Looking for a little magic in your life? Say hello to Wishbone, a shy but sweet feline with a perfectly placed wishbone marking right on her forehead — and yes, she’s just as special as she looks! At first glance, Wishbone might seem like the quiet type, preferring to observe her kingdom from a cozy perch or tucked-away nook. But give her a little time and patience, and you’ll unlock the real treasure: a chatty, affectionate companion with lots of opinions and even more love to give. Once you’re in her inner circle, she’ll greet you with gentle chirps, soft blinks, and maybe even a dramatic flop at your feet.
She’s not the life of the party, but she is the loyal best friend who will binge-watch your favorite shows with you, narrate her thoughts on the weather, and quietly sneak into your heart.
Wishbone is wishing for: - A calm, quiet home (bonus points for sunny windows and cozy hideaways) - A patient adopter who’ll let her blossom at her own pace - Someone who loves a good conversation… eventually
Could you be the one to make her wish come true?
Interested in adopting me? We recommend submitting a general online adoption application and then heading to the shelter during our normal adoption hours (Mon: 12-4pm and Tues-Sun: 12-5pm) to meet our available animals. Please note: all applications are considered general until the animal has been met. If you have any questions, please contact animalcenter@bmorehumane.org or 410-833-8848 Ext/Opt 2

More about this shelter
The Humane Society of Baltimore County, now known as the Baltimore Humane Society (BHS), was founded in 1927 by a pioneering and compassionate socialite named Elsie Seeger Barton (1886-1983).
In 1902, at age 16, Miss Seeger was stricken with rheumatic fever and was confined to her bed. During that time, her constant companions were the family’s beloved pets. It was at that time that Ms. Seeger resolved to devote her life to the care and humane treatment of companion and service animals. When she became well, she established a refuge for abused and homeless animals on her family’s estate, known as “Thistle Top” on Milford Road in Pikesville, MD, overlooking Gwynn’s Falls Dam. In 1908 she married Bolling Walker Barton, Jr., President of Barton, Duet & Koch Paper Company.
