BCC Scores with 3rd Charity Bowling Tournament!

The third annual Alley Cats Charity Bowling Tournament at Papp's Bowling Center on Feb. 24 was a huge success, bringing in roughly $1,200 and a boatload of cat food donations to help Bordentown City Cats continue its mission of rescuing and caring for the city's stray and feral cat population.

Kelly Borkowski was the women's high game winner (236) and also took home the tournament trophy for highest series (576) overall.  Mike Spikofsky posted a 190 to win high game for the men.

Bordentown City Cats (BCC) is pleased to announce the 3^rd “Alley Cats” Charity Bowling Tournament to support the organization’s ongoing animal rescue and adoption efforts.  The event will be held on Sunday, Feb. 24, at 1 pm, at Papp’s Bowling Center, 244 Route 130 South, Bordentown.

The event will feature three games of bowling, pizza, beer, snacks, and prizes donated by many of Bordentown’s generous restaurants and shops.  Additionally, anyone who brings a cat food donation the day of the event will also receive a surprise.  

Registration is $20 and the deadline to register is February 16, 2013.  To register, please send a check made payable to "Bordentown City Cats," along with your name, address, telephone number and email address so we can confirm your registration.  If you wish to be placed on a lane with other registrants, please include their names as well.  Mail registration to:  P.O. Box 421, Bordentown, NJ, 08505.

The event is quintessential Bordentown, bringing out an eclectic mix of participants, from novice bowlers to our last tournament winner who threw a near-perfect game, but all have one thing in common – generosity and spirit.  It’s a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon for a good cause so we hope everyone will join us again this year.

Prior events have drawn more than 70 supporters and a dozen sponsors, produced a near-perfect game by the tournament winner and, most of all, raised much-needed dollars to support the rescue group’s ongoing efforts. 

            BCC has been carrying out its mission since 2003 - to rescue, foster, spay/neuter, find loving homes and care for Bordentown City’s stray and feral cat population.

West Side Story Needs a Happy Ending

"Westy" wandered onto the porch of a woman who lives on West St.  She is sweet and friendly as can be and likely had an owner, but no one has come forward to claim her.  She is now being fostered by the kind woman who found her and we are trying to find her a permanent family who she can shower her love on.  If you or someone you know is interested in adopting Westy, please contact us at: (E) btowncitycats@gmail.com or (P) 609-324-3896. 

ADOPTED! Another BCC Success Story...

UPDATE:  Josie girl has found a new forever home with a loving member of our community!

Josie was adopted from our organization several years ago, but sadly, someone in her home has developed severe allergies.  After trying many futile options, they have turned to us to try and find her a new home.  It breaks our heart, but at only three years old Josie has a long life ahead of her and can still find happiness with a new family.

She is a sweet girl who loves attention and will talk to you until you give it to her. She loves being a lap cat but is just as happy sitting on a windowsill watching the leaves fly by. As a kitten she was fostered with other cats and got along well with them. She has also adjusted to change well with having to move around for a few months due to apartment repairs.

If you or anyone you know is interested in adopting Josie, please contact us at (E) btowncitycats@gmail.com or (P) 609-324-3896.

ADOPTED! Another BCC Success Story...

UPDATE:  Sunny appears to have found the happy ending he was looking for in a loving, new forever home!

Sunny found his way to us when he started showing up at one of the feral cat colonies in town that we feed on a daily basis.  Our volunteers knew right away that he was not accustomed to the wild because of his friendly, affectionate nature.  Despite our best efforts, we have not been able to find out if Sunny has a family that is missing him so we are now searching for a family that would like to call him their own.   He is now neutered and fully up to date on shots and is currently adjusting to a stable environment with his new foster home.  He has been through quite a lot in recent months and would love to find a permanent, loving home to call his own.  If you or anyone you know is interested in adopting Sunny, please contact us at: (E) btowncitycats@gmail.com or (P0 609-324-3896. 

And They Lived Happily Ever After...

Ever wonder why we do what we do?  Well these recent letters from past adoptees say it all.  Check them out for yourself...

Phoenix

We adopted our kitten in June, 2011, and could not be happier with her.  She was a sickly little critter; her foster name was “Tiny.”  Phoenix is now a healthy, rambunctious, loving and clever little bugger and she has brought much happiness to our home.

Ronin

Here is a photo of Ronin who I adopted in April/May of 2011. He's doing great and has gotten so big. He's a joy to be around and so loveable. He even brings up the mail as if he's a puppy/dog. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience of adopting him.

Thank you,
Carmen R.

Angelo

Hi.  I adopted Angelo from you at the West Windsor/Princeton Petsmart when he was a few months old. He is now a grown-up boy, very handsome and smart.  He likes to play with little plastic monkeys that I got from a gumball machine in the mall.  He talks to them and puts them into the food and water bowls.  He's playful and mushy and clever; really an all-around awesome cat!
Best wishes in the new year,
Jennifer E.
