No More Homeless Babies -- Spay and Neuter Emergency!

Money is tight at the moment, and BCC's FRAC needs contributions toward neutering our current crop of kittens! There are only 25, and donations of even $5 would be enormously helpful and appreciated. Please visit our page at YouCaring.com to donate, and thanks!

Meaningful Gift Ideas for People Who Have Everything

Wouldn't it be great if every gift you bought this season could affect someone beyond its recipient in a positive way? Nutmeg Spay/Neuter Clinic has two options that will delight your loved ones and allow you to support a service that's crucial to the well-being of Connecticut's cats and dogs.

1. Make a wine lover happy with a lovely bottle (or gift pack) of BenefitWines.com's organic wines, with a percentage of the proceeds donated to Nutmeg's FeralCare, Inc. Learn more and order here!

2. Buy lights in honor of a loved one's living or deceased pet now through January 1! At only $5 per light, the Nutmeg Spay/Neuter Clinic's Annual Memorial Tree is a beautiful way to remember the animals that mean and have meant so much to us -- and to give to animals now and in the future. There's still time to attend the tree-lighting tonight, from 5 - 7 at 25 Charles St. in Stratford!

Earth Day Adopt-a-thon!

Welcome Spring -- and maybe a new friend or two -- this Saturday with BCC's Earth Day Adopt-a-thon! Come on down to FRAC, partake of refreshments, and enjoy meeting our kitties. All adoptees are spayed/neutered, vaccinated for rabies, distemper tested, dewormed, and flea treated. Gift pack with each adoption. See you there!

Connex (and You) Can Help Cats in Need!

The jar by the door; the junk drawer; your coat pocket; between the sofa cushions -- they're all places coins like to hide. When it's time to exchange your surplus coins, BCC hopes you'll do it at Connex's Guilford Branch. . .

Carols and Cats. . .Tonight!

Come to the United Methodist Church TONIGHT and get your yule on for a good cause: Join BCC for Carols and Cats!

. . . and don't forget that BCC is commemorating World AIDS Day all December long by waiving adoption fees on all of our FIV-positive kitties. Learn more about FIV and our cats at our website. Hope to see you tonight at Carols and Cats!

Coffee and . . . 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. . .
