In response to an urgent email reporting a stranded blind kitten, our team at the
Blind Cat Rescue sprang into action. The kitten, abandoned on a property just a few
miles away, faced imminent danger from a pack of stray dogs known for their
predatory instincts. The person who discovered her was understandably alarmed
and reached out for help, but animal control is not accepting animals and said even so they
would have to euthanize her and other rescues were already overwhelmed with animals.
Despite our own facilities being at maximum capacity, our director refused to turn a blind eye
to the plight of this defenseless feline, embodying the spirit of rescue and
advocacy that defines our organization.
“Snatching up a crate, I rushed out, contemplating the challenge of accommodating a
cat we didn't officially have space for at our sanctuary. We had a partnership with
another rescue known for finding homes for blind cats, and my original plan was to
get her vetted, spayed, and placed in a forever home. Blind Cat Rescue has educated about
blindness for the last 20 years and thinking this would be a full circle success story. But it
swiftly became evident: she had already deemed Blind Cat Rescue as her forever home”

Cricket is fearless and loves everybody that walks through BCR’s doors.
She will be having surgery in June to have her spayed. She is currently in the lobby while we
decide which room she will be in!
