My story

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

Hi I am Balboa! I`m a big handsome young cat with a LOT of energy, looking to find a cat savvy home with my new best friend Draco. We are guaranteed to make your household full of fun! We will do best in a home without small children due to our high energy. Our favorite staff members at the shelter will be happy to give you more information about us to make sure we would be a good fit!
Now, all about me: I love playing with wand toys and other interactive toys, playing fetch (yes I do bring the toy back!), and giving headbutts. I love Draco and you will often find me following him around, tag teaming playing with toys and wrestling with him! I am currently being taught how to sit and give high-fives through clicker training. Maybe you could help me learn some other tricks too!

Interested in adopting me? We recommend submitting a general online adoption application and then heading to the shelter during our normal adoption hours 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.
