Last Chance Animal Rescue
(LCAR)
What does LCAR do?
LCAR is a non-profit "no-kill" organization that rescues and cares for abandoned animals, primarily cats at this time, and then places them in good homes for the remainder of their lives. We operate mainly in the Central Maryland and Northern Virginia area partnering with 24 PetSmart retail stores through their Luv-A-Pet centers. If you would like to contact us please send an e-mail with your inquiry.
Volunteers Save Thousands of Feline Lives Every Year
You will find our volunteers in PetSmart adoption centers providing routine daily care to our feline friends, assisting potential adoption parents, and providing useful information to PetSmart customers. Our volunteers are dedicated and committed to ensuring the safety and general welfare of our cats, as well as working diligently to make the adoption process a positive experience for both the cats and the newly adoptive parents. It's through the generous hearts and hands of our volunteers that we can guarantee the animals who come into our care will never again be alone, hungry, sick, afraid, or in pain.
Would You Like to Help Make a Big Difference in the Lives of Our Kitties?
We are looking for volunteers to staff our PetSmart Charities “Luv-A-Pet Adoption Centers” in select PetSmart stores throughout
Central Maryland and Northern Virginia.
Join Us in Making a Difference!
Your donation of just a few hours a week can make a significant contribution to the lives of our rescued cats. When you volunteer to work with LCAR, you really do change lives and at the same time have lots of fun!
- Spend time socializing our furry friends with people.
- Provide much needed supervised exercise for the kitties outside the cage.
- Assist interested people in the adoption process.
- Open up your home in fostering our kitties before they are put up for adoption.
If you have just a few hours each week to spare, please email us:

Volunteers represent our most valuable asset, and we have a personable Volunteer Coordinator to organize dedicated compassionate volunteers into a powerhouse for the animals. Every week LCAR finds new homes for about 150 cats that were destined to become part of the dead pile at other facilities. We are the very "Last Chance" to save the lives of these unfortunate souls. Together we are making a real difference and you can become a major player in making that difference.
