Who We Are
Bailey's Human Rescue, Incorporated (BHR) is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Harnett County, North Carolina. We began our work in Johnston County, where we proudly established the first Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR) program for community cats in the area. Today, we focus exclusively on helping stray and feral cats through TNVR and public education, serving communities across Harnett, Johnston, and Wake Counties. Our mission is to reduce the number of cats who suffer or are euthanized simply because they exist. With continued support, BHR hopes to expand our efforts across North Carolina, ensuring more communities have access to humane cat population control and the tools they need to care for their community cats.
What We Believe
Bailey’s Human Rescue was founded on the belief that humans are responsible for the cat overpopulation crisis. We domesticated cats, and we’ve allowed their numbers to grow through neglect and inaction. When unspayed cats have kittens, it isn’t an accident — it’s the natural outcome of a problem we haven’t solved.
These animals didn’t choose this life. We did. And now, it’s on us to make things right. Spay/neuter and TNVR are proven solutions — but they only work if people choose to act. Together, we can reduce suffering and build a more compassionate future.

One Animal at a Time
Our Vision
We envision a future where TNVR is the standard approach to managing community cat populations, and where spay/neuter is widely embraced as a compassionate, essential practice. Our goal is a world where every community takes responsibility for its cats, reducing suffering and eliminating the need for euthanasia through education and access to care.
Our Mission
Bailey’s Human Rescue is committed to reducing community cat overpopulation, euthanasia, and suffering by promoting spay/neuter through Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR) and educating communities across North Carolina. Through outreach, resources, and advocacy, we empower individuals to take an active role in creating a more humane future for community cats.
