Ten Years of Bangalore Cat Squad: Our Impact
We aren't a shelter with cages, we are a city-wide foster network. Here is a look at the milestones, the faces, and the collective effort behind our decade-long mission to save cats across Bengaluru.
BCS Turns 10! A look back at a decade of rescues, fosters, adoptions, and building a community dedicated to cat welfare in Bangalore. We are proud of the thousands of lives we've changed together.
13K Strong! We are so grateful that our community has grown to 13,000 followers. This milestone isn't just about numbers; it's about the collective love and support for Indian cat adoption and welfare.

Our #BCSWrapped2023! In the past year, we've fostered over 60 cats, found homes for over 60, rehomed 70+ abandoned cats, rescued over 1000, and TNRed over 500. This is the impact of our community.

MEOW! We need you so we can keep rescuing kittens. A successful rescue is powered by support, no matter how small or big. This is our call for donations to help us continue our mission.

About Our Community & Impact
Our impact isn't just about the thousand rescues or the five hundred TNR surgeries we’ve completed; it is about the network of real people who make it all possible. Every photo here represents a moment where a volunteer stepped up, a foster opened their home to a scared kitten, or a donor helped us clear a vet bill. We operate as a community, and these milestones belong to everyone who has ever shared a post or opened their door to a rescue.
How We Operate
We run on a cloud-based model, which means our cats live in homes, not kennels. This is why our community is the backbone of everything we do. From the engineers and doctors who foster, to the transporters and donors who fund emergency medical care, every person plays a vital role.
A Decade of Change
Over the last ten years, our focus has been simple: reduce the number of cats living on the street and find loving families for those who need it.
- Rescues: Over 1000 cats pulled from dangerous situations.
- TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return): More than 500 surgeries to stabilize street populations.
- Rehoming: Over 60 kittens and adults rehomed to permanent families annually.
Why Community Matters
Animal rescue in Bengaluru is emotionally and physically demanding. We see the tough stuff—from FPV cases to kittens found in garbage dumps—but we also see the miracles. By staying connected via our foster network, we ensure no volunteer is ever left to figure things out alone. We celebrate every success, whether it is a kitten finally snoozing in a forever home or a successful adoption drive at a local venue. If you want to be part of a group that turns compassion into action, you are in the right place.
Cat Squad
We are a wild mix of feeders, rescuers, and cat lovers who just couldn't walk past a hungry street cat. We don't have a physical shelter, so we rely on our incredible network of foster paw-rents to give these cats a real home environment while they wait for their forever families.
