<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhat started as a grassroots effort to save a few cats quickly became more significant. New Destiny Dog Rescue recognized the potential of A Nutter Cat Rescue and offered to support them in becoming the official cat rescue of Bedford County. With their newfound status and growing network of volunteers, A Nutter Cat Rescue has saved over a hundred cats and kittens in just a few months, giving them the medical care and loving homes they deserve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Nutter Cat Rescue\u2019s reach extends far beyond Bedford County, thanks to the couple\u2019s musical past and the dedicated community of supporters.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy husband and I were musicians in our past life, so we have a following all over the U.S.,\u201d Nutter said. \u201cWe\u2019ve been able to leverage this network to find homes for cats, even as far away as Illinois, Michigan, and Minnesota.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a recent 501(c)(3) verification, A Nutter Cat Rescue is now on a mission to seek sponsors, funding, and apply for grants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy mission is to address the community cat problem,\u201d Nutter said. \u201cI want to create a trap-and-release program with incentives to encourage more involvement. We have to get them all fixed. That\u2019s what I aim to do.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n The issues they face are numerous, from countless sick cats to the heartbreaking cases of amputations and blindness due to untreated medical conditions. The problem in Bedford County, as in many places, is spiraling out of control. Nutter credits Cosmo\u2019s Kitten Rescue, Bedford County Animal Control, and Fluff for helping guide her and find resources as she started her nonprofit.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Blake Nutter\u2019s determination is inspiring and serves as a reminder of the need for community involvement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe problem is, the females are the ones that get pregnant, but the male cats are the ones spreading the issue. It\u2019s a vicious cycle, and we need to get it under control,\u201d Nutter emphasized. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The nonprofit is doing what it can with its limited resources, and they\u2019ve\u00a0had support from various individuals and organizations. One key supporter has been County Commissioner Anita Epperson, who has been instrumental in helping Blake Nutter connect with the right people to make a difference in Bedford County.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to support A Nutter Cat Rescue or get involved, please reach out to Blake Nutter, the passionate founder, and her team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n She said, \u201cTogether, we can work toward a future where cats in Bedford County no longer suffer from neglect and abandonment but find loving homes and a brighter future.\u201d GN <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" IN A quiet corner of Bedford County, a dedicated woman is on a mission to save the lives of cats, one feline at a time.
