Help Us Expand Our Mission and Provide Shelter for Homeless Cats

To continue our vital work in rescuing and housing homeless felines, we rely on the support of our community. This summer, we are continuing to raise funds to finish Annie's Cattery, allowing us to provide permanent housing for more cats in need—those with nowhere else to go.

Our monthly expenses for food and housing amount to $1,500+, excluding medical treatments and veterinary care. Every contribution, big or small, helps us sustain and expand our efforts.

We invite you to donate, share our mission, and spread the word—whether on social media or within your community, among friends and family. Your support helps strengthen our ability to care for more cats and ensure their well-being.

For donation options, please visit our Fundraising and Payment tab.

We deeply appreciate your generosity and look forward to growing our impact together.

Welcome to Blueberry Heaven Sanctuary

Blueberry Heaven Sanctuary is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting local community cats and their caretakers. Located on a private ranch in the Lake Pickett area of Orlando, FL, the sanctuary provides a safe and nurturing environment for over 85 felines, ranging from 8 months to 18 years old, including many with special needs—such as a blind tortie, senior cats, and several FIV-positive residents.

Our senior and special needs cats reside indoors, enjoying a spacious sunroom, a screened porch, and designated rooms designed to keep them active and engaged. Meanwhile, Annie's Cattery ensures the safety and comfort of our indoor colony.

Currently, we are completing renovations on Annie’s Cattery, a permanent indoor sanctuary for former feral, non-adoptable, or unsocialized cats who need a secure and peaceful home. With ongoing fundraising and community support, we plan to expand Annie’s Cattery next year, to include a 600 sq. ft. garden/catio, offering residents a stimulating space where they can observe wildlife—including squirrels, birds, and our rescued ducks and chickens—while enjoying a natural, stress-free environment.

The daily rhythm at BHS is one of quiet dedication, where each rescue finds solace, care, and companionship. We are profoundly grateful to our rescue partners and the generous cat lovers of Central Florida and beyond who continue to support our mission—even while managing their own rescues and feeding countless community cats in our area.

To help us continue providing for these deserving felines, we invite new donors to explore our Amazon and Chewy wish lists and consider contributing to our efforts. Every donation makes a difference in ensuring the well-being of our residents and expanding our ability to serve more cats in need.

Honoring Pinkey and Our Fallen Feline Family

On December 18, 2023, we said goodbye to Pinkey, our beloved 16-year-old resident, who passed away from heart failure. His final days were marked by blindness and paralysis, but his spirit never wavered—his love for life, for us, and for his fellow companions remained as strong as ever.

Tragically, this was not our only loss. On Valentine’s Day, our hearts shattered again with the passing of Milo, our sweet 5-month-old kitten, to FIP. The emotional toll was immense, but so was the financial strain—our veterinary expenses surged, leaving us struggling to cover the costs of care.

In Fall of 2024, we endured more heartbreaking farewells. Peeta, who fought bravely against brain cancer, and Princess, who battled kidney failure and dementia, both left us too soon. And as we mourned the passing of our family members, Pippin, one of our cherished residents, faced a medical emergency—hospitalized due to a severe urinary blockage, further adding to our mounting bills.

Our veterinary expenses by end of 2024 exceeded $3,400, and with ongoing care needs, we are working tirelessly to catch up as we prepare for this year's medical expenses. We need your help.

Please consider making a donation through our GoFundMe or any of the other PAYMENT links listed on our page. Your generosity will allow us to continue providing lifesaving care, honoring the memory of those we’ve lost, and ensuring our current residents receive the support they deserve.

Every contribution—big or small—makes a difference. Thank you for standing with us in love and compassion.
