Meet Kendra
Kendra came from out of town to stay for a week and volunteer.
We asked her to write a few paragraphs for us about her stay.
“I’ve been following Blind Cat Rescue And Sanctuary since July of last year, but it
wasn’t until late March that I actually got a chance to visit. From the tours and
newsletters, I was already familiar with the great job that the staff and volunteers do
to make a difference in the cats’ lives. But talking to the staff and seeing in person
the love and care that they have for these cats truly touched me. It was then that I
was sure I had to help give back with my time and energy!
I spent a week volunteering at BCR. Helping out with the daily chores and some of
the tours helped me gain an even deeper appreciation of all the hard work that goes
into making this place a true sanctuary for the cats. In between work I was able to
spend a lot of time with the cats. It was so heartwarming to see how much they
loved getting attention from me and all the other visitors.
I have so many great memories of the time I spent at BCR. Most of all, I’m glad I got
the opportunity to help BCR continue their work to provide a safe haven for cats who
would otherwise have nowhere to call home. More than ever I want to continue to
support their work, and I definitely plan to come back and help again! “
Thank you Kendra for all your hard work and sharing your time so generously
with the cats!
If you live out of town, You are welcome to come visit :) We have a guest house

RIP Noel
6/1/2017 Sadly Noel lost her battle with leukemia.
We knew that morning that the time had come. Her abdomen began
filling with fluid. We believe it is better to go on a good day verses a
bad day. Waiting another day or 2 she would have been suffering.
She spent her last day sunning on the patio, getting loved on,
shared some good bye head bonks with the other cats. She was
in my arms purring to her last breath. We were blessed to have
had her in our lives for a year and half. She was a double positive.
She was really dealt a bad set of cards.
HOW TO INTRODUCE A NEW CAT
By Diane M. Boyle
OK...So you read someplace that having 2 cats is no more trouble when you already
have one. And, because you already have one you realize the benefits...double the licks, hugs,
lap time, and ever so vocal chats...far outweigh any extra bit of added responsibility. While
this all may be true, cats are very territorial and introducing your resident cat to the pending
newcomer is a completely different story.
A good start to the 'nose to nose' meet involves keeping the cats separated (by a
door is preferable) while placing a blanket or toy used by one cat in the other cats territory.
Try rubbing a clean sock along the facial pheromones of one cat and place it with the other cat.
This allows them to get used to the scent of each other. Feeding the cats by the closed door will
allow them to smell and hear each other while eating 'together'...getting them acclimated by
using a positive activity. Do this for a couple of days and if there's no aggression (growling or
hissing) and they are playing a paw-game under the door, then you know you are heading for
a quick and successful intro! If they seem comfortable and no more than curious, it's ok to move
ahead by opening the door. Continue to keep them separated by using a tall window screen,
pet gate, or something with holes in it that they can't jump over. This allows them to see each
other and have more interaction. Feed them 'together' and supervise the visits for a few more
days. Try playing with both of them under the screen or gate to encourage them to be friendly
and associate the other cat with fun and play-time. If it goes well and they seem anxious
(not agitated) to meet each other, then you can try removing the gate and slowly let
them interact while still supervising. If you encounter any aggression, don't be discouraged. Just
go back a few steps in the intro process and proceed more slowly. Sometimes they just need to
feel a little more secure in their environment before the actual nose to nose meeting.
The entire process should take about a week, so be patient. A proper introduction
will create lifelong pals and give you two happy, healthy companions in a stress free
environment!

Meet Taffy
Taffy is a sweet leukemia positive cat who came to live with us 5 years ago.
She was found living as a stray begging for meals around the neighborhood.
Finally someone decided to help her and took her to the vet to make sure
she was fixed etc. Sadly she found that she also tested leukemia positive.
She knew she could not put her back outside and started trying to find a
place for her to go. Taffy was blessed to have an angel on her side.
Taffy loves to play, she will play “basketball” with toys with you.
You throw them to her, she will smack them back to you.
Taffy’s nickname should be Houdini. When she first
arrived she really disliked cats. We were going to try her
out as a lobby cat. Her first night out of a cage we had a
severe thunderstorm. After hearing a very loud clap of
lightening striking a tree close by, Taffy tore the plastic
spacer out next to a window air conditioner and escaped!
We saw sightings of her a few times but she would not
let us catch her. We have many out buildings on the farm,
there were plenty of places for her to hide. We kept putting
food out at night for her. We tried traps but she was not
going for them.
After not seeing her for a month we felt like she had maybe
moved on and stopped putting food out. (We were having
a horrible problem with raccoons!) Open house weekend
an employee was standing outside talking on the phone and
who comes out from under the shed? Yeap Taffy. I guess
she was hungry and hoping for a meal. She was scooped
up and back inside a safe cage she went! She moved into
a secure room a few weeks later. She has never made
another attempt to go outside again.
Now Taffy is entering the end of her stay with us. The leukemia has
awoken and she is fighting intestinal cancer. We are spending extra
time loving on her for the time she has left. She thanks you for all
the caring and support you have given the cats that allows her to
be in a loving environment and cared for.
