FREE SERVICES FOR COMMUNITY CATS IN PATRICK COUNTY.
For cats born outdoors, the outside world is not something to escape, it is home.
Research shows that community cats in managed colonies are often just as healthy as indoor pets. Once they are fixed, everything improves, less roaming, less fighting, better overall health, and colonies naturally stabilize over time.
Are you feeding outside cats and need help preventing unwanted litters of kittens?
BRAWL is the recipient of a grant from United Spay Alliance to offer free spay/neuter services to community cats in Patrick County. Cats selected for this program will receive a spay/neuter surgery, rabies vaccination, ear-tip, and a one-month flea treatment at no cost to the caretaker. If you are interested in this service, please complete the spay/neuter inquiry form by clicking here and someone will contact you. Note: you must be willing to bring the cat in a trap or carrier to Rotary Field in Stuart on the designated surgery day.
We want to provide Kongs to entertain the dogs
in the kennels while they wait for a forever home.
We fill them with smooth Peanut Butter. If you would like to donate Peanut Butter for the dogs it should be smooth not chunky,
and must not contain Xylitol as that is toxic for dogs, the brand does not matter. Click here for more info on how to donate.

Notes: Halo is a 2 year old Lab/Shepherd mix who has been at the shelter the longest of any dog there. She was surrendered with her sister Harper in July when her owner lost her home, and has been patiently waiting for a happy restart. Her sister has found a forever home and we are hoping October will be kind to Halo and bless her with one too. If you are interested, please visit the Patrick County Public Animal Shelter or call 276-694-6259. Because she is not yet spayed, adopters must reside in Patrick, Floyd, Henry, Carroll, or Franklin County, VA per state code.
