This is what every shelter, every rescue and every outreach program is faced with right now. Please keep your pets at home and consider every alternative to surrendering them to a shelter. If you need pet food or supplies, email us at [email protected]

More than 100 animals were brought into the Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter in the last 48 hours, according to the shelter. “That’s both dogs and cats, mainly dogs,” said assistant director of communications for BARCS, Noelle Patterson.

We continue to work our way through our TNR waiting list and appreciate your patience. Our organization has taken a brief pause in doing TNR this week. The females have a significant amount of fur shaved on their abdomen for their surgery and the sudden extreme cold weather is not good for their recovery. We will continue to trap known male cats. Thank you for your patience and understanding that the cats' safety comes first.

On this day of thanks, we are reminded that it takes a village to help keep pets out of the shelters and rescues and at home where they belong. Thank you to all our donors, volunteers, veterinarians and their staff, food pantry partners, all those who support our mission, and most of all the individuals and families we serve, who love their cats and dogs and take such good care of them.

Please do not remove and relocate cats from their cat friends and familiar surroundings. It is cruel and unnecessary.

Happy !

Community cats are not only bonded to their outdoor homes; they're bonded to their colony members, too. That's why is the only humane and effective approach: community cats stay in the homes they know with their feline families!
