While BCAIN has been unable to continue accepting owner surrenders of cats and kittens, we have continued pulling strays from the commuity. We started working with the League of Animal Welfare in Batavia earlier this year and we have been able to send many cats to them. So far, this year, we have been able to save nearly 100 community cats, with 25 cats currently in care, waiting for surgeries, rescue, or adoption.
If you would like to volunteer as a foster, please complete the application!
