Our Mission
The Animal Welfare League of Frederick County is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization dedicated to ending animal homelessness.
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.

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 mo
