Feral Cat Rescue of Southern Maryland

In 2007 when Feral Cat Rescue was founded, Tri-County Shelter was euthanizing 550 cats per month. In 2017, the number dropped to 160 per month due to the efforts of Feral Cat Rescue volunteers as well as the efforts of other rescue groups in the tri-county area. We believe the humane solution to the feral cat population is TRAP / NEUTER / RETURN / MAINTAIN rather than euthanasia. We vet over 400 cats a year and return them to their homes where members of the community continue to maintain these cats by providing food and water daily along with veterinarian care when needed. We are only able to foster about 120 cats a year. We do not take in feral adults. When we have room we may take in kittens under the age of 8 weeks to foster. We sometimes take in already domesticated adults.

​Our main goals are:

​1. Trap, Neuter, Return, Maintain (TNRM).

2. Provide education, grants, and traps to the community in order to reduce the feral cat population.

3. Find loving forever homes for domestic cats/kittens.
