Bordentown City Cats

Ever wonder what our dedicated volunteers do on a daily basis in the City of Bordentown?  Well throughout the city are a number of feral cat colonies that our volunteers visit every morning.  There you'll find the kitties who are accustomed to the outdoors and unable to be domesticated enough to be adopted, so our vounteers provide daily feedings to help them weather the elements and stave off hunger. Our volunteer Wendy said it best in her own words,  "Last week I took a camera with me so everyone could see what I see when I walk around in the early morning, like a crazy person, in the rain, sleet and snow, with a big stupid smile on my face..."

        Since we posted this in November, loving, little Annabel has found a forever home...just in time for the holidays, no less!  Affectionate little Annabel is desperately in need of a loving forever home to help erase the abandonment she recently suffered. Volunteers found her out in the woods of Bordentown, left to fend for herself amongst a colony of feral cats during days of torrential downpours. She immediately greeted our volunteers who rescued her and brought her to the vet where she was fully vaccinated and it was determined that she had already been spayed and is roughly a year old. One of our gracious fosterers is currently taking care of her, but she is not doing so well around other less friendly cats. However, she is gentle and loving with children so she would do great with a family with no other cats. Will you be the one to give her a new home for the holidays? If so, please contact us at: btowncitycats@gmail.com .

Kudos to Girl Scout Troop 70252 for the fantastic website they created for their Silver Award Project! The site blends compassion with education to help promote animal adoptions, fight the cruelty of puppy mills, and support spaying and neutering. We are proud to partner with them to help spread the good word. Please take a moment to view their website and pass it along to others.

The hardwork of our dedicated volunteers has paid off and now these lucky kitties are basking in the comfort of their new forever homes... Tony  Tabby Richard  Cal  Liz Radley

This is a sad, sad story that we are all too familiar with... The poor feline featured in this story is in a similar position as Lickity and Zippy, two approximately 7 year-old siblings who were abandoned in a box on our door step this year. They were declawed by their previous owner and are still looking for new, forever homes. If you are interested in giving them a new life, please contact us at: btowncitycats@gmail.com . Zippy Lickity

This is the tale of Zippy (orange & beige male) and Lickity (black female), both are 6-7 years old, possibly siblings, however we're unsure.  They were left in a box on the sidewalk outside the house of one of our volunteers.  After spending their whole life with a family, they were suddenly cast aside to fend for themselves.  This is a sad, but common story, in this unfortunate economy.  Luckily our volunteer found them before it was too late and they have been resting comfortably in the home of one of our good-hearted fosterers.  But what they really need is a permanent home, one where they know they will be loved and taken care of, never to be discarded again.  Our biggest challenge is always to find homes for older cats, but these lovable two have a lot of life left in them.  Will you be the one to give them a happy ending? If you or anyone you know is interested in adopting Zippy or Lickity, please contact us at:  btowncitycats@gmail.com .

Thanks to the dedication of our foster volunteers, Princess & Little Man are resting nicely in what we hope will be their new forever home! Princess Little Man

Allow us to introduce you to Liz (tortoise/calico) and Richard (orange tabby).  Born right around the time of the passing of the late, great Dame Elizabeth Taylor, Liz was named in her honor and the boys in the litter were named after her many famed husbands, i.e. Richard.  These cutie pies are now about 5 months old, spayed/neutered and fully up-to-date on shots.  Both love to play, but what they would love even more is a loving home to call their own.  Right now they are currently being housed at the PetSmart on Nassau Park Boulevard in Princeton if you would like to see them. If you are interested in adopting Liz or Richard, please contact us at:  (E) btowncitycats@gmail.com or (P) 609-324-3896.

Meet Meggy.  She is a bright-eyed, little lady who is very friendly and playful and loves dogs and people.  At 16 weeks old, she is spayed, up-to-date on shots and ready to go to a good home.  If you are interested in adopting Meggy, please contact us at: btowncitycats@gmail.com .

Will you open your door and your heart to one of these cuties?  If you or someone you know is looking to give a loving, forever home to a cat or kitten, check out the many we currently have available for adoption.  For more information, please contact us at: (E) btowncitycats@gmail.com or (P) 609-324-3896. male male Calvin (blk & wht) & Hobbes (orange) - 5 month old males Cuddles - 12 week old male Little Dewey - male June Bug - 7-8 week old male female & male Tabby - 5-6 week old male Tony - 5-6 week old male

This is Maya, another one of Bordentown City Cats' heart-warming success stories.  Maya was part of  a litter of six that were so parasite infested and malnourished that one of her siblings didn't even survive.  Under the care of our dedicated fosterers, the others were nursed back to health for months and eventually thrived. Check out Maya today...she seems to have more than thrived in her happy home, she is now pleasantly plump! If you or someone you know has adopted a cat through us and has a similar success story to share, please email your story and photos to btowncitycats@gmail.com .

At just five months old, little Iago developed heart problems. BCC volunteers raised money to get him an echocardiogram and a heart murmur was detected. Thanks to their dedication, today he is thriving and gorgeous. Now he even nurtures the newborn kittens we recently found in a coat by the side of the road. A happy ending for all. There are countless other heart-warming stories like this that have emerged since Bordentown City Cats started rescuing and finding homes for our feline friends in 2003. Have you or someone you know adopted a kitty through us and now have a happy-ever-after story you'd like to share? Please email us with your story and photos so we can gladly share them with everyone:  btowncitycats@gmail.com .

Ever visit PetSmart and see all of the cats and kittens in the Adoption Center anxiously awaiting a new home?  This center helps them gain valuable exposure in our adoption quest, but it requires rescue groups who use it to pitch in and help maintain it.  Simple tasks like giving the kitties fresh food and water and scooping their litter box are all we're required to do.  But with everyone's busy lives, we're desperately in need of volunteers.  If you can spare an hour once or twice a month, it would make all the difference in the world!  If interested in volunteering, please email us at: btowncitycats@gmail.com

It warms our heart every time one of our cutie pies finds a forever home. Little Teddy and Teenage  Angelo are the latest Bordentown City Cats success stories.  Congrats on the new homes they found this weekend! Angelo Teddy
