'For six years, I was my human's special friend. I made her laugh when I was a kitten. And I cuddled with her as an adult. When she was expecting a baby, I was there for her through all the morning sickness, and I helped her take care of the new little human when he came home. So you can imagine my shock when I suddenly found myself in the Howard County Cat Club's 'kitty group home. The man who moved in with her before the baby arrived decided there was no room in their home or their hearts for a cat!' Even though I lived in the group home for nearly two years, I was never very happy. I was sort of scared of the other cats, and I just wanted my own human to love and care for. I finally got adopted, and all the volunteers were so happy and excited for me! Some of them made a special trip to the group home to say goodbye and bring me gifts to take with me to my new home. I was so happy, and I felt so special. But the adoption didn't work out (the people wanted a mousetrap; a mouser, I'm not!), and now I'm being returned. 'My feelings are so hurt! I don't understand why they didn't love me for what I am -- a very gentle, loving cat who would warm my special person's heart and lap. 'If you're looking for a really special, once-in-a-lifetime cat friend, please consider me. I'll fill your life with warmth and love. I'd be a great first cat for a child who wants a friend during the day and cuddle buddy at night. 'I'm back on the adoption show circuit again, so you can meet me on the second Sunday of every month at the Highland Groomery, 13401 Clarksville Pike Highland, MD 20777. I'll be there waiting to meet you from noon-3 pm. I'll also be at the adoption shows at the Columbia PetCo store on Dobbin Road from noon-3 pm on the third Sunday of every month. Please come by and say hello. Maybe we'll be the 'purrfect' match, and you'll decide to take me home.'

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 help people 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.
SPECIAL NOTICE: AS SUNDAY APRIL 12 IS EASTER, WE WILL NOT BE HAVING AN ADOPTION SHOW AT HIGHLAND GROOMERY ON THIS DATE. WE HAVE RESCHEDULED THAT SHOW FOR SUNDAY, APRIL 26. OUR SHOW AT PETCO ON APRIL 19 IS STILL ON AS SCHEDULED.
We have adoption shows on the second Sunday of every month from noon-3 p.m. at the Highland Groomery, 13401 Clarksville Pike Highland, MD 20777. Call 410-730-5511for directions. On the third Sunday of every month, we're at the Columbia PetCo store on Dobbin Road. Please call or write to us before you come to the show, so we can make sure the cat you want to meet will be there! Our cats also enjoy meeting potential forever families by appointment at our group home.
Our Adoption Process...
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 both canned and dry food -- we do not want our cats to have dry food-only diets. We DO adopt to safe, responsible indoor/outdoor homes. And we almost always have ferals who must be relocated to barn homes.
We Serve the Following Cities, Towns, and/or Counties...
Howard County, Carroll County, Prince George's County, Montgomery County, Anne Arundel County, Baltimore City and County
