Yesterday was a Purrfect day for this sweet lil man.

Still fully learning to trust, his new family had visited him a couple of times at Pet Valu Uxbridge where Tyler began building quite a bond with the youngest member of the family.

Yesterday they officially welcomed him to their family, where he was welcomed by other human and feline family members.

Happiest of new beginnings Tyler ❤️

Foster mom Emma shared a lovely update on momma Bellatrix and her five littles. At just two weeks young, everyone is doing wonderfully!

We are delighted that Bellatrix is enjoying her very last litter, safely tucked indoors with full tummies, soft blankets and loads of TLC❤️

This Guy 💙

First spotted wandering outside of Uxbridge, this handsome fella kept us on our toes for several weeks. Hungry, yowling, and watching humans with a cautious eye, we knew he wanted help—he just wasn’t quite ready to accept it.

Much too clever for standard traps or drop traps, the fellow we would eventually name Beans (because he was absolutely full of them 🫘) made one very strategic decision that, by all accounts, likely saved his life.

Although he spent his days visiting backyards throughout the little hamlet of Sandy Hook, every evening Beans made his way to the home of a BCC volunteer and rescuer.

Traps were set. Beans avoided every single one. Yet every night he came. So his rescuer did what many of us ultimately resort to when all else fails…

She left the door open and waited in the dark😂

It took patience, perseverance, and a few unexpected visits from local wildlife who apparently found the indoors rather entertaining, but eventually the rescuer outwitted the rescuee and Mr. Full-of-Beans was safely inside.

And then something pretty wonderful happened….

Beans settled in immediately, spending his first evenings sleeping beside the very person who had worked so hard to save him. Greeting the cats he had viewed from the outside like reunited family. When no owner could be found, it became increasingly clear that perhaps Beans had already chosen where he belonged.

He became a forever member of the family. ❤️

Every cat is different. Every rescue journey is different. And while we may never know the full story of how Beans came to be wandering, hungry and alone, we know exactly how his story continues.

A family to call his own.
A belly that will never be empty again.
A warm bed shared with his feline and human family.

And the security of knowing he is finally home.
Welcome to the newest of beginnings, Beans. 🫘

Wee-Member Us?

Chevy, Ford and their 4 siblings joined the BCC family at the end of May after being found in a barn. Sadly, their momma never returned for them.

The tiny crew of six bottle babies were welcomed by foster mom Dawn where they received around the clock care. Everyone thrived❤️

A few weeks ago, Chevy and Ford left our family to join a forever family of their own.

Their human mom Britt recently shared this lovely update:

“I just wanted to give an update on Chevy and Ricky (previously Ford)

The boys settled in quickly and put our large dog in his place right off the bat. They love having full run of the house to play, and watching them horse around has been fun.

Our girls experiencing kittens has been sweet to watch, and they are loving it. After losing my soul cat and feeling so devastated, these two have brought some happiness back. They snuggle up with me every night in bed, love kisses, and when I enter the house and say “hello my babies, where are you?”, they come running, meowing, and wait for me to scoop them up.

Forever grateful and thankful for these two. They are very much deeply loved.”

Thank you for the heartwarming update Britt and for opening your heart and home to Chevy and Ricky😻

Just one hour left! Our Cat Days of Summer fundraiser ends tonight at 9pm sharp 🐾

** THIS FUNDRAISER HAS ENDED.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT. WINNERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED SHORTLY **

Summer may be winding down but the kitties’ appetites certainly aren’t! At BCC, we have a whole lot of hungry little mouths to feed!

Our kitten caboodle still consists of more than 30 tiny floofers — and counting! Add our adult cats and the colony kitties we care for, and keeping all those tummies full certainly keeps us on our toes…and our wallets rather empty. 🐈‍⬛

Being able to make a difference in the lives of so many deserving cats is an honour and a privilege — one we simply could not continue without the kindness of our incredible rescue community.

OUR GOAL is to SELL A MINIMUM OF 600 TICKETS!
Every ticket helps us keep the BCC pantry stocked and those tummies filled.

There are 15 FABULOUS PRIZES TO BE WON! 🎉

Each ticket gives you a chance to win ONE of the following:
🍴 $100 The Keg Gift Card
🎁 $100 Amazon Gift Card
🍴 $100 Ultimate Dining Gift Card
🍷 $100 LCBO card
🐾 $100 Animal Clinic of East Durham voucher toward your pet’s veterinary needs
🍹 $50 LCBO Gift Card — 3 winners
🍿 $50 Cineplex Gift Card — 2 winners
☕ $25 Tim Hortons Gift Card — 3 winners
☕ $25 Starbucks Gift Card — 2 winners

🎟️ TICKETS: $10 EACH OR 3 FOR $25

Tickets will be assigned numerically, and every dollar raised goes directly toward the food costs associated with filling the tummies of BCC kitties.
🥇 First winner drawn gets 1st choice of prize, second winner gets 2nd choice, and so on!

So wherever you are, please SUPPORT • SHARE • HELP US FILL THOSE TUMMIES! 🐾❤️

From our entire BCC family, thank you to our incredibly generous prize donors and to YOU, our extended rescue family, for continuing to stand beside us.
Together, we are helping the kitties in our own backyards and rewriting so many deserving stories. 🐈

Wee-remember Us?

We joined the BCC family over a year ago with our 3 siblings. Orphaned shortly after birth, we were nicknamed ‘the Winnie the Pooh crew’ by our foster home Dawn and, after a very rough beginning, we thrived!

Our new human mom Grace sent a lovely update, along with our birthday pics. Yes, we’re a whole year old. And guess what, we are living our best life!

Happy birthday Frankie and Ghost (formerly Piglet and Roo)💞
