We were delighted to receive this request a few weeks ago: Hello my friends, I humbly request for your assistance. It’s been a long and hard war in our barn, while we have technology, they have the numbers. We have already lost so much… horse and chicken rations, a saddle, and the destruction! Oh the […]

By Launa Johnson If you are seeing unowned cats in your neighborhood, please get them fixed before more kittens are born this year.  Shelters and rescues are inundated with kittens this time of year. Bastrop C.A.T.S. are working hard to help as many people TNR as possible, but the kittens keep coming in!  We are […]

by Eileen Haag Inevitably we get calls or emails every year, with a “I just trapped this cat. Can you come pick it up?”  Pick it up and put it where?!   We are not a shelter, and we work out of our homes just like you.  One of the biggest mistakes newbies make when trapping […]

By Launa Johnson We are fully in kitten season now! While our focus is in Trap Neuter Return (and vaccinating), we often receive requests for assistance with sick and/or underage kittens that are found in the community. We can only help these tiny, helpless kittens with the help of kind community members who open their […]

The kitten appeared to have trouble walking, and so “Sam” reached out to us.  Bastrop C.A.T.S.  was able to take the newly named kitten, “Drewberry,” into the vet where x-rays […]

Juried Family Foundation […]

In late November, one of our partner vets reached out to us about a sweet adolescent kitty that had been brought in by some folks that found him injured on the streets of Bastrop.  His rear leg was broken badly and at an awkward angle. The kind finders were unable to afford the medical care […]

All of your donations will be matched […]

by Eileen Haag Bastrop C.A.T.S. targets sterilizing as many cats as possible during the winter.  Why do we spend this time huddling outside in the cold, waiting for traps to be sprung instead of at home with our families, under cozy blankets, celebrating the holidays? Because kitten season starts in early spring! And if we […]
