Because of your love, support, and generosity, BCIC precious kittens are healing, growing, and thriving. Every single act of kindness has made a difference — and we couldn’t be more thankful.

**Cricket** had his recheck, and we’re thrilled to share that his diaphragmatic hernia surgery was a complete success! He also had blue laser therapy on his leg to help his wounds heal. He’ll be back next week for another session and some bloodwork.
**Xena** was so brave this week. She had her leg removed and was also spayed. She’s recovering like a little warrior and will be checked again in two weeks.
**DeeQue** had a fantastic recheck! Her head trauma has subsided, she received her vaccines, and she’s now scheduled for her spay surgery. This sweet girl is almost ready for her forever home or rescue placement!
Tiny **Opie** continues to amaze us — her little paws are healing beautifully, and she has a recheck next week. Such a fighter in such a tiny body!
Our beloved **“sewer kittens”** were recently fixed — and guess what? They were adopted! 🎉 Happy tails ahead!
Sweet **Champ** has also been fixed and is now being loved in a foster home.

We truly can’t thank you enough. Your kindness has given these babies a second chance at life — and we’re still in awe of what love can do.

If you'd like to help them continue their journey, we are still accepting donations for their upcoming appointments and care. Every bit helps. Donations can be made to Berks Cats in Crisis, PO Box 723, Reading PA 19607 or paypal.me/berkscatsincrisis.

From all of us — whiskers, paws, and hearts included — **thank you** for believing in them, and in us.
Together, we are creating miracles. 🐾

**URGENT**
**Please Help Cricket**
While showing homes to a client, a kind-hearted realtor noticed a cat slowly making his way through the tall grass toward her — struggling with each step, gasping for air. She immediately knew something was terribly wrong.

She rushed him to BluePearl Emergency Vet, where the devastating diagnosis came in: Cricket has a diaphragmatic hernia — a life-threatening condition where his organs had pushed into his chest cavity, crushing his lungs and leaving him unable to breathe. He was slowly suffocating.

Our hearts sank. He needed emergency surgery — the kind that costs thousands — and time was running out. We made calls, reached out to every contact we had, and thankfully, a miracle happened: Dr. Billman at Wyomissing Animal Hospital saw Cricket’s x-rays and immediately agreed to help.

Cricket had his surgery today. He made it through. He’s now back at BluePearl under 24-hour critical care as he stabilizes. He’s not out of the woods yet — but he’s here. He’s fighting. And we are doing everything we can for him.

But now, WE NEED YOU.
🏥 The costs for Cricket’s surgery and hospital stay was alot for our tiny rescue. On top of that, we have three kittens scheduled to be fixed and another cat needing a leg amputation in the next two weeks. 💔

Donations can be made to Berks Cats in Crisis, PO Box 723, Reading, PA 19607 or paypal.me/berkscatsincrisis.

We will not be taking in any more injured cats until we can pay for the ones already in our care.

✨ If you believe in kindness…
✨ If you believe every life matters…
✨ If you believe in second chances…

Please, donate what you can. Share Cricket’s story. Help us continue to be there for these kitties and ones who need us most — when no one else is.

From our hearts to yours — thank you for believing in rescue. ❤️ Thank you for helping Cricket!

P.s. Our hearts are overwhelmed with gratitude to all the vets, techs and staff who cared for Cricket the past 24 hours- Thank you! ❤️

This sweet little kitten was found with a severely injured tail. After being rushed to the vet, it was discovered that her tail had been degloved and was suffering from flystrike— a life-threatening condition. To save her life, Luna had to undergo surgery to amputate her tail.

Thanks to the incredible care from the vet and the kind soul who found her, Luna made it through surgery like a champ. She’s now on the road to recovery, learning how to love and be loved. ❤️

They named her Luna, a symbol of new beginnings and light in the darkness.

We need your help to cover the cost of Luna’s life-saving surgery and ongoing care. If you’re able to contribute, please consider donating:

🐾Kitten Update! 🐾

Our sweet kittens had their follow-up appointments this week, and we have a lot to share. 💕

✨ Opie(our 4-week-old tabby girl) did great at her check-up! Her front legs are still swollen with some sores and pus pockets in her wrists, so we’ve been advised to soak them in Epsom salt to help her heal. She’s eating like a champ and—drumroll—has started using the litter box! 🎉

✨ Zena, our brave 8 wk white and tabby kitten with the degloved chin, had her first surgery to connect her chin to her gums. She’s healing beautifully and will stay on meds to prevent infection. Sadly, her front leg is non-functional and will need to be amputated. Despite it all, she has become the biggest lovebug and rolls over for belly rubs! 💗 We would be so grateful for any donations to help with her upcoming surgery.

✨ And sweet little 8 wk tuxedo Dee Que, is still healing from head traumaand broken ribs. She continues to walk in circles, which the vet believes could be from her broken ribs. But something that really worries us—she doesn’t turn her head when we talk to her, even though she knows when someone enters the room. It may be reaction to her head trauma, time will tell. She just finished her meds and will go back for a recheck and vaccinations in a couple of weeks. The good news? She’s now eating on her own and using the litter box! 😀

We are incredibly grateful for the special care of Blue Pearl and the Vet on Main this past week. ❤️

We’re so proud of how far each of these babies has come, but they still have a long road ahead. If you’re able to donate toward their care and upcoming procedures, we would be incredibly thankful. Every dollar helps! Donations can be sent to Berks Cats in Crisis, PO Box 723, Reading PA 19607 or paypal.me/berkscatsincrisis.

Thank you for loving and supporting these little fighters. 💕

Our Sweet Chai Has Earned Her Wings

It’s with the heaviest of hearts that we share the news that our precious hospice foster cat, Chai, has passed away.

Chai was with us for 20 unforgettable months through our Hospice Angel Program, and in that time, she became so much more than a foster—she became family. This tiny girl had a way of lighting up every room she entered. She had the softest soul, the gentlest presence, and a heart that seemed to know nothing but love.

Chai didn’t just live with us—she *loved* with us. Every slow blink, every purr, every cuddle reminded us how deeply animals can connect when they're simply given a chance to feel safe.

We’re incredibly grateful we could give her a final chapter filled with comfort, dignity, and all the love she so richly deserved. Chai spent her last days wrapped in warmth, surrounded by people who adored her, and knowing—truly knowing—that she mattered.

To everyone who cheered her on, sent love, sponsored her care, or simply kept her in your heart—thank you. You were part of her journey, and she felt that love. We felt it too. 💕

Run free now, sweet Chai Chai. You were deeply loved, and you will always be missed.

Urgent Help Needed — Meet Dee Que

Yesterday, we got a heartbreaking call from the local emergency vet. A tiny 8-week-old kitten had been brought in from a nearby quarry after becoming trapped in heavy equipment. She arrived with severe head trauma, broken ribs, and painful abrasions.

The veterinary team worked quickly to stabilize her, placing her in an oxygen tank and keeping her overnight in intensive care. This morning, we were able to bring her into our program.

We’ve named her Dee Que, after the quarry she came from — and she is already showing signs of the fighter she is. While the trauma has caused her to circle to the right and she hasn’t yet eaten on her own, she is hungry and taking food through hand-feeding. She wants to live — and we want to give her that chance.

Please consider making a donation toward Dee Que’s medical care. Every contribution — no matter the size — will go directly to giving her the best possible chance at life and healing.

Donations can be made to Berks Cats in Crisis, PO Box 723, Reading PA 19607 or paypal.me/berkscatsincrisis.

Thank you for your compassion, your generosity, and your continued belief in the work we do. Dee Que’s life matters. Thank you to the employee who rushed her for treatment, Blue Pearl for their amazing care and YOU our supporters for allowing us to help this stray kitten! 🧡🐾

Opie Update 🐾❤️

It’s been 24 hours since little Opie came into our care, and what a tiny warrior she is! Despite both front legs being swollen and covered in open wounds from her injuries, this sweet 4-week-old girl isn’t letting anything slow her down.

She’s full of s***k, chatting up a storm and letting us know exactly what’s on her mind. Her personality is already shining through—so full of life and love. 🥰

Opie has been eating well, snuggling with her favorite warm “foxy,” and is on medications to help those little legs heal. We’re giving her all the love and care she deserves.

A huge thank you to our friends at Blue Pearl for their amazing care and to Pawsitive Hearts Pet Therapy and Rescue, Inc. for trusting us with this precious soul. 💙

Stay tuned for more updates on Opie’s journey—we’re already so in love! ❤️
