The Buzz at BRAWA
Volunteers in Action
"Many hands make light work" is a saying that our volunteers use and
hear often at BRAWA. We could not do the things we do and get to places
we get to without our faithful volunteers. Our shelter is known as one of
the best within the state of Kentucky; other shelters come to us, see how
our shelter is built, and ask how we keep such a solid volunteer base.

New additions: Re-vamp for mothers and kittens and a flower dedication
We recently revamped our setup for cats and kittens and arranged a special space (formerly Critter
Corner) for mothers with nursing kittens. This space allows for visitors to view them through the
glass of the nursery window and watch their progress as they get strong enough for adoption while
also providing less stress on the momma and kittens. Our other revamp for cats and kittens that
are already up for adoption includes a move that reduces their already stressful stay at the shelter
by allowing them to be further from the dog area.
We also built a planter with flowers under our sign in
remembrance of those without a voice as we all continue to
use our voices to fight for the welfare of the animals of
Barren County and provide them with love, care, and furever
homes.We welcome you to stop by and check out these new
additions and visit the animals!

Celebrating 18 Years of Cheddar
Anyone who has frequented BRAWA probably knows
Cheddar! Cheddar came to us as a stray, young cat
and was given a birth date and approximate age. On
August 10, we will celebrate his 18th birthday. We
knew when he came that with his great personality,
Cheddar was the right man for the job. It's a hard one,
but someone has to do it. As the working house cat of
the shelter, he has charmed, provided great company,
and stolen the hearts of many for years now. He lives
out his retirement and enjoys catnapping, getting in
on some occasional pizza and donuts, and keeping
everyone in line. Join us in honoring Cheddar's life
and celebrating his 18th birthday!
