BARN CAT PROGRAM:Cats that are not offered for general adoption are offered as barn home adoptions. A suitable barn home would be a barn or an outbuilding (shed, garage, warehouse, etc.) that would provide adequate shelter for the cat/cats. All cats going to barn homes are spayed/neutered, FeLV tested, rabies and distemper vaccinated, ear tipped, and microchipped. By offering the cats for barn home placement, it allows them a positive outcome from the shelter. Cats being offered as barn homes are generally cats who have previously been outdoor cats, semi-feral, or feral cats.Because our barn cats typically need special handling, we request that their adoptions be done by appointment. Please call the Feline Department to schedule one at 410-848-4810 ext 816. If no one answers, please leave a detailed message with your name and phone number, and the call will be returned by end of business Monday - Friday.Adopters can prepare for their appointment by being 18 years of age or older, having permission from their landlord to bring a feral cat onto their property, and having some form of ID that shows their current address. All barn cats must be taken home in a hard-sided pet carrier (no soft-sided or cardboard carriers), provided by the adopter.
