EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS 🐕🐈⬛
Our shelves are bare, the kitten situation has hit crisis level… Can you help?
Summer is always one of the toughest times of year at BARCS. More animals arrive than any other season, and many come to us sick, injured, orphaned, or in need of intensive care. At the same time, many of the people who regularly support us with supplies, fostering, and donations are traveling and spending time with family. The need goes up just as our resources are stretched the thinnest.
Right now, our biggest needs are the following:
🔹 Dog Enrichment Supplies
Because of our current dog quarantine, enrichment opportunities are limited. Dogs are still getting walks, but we cannot currently use our large play yards. Toys, chews, treats, and enrichment items help keep dogs mentally stimulated while they spend more time in their kennels.

🔹 Cardboard Box Flats
We are completely out. These shallow cardboard trays are used as disposable litter boxes in our cat housing. Ream-of-paper box lids and beverage case flats work perfectly. Our cat population is growing quickly, and we need more immediately. These can be dropped off at our shelter 7 days a week. Our gates are open from 8 a.m.- 6 p.m. Monday- Friday and 7 a.m.- 4 p.m. on weekends.
🔹 Kitten Fosters Needed Urgently
We currently have more than 130 cats and kittens in foster homes and nearly 200 more at the shelter. Many are too young for a shelter environment and need foster homes immediately. Our foster network is completely full, and staff members have even been taking kittens home overnight as emergency fill-ins. If you can help us by picking up a foster as soon as today, please email [email protected] or stop in to talk to our team: https://www.barcs.org/foster
We’ve also put together a special Kitten Season wish list: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/VYGHKA2HAGSC
🔹 Cat Toys
We are completely out. Unlike dogs, cats don't get daily walks or time outside their kennels, so toys are one of the most important ways we can provide enrichment, reduce stress, encourage exercise, and help cats stay mentally engaged while they wait for homes. Even something as simple as a wand toy, ball, or kicker can make a huge difference in a shelter cat's day.
