
one in making friends with Silver is to break out a feather on a
stick or any other of his favorite toys. Step two is to give him his
space until he feels comfortable with physical contact. He's not a
cuddly type of guy right now, but the right kind of nurturing could
change that.</span></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Ideally,
Silver's forever home would be with people who are on board with
winning over a somewhat skittish character. Silver's macho
personality and boundless energy mean he's better on his own (no cat
roomies) with dynamic adult humans who love to play. One of the
really fun things about Silver is how physical he is: two (or more!)
half-hour workouts per day do wonders for him, but it's very hard for
Silver to get that kind of focus at the shelter. We want so much for
him to have that chance, s</span>o
we're reaching out to anyone who “gets” a cat like Silver. He has
so much to give to the right person. Could it be you?</div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Come
on down for a play session with Silver on Saturday between 11 a.m.
and 3 p.m.</span><br />

This is our first adoption marathon ever, but we hope to make it so successful that it becomes an annual event. That means more visitors, more fun, and, of course, more adoptions than on any typical day at the Feline Rescue and Adoption Center. To that end, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;"><b>BCC's usual $95 per cat adoption fee will be reduced to just $50 per cat during Adopt-a-thon, and if you adopt one kitten, you'll get another kitten free!</b></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div>
If you're ready to welcome the love of a cat or kitten into your life, this is the day to do it! Get a jump on the adoption process by downloading <a href="http://www.branfordcompassionclub.org/adoption.html" style="color: red; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">our form</a>, or fill one in when you get here -- and don't hesitate to call us at 203-483-MEOW with any questions you may have.</div>

Hope to see you today!</div>

<a href="http://www.branfordcompassionclub.org/" target="_blank">Adopt-a-thon</a> is a purrr-fect opportunity to meet adoptable cats like <b>Zipper</b>, the next wonderful kitty in our Featured Cats Series:<br />

As far as we're
concerned, black cats are good luck in every way -- especially a
sweetheart like Zipper. Silky and shiny, petite and elegant, this
young female gets along beautifully with all of her friends in Room
2. Zipper could be adopted on her own, or she could join a household with
another friendly cat. Zipper is a little shy, and not yet
comfortable with extended holding or cuddling, but she loves playing
with her favorite toy, being brushed (even on the tummy!) and having
her fur fluffed. She may not let those things happen immediately, but
a patient person (or people) committed to making friends over time in
view of giving Zipper a forever home, would be rewarded with a
playful, curious, and charming companion. <br />
<br />
Come visit Zipper and enjoy the <a href="http://www.branfordcompassionclub.org/" target="_blank">Adopt-a-thon</a> festivities this Saturday!</div>

Only two more weeks until the kickoff of <a href="http://www.branfordcompassionclub.org/adoption.html" target="_blank">BCC's</a> Back-to-School Adopt-a-thon! On Saturday, September 21, we'll open our doors from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., during which time we hope to match up many of our more than 80 resident cats and kittens with forever homes.<br />
<br />
Adopt-a-thon is a fantastic opportunity to:<br />
<ul>
<li>Say hello to our dedicated volunteers and learn more about what we do</li>
<li>Meet, pet, and play with our kitties</li>
<li>Find out how you can help BCC reach out to cats in need</li>
<li>Enter to win a backpack full of school supplies</li>
<li>Adopt the perfect cat -- or cats -- for you!</li>
</ul>

This is our first adoption marathon ever, but we hope to make it so successful that it becomes an annual event. That means more visitors, more fun, and, of course, more adoptions than on any typical day at BBC. To that end, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;"><b>BCC's usual $95 per cat adoption fee will be reduced to just $50 per cat during Adopt-a-thon, and if you adopt one kitten, you'll get another kitten free!</b></span></div>

If you're ready to welcome the love of a cat or kitten into your life, come on in to BCC's Feline Rescue and Adoption Center (2037 Foxon Rd., North Branford, CT) on September 21. Get a jump on the adoption process by downloading <a href="http://www.branfordcompassionclub.org/adoption.html" target="_blank">our form</a>, and don't hesitate to call us at 203-483-MEOW with any questions you may have.</div>
