HomeOn December 8, 2008, the Friends of Bastrop County Animal Shelter (Friends of BCAS) presented a symbolic check to Betty Wade, Director of the Bastrop County Animal Shelter, for $2,514, which represents gifts to enhance the shelter’s reception area and equipment for veterinarians’ use. This was the first gift of its kind given on behalf of Friends of BCAS. Since its inception in July 2008, the Friends group has raised several thousand dollars for shelter support through raffles, donations, and 2009 “Adoption Stories” calendar sales.
Friends of BCAS has set aside an account to fund the construction of a cattery addition to the existing shelter. With the addition, the shelter can house 50% more impounded cats and provide them with an environment favorable to their health and well-being. Not only will more cats be available for adoption, they will live in an enriched environment before they find their “forever” home.
