Every year, millions of animals end up in shelters because they are lost, abandoned, or unwanted. At Blueberry Heaven Sanctuary, we believe that every animal deserves a loving home. That's why we have made it our mission to provide permanent sanctuary to special needs, geriatric and otherwise unwanted cats in our community, as well as work hard to find homes for the orphaned kittens that come into our care.
Your donation will help us to:
Provide food, shelter, and medical care for homeless animals
Socialize adoptable animals and find them loving forever homes
Support TNVR programs and community cat feeders
Support our mission to provide permanent sanctuary to our residents

GOFUND DRIVE
This past year has been particularly harsh, as we have lost several of our beloved residents, including 16 yr old Pinkey, 5-month-old Milo, 2-year-old special needs hen Gladys, 10-day old Felicity and Patches, 4-week-old Feivel, and most recently 9-year-old Peeta who developed brain cancer and crossed the Rainbow Bridge on September 5th.
Losing our beloved residents is heartbreaking, and sadly, also often means our funds become severely depleted, forcing us to reach out to the general public for support in our continued mission.
If you are not comfortable making a monetary contribution, please consider sending something from our Chewy and Amazon wish list, as that too is a great help, allowing us to divert resources from our food fund to cover our mounting veterinary bills.
Just yesterday, our 8 year old tuxedo, Pippin, was rushed to the ER with urinary blockage. He's stable now, but will require extensive surgery to bring back his quality of life, and we know he has many more years to share with us, so any other option besides surgery is not considered. His surgery, and current hospitalization, will top $4500.00, putting quite a dent into our budget for the rest of the year, and that is assuming no other major emergencies befall us.

Fundraising for veterinary services
Gracie was born with underdeveloped eyes and will need surgery to have them removed - she is severely visually impaired but that does not stop this lovely lady from playing with her kitten friends and being a "normal" kitty, growing and happy. Her surgery, along with two other residents' veterinary bills will likely top $4,500, and we are raising funds to keep us going and provide the care they need.
Gracie is a permanent resident at BHS and not available for adoption, however, our remaining kittens are ready for their forever home, they're spayed/neutered, vaccinated and micro chipped.
Monthly Expenses
While veterinary expenses can add up quickly and become costly, they are not constant - but food, litter and supplies are a monthly expense, and we go through roughly
500+ cans of Friskies wet food (mostly pate)
70 - 80 lbs of kibbles (primarily Purina One Sensitive Skin)
14 bags of pine pellets
320 lbs (!!) of sand litter
All of this, and more, helps keep everyone fed and cared for

This is Milo when he arrived at BHS - today he's a big, rambunctious "teenager" who's quickly establishing himself as the Alpha among his kitten peers, Merry and Willow.
Updated: Milo sadly passed away very suddenly of FIP on Valentine's day - he was only 5 months old...if you'd like to make a donation in his memory, please write that in the memo line of your Zelle/Check/PayPal donation :)
PS - Milo did not undergo treatment for FIP prior to his passing, it is a disease that can come on very suddenly and we were not even able to confirm his condition until the very end of his life.
While we believe in making every effort to treat illness and make our residents' quality of life as high as possible, central to our mission is also to ensure their long-term wellbeing and to always do right by those in our care, and sometimes that heartbreakingly includes humane euthanasia. The veterinary costs associated with Milo, and several other felines in our care, had accumulated since late 2023, and that is what the fundraiser is focused on.
Please consider making a donation, monetary or in kind (food/litter) in his honor.
Thank you!
Our Vision
While still in the early stages of planning and development, this is the vision we have for our new cattery and with our ongoing fundraising efforts, we are aiming for a late Spring breaking ground. The cottage will also be enclosed by a very large catio, ensuring the safety of the cats enjoying the outdoors.
Project planned to begin this winter.
Stay tuned!

Penny's Quilt
This beautiful, hand-made, one-of-a-kind quilt was made and donated to us by Polly, one of our board members. Polly makes quilts as a hobby, although we would call it art! 🥰
This Christmas quilt, measuring about 5 x 4 ft, is an excellent, unique gift for someone in your life who appreciates details, craftmanship and quality. Give it as a Christmas gift or keep it for yourself to decorate for the holidays.
Asking price:
$75.00
100% of the proceeds will go towards our $10,000.00 goal needed to build the small "cat cottage", including a wrap-around "catio", allowing our resident cats who currently live in our 2-car garage, their own cat house to venture safely outdoors and enjoy the sun and the wind, and the lovely view of our horses, ducks and chickens.
