Meet Blackjack
Blackjack is a 10-year-old cat living with FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus). He was originally trapped outdoors, but because of his FeLV status, he could not be returned to his colony. Instead, he has found comfort and safety in sanctuary life.
Blackjack adores the company of other cats and can often be found lounging peacefully beside his favorite feline friends. While he’s still very fearful of people and not ready for much direct interaction, he thrives in the presence of his cat companions and enjoys the calm of a predictable routine.
He is looking for a very special adopter—someone with experience, patience, and a quiet home who understands that trust takes time. Blackjack would do best in a home with another FeLV positive cat who could be his companion. With kindness and understanding, he could continue to blossom at his own pace while enjoying the comfort of a loving, safe environment.

More about this rescue
In the 1960s–1980s, feral cats began to form colonies in the vast, undeveloped areas of Kennedy Space Center in Brevard County, Florida. As the population grew, efforts were made to trap and remove the cats—most were euthanized. Despite years of this approach, the colonies remained.
Heartbroken by the ongoing loss of life, a group of Kennedy Space Center employees decided to take action. In 1998, they founded Space Coast Feline Network (SCFN) to stop the euthanasia's and create a humane, effective solution.
Drawing on proven methods from around the country, SCFN began rescuing kittens, providing care for adult ferals, and establishing a temporary sanctuary at KSC. In the first three years, over 100 cats and kittens were saved.
Space Coast Feline Network (SCFN) has grown into a county-wide effort dedicated to the care and protection of Brevard’s community cats. With the help of compassionate volunteers and valued partners like Alley Cat Allies and Brevard County Sheriff’s Animal Services, we proudly provide:
• Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR)
• Ongoing support for feral cat colonies
• Education and resources for community cat caregivers
Our mission is grounded in compassion, backed by science, and fueled by the belief that every cat deserves a chance. Together, we’re building a safer, more humane future for Brevard’s feral and abandoned cats.
In addition to our community programs, we operate a private sanctuary for displaced feral cats, including those who are FeLV+, disabled, or otherwise in need of a lifelong safe haven.
