Look into my soft golden eyes and what do you see? A shy orange and white tabby boy named Mikey. I was found as a stray so not much is known about my background. I am looking for a permanent home now and I think the nice people here at AWLMC will help me with that. Don’t let my shyness fool you, my curiosity about everything is helping me come out of my shell, especially my curiosity about toys! In fact, my favorite word is “play” particularly when it involves wand toys. I am not quite two years old and I love chasing, jumping, and moving anywhere to catch anything dangling off of those wand toys. Besides wand toys, I am learning that “hands on” things can be fun too - like eating yummy treats off your fingers, my fur being stroked with feather wands and receiving gentle pets along the side of my body. I am learning to enjoy the human touch. I am told these things take practice and patience. I’ve also made friends with my roommate, another shy guy, and we learn from watching each other. I have all the signs of a good learner: active, energetic, exuberant, smart. Come see me, so that we can see if I can become your lifetime companion, your forever ginger boy.

As many of you may already know, we have a mission: To enhance the lives of Montgomery County Maryland residents and animals through programs directed at education, adoption, animal shelter, and low cost spay/neuter.

With this in mind, we are partnering with the county shelter to help save the most at-risk animals. Currently, we are only working with cats.

Our organization is strong and full of highly dedicated volunteers of all ages, backgrounds, professions and abilities. We are working together to save the lives of cats and kittens, to find them loving, forever homes and to have them spay/neutered. All of our cats and kittens are spayed or neutered prior to adoption.
