Invite a kitty in need into your home to keep it safe and help it find a find a loving forever home. We rescue kittens and tame cats from trapping locations when they are in danger. We do not have a physical shelter - the kitties stay with foster families while we work to find them homes. Fosters bring the kitties to weekend adoption events events (usually Saturday afternoons at the College Station Petsmart on University Dr). Veternary care is provided along with most supplies - fosters typically provide food and litter, along with lots of love (but we can supply food & litter if cost is an issue for you).
Fostering is a great way to enjoy helping animals without a long-term commitment and with minimal expense. Its so rewarding to know you helped save a life. Yes, it is hard to let them go, but we do ask adopters to send us updates so can be heart-warming to see our previous fosters thriving in their new forever homes. We provide advice and accept adoption returns if unavoidable (even years later) so our cats should be safe and never wind up dumped on the streets.
Fostering to adopt can be an optin for kitties that are not ready to be adopted yet (due to needing to get fixed, treated for a medical issue, or better socialized). If you wind up wanting yto adopt your foster, you pay the adoption fee once they are ready to be adopted.
If you are not able to attend Saturday adoption events (due to scheduling conflicts or distance), we can transfer your foster cat to someone who can bring them to adoption events or you could foster one who tends to not come to adoption events (such as some older cats or ones hard to get into carriers).

About BCS Spay

Mission Statement
Our mission is to remove any barriers to spaying/ neutering pets and stray cats in Brazos county, Texas. By reducing the number of unwanted litters, our spay/neuter voucher program helps reduce the number of companion animals and feral cats entering our local shelters so that more pets will be able to find good homes. We subsidize spay/neuter surgeries, and provide assistance with transport and trapping stray cats. We also rescue some cats from trapping locations when they are in immediate danger.
Description
Residents of Brazos County who need help getting pets or stray cats spayed/neutered contact us to request vouchers. The vouchers, with whatever copay they are able to afford, covers the spay/neuter procedure, rabies vaccine, and microchip for identification. Ferals cats are eartipped to mark them as fixed before they are returned. We fix 350-450 cats and around 50 dogs each year. We are an entirely volunteer organization with no paid employees and rely on private donations to pay for the surgeries.
