The mission of Town Cats is to enrich the lives of free-roaming, feral, or abandoned cats in the Ocean City, Md and surrounding communities by limiting the population growth and providing medical care through Trap/Neuter/Return (TNR), and affordable adoption services.
Town Cats was organized in 1998 in order to address the feral cat population of Ocean City, Maryland. When they went home in the fall, many summer visitors would leave behind the cats they had been feeding all summer to face the winter without food or shelter. Those that survived would inevitably breed in the spring, producing litters of feral kittens that would eventually produce more unwanted kittens. Something had to be done to stop the litters and so Town Cats was born to spay/neuter/vaccinate the feral cats of Ocean City.
Once you have selected a cat(s) you are interested in, a simple application must be completed. All applications will be considered on a basis of “best fit”. We encourage those potential adopters who rent your home to provide a copy of your lease or a letter from the property manager stating you may have pets. This helps expedite the process and will make your experience more hassle free!
(Even if you have not selected a cat, we strongly recommend that you complete an application and gain pre-approval, as it will make the process much faster once you have identified your cat of choice).
The application evaluation process will generally be completed within 24-48 hours. Upon completion & approval of the application you will schedule an appointment with our adoption counselor to pick up your new friend! It is as simple as signing a few forms, receiving information on your new cat as well as suggestions for introducing your new family member to your home. This is a great time for you to come prepared to ask questions or address concerns. We are always happy to help! Be sure to bring a carrier for your new family member.
All of the cats we offer for adoption are spay/neutered,micro-chipped, had rabies shots, been tested for feline diseases, been dewormed and treated for fleas, etc. There is a fee of $95 to partially offset these costs.
