I was looking for a kitten and made an appointment to view them, Adult cats were only available which wasted my time. I also emailed an employee 3 days ago asking if any kittens were to come available would they please notify me. I have still not received a response.

I have called this shelter THREE times and left TWO messages regarding paperwork about cats I hat adopted there in June of 2019. I talked with a woman on the phone and she said that she would send me the information I needed through email and I have received no such thing! I need to know what shots my cats had before taking them to another vet!

I found my baby, my new love here on Saturday!! Uno, who is said to be a mastiff mix, was a big mouth pup in a kennel dying to get out so after spending time with another dog in the play area, I opted to take Uno out & as I watched him immediately walk over to my 13y/o daughter I knew he was the one. The animal control officer was very helpful, she gave me his background which really made me want to bring him to his forever home. So many people pass up shelters & mutts, I used to be one, but this was the best decision I've made in years. Check out their kittens too, they're adorbs!! (The white dog is Boris, he's a gentle giant & 4yrs old, he's avail too) LOOK AT THESE PIC AND TELL ME HE'S NOT A KEEPER!!!!!

Can a 15 year old volunteer here for a few hours?

Natali Cupido | Sep 9, 2019
LaTanya Lucas | Sep 9, 2019

You can put in an application and try. They usually allow seniors from Roosevelt or neighboring schools to volunteer if they need community service hours, but like I said it won't hurt to try.

How much does it cost for a cat

Brenda Litten | Sep 8, 2021
Valerie Cowan | Sep 8, 2021

If I remember correctly... Its $125 which includes a microchip neutering and all shots if the cat is old enough but its best to call. The cost varies depending on where you adopt from. I adopted from Bowie Claw. It costed $140 for a kitten... neutered... microchipped an most of his shots. Vets charge outrageous amounts to neuter/spay. Mine charges $500 for males and $450 for females but a lot 9f the time you can call around and find clinics that will do it much cheaper if you already have a cat that needs this done... just a little knowledge for anyone that needs it.

Have a female boxer, in need of a immediate home she’s 2.5 yrs. house broken, adores children, great family pet.

Looking for a good mouser. Are any available?

djangogeek | Sep 8, 2021
Valerie Cowan | Sep 8, 2021

They will not allow you to adopt cats for use as a mouser. They are to be adopted as pets and companions for other pets you may already have.

Does anyone know if they are open now? I call the phone number listed and no one answers and I need assistance

Iris Ventura | Sep 8, 2021
Beth Terry | Sep 8, 2021

They are open by appointment. You can email them at the email address on the website. We just adopted a cat from them this week.

Hi, I would like a number to call for a stray cat found in my area. I am only interested if it's a no-kill shelter. Do I bring the cat in or is it picked up? Let me know asap. Thanks!

Red Ginger | Sep 8, 2021
Valerie Cowan | Sep 8, 2021

The only no kill shelter I know of is Annapolis SPCA. They even display well tempered/social cats/kittens at Petsmart in hopes of finding forever homes quicker. 🥰 They have cats that have been there so long that they now call them residents.

Hello, On January 31, 2018, my pet parakeet became lost, after returning home from vet appointment. His name is "Cody." He is ill and requires medication at home. He is green and yellow with black markings. Have you seen him, or have him?

I'm wondering what the process is for bringing my 11 yr-old cat to your facility? I can no longer keep her in my residence 😢

journalgirrl | Sep 9, 2018
LaTanya & Devin Lucas | Sep 9, 2018

If you are not a Greenbelt resident you must take your cat to PG Animal Services @ 3750 Brown Station Rd., Upper Marlboro to surrender her. I'm sorry you have to do this, I have rescued 4 kittens, 1 who was set to be euthanized because she was far from friendly and 4 who's owners could no longer keep/care for them. Have you tried a close friend or family as her forever home so you could still see her?

Who do I report an abandoned pet to? Someone abandoned a kitten and it is now living in the bushes outside of our apartment.

Donna Allen | Sep 9, 2018
Ellen | Sep 9, 2018
