Blind Cat Rescue & Sanctuary, Inc., (BCR), celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2025, is a safe, loving and healthy permanent home for cats deemed unadoptable and therefore immediately euthanized by most shelters and animal control facilities - blind cats, those that test positive for FIV or feline leukemia.  

Since its founding in 2005, BCR’s mission has continued to be to provide the resident cats with a permanent home while educating the public about them, their right to live and to have the chance to be loved family pets.  Through a strong social media presence, 24-hour access cameras, daily live tours, monthly open houses and volunteer opportunities, the BCR cats daily demonstrate for a growing global audience that they deserve to live.

Extending its mission outside the shelter, BCR continues sponsors a successful  spay/neuter program for feral cats in rural central NC that has treated more than 13,000 community cats in the past eight years alone.  BCR also spearheaded a 2014 program that put animal oxygen masks in every first-responder vehicle in the shelter’s home of Robeson County, NC, and provided a heat detector for the county’s canine police unit that alerts the officer when the air conditioner in his police car fails.
