Ice Cream for a Good Cause!

Okay, so it's pretty hard to find anyone who requires a compelling reason to eat amazing Ben & Jerry's ice cream on a balmy June evening. But in case you do, we'd just like you to know that the proceeds from the ice cream you purchase tomorrow (Monday, June 9th) evening between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. will pay for dental work for our BCC FRAC kitties!

Adopt-a-thon is Today!

Branford Compassion Club's first annual Adopt-a-thon is finally here!!

Come on down and. . .

• Say hello to our dedicated volunteers and learn more about what we do
• Meet, pet, and play with the 80+ kitties up for adoption
• Find out how you can help BCC reach out to cats in need
• Enter to win a backpack full of school supplies
• Adopt the perfect cat -- or cats -- for you!

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, 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!

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 our form, 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.

Hope to see you today!

FIV+ Positive Calico Kitten Still Seeking Home

"Susy is an adorable 7-month adolescent kitten with FIV..." [read more]

This Branford Patch blog post was originally posted on December 26, 2011. Today Susy is still looking for a new furever home. To meet Susy, visit us Saturdays 11am-3pm at 2037 Foxon Road in North Branford, CT or contact us at (203)483-MEOW.

Cat of the Week: Anson

Anson came to us when he was six weeks old. He and his sister, Orangina, were both very sick feral kittens. For awhile we thought both Anson and Orangina would lose their eyesight. The good news is they didn't, and were easily socialized into loving and playful pets!

Anson is full of energy and love. He loves spending time with people. He also gets along well with other cats.  Anson has big double paws that you can see in the photo above.

Orangina was adopted this weekend, but Anson is still looking for his "furever home." To meet Anson, please visit us during our adoption hours, 11am - 3pm every Saturday. We are located at 2037 Foxon Road in North Branford. For more information on the adoption process and fees, please visit our website here.

Featured Adoptables

These two lovelies have been getting good amount of attention from potential adopters, but it's all about finding the right home. Could that be you?

Featured Adoptables: Maya & Juno

Today at the BCC we have two wonderful female tiger kittens. They are on the prowl for a loving forever home, preferably together, but if they must, they will go their separate ways.

Maya (white toes) and Juno (white feet) had a very rough start in life.  They were orphaned at four weeks and went without food for a few days before they were rescued. When they were rescued, they were sick and starving. They have since recovered with lots of tender loving care.

Maya and Juno are extremely friendly lap kittens and are now in top health. They love to play with toy mice, puff balls, and paper dinner napkins. When they run laps, they have thundering feet. They play together, groom each other, and are loving sisters who want to find a furever home together.

Maya and Juno have both been spayed, fully vet checked, tested and fully immunized. If you are interested in adopting these beauties and are in the Connecticut area, e-mail us at contact_us@branfordcompassionclub.org or bcc_recruit@yahoo.com.

Featured Adoptables: Noah

I'm really sweet, I promise.

Today we would like you to meet Noah.

Noah is a wonderful cat who has been with the BCC for several months. His foster mom hates to think of letting him go but knows Noah needs his wonderful furever home.

Noah was found in a feral colony. I immediately fell in love with him and his friendly manner, and after some time I decided to take him from home. So I brought him to be vetted.  It was only then I learned that he he has FIV.

He does not have to take medication for FIV and can live a long and healthy life.  He is very lovable. Noah is between 3-5 years old. He has beautiful light blue eyes and white long hair. When we first got him his underbelly was so tightly matted he had to be shaved, but because the knots were hurting him, he didn't mind at all. He loves to be brushed whenever possible. Because I am a foster mom for BCC, Noah will not be able to stay with me. He desperately needs a furever loving home to live out his years.

Because of Noah's condition, he must remain indoors.  He can be in a single cat home or a household with other FIV cats. If anyone would love to give Noah a forever home, please let us know. If you would like, drop us an email at contact_us@branfordcompassionclub.org or bcc _recruit@yahoo.com. We will have someone contact you upon receipt.

*BCC does not do nationwide adoptions.
