My story

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

Orion is a sweet cuddly boy of 8 years. He was returned with his brother, Harlow, when his owners got divorced. He is over-the-top friendly. Gentle with kids and other cats. Would probably love a dog that didn't chase and terrorize him. Orion would fit into any household! His foster mom says he is extremely sweet! His tail vibrates because he is such a happy boy. He loves to be with his people and will follow you like a dog. He is also playful for his age, will do short zoomies when the mood strikes.



His favorite activities include:

-- Sitting in his mom's lap while she works from home, completely oblivious that he's huge and blocking her access to the keyboard.

-- Sleeping on the cat condo in a sunny spot by the window.

-- Happily accepting any new foster cat into his home with a raised tail (which is the cat version of a smile).

-- Pretending to die at mealtimes and wondering why his foster mom won't feed him more meals.

-- Rolling on the floor with a catnip mouse looking spaced out and crazy.



Orion has IBS and is very sensitive to foods. He must remain on a special veterinary diet to avoid diarrhea.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Adoption Process:
1. Fill out an application online at www.feralcatrescuemd.org and email it to info@feralcatrescuemd.org or diane@feralcatrescemd.org or fill out an application in person at the California MD Petco on Sundays between 11am and 3pm.
2. If approved, we make arrangements to bring the cat(s) to your home to meet with your family.
3. At that time, we give you the medical records and you sign the contract and pay the adoption fee which is tax deductible. Our adoption fees are $125 for a kitten and $75 for an adult cat.
4. When you sign the contract, you are promising to vet the cat yearly as well as sick visits. You also promise to give the cat back to Feral Cat Rescue if in the future, if you are no longer able to care for your cat(s). We do not want to see any cats turned over to the shelter or sent outside to fend for themselves.

Go meet their pets

We hold adoptions at our local Petco store every Sunday from 10:30 am to 3:00 pm and most Saturdays from 10:30 am to 3:00 pm.

More about this rescue

Feral Cat Rescue, Inc. is a non-profit, all-volunteer organization dedicated to humanely reducing the feral and stray cat population in St. Mary’s County through a variety of methods without euthanasia. With our Trap-Neuter-Return program, feral cats are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated and sterilized by veterinarians. Healthy adults cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers or those people already feeding them. Under our adoption program, the kittens and tame young adult cats that are adoptable are temporarily placed with foster families until they can be permanently adopted into good homes.
