Our Programs

Our cageless adoption centers have always set us apart from most other shelters and still serve as a model for humane colony cat housing today. There’s no better place to find a new friend!

Since our founding, we’ve sterilized and vaccinated nearly 25,000 cats and dogs. Our BDVM Mac Lean Spay/Neuter Clinic provides more than 4,000 spay/neuter packages annually to the neediest companion animals.

Our services include trapping assistance, counseling and assistance with fostering and placement of socialized cats and kittens. We field more than 3,000 requests for help with stray and feral cats and kittens annually.

Our foster program helps us to better care for newborn orphans, feral kittens, cats with medical conditions, and elderly cats. Most importantly, it allows us to rescue more cats!

Learn about the current issues affecting animals, and take action however you can to make your voice heard and effect lasting change.

Every year our Education Outreach Team gives dozens of informational presentations at schools, community centers, libraries, offices and more.

We developed this program to help individuals understand and cope with the crippling effects of losing a beloved pet.

We spread the joy that cats can offer to people who are no longer able to live with their own furry family members because they are in a nursing home or hospital.

Our Pantry distributes free pet food to those in need, so that guardians do not have to relinquish their pets due to financial issues. We also serve registered feral cat colony caretakers.

Every Monday is Wellness Day at the BDVM Mac Lean Clinic providing our TNR foster cats and kittens, and the cats and dogs of low-income pet guardians and local rescue organizations with free and low-cost veterinary care.
