Join Our Squad: Support Rescue Cats in Bangalore
We are a volunteer-powered cloud shelter. Whether you can open your home as a foster, help with rescue transport, or donate to medical bills, every bit of support helps us save more lives.
You've heard of Spotify Wrapped, now get ready for our #BCSWrapped2023. We are proud to share the numbers that defined our year: over 1000 cats rescued and hundreds fostered, rehomed, and treated. We couldn't do it without you.
We need you so we can keep rescuing kittens. A successful rescue is powered by support, no matter how small or big it is. Your donation directly funds medical care, food, and supplies for cats in desperate need.
This is Andy, our tripod, and just one of the many special needs cats we rescue every year. Your donation, no matter the size, can change the life of a sick or abandoned cat. Please consider helping us help them.
This is Beauregard, a ginger kitten recovering from multiple hind leg fractures. The cost of surgeries and post-operative care is significant. We rely on your financial contributions to give cats like him a chance to heal.

Our lovely calico, Bambi, is getting ready for the kitty adoption camp. She loves watching television and playing endlessly. We hope she finds her perfect match and a family to entertain.
A little sunbathing session before the big adoption camp on Sunday. This little one is being supervised by a vigilant foster sibling. Preparing our kittens for adoption is a team effort.
After a long week of rescues, our foster kittens are hunkering down for some naps and cuddles. This is a peaceful moment in a foster home, where cats can feel safe and loved while they wait for their forever family.
About Join Our Squad
We are not a shelter with cages, so our cats crash in foster homes while they wait for their forever families. Whether you have a spare room for a week or can help with transport, fostering is the single biggest way you can help us save lives in Bangalore right now.
How We Operate
We run on a 'cloud shelter' model. This means we have zero physical kennels. Every cat you see in our galleries is currently living in a real home with one of our volunteers. When you join our squad, you are directly helping us bypass the stress of a cage environment, which allows sick or injured cats to heal faster and become socialized for their eventual adoption.
Become a Foster
Fostering is our heartbeat. If you have an indoor space and a bit of patience, you can foster. We cover all veterinary costs, provide the supplies, and guide you through the process of introducing a cat to a home environment. You don't need to be an expert; you just need to be willing to give a cat a safe place to land.
Support Our Medical Fund
Rescue is expensive. From critical neonatal care for kittens to surgeries for accident victims, your donations are the only reason we can say 'yes' to a rescue call. Even a small contribution helps us cover:
- Emergency diagnostics and blood work.
- Life-saving surgeries and post-op care.
- Kitten milk replacers and specialized recovery food.
Other Ways to Help
If you cannot foster or donate, you can still be part of the squad. We are always looking for volunteers to help with:
- Transport: Moving cats to and from vet clinics.
- Adoption Camps: Helping manage events where we introduce cats to potential families.
- Awareness: Sharing our stories. Every post you share helps us reach the one person who might have a spot in their home for a rescue cat.
Cat Squad
We’re a bunch of cat lovers running on chai and commitment. There is no central shelter building, so our rescue network is basically just us and our volunteers coordinating on WhatsApp to keep these cats safe.
