Invite a kitty in need into your home to keep it safe and help it find a find a loving forever home. We rescue kittens and tame cats from trapping locations when they are in danger. We do not have a physical shelter - the kitties stay with foster families while we work to find them homes. Fosters bring the kitties to weekend adoption events events (usually Saturday afternoons at the College Station Petsmart on University Dr). Veternary care is provided along with most supplies - fosters typically provide food and litter, along with lots of love (but we can supply food & litter if cost is an issue for you). Fostering is a great way to enjoy helping animals without a long-term commitment and with minimal expense. Its so rewarding to know you helped save a life. Yes, it is hard to let them go, but we do ask adopters to send us updates so can be heart-warming to see our previous fosters thriving in their new forever homes. We provide advice and accept adoption returns if unavoidable (even years later) so our cats should be safe and never wind up dumped on the streets. Fostering to adopt can be an optin for kitties that are not ready to be adopted yet (due to needing to get fixed, treated for a medical issue, or better socialized). If you wind up wanting yto adopt your foster, you pay the adoption fee once they are ready to be adopted. If you are not able to attend Saturday adoption events (due to scheduling conflicts or distance), we can transfer your foster cat to someone who can bring them to adoption events or you could foster one who tends to not come to adoption events (such as some older cats or ones hard to get into carriers).

Helping trap cats to get them neutered is a great way to keep feral cats out of shelters. Most feral cats picked up by animal control end up killed in shelters as not adoptable. But they can continue to live where they are and not create a nuissance if they are fixed so that they do not reproduce. People contact BCS Spay for help getting stray cats on their property spayed/neutered. In many cases, we simply drop off a trap and explain the basics of cat trapping, such as withholding food for 24 hours proir to trapping and being sure to cover the trap to keep the cat calm. For the elderly/disabled or large colonies of cats we sometimes help with the actual trapping and transporting trapped cats to the vet to get fixed. If you have transportation and a few hours to spare most months, we can train you to help with trapping. Brazos County (Bryan, College Station), Texas

We need helpers at weekend adoption events, usually Saturday afternoons at the College Station Petsmart on University Dr. Help set up wire kennels and load the kitties into the kennels. Pet and play with the kitties to show them off to potential adopters. Encourage people to spay/neuter their pets and stray cats and explain how our voucher program works (once we have explained it to you). Give general cat advice if people ask. Overall, help rescued kitties find homes and get your kitty fix for the week.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to remove any barriers to spaying/ neutering pets and stray cats in Brazos county, Texas. By reducing the number of unwanted litters, our spay/neuter voucher program helps reduce the number of companion animals and feral cats entering our local shelters so that more pets will be able to find good homes. We subsidize spay/neuter surgeries, and provide assistance with transport and trapping stray cats. We also rescue some cats from trapping locations when they are in immediate danger.
