My story

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

Chedda is a very friendly big orange guy who was trapped in Lexington Park. Although he does have a microchip, it is not registered to an owner. We filed a found report, but he was not claimed. Mel was adopted as a kitten and dropped off at a shelter after 3 years. She was very hurt and scared after her shelter experience and wasn't open to another friendship with a human.

Chedda has been very good for Mel. She has learned from him that it's okay to trust people again, and she's now affectionate with her foster mom. Chedda loves people, but is very shy and submissive with other cats. He could be bullied very easily, which is why it's so nice that he's found a best friend in Mel. He does not like dogs.

Chedda likes to be with his people and will talk to you. He's shy, so he will talk to you and give you the option to come see him if you want. He doesn't like to push himself on people at first. Mel is similar. She doesn't talk as much, but she does enjoy pets. They are almost always found piled on top of each other napping. When not napping, they enjoy pets and both are big foodie fans.

Chedda and Mel would do best in a quiet household. They are available as two for the price of one! One adoption fee of $125 will cover both cats. A trial adoption is also available so their future family can be sure they are an excellent fit.

Meet the available cats and kittens at the Petco in California MD on Saturdays and Sundays 11-3 or at the Meow Dyer Cat Cafe in Leonardtown MD.

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.
