Someone actually dumped BK outside the Shelter's door almost five years ago.  He was loose and it's very lucky BK wasn't killed on the highway.  It was meant to be....  BK was meant to represent the Shelter, and he loves doing it.  It was a terribly wet, cold, rainy night when BK was abandoned.  BK was in terrible condition when he arrived, with severe stomach problems.  His fur was in desperate need of grooming.  CCHS worked to get BK all fixed up, and he went from 12# to 30#.  BK is a Big Kitty!  Unfortunately, BK had some medical problems.  He started feeling sick and it was discovered that BK suffers from"mega colon", which is common in large cats like BK.  It hurt an awful lot for BK, and he needed to have surgery to correct this condition immediately.  Without the surgery, BK would have died, and we just couldn'tt let that happen.  All of the volunteers and visitors love BK, and he loves each of them. 

 

Being a no-kill Shelter, we have often held fundraisers to help homeless pets get the expensive surgery they need.  But this case was even more devastating.  BK is an incredible mascot for CCHS.  He has an exceptional personality, purrs non-stop, and is very talkative with all visitors.  BK watches over each of the homeless guests at the Shelter.  The surgery BK needed was very expensive, over $1800.  We worked very hard to raise enough money to save BK.  Special fundraisers were held, and we put the word out through our website.  We received donations from all over the country, and BK was able to get the surgery he needed.  Giving up on him after all he's done for us was not an option.
