My story

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

Hi, my name is Button, and I am cute as a button!

I used to live outdoors before my foster family invited me and my kittens to live with them until we found our fur-ever family. I may be a little nervous and seem shy at first but once I am comfortable, I am so sweet and playful. My favorite toys are soft balls and I love naps on a comfy sofa. I also spend lots of time playing with my kittens and window watching.

My dream family includes one of my kittens, but I am also good with gentle kids. My dream family has the patience to get to know me and lots of love and affection to give. I don’t like being picked up, but I’ll happily join you on the couch or when you’re lying in bed for a petting and snuggling session!

My Profile:
Age: Young (About 1.5 years)
Good with kids: Yes (gentle kids after getting to know them)
Good with dogs: Not sure
Good with other cats: Yes
Activity level: Medium
Currently lives with her litter of four kittens. They are very close, and it would be ideal for at least two of them to go to the same home together.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

All of our adoptions begin with a visit to one of our adoption events. The adoption coordinator and/or the pet's foster parent will review the applications received. The applicant (if any) whose responses best fit the needs of the particular pet will generally be contacted within a week to schedule a home visit. A vet check and personal reference is also required prior to visiting your home. Our non-refundable adoption fee is $250 for dogs, $85 for kittens ($150 for a pair of kittens), and $75 for an adult cat. The fee covers spay/neuter, core vaccines (distemper and rabies), deworming, microchipping, and the general care of the animals. Per our contract, if you cannot keep your adopted pet for any reason, it must be returned to our program. We will try to find it a new home.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

We don't have a central shelter facility, so the best place to meet our adoptable cats and dogs is at our adoption shows! If you have previously filled out an application, please bring it with you to the show! Please e-mail with any questions. We cannot guarantee that an animal you want to meet will be at the show. Please check www.pgspca.org -> adopt -> adoption_show_attendees the day before the show and we will do our best to let you know if he/she will be there!

We hold two adoption events each month, on Saturdays from 12 noon to 2 pm.

More about this rescue

The PGSPCA is a nonprofit organization of volunteers dedicated to animal welfare. We are chartered by the State of Maryland, but we receive no state or county funds. Our activities are supported solely by contributions, dues and fundraising events.

We have three main objectives:

• To reduce the number of unwanted litters of dogs and cats through our progressive spay/neuter program – We have altered more than 20,000 animals over the past five years, many of them at no charge;

• To prevent cruelty to animals and all animal suffering through humane education, neglect and cruelty investigations, protective legal action, and an active dog and cat adoption program – We receive about 1,000 calls a month for cruelty investigations, spay and neuter assistance and adoption requests;

• To protect all animals against suffering and abuse through education on legislation affecting the protection of all animals – We regularly educate the public and provide testimony about animal welfare to county and state legislators.
