🌟 It’s Foster Friday! 🌟
We’re shining a light on some of the adorable cats and kittens currently living their best lives in our foster homes — and a few are ready to find forever families of their own! 💕🐾

Our amazing foster volunteers give these little ones a safe, cozy place to grow, heal, and come out of their shells. And thanks to them, we get to share these sweet faces with you every week!

👀 Keep an eye on each photo — we’ll include links for any kitties who are officially available for adoption so you can learn more or apply to meet them. Whether they’re playful, snuggly, silly, or shy, every one of them is special and so deserving of love.

Thank you to our fosters for opening their homes and hearts, and thank YOU for supporting these wonderful cats and kittens. Happy Foster Friday! 💛🐱

🌟 Where Are They Wednesday! 🌟

One of the best parts of our Giving Tuesday campaign was receiving updates from families of two of our featured pets — little Hufflepuff, now all grown up, and sweet Mollie, who looks so happy in her new home. 💛

We also sweet update an update from Faramir (formerly Munchkin), who was adopted 9 years ago. Faramir is FIV+, has had his share of health issues, but is the sweetest, most cuddly, talkative, and patient boy. 😽

Thank you to all our adopters who send updates. Your happy stories keep us going! 💕🐾

🎉 **Thank You for an Incredible Giving Tuesday!** 🎉

We are blown away by the kindness and generosity of our community! Thanks to all of YOU, we raised **$2,946**, and with our matching gift of **$2,946**, that brings our total to **$5,892** for the animals! 🐾❤️

We received donations made in honor of loved ones—both people and pets—and we are so grateful for every single gift. Your support will truly make a difference for homeless dogs and cats who have nowhere else to turn.

Animals like **little Asher**, who was found outside all alone as a tiny kitten. With the love and dedication of her foster mom, Asher has grown into a strong, happy girl—and now she’s ready for adoption!

From the bottom of our hearts: **thank you** for giving hope, giving love, and giving second chances. 💛

💛 This Giving Tuesday, your donation will be DOUBLED — but only until midnight! Please consider helping us continue saving animals like little Hufflepup.

When we were called to a local farm to help with an overpopulation of cats this summer, we found a tiny, frail kitten barely clinging to life. We named him Hufflepup. His eyes were so severely infected he was nearly blind, and a respiratory infection had taken a toll on his thin little body. He was cold, weak, and running out of time.

With intensive care, medication, and so much love, Hufflepup slowly began to heal. Thanks to supporters like you, he made a full recovery — and we were even able to save his eyesight. 💛 And today, he’s thriving in a loving forever home.

On this Giving Tuesday, stories like Hufflepup’s are a reminder of why your support matters.

💛 Give today and your gift will be doubled — but only until midnight. Every donation helps save lives. Donate here on Facebook or at https://givingtuesday.mightycause.com/story/BAHS_Giving_Tuesday
