My story

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

Mel was born in 2022. She was adopted as a kitten and returned 3 years later through no fault of her own. It really took a toll on her and she had a hard time coming out of her shell. She didn’t trust anyone. She met Chedda who is also available for adoption and she had a connection with him. It helped her so much to come out of her shell. She readily goes over to her foster mom to get on her lap and to be petted. She loves to sleep with her and one of the very best things about Mel is that her fur is so incredibly silky and soft. A person could melt in her fur. You can meet her at our Petco Adoption Events. She hates going there. All the noises scare her. She would enjoy a quiet home or even better a home with Chedda. Chedda is definitely betta. It is nice to see them walk past each other in the house and bump faces to greet one another. It is important to find her a home so if you only have room for one, please consider Mel and doing a trial adoption with her.

Meet the available cats and kittens at the Petco in California MD on Saturdays and Sundays 11-3 or at the Meow Dyer Cat Cafe in Leonardtown MD.

Additional adoption info

Adoption Process:
1. Fill out an application online at www.feralcatrescuemd.org and email it to info@feralcatrescuemd.org or diane@feralcatrescemd.org or fill out an application in person at the California MD Petco on Sundays between 11am and 3pm.
2. If approved, we make arrangements to bring the cat(s) to your home to meet with your family.
3. At that time, we give you the medical records and you sign the contract and pay the adoption fee which is tax deductible. Our adoption fees are $125 for a kitten and $75 for an adult cat.
4. When you sign the contract, you are promising to vet the cat yearly as well as sick visits. You also promise to give the cat back to Feral Cat Rescue if in the future, if you are no longer able to care for your cat(s). We do not want to see any cats turned over to the shelter or sent outside to fend for themselves.

Go meet their pets

We hold adoptions at our local Petco store every Sunday from 10:30 am to 3:00 pm and most Saturdays from 10:30 am to 3:00 pm.

More about this rescue

Feral Cat Rescue, Inc. is a non-profit, all-volunteer organization dedicated to humanely reducing the feral and stray cat population in St. Mary’s County through a variety of methods without euthanasia. With our Trap-Neuter-Return program, feral cats are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated and sterilized by veterinarians. Healthy adults cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers or those people already feeding them. Under our adoption program, the kittens and tame young adult cats that are adoptable are temporarily placed with foster families until they can be permanently adopted into good homes.
