Unfortunately, our cat passed away unexpectedly in the evening and we were forced to keep his body in our freezer until we could find a pet crematorium. After calling 4 companies (no response-some mentioned a 2 hour turnaround, which wasn’t true) I felt overwhelmed and devastated for my fur baby. Luckily, I came across the SPCA’s information. Chris was extremely helpful and caring. He made sure I had the 1st appointment of the day, which was an extreme relief. Once we got there the whole process took less than 15 minutes and we’ll have his cremains in a week. Thanks to the SPCA & Chris, we’re able to properly grieve our cat…Ramsay.

Mary Berryman | Sep 12, 2019

Do they offer same-day adoption? What are the prices for cats/kittens?

Kennra Mac Henry | Sep 12, 2019
Susan Keck | Sep 12, 2019

They usually dont have same day adoptions. You have to fill out a form that they read over and make sure you have the right home. All members of your household have to meet and approve of the cat. They want to make sure the cat is going to a good, loving forever home and not just be a whim that the family will soon tire of.

My 7 year old would like to volunteer at the animal shelter with me. Are there age requirements for interacting with the animals at the shelter?

Carrie Temple | Sep 12, 2018
Barbara Mayerman | Sep 12, 2018

Hi Carrie! Okay here's the Scoop. In order for a child to be able to volunteer and work with the animals at the Annapolis SPCA shelter children must be 13 years old. Now however, there is an adorable program for children on Thursday nights for 8 years old and up it could really depend on his reading ability because the SPCA Bedtime Book Buddies program, where these children sit with the cats and/or dogs and read to them for a period of time is sweet Your son and other children who read this might want to participate in that reading program.

Today we were cuddling the darling kittens at the shelter, and hope to adopt one. But about an hour later my nose and face became very itchy and my eyes became red. I am wondering if I may have an allergy to cat dander. What do you think?

Marianne Guevara | Sep 12, 2018
colleen kelley | Sep 12, 2018

you should consult an allergist and be tested for allergies before considering adopting a kitten or cat
