Story
Hi, I’m Kitty! I’m a 3-year-old girl with a sweet demeanor and an affinity for affection! I’m chatty, enjoy gentle pets, and show my warm disposition with firm headbutts once you’ve won me over (read more to see how to do just that!). I work full-time as a professional biscuit maker, and I take my job seriously. My absolute favorite thing, though, is TREATS (that`s the secret weapon, if you hadn`t figured it out already). I’m extremely food motivated, and when a snack is coming, my tail does an adorable twitchy “happy tail” that gives my excitement away every time. If you’re looking for a loving, affectionate cat with a big personality and an even bigger love for snacks, I might be your perfect match.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.

Story
Meet Zena — the tiny dumpster-diver turned absolute queen. This one-year-old tabby has already mastered the art of the dramatic rescue: on the eve of a massive snowstorm, she marched straight out of a feral colony, leapt into her feeder’s arms, and essentially said, “I live indoors now.” She may have smelled like garbage at the time, but her personality was pure gold — and it still is. Zena is the total package. She is outgoing, endlessly friendly, and has never met a stranger she didn’t immediately charm. She chirps and chatters like she has very important things to discuss, purrs with Olympic-level commitment, and hands out head butts as if they are her personal love language. Pick her up? Great. Cuddle time? Even better. She keeps her claws politely to herself, uses the litter box like a professional, and approaches life with bright curiosity rather than fear. Extremely food-motivated (read: will absolutely believe you are her hero if you possess snacks), Zena is affectionate, playful, and wonderfully gentle — even with children. She kneads biscuits with enthusiasm and would happily accept a full-time position as your personal shadow. Honestly, the only mystery is how a cat this perfect ended up near a dumpster — but she is clearly ready to leave her street-cat era behind and settle into the pampered life she was always meant for. If you are looking for a confident, loving, talkative companion who will fill your home with warmth, purrs, and the occasional polite request for second breakfast, Zena is waiting to jump straight into your arms next.

Story
Doc is a very sweet orange tabby cat that loves to lay in the sun and be near his people - but watch out because he will sneak up and head butt you for attention! He is good with small dogs and other cats, loves children and is very patient even with little kids. Doctor will let you pick him up and hold him like a baby whenever you want. He sleeps at the foot of his foster mom's bed but doesn't need to be right next to her. Doc isn’t a huge "treat cat". but does love to eat. The adoption fee for this cat is $175, which helps with the cost of routine vet care. Doc is neutered, up to date on vaccines, litterbox trained, and FIV/FeLV negative. For more information, please email kbuckner@petconnectrescue.org

Story
Tuxedo’s story begins just in time—found as a stray and brought safely indoors right before a snowstorm rolled in. It didn’t take long for him to show his gratitude, settling in as a lovely companion who happily sought out attention and followed his finders from room to room. Friendly and affectionate, he clearly enjoyed being close to his people. They also discovered one of his charming quirks: a special fondness for cardboard and carpet scratching pads, which quickly became his favorite spots to lounge and play.
