HomeUPDATE: Troy Walters, Shelter Director, writes: “I would like to extend a very special “Thank You” to the Friends of BCAS for their kind purchase of cat condos. The BCC (Bastrop Cat Condo) project held its first open house. Cats from all over the county turned out for the big event.

The SCC (Shelter Critter Cam) caught Thirteen and Eugene checking out the latest in creature comforts. Both felines unanimously made a selection and purchased a one bedroom unit (they heard that the best units go fast). Both felines have filed for their First Time Home Buyers $8,000 tax credit.”
ORIGINAL POST: The Friends of Bastrop County Animal Shelter would like to extend its appreciation to local businesses and the community at large for making the fundraiser of its cookbook – Recipes You’ll Beg For – a huge success. Special thanks go to Fat Cat Catering, Best Lil’ Hairhouse in Texas, Salon 1018, The Book Basket, Elbows Fitness and Crossroads Animal Hospital for their top sales. Were it not for the support of the people of Bastrop County, Friends would not have been able to donate in-kind gifts to the shelter totaling well over a $1,000, including a new dryer, pet toys, cat condos, and more. And, Friends has over $2,500 in reserve to help the shelter fund some renovations that should be in place by early spring of next year.
Friends also wants to thank Chili’s Grill & Bar for giving us the opportunity to raise $200 through its “Pepper in Some Fun” fundraiser held during the month of September. According to Sara Axton, Friends Chair-Elect, “The Chili’s event was a great success and we hope to work with Chili’s again in the near future.”
Friends has also been holding regular bake sales at the main branch of First National Bank in Bastrop over the last several months. These bake sales have generated more revenue than we could have imagined! Given their success, and the support of First National Bank, we anticipate having more in the coming year.
Thank you, Bastrop County residents and businesses! Friends wishes all of you a successful and happy new year and we eagerly look forward to another year of supporting the Bastrop County Animal Shelter.
Sherri Deleon, Chair
Sara Axton, Chair Elect
