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! Also, if you are viewing this cat on Petfinder, note that ALL of our animals are spayed/neutered despite what it says.



Freddy Friend was originally just "friend" because he is the friend of some other kittens I have (Irina, Ivan, and Iona). He's kind of like a big brother to them, and would love to go home with one of them. 

Freddy was rescued from a large cat colony along with the three smaller kittens because he was sick. He's better now and ready to go to a foster-to-adopt situation where there are other kitties for him to buddy up with.

We think Freddy was born in late June or early July. He is not exactly friendly to humans, but tolerates handling. He could come around with more one-on-one work, but will likely remain a skittish cat. 

Freddy is also available for adoption as a barn cat or mouser as seasonally-appropriate. 



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 / Kitten over 6 months - $90
  • Kitten under 6 months - $150
  • Pair of Kittens - $275
