Rude Ranch Animal Rescue's adoption process

Additional adoption info

We have a two page adoption application, which can be downloaded from our
website. (www.ruderanch.org/adopt/adopt.html). You can either fax the
completed application back to us at 410.798.9568, or bring it with you when you
visit.
You can come visit our cats and kittens during the week by appointment. Just
call 410.798.9559 or email adopt@ruderanch.org to make an appointment. The
shelter is open to the public on weekends from noon - 3 by appointment.
There is a $125 adoption fee. This covers the cat or kitten's spay or neuter
surgery, basic vet exam, testing for FIVand FELV, microchipping, treatment for fleas, ticks,
worms, earmites and other internal parasites, at least one distemper vaccine and
a rabies vaccine if the cat is old enough.
If everything works out, you can take your new family member home with you on
the same day. You will need a sturdy carrier to take him/her home in.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
