Community cats are part of the neighborhoods they call home.
The Birth Control Brigade (BCB) is the Bitty Kitty Brigade's community-cat program. We're a resource for the people already doing this work — helping you trap, care for, and stabilize the cats in your neighborhood.
This form is not for emergencies. If an animal is in immediate danger, contact your local animal control or an emergency vet hospital.
Our mission
The Bitty Kitty Brigade (BKB) believes community cats belong in the neighborhoods they call home, and that the most humane, effective way to manage their numbers is to stabilize them — not remove them. Our community-cat program, the Birth Control Brigade (BCB), supports the caretakers, neighbors, and community members who are already showing up for these cats.
We're a resource, not a rescue. We offer guidance, loaner equipment, subsidized vet connections, and coordination to help the people closest to these cats do the work effectively — and when a situation calls for it, we can sometimes offer more hands-on support too. Either way, our goal is to build the knowledge and capacity that keeps cats cared for long after we're involved.
We measure success not by how many requests we accept, but by the lasting impact of the work: healthier cats, fewer preventable litters, stabilized colonies, and stronger communities that recognize and support the cats living alongside them.
