What’s BCARL been up to lately? We’re glad you asked!

As we wrap up 2025, we want you to know that we are still helping animals in Belmont County. Most notably, we paid 100% of the cost to spay/neuter 831 cats for a total cost just shy of $100,000. We are in the planning stages for 2026. Is this a program you’d like to see us continue?

The following press release was sent to various Ohio Valley media outlets. We wanted to share it here, as well.

Highlights:

Nearly 800 cats spayed/neutered in 2025

Spay/Neuter Assistance Program helps spay/neuter dogs for $20

Local food pantries receiving pet food for distribution to those in need

📌PLEASE SHARE📌

Biscuit is searching for a new home and because she has a special place in our hearts, we are sharing her here. Biscuit is not at all a “problem child.” Her owner simply cannot keep her and the placement she’d originally lined up has fallen through.

Biscuit is 5 years old. She has a great temperament, is very loving and affectionate. She is up to date with vetting and has no medical issues. If you’re interesting in adding Biscuit to your home, please send a message to our page and we will put you in contact with her owner.

Wondering how this program is going? Compassionate Care Cat Clinic (CCCC) alone reports they have spayed 172 females and neutered 147 males.

PLEASE be patient with both CCCC and Barnesville Veterinary Services and understand there is a waiting list. They do have other animals to service besides the business we are sending their way. We are immensely thankful for their partnerships! ❤️
