My story

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

Hello, I`m the handsome boy they call Nyx. I`m a bit nervous here at the shelter so I`m still coming out of my shell as I get used to the loud noises and new people. You may have to be patient while I warm up to you...treats will help do the trick though! It was reported I lived with children in my prior home and did well with them. As long as you respect my boundaries, I`ll respect yours! Just go slow with me, I promise I love pets and cheek rubs just as much as the other kitties here.

Interested in adopting me? We recommend submitting a general online adoption application and then heading to the shelter during our normal adoption hours (Mon: 12-4pm and Tues-Sun: 12-5pm) to meet our available animals. Please note: all applications are considered general until the animal has been met. If you have any questions, please contact animalcenter@bmorehumane.org or 410-833-8848 Ext/Opt 2.

More about this shelter

The Humane Society of Baltimore County, now known as the Baltimore Humane Society (BHS), was founded in 1927 by a pioneering and compassionate socialite named Elsie Seeger Barton (1886-1983).

In 1902, at age 16, Miss Seeger was stricken with rheumatic fever and was confined to her bed. During that time, her constant companions were the family’s beloved pets. It was at that time that Ms. Seeger resolved to devote her life to the care and humane treatment of companion and service animals. When she became well, she established a refuge for abused and homeless animals on her family’s estate, known as “Thistle Top” on Milford Road in Pikesville, MD, overlooking Gwynn’s Falls Dam. In 1908 she married Bolling Walker Barton, Jr., President of Barton, Duet & Koch Paper Company.
