The Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR) program impedes the exponential growth rate common in feral colonies. The Rescue Program employs an all-volunteer, foster-based network to remove young kittens (and an occasional friendly stray or abandoned house cat) from the community cat population. Rescued kittens and cats are socialized to humans, provided comprehensive vetting, and adopted into forever homes. The Colony Support Program ensures the approximately 170 free-roaming cats living on 20+ commercial and industrial properties throughout Beltsville receive daily food and water, shelter, and emergency medical care throughout the year. In support of all three programs BCC provides support and education to community members, colony caretakers, property owners, and property managers so that community cats can live harmoniously alongside homes and businesses in Beltsville. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63e7ee8b498bad7981b111f0/3b181063-adc9-490f-83f0-f308aeea1ddc/37317220-6F97-40FD-8E94-3DF72BA16C0C.JPG Main https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63e7ee8b498bad7981b111f0/ddfe6e46-f4f8-401e-8f82-5ea54a8d01e8/Resized_20230320_162651.jpg Main - My eartip is my badge of honor It means someone cared enough to make sure l’m no longer reproducing, fighting with other cats, and bringing more homeless kittens into the world. lt also means l’m vaccinated which protects me and those around me. https://www.beltsvillecats.net/our-mission-and-goals-1 daily 0.75 2023-02-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63e7ee8b498bad7981b111f0/4f5623d8-660c-4721-a4b6-47e44d8d85b6/E76A96D6-BA49-4AD8-A8DF-D39479F48DF8.jpeg Rescue https://www.beltsvillecats.net/funding daily 0.75 2023-03-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63e7ee8b498bad7981b111f0/e56c413b-99c2-4e77-8fbe-f34688b610ea/IMG_1260.jpg Funding - BCC Would not be where we are today without the initial funding provided by Laurel Cats and the training, technical assistance and ongoing support provided by the dedicated volunteers at Laurel Cats. BCC relies on small grants and donations from individuals and businesses to pay our vet bills and cover the minimal administrative services associated with running an all-volunteer nonprofit. BCC has received grants from the Maryland Department of Agriculture, the Prince George’s County Council, Petco Love, and Athletes for Animals. Many individuals and businesses have supported BCC with donations. https://www.beltsvillecats.net/new-page daily 0.75 2023-02-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63e7ee8b498bad7981b111f0/1676144268876-9ULK1NZTF4984QS1EI8Q/caroline-ziemkiewicz-SmZlptlLhaY-unsplash.jpg Issues https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63e7ee8b498bad7981b111f0/c2148aa4-43aa-437d-b952-a250d4664457/Traps.JPG Issues https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63e7ee8b498bad7981b111f0/66c8a5fd-aa52-45cc-98cf-e340b985e166/IMG_2074.jpeg Issues https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63e7ee8b498bad7981b111f0/ccbb30d2-92e1-40e5-a178-914095be5c38/IMG_6740.jpeg Issues https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63e7ee8b498bad7981b111f0/403ed7cc-3b6d-40fd-94d8-d660459656b3/IMG_6947.jpeg Issues - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.beltsvillecats.net/partnership daily 0.75 2023-03-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63e7ee8b498bad7981b111f0/0c172b66-2368-4eb5-b12e-2046fd39936a/IMG_1267.jpg Partnership - BCC is a member of the Prince George’s Community Cat Alliance (the “Alliance”), a coalition of cat groups in PG County working with PG County Animal Services Division (PGASD-the county shelter) and Best Friends Animal Society. The “Alliance” was formed to decrease the euthanasia rate for cats at the county shelter and to ensure the community cats picked up by PGASD are altered and eartipped before they are released back to field. Best Friends Animal Society provides grant funding, training (e.g., on customer service, diversion strategies and kennel care), and technical assistance for PGASD staff. BCC works closely with College Park Animal Control (CPAC) to ensure TNVR services are available in our neighboring community. The Maryland State Department of Agriculture grant that BCC received in October 2022 gives BCC the authority to spend some grant funds in the unincorporated parts of the 20740 Zip Code area. BCC partners with no-kill shelters and other rescue groups to provide foster care and adoptive placements when our network is at capacity. https://www.beltsvillecats.net/contact daily 0.75 2024-12-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63e7ee8b498bad7981b111f0/85ab7666-7ab0-4f22-a3b4-7063e6456faa/DSC01547.jpeg Contact - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.beltsvillecats.net/history daily 0.75 2023-03-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63e7ee8b498bad7981b111f0/276bc005-4efd-44f6-94c6-8c38cd8cfef6/IMG_2051.JPG History - BCC began operations In March of 2019 as a program of Laurel Cats, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that has been helping free-roaming cats in Laurel since 2014.
