Solo's Story

Meet Solo — A Little Fighter with a Big Future Say hello to Solo, a sleek and striking black kitten with bright, soulful eyes and a story that proves just how strong love and determination can be. Solo may be small, but he’s already shown the heart of a hero — this brave boy has overcome a serious illness (FIP) and is now healthy, happy, and ready for his forever home! When Solo first came into our care, he was a very sick kitten battling Feline Infectious Peritonitis. Thanks to early treatment, expert veterinary care, and his own incredible spirit, he’s made a full recovery and is now thriving. He’s playful, affectionate, and loves every moment of his second chance at life. Solo is a wonderful mix of gentle and spirited. He loves chasing toys, exploring new spaces, and wrestling playfully with his feline friends. When playtime is done, he’s quick to climb into your lap, snuggle in close, and purr contentedly — a sweet reminder of just how grateful he is to be here. Solo is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and litter box trained. He’s great with other cats and would do beautifully in a home where he can share love and playtime. He is especially close to his foster sisters Tiger Lily and Dot. His soft, glossy coat and warm, trusting personality make him an absolute treasure — and his story makes him even more special. Solo may have started life with challenges, but today he’s a picture of health, joy, and resilience. Whoever adopts him won’t just gain a kitten — they’ll gain a survivor, a companion, and a daily reminder of hope. If you’re ready to open your heart to a little black cat with a big, brave soul, Solo is waiting to meet you. Foster Mom: zachariasjoanne@comcast.net

Animal Welfare League of Frederick County's Adoption Policy

Our philosophy regarding cat adoptions is based on the simple goal of placing a cat in its forever home. To this end, we strive to match the right cat with the right individual or family. Our adoption process includes a visit with the potential adopter, the cat, and its foster parent; completion of an adoption application; an adoption interview; completion of an adoption contract; and, payment of the adoption fee. We do not do same day adoptions. Because our foster parents invest a lot of time, energy, personal funds, and love in preparing an animal for adoption, we rely on the foster parent to advise potential adopters about the cat’s temperament, eating/sleeping/play habits, and likes/dislikes. The final decision regarding the adoption rests with the foster coodinator, in cooperation with the foster parent. Working cats – Keep your warehouse, factory, barn or other enclosed area rodent free naturally by adopting a healthy, unbonded cat (or two). Consultation is required. Contact us at info@awlfc.org The Adoption Process Send Cat Adoption Form to the foster parent. Plan to spend a few hours getting to know the cat and bring the entire family who will be living with the cat. We do not do same day adoptions. We require vet references and in some cases a home visit – either in person or virtual. During the adoption we spend time talking with adopters to educate them on important information about nutrition, scratching, litter box behaviors, etc. Even experienced cat owners can learn new information. The fee includes: spay or neuter of the cat, all core vaccines (FVRCP and rabies), deworming, feline leukemia/FIV testing, and microchipping. Last, but by no means least important, we have three non-negotiables when it comes to adopting our cats: We do not allow declawing. This is an inhumane surgery which mutilates a cat by amputating its first digit. This procedure can cause behavior issues, including inappropriate wetting and insecurity. It has been outlawed by most European countries and is opposed by the ASPCS and HSUS. If you must have a declawed cat, we encourage you to visit Frederick County Animal Control as they sometimes have declawed cats. Visit our Resources page to learn more. We require that you keep your cat indoors. We know cats love the outdoors but it doesn’t love them. In fact, the top cat killers are cars and attacks by dogs, other cats, and wildlife. Protect your cat by keeping it indoors. We require that you feed your cat/kitten a raw or holistic canned food diet. No dry food/kibble. How to Get Started Check out our cats for adoption via Petfinder, on facebook or by visiting our adoption center. When you are ready to apply: Fill out the Cat Adoption Form Email or call the foster parent listed on petfinder.com Once you submit your application, contact your vet and give them permission to answer any questions from an AWL representative in regards to pets medical history. If you rent, please be sure to provide landlord contact information. If you have a dog, we may require a meeting with the dog. Please Note AWLFC reserves the right to decline or not accept any application, based on the information we receive or are given during the approval process, and up to signing the adoption contract, with no explanation to the applicant. Information received during the approval process is considered confidential. The right to decline an adoption is at the sole discretion of AWLFC and/or AWLFC’s representatives. AWLFC is here to serve the best interests of our cats and dogs and our approval process is set up to do just that. If your application is denied you may appeal to the Board of Directors of AWLFC.
