My story

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

Our rescue is based out of Pikesville, Maryland!  We typically do not adopt more than 45 minutes away from Pikesville, so please bear that in mind before you apply/get too attached.



Jasmine and her three kittens, Aster, Daisy, and Oleander, are in need of a foster or foster-to-adopt situation. They need to stay together for at least another few weeks as of early November.

Jasmine was taken to animal control as a stray and quickly gave birth in her cage there. Unfortunately, three of her kittens did not survive, but the remaining three - Daisy (black female), Aster and Oleander (brown tabby males) are strong and healthy. They've spent their entire lives in a crate so far and could really use some room to run around!

The kittens are all very friendly and social with humans, but Jasmine, while sweet, is easily spooked and keeps her distance. However, she is very quiet and well-behaved!

The kittens need to be adopted into a home with another playful cat or kitten. If you don't already have one, please consider two from this litter! They would make great playmates. Single-kitten adoptions are possible when there are other playful and cat-friendly cats in the home. Learn more about the reason why we don't adopt kittens out alone.

Born September 27th, these kittens have spay/neuter appointments set up for December 4th.  They can be fostered-to-adopt until after those appointments when adoptions will be finalized. The family needs to be fostered together at least until the end of November.



Needs Must Cats will have received full vetting including spay or neuter, FIV/FLV testing, microchip, and treatment for parasites by time of adoption. The adoption fee in the amount below helps us assist more cats and kittens in urgent need. These fees do not even begin to cover our expenses so please consider making an additional donate to support our life-saving efforts!

  • Special Needs or Barn Cat - Donation
  • Adult Cat - $90
  • Kitten under 6 months - $150
  • Pair of Kittens - $275
