Shelters are often inundated with pet surrenders, and do not want to provide a simple outlet that takes away the obligation of responsible pet ownership. Therefore, they would prefer that people try hard to find a solution before resorting to surrendering their pet to a shelter. If you must find a new home for a pet, please try posting to our adoption portal before placing the burden on the shelter. Direct adoptions work well and allow everyone to share in the accountability of their community!
No-kill shelters do wonderful work, but as a result, are often inundated with pet surrenders. In the unfortunate scenario that you have to find a new home for your pet, please read through the rehoming solution and articles on this page before contacting the shelter.

Good Morning,
Last June I found a couple of cats on my door step. They used to be my neighbors who abandoned two cats, 4 dogs and several pigeons. She remarried and just let the animals out the door and she was gone.1 dog came to us and 2 cats also found their way to us. They were only skin and bones and of course I fed them. It did not take long and we had a family of six kittens on our porch and in August we had three more. I have been feeding Mom & Dad plus 9 little ones and my old cat as well as my daughters two cats. We also have four rescue dogs between us.
Recently I was evaluated at Johns Hopkins with a muscle disease and found that I had "Malignant Hyperthermia". I was advised to go into a assistant living community because my muscle disease will progress rapidly. I am 75 years old in a wheel chair and need to change my life style drastically. I have to find a home for Mom & Dad that live on my deck in a winter hause for cats. When it was very cold they did stay in the house. I need to find a home for five kittens almost a year old.
I have the later batch: 2 black fluffy sisters Boo & Squirrel love padding
1 black and white shiny brother love padding and sit on
my lap
first batch: 1 tiger beautiful colored charmer
1 grey fuzzy boy charmer
MOM & DAD 1 grey fuzzy Mom and a tiger Dad
All are fixed and vaccinated. They are healthy. They Purina Natural dry food and they use to get Wellness soft food but now they won't eat it. Friskies is on the menu these days.
Please let me know if I can b ring you a few of the kittens.
I would donate about $100 per kitty. I live off of Social Security, rich I am not but
these kittens want to live and be happy. They all get along with the dogs, Belgian Malinois, Belgian Sheep dog, Beagle and small Terrier mix.
