Bradford Cat Rescue/Feral Population Control Efforts

Help us make a difference to the cats of Bradford, VT

For years now we have had an occasional litter of kittens coming our way from Bradford, VT. We knew there was a feral cat issue in the town, however, until recently we had NO idea how big that problem really was. There are three major bands of cats in the town that have been breeding and increasing in numbers at an alarming rate.

Many kittens and cats get run over in the streets each week or die quietly in a corner from hunger, parasites and sickness. SAP Rescue has taken on the task of making this town's cats our problem and we need a lot of help to fix the issues. We have begun to spay and neuter these cats and have started to place those that are friendly and healthy.

We took in over 25 cats our first month on the job and are working towards the next load. Many of these animals are friendly, and after some good food and flea treatment will make fantastic family pets. Others will make great barn cats too. If you can help us in any way we would love to have your assistance, no matter how small. We need money for vet services, food for the feeding stations and most of all loving forever or temporary foster homes to make a difference. There are hundreds of local animals in need.

WANTED: Patience and a Big Heart

We would like to introduce you to Brewster. Brewster is the sweetest boy you will ever meet. You may look at his photo and think he looks a little rough around the edges. You wouldn't be far from the truth.

Brewster arrived in VT the end of February and was scared to death. He and his two siblings had spent the first 5 months of their life living in a back yard in Virginia with very little exposure to people or new things. He depended on his sister for everything and had a really hard time with her leaving to go to her new home.

Brewster is just a mere 7 months old and incredibly loving, sweet and devoted when he knows he can trust you. However until he knows who you are he is scared and paces and seeks cover out of fear. This little guy had to go through several months of treatment for Puppy Mange a non transmittable condition that causes hair loss and skin infection). During this time he lost a lot of his hair and due to the extent of the condition may not ever totally regrow his hair in the effected spots even though cured from the condition.

He has come a long ways in two weeks, and is getting much better about new people coming near him. But Brewster will need continued commitment to getting him socialized. He was neutered this week and is up to date on everything. All Brewster needs now is the perfect home, one that will offer him patience and love while he grows to understand what the big world is all about. Do you have the time and kindness that this loving pup needs? He will repay you with a life time of love for the opportunity. Please contact us to find out more about this fantastic boy. 802-457-4017 days 802-457-2608 night. Thank You Sonja
