Donate!
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 work hard to find homes for all of the animals in 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
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 this is a breakdown of what BHS needs every month (as of April 2024) in order to keep everyone fed and cared for:
Canned - usually Friskies Canned (pate and some shredded)
12 cans/day x 30 days – 360 cans/month
$285
Fancy Feast Primavera
60 cans/month
$165
Kibbles - usually Purina One Sensitive Skin and Stomach
4 bags @ 22 lbs/each
$180
FortiFlora Probiotics
1 box @ $35
Pine Pellets
10 bags @ $7/each
$70
TOTAL: $735.00/month
If veterinary emergencies arise - which happen more frequently than you'd think - it adds to the cost by hundreds or even thousands.
Your support, especially monthly support, is extremely important for us to keep going and keep our doors open.
For example:
10 monthly donors at $73/month would cover our expenses
20 monthly donors at 37/month would cover our expenses
30 monthly donors at $25/month would cover our expenses
40 monthly donors at $19/month would cover our expenses
50 monthly donors at $15/month would cover our expenses
Please consider becoming a monthly donor and become part of this worthwhile community project as you join us on our journey🐱
Thank you!
A big thank you to our generous donors who have stepped up this year to help us fundraise and keep us going!
This is an ongoing fundraiser on Chewy, GoFundme and in the community at large and we are so grateful at the show of support that we want to officially thank them here - and let's face it, we also want to brag a little about the love being sent our way 🥰

GOFUNDME "Milo" Link:
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...an ongoing GoFundMe in his honor has started to help us replenish our veterinary bills fund so we can continue paying for veterinary care of our 27 felines at our sanctuary.
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.
Stay tuned!
🐱FUNDRAISER🐱
Our day-to-day expenses include food, litter and veterinary care. But our Spring 2024 biggest goal is to build a small cottage for our older, special needs, unadoptable community cats, who usually come to our sanctuary from dire situations as their home in the park or apartment complex parking lot no longer is safe. Our volunteers who feed them contact BHS and ask to move them, and we don't have the heart to say no. But we do need more space to say yes!
So, we're asking the community to chip in and help us reach our goal to build the 1200 sq ft cottage, including a loft, and a super-sized "catio" (additional 800 sq ft), an enclosure where cats can roam safely outside, bask in the sun and get fresh air without the threat of anyone harming them ever again.
The cottage will have a separate room, with separate entrance, specifically to house FeLV cats, who are generally more difficult to adopt, but who nonetheless deserve a safe place where they can live out their lives in comfort.
Our goal: $15,000
This will include the purchase and assembly, which is our largest expense yet, and a big undertaking. We are fortunate that several people have volunteered their time and skills to help us build the cottage and enclosure as soon as we have the funds and make the purchase of all the material.
Please chip in any amount, however small, it will go a long way to helping us reach our goal. Even by donating litter and food, you are helping us reach our goal because that frees up financial donations from being spent on every day needs at the sanctuary.

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.
