My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Bindi is a very friendly, social and snuggly girl. She’s named after Bindi Irwin because of the way she had to be rescued, in honor of all that Bindi Irwin (and the Irwin family legacy) does for animal rescue and conservation. Bindi will steal your heart when she asks for pets and attention.

Favorite place to sleep: in a pile with other kittens, on fleece blankets, on your lap
Favorite toys: ping pong balls, catnip toys, dangle or stick toys, other kitties
Favorite hobbies: playing with other kitties, getting attention from you, chasing ping pong balls, being adorable

HOW I CAME TO PGSPCA

Bindi was found thrown away in a dumpster. Thankfully a Good Samaritan was walking by, heard her crying for help, and climbed up to get her out. After pulling a then barely 4 week old kitten out of the dumpster, the Good Samaritan brought her to us for help.

DREAM HOME

Bindi would do best in a home with other kitties to play and interact with (maybe even with her foster sister Penelope!) as well as with people who will give her lots of love and attention.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

All of our adoptions begin with a visit to one of our adoption events. The adoption coordinator and/or the pet's foster parent will review the applications received. The applicant (if any) whose responses best fit the needs of the particular pet will generally be contacted within a week to schedule a home visit. A vet check and personal reference is also required prior to visiting your home. Our non-refundable adoption fee is $250 for dogs, $85 for kittens ($150 for a pair of kittens), and $75 for an adult cat. The fee covers spay/neuter, core vaccines (distemper and rabies), deworming, microchipping, and the general care of the animals. Per our contract, if you cannot keep your adopted pet for any reason, it must be returned to our program. We will try to find it a new home.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

We don't have a central shelter facility, so the best place to meet our adoptable cats and dogs is at our adoption shows! If you have previously filled out an application, please bring it with you to the show! Please e-mail with any questions. We cannot guarantee that an animal you want to meet will be at the show. Please check www.pgspca.org -> adopt -> adoption_show_attendees the day before the show and we will do our best to let you know if he/she will be there!

We hold two adoption events each month, on Saturdays from 12 noon to 2 pm.

More about this rescue

The PGSPCA is a nonprofit organization of volunteers dedicated to animal welfare. We are chartered by the State of Maryland, but we receive no state or county funds. Our activities are supported solely by contributions, dues and fundraising events.

We have three main objectives:

• To reduce the number of unwanted litters of dogs and cats through our progressive spay/neuter program – We have altered more than 20,000 animals over the past five years, many of them at no charge;

• To prevent cruelty to animals and all animal suffering through humane education, neglect and cruelty investigations, protective legal action, and an active dog and cat adoption program – We receive about 1,000 calls a month for cruelty investigations, spay and neuter assistance and adoption requests;

• To protect all animals against suffering and abuse through education on legislation affecting the protection of all animals – We regularly educate the public and provide testimony about animal welfare to county and state legislators.
