Shelter
Metro Ferals - MD
Mission
Helping Washington DC, Northern Virginia, and Maryland with their feral cat population. Metro Ferals is an all-volunteer organization that was established in 1997 to promote non-lethal alternatives to feral cat population control.
Wild or feral cats are trapped, neutered and then returned (TNR) to their “home”, where we make sure there is a caretaker who can watch out for them and feed them. Young kittens are rescued, socialized and adopted through our adoption program. We also run a low cost spay/neuter clinic for feral cats and provide assistance to people wishing to TNR the cats they feed and maintain.
Adoption Policy
Cats and kittens of the week: We have wonderful cats looking for a home. Many were abandoned and left to fend for themselves.
With the exception of our cats and kittens listed in our special needs category, our cats and kittens available for adoption have tested negative for FIV/FELV, vaccinated and spayed/neutered (older than 10 weeks).
Please understand that Metro Ferals will not adopt out cats as “presents”. Nor will Metro Ferals adopt to someone that has never met the cat. Metro Ferals believes that every cat deserves a loving and permanent home.
You may contact the foster home and prearrange a visit. Metro Ferals encourages potential adopters to visit the cats, interact, and decide on a new family member based upon your unique needs and wants.
If you’re interested in a particular cat or kitten, please talk to a Metro Ferals representative on all the details.
If you have a specific question about a particular cat, please contact Metro Ferals.
