Howard County Cat Club - no kill shelter

Cat rescue in Columbia, MD

WE ARE IN URGENT NEED OF A NEW SHELTER. YOU CAN READ MORE HERE: https://www.facebook.com/notes/howard-county-cat-club/howard-county-cat-club-shelter-faqs/10155854735751556/

The Howard County Cat Club is a registered 501 (c)(3) nonprofit no kill cat rescue. Our mission is to keep cats out of shelters because we believe that no cat deserves to live in a cage, or to be put to death because it is no longer wanted or in the way. We operate a behavior hotline to help cats and their human companions resolve their differences. We advise people who are trying to place their no-longer-wanted cats in loving new homes, and we foster cats in our "group home" when they have no place else to go.

Additional adoption info

Potential forever families must complete an application and sign a contract. Our contract stipulates that you will NOT declaw and that the cat will be returned to us if things don't work out. Cats who are adopted together must be returned together -- they may not be separated. Our contract also stipulates that you will feed wet food -- we do not want our cats to have dry food-only diets. We DO adopt to safe, responsible indoor/outdoor homes and barn homes.
