Lexi and her foster mom went a little wild for Halloween this year! We hope you all had a safe and enjoyable holiday 🎃

10/29/2026

Tomorrow (10/29/2026) is National Cat Day! The holiday is an ideal time to adopt or foster a cat.
Visit https://www.brendascatrescue.org/ for adoptable cats and/or to learn how to become a foster.

The cats and kittens send a sincere thank you to the anonymous donor who sent dry & wet adult & kitten food, KMR powder & cans, and kitten dental treats. These donations help so many.

Keep these tips in mind with Halloween just around the corner!

--Doorbells ringing, knocks on the door, strange sounds, costumes, smells; they all spell danger for cats, both inside and out.

--If your cat goes outside, bring it in and keep it inside until after Halloween which is the most dangerous holiday for cats.

--On Halloween night when doors will be opening for Trick or Treaters, keep your cat in a closed room to prevent an escape.

--Use a baby gate or some type of barrier at the door so that your cat cannot run outside.

--A calming aid plugged into the wall, a room spray or even classical music may be helpful for a nervous cat.

--Make sure that your cat is microchipped. Unless your cat is chipped, there is no way to be reunited.

This is Hunter who is now with Brenda recovering from a diaphragmatic hernia which was repaired last Monday at Wissahickon Creek Vet Hospital. His abdominal organs, including both the large and small intestines, were pushed into his diaphragm and were pressing against his lungs. The cause was trauma, but he was not hit by a car. His surgery was very serious and complicated. He is emaciated and not in great health. He is the nicest and most loving cat. As I write this, he is sleeping on my lap.
Hunter is the second cat in a month, from BCR, that has had major surgery. Triumph had a front leg amputation, now has a rear leg infection and needs a full mouth extraction for stomatitis.
Our little guy, Puff, who had two severe eye ulcers, was just diagnosed with stomatitis and is undergoing experimental FIP drug treatment (he does not have FIP). These drugs have helped young cats recover from stomatitis and retain their teeth.
Please keep all three of these wonderful cats in your thoughts. Updates will be posted.

BCR was the only cat rescue at St. Thomas' Pawpalooza on Saturday 10/10/2026. Thanks to Terry VanVessem for helping at the table. We reached a lot of folks including one man who asked our opinion about breeding his cat! Some folks are still uneducated about why it is wrong to breed or buy while homeless die.

Otto is an official "foster fail" and is seen here with his new parents, Lauren & Michael!
Otto, the cutest polydactyl on all four paws, came into our Rescue as an abused kitten. He had a broken leg that had started to heal, but the bone was badly infected. There were two options: amputate or try to heal the infection which would require confinement and him wearing a cast that would need weekly changes for months. Treatment was long, arduous and expensive but we saved Otto's leg and he has regained full use of the leg. He now races around the house with his best friend, Earle, while Pickle, another BCR cat, tries to ignore the two ruffians. Cheers to a happy, healthy life Otto!
