My story

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

Rivero here! Slow and steady like the flow of a river, but in no time I open up! I am an adorable, sweet girl in search of her furever home. I`m and 11- year old black and white cat who`s been around the block a few times... though I won`t tell you what I was up to. Honestly? No one knows much about me, and I like to keep a little mystery- it makes me seem more sophisticated. I am bonded with my sister Raya, so we are looking for a home big enough for two kitties with big personalities!
What I can say is that I`ve perfected the art of lounging, judging, and looking fabulous in my coat. I may be older, but that just means I know what I want: cozy naps, good snacks, and maybe someone who appreciates my `man of mystery` vibe.
If you are looking for a cool, low drama roommate who keeps you guessing, I might just be your man.

I am bonded with my best friend, Raya! We do everything together. I am also her emotional support, so we need to go home together. We will provide twice the fun and entertainment once we become comfortable with you. You will need some time for us to decompress and get cozy so please be patient with us.

Interested in adopting us? 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 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.
