Branford Compassion Club
Who We Are
Who are the members of the Branford Compassion Club? Just
ordinary citizens with a desire to help make life a little bit nicer for those
animals forsaken by our society. We live in an age where everything is
considered "throw-away," including our pets. So many of the colony cats under
our care were once someone's beloved pet - for one reason or another, finding
itself out on the streets to fend for itself. We initially started out with the
idea of people networking together to help each other as we cared for our feral
colonies - providing daily feedings, shelter and medical attention - including
sterilization and vaccinations. Our efforts continue with this - and because of
it we have become a strongly recognized community service in our area - have
gained non-profit status - and we visit the local schools to teach the children
about responsible pet ownership and about life in the feral colonies. Even
though we work mostly with the feral colonies, we are not exclusive to cats - we
have helped place several dogs, a ferret, rabbits, and birds. If you were in the
vicinity of Wendy's on Alps Road in Branford, you would have witnessed two
members rescuing an injuried seagull! The bird was netted, placed in a carrier
and taken to a rehabilitator where the bird will heal and then be set free
again.
Adopting a friend
Please consider adopting a new friend. Colony cats and
kittens were, in many cases, abandoned animals. We ask for a donation to help
offset medical expenses incurred. All animals up for adoption have received
vaccinations, are spayed or neutered, treated for fleas and ear mites and tested
for feline AIDS and leukemia. To adopt, please call Mary at (203) 315-3795.
