Berks Cats in Crisis

03/19/2026

This afternoon, we received a heartbreaking call from our friends at Bernville Vet. Two cats had been hit by a car, and a kind person rushed them in for help. Tragically, one of the cats did not survive.

The other cat now named Tres by the finder’s daughter is still with us, and she needed our help.

Tres suffered severe injuries to her leg, and despite every effort, it could not be saved. She is currently receiving the care she needs: her wounds are being cleaned, her leg is being amputated, and she will be spayed, vaccinated, and given pain management and supportive care.

When we got the call, there was no question. We said YES. She needs us. And now, we’re asking for your help.

Her medical care is extensive, and the bill will be BIG but we believe our hearts are bigger than any obstacle. ❤️

Please consider making a donation to support Tres and her journey to recovery. Every single contribution, no matter the size, makes a difference. Donations can be made to Berks Cats in Crisis PO Box 723, Reading PA 19607 or paypal.me/berkscatsincrisis.

Thank you for helping us give Tres a second chance at life. 🐾

Sweet Rocky is settling into foster care and discovering just how wonderful life indoors can be. For the first time, he’s learning what it means to feel safe, warm, pampered, and truly loved. Watching this little wobbly kitten relax and trust is such a beautiful thing.

Next week, Rocky is scheduled to be neutered as part of preparing him for a healthy, happy future. We are still in need of sponsors to help cover the cost of his surgery. If you feel moved to help, please consider making a donation to support Rocky. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a meaningful difference in his little life. Donations can be sent to Berks Cats in Crisis, PO Box 723, Reading PA 19607.

Thank you for caring about our precious, wobbly boy and for being part of his journey. ❤️

When we saw footage of a kitten limping, we knew we had to act quickly. With compassion and determination, the finder safely trapped him so we could get him the medical attention he deserved.

We’re so relieved to share that X-rays showed no fractures or breaks. This brave boy has been named Rocky for his incredible strength and determination to keep fighting. His combo test was negative, and he received his vaccines along with flea and ear mite treatment.

The reason for his wobbly movement appears to be neurological. Rocky will likely always have “the wobbles.” But please don’t think for a second that this slows him down or dims his spirit. ❤️ He is the sweetest boy purring nonstop, soaking up affection, and just grateful to be safe and loved.

Rocky is scheduled to be neutered next week as we continue giving him the care he deserves.

Rocky’s journey is just beginning. If you would like to help with his medical care, donations are appreciated and can be made to Berks Cats in Crisis, PO Box 723, Reading, PA 19607 or paypal.me/berkscatsincrisis. Thank you for helping us give this special boy the loving future he deserves. 🐾

Nacho update!
What a difference a week can make. After being hit by a car and treatment from his initial emergency appointment, Nacho has shown incredible progress. He’s now sitting upright, holding his head up, and walking using ALL four paws!

When he first arrived, he was so frightened. Now, he’s calm, easy to pick up, and happily sits in our laps soaking up attention. 💕

At his follow-up exam, Nacho was found to have a grade 2 heart murmur and has been started on supplements. Aside from that, he has made a full recovery from the trauma he endured. He was able to receive his vaccines and is scheduled for neuter next week. Since he is cryptorchid, he will need an additional surgical procedure during his neuter.

We are so very grateful to everyone who donated toward his care and shared his posts. Your support truly made this recovery possible.

Nacho is an incredible kitty and will make an amazing addition to a family one day. We appreciate you all more than words can say. More Nacho updates coming soon!

Fluffy has been through a lot. When he first was found, he was unable to bear weight on his injured leg. Thanks to weeks of strict cage rest, we’re happy to share that the break is showing encouraging improvement. With a few more weeks of rest, we’ll be able to see whether his leg can fully heal on its own.

While he continues to heal, Fluffy is being showered with love by his wonderful foster family, who are making sure he stays comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Your generosity has played a huge role in giving Fluffy the time and support he needs to recover. Thank you to everyone who donated toward his care we truly couldn’t do this without you.

Today, we received the sweetest Valentine’s card, that honestly made our day.

Little moments like this mean so much to us. They remind us why we do this work and that people truly care about these injured cats and their journeys as much as we do. That love and encouragement keeps us going, even on the tough days.

To our Valentine (and to everyone who supports us) thank you for thinking of us and for loving these cats right along with us. It means more than we can say. Thank you! ❤️

I am running on fumes.

Thursday night we were up all night with the emergency vets, making hard decisions for Nacho’s care, before I was finally able to pick him up at 5 a.m. Friday night brought more calls including two cats with broken legs and one with a facial injury. My heart was so heavy worrying about them and getting them the care they needed.

Then this message came through. A "Smiley" update.

Seriously… tears fell from my eyes. All the effort, the worry, the sleepless nights, and the hope I pour into these cats—this is the reason. To see them like Smiley… healed, happy, and loved. ❤️

I couldn’t do this without all of you. Every post, every plea, every share, our BCIC FB friends are always there, making the care we provide possible. That picture of Smiley was the reminder I needed... keep fighting.

We have more cats who need us. February is here, let them feel the love. 💕 🐾 Donations can be made to Berks Cats in Crisis, PO Box 723, Reading, PA 19607 or paypal.me/berkscatsincrisis. As always, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support. And thank you for sending updates on the cats we help. The timing on Smileys update was purrfect! ❤️
