FELV+ Gender: Male Approximate age: 3 years (as of 2025) Arrived From: Greenville, North Carolina Arrival Day: January 2023 Eric was trapped by a TNR volunteer with six other kittens, all whom were FeLV+. Sadly, five of them passed away and the rescue worked hard to find homes for one others. The kittens had arrived during kitten season (which is really all the time any more) and the foster home they were in was needed for healthy kittens that could be adopted. So, Eric came to BCR! He’s grown into a beautiful cat who is fun and very friendly and like to stay on the move! 4/24/2026 Dear Supporters, It is with heavy hearts that we share that Eric has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. As you know, Eric was diagnosed with carcinoma in his nasal cavity, and we had been closely monitoring his comfort and quality of life. This past week, the medication we started helped reduce his inflammation and truly gave him a beautiful stretch of good days. Eric was playing, eating well, and soaking up all the love around him. He even had special visits from supporters and former Blind Cat Rescue caretakers, which made his week all the more meaningful. It was a gift to see him so bright and happy. Today, we began to notice his appetite decreasing, which is often the first sign for us that their time is nearing. While he was still enjoying the sunshine and curling up in his favorite soft donut beds, we knew in our hearts that it was time to say goodbye before things became more difficult for him. We strongly believe in letting them go on a good day, surrounded by love, dignity, and comfort. Eric had a wonderful three years here, filled with care, companionship, and so much affection. His playful antics and sweet spirit brought joy to everyone who knew him, and he will be deeply missed by all of us. We are so incredibly grateful to you for the love and support you gave Eric. Because of you, he knew what it meant to be safe, cherished, and truly loved. With heartfelt thanks and sympathy, Sam
