My story

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

PATTY!
“I'm a friendly, low key, young lady who enjoys a good petting session. I am a good companion and am not a super needy kitty (except I NEED my treats) but I am a great house cat! I am 4 years old. If you seek a quiet, yet well-mannered friend to read books to, or do some bird watching out of a sunny window with (my favorite. I do it at night too) then I'm your girl! I enjoy being part of what you are doing. Like, if you are on the bed putting a puzzle together or doing something fun, I like to be part of the fun. I do prefer my own cat tree to sit in while you sit beside me in your own chair though. I'm sure in time I'll enjoy a warm lap, but for now I like my space. Close but not sickly sweet close. Like with sleeping arrangements; I'll hang at the foot of your bed when not on my tree; I give you some space. Often if I think you're awake - I'll gently pat your arm. If you respond I'll cup my head into your hand for some pets. If you don't respond I go back to my own spot and try not to wake you. Once I know you're up though, it's TREAT TIME! I take my treats morning noon and night. We can have treats and tea together! I love treats. yumyumyum. Eh, I also prefer to drink out of your glass. Just sayin'. I don't speak often either. Unless I'm in my carrier. I am very easy to pick up and handle and I don't complain much; but I do have quite a mouth when you drive me around. Not a fan. But I'm not bad. I've been told I'm not very appealing when I go to Petco adoption events. I say otherwise - just look at my new photo, I was recently posing at Petco. I don't think I have RBF as I've been told. I may be a bit stand-offish or swat you away after fifteen minutes of Petco exposure but who likes being stared at and fondled? I'm simply asking to be left alone. Sure, I might hiss at the cat next to me but who wants to sit next to loud teenaged kittens vying for all the attention? See, I just have my own personality. If you think we are a match, please ask for more information or to meet me. Apply at www.feralcatrescuemd.org.

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.
