About Our Rescue Group
The Howard County Cat Club is a registered 501 (c)(3) nonprofit no kill cat rescue. Our mission is to keep cats out of shelters because we believe that no cat deserves to live in a cage, or to be put to death because it is no longer wanted or in the way. We operate a behavior hotline to help cats and their human companions resolve their differences. We help people place their no-longer-wanted cats in loving new homes, and we foster cats in our "group home" when they have no place else to go.
Come Meet our Pets
We have adoption shows on the first and third Sunday of every month from noon-3 p.m. at the Columbia PetCo store on Dobbin Road. Please call or write to us before you come to the show, so we can make sure the cat you want to meet will be there! Our cats also enjoy meeting potential forever families by appointment at our group home.
Our Adoption Process
Potential forever families must complete an application and sign a contract. Our contract stipulates that you will NOT declaw and that the cat will be returned to us if things don't work out. Cats who are adopted together must be returned together -- they may not be separated. Our contract also stipulates that you will feed both canned and dry food -- we do not want our cats to have dry food-only diets. We DO adopt to safe, responsible indoor/outdoor homes. And we almost always have ferals who must be relocated to barn homes.
Cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! Please consider a rescue pet before you buy a cat from a breeder or pet store. Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA. |
