Blind Cat Rescue & Sanctuary, Inc., about to celebrate its 20th anniversary, saves the lives of and provides a safe, healthy and loving forever home to cats who would be declared un-adoptable and immediately euthanized in high-kill animal control facilities because they are blind or test positive for FIV or feline leukemia. Without this sanctuary, they would have been euthanized. We continue to pursue our mission of educating the public about these cats and their ability to be loving family pets through our strong and ever-growing social media presence, 24-hour access cameras, regularly scheduled open houses, tours and volunteer opportunities. Using these tools, BCR’s global following continues to grow and its reach expand, demonstrating for people and other organizations about the true nature and abilities of blind, FIV- and feline leukemia-positive cats. Going beyond the shelter walls, BCR also works to alleviate the suffering and overpopulation of cats in feral populations through our ongoing spay and neuter program.

Founded in 2000 by Fr. Thuan and two friends based in San Francisco, CA, the Blind Vietnamese Children Foundation assisted The Lover of the Holy Cross Sisters who had just established Nhat Hong Thi Nghe Home for the Blind in Ho Chi Minh City (1995). Up to the present time with the Foundation’s support the Sisters expanded to nine homes and schools with a total of almost 400 students. The Foundation has also provided funding to maintain the homes, schools, and healthcare centers for visually impaired children administered by other lay or religious groups. The Foundation is governed by a volunteer board of directors and supported by hundreds of friends who give much of their time and wealth throughout the year to assist in BVCF fundraising efforts. Every year the Foundation organized the benefit luncheons or dinners with silent and live auctions, and raffles. A lively family atmosphere blends different cultures and faiths in a single effort to help our very special children live promising lives in Vietnam.
