The AWLFC was established as a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization in 2001. What began as a grassroots group of concerned animal lovers has grown into the county’s largest all-volunteer, no-kill animal rescue an

d welfare organization. In October 2009, the AWLFC opened our first adoption center and office at 1202 East Patrick Street, Suite 13A, in Frederick, MD. This office serves as the headquarters for all AWLFC activities, including cat and dog adoptions, our monthly spay/neuter clinic, education and training sessions, and fund-raising events. Founded on the philosophy that every animal deserves a loving home, and that euthanasia is neither an acceptable nor humane form of managing animal populations, the AWLFC has four core programs designed to reduce pet homelessness and euthanasia rates in the region. In collaboration with local shelters, other rescue organizations, and concerned citizens, the AWLFC provides foster care for cats and dogs and then places them in a permanent home via our adoption process. Working with property owners and concerned citizens, the AWLFC coordinates the only formal Trap/Neuter/Release (TNR) program in Frederick County, Fixing Frederick’s Felines (FFF). TNR involves the humane trapping of feral and free-roaming cats, sterilization, and vaccination, followed by release back to a committed care-giver who provides food, shelter, and necessary medical care. TNR is the only humane way to manage feral and free-roaming cat populations. The AWLFC offers a monthly spay/neuter clinic designed to help low-income families and individuals access affordable spay/neuter and vaccinations for their pets. In addition to the monthly clinic, AWLFC provides financial assistance to pet owners who need help getting needed veterinary treatment for their cat or dog. AWLFC subsidizes both the monthly spay/neuter clinic and financial assistance for people facing financial hardship. The Friends Helping Felines (FHF) Program was created to help give people the means to spay and neuter homeless cats and kittens and place them in forever homes at those times when the Animal Welfare League's foster program is filled to capacity. FHF participants will have access to reduced rates for routine veterinary care, including spay or neuter and rabies vaccination. And, AWLFC helps people get the cats adopted into forever homes.

‼️Our Community FOOD BANK needs your donations ‼️

We are in short supply of dry/wet cat and dog food, along with cat litter and treats.

Our community food bank has helped so many that are having financial difficulties. Sometimes it is because of this food bank that they can still keep their pets.

Who has a well behaved dog who needs a kitty friend? Miss Brown might check all the boxes! She’s 4 1/2 months old and ready to find her forever home. She has also gotten along wonderfully with the nine other felines in her foster home.

Miss Brown is fully vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped. She’s very petite, outgoing, and needs a strictly indoor only home. She was raised on a bottle, so is extremely social. She loves play time as much as snoozing with her hoomans.

Foster mom can be reached at [email protected]

This sweet girl is Daphne.
🐈‍⬛ She will be at our adoption center this Saturday (8/31) from 12-4 for meet and greets! 🐈‍⬛

Daphne was surrendered to FCAC in May with her 3 sweet kittens in tow.

We grabbed her up and cared for her and the kittens and now it’s time for her to find the perfect forever home.

Daphne is very young. Likely only about a year old. She was most likely an outdoor cat in her prior life and had to defend herself very young as she is very afraid of other cats.

But, she LOVES people and is a very affectionate, loving girl. She would likely do fine with a calm dog and will be great with kids.

If you’ve been looking to add a young cat to your home but truly only want one, Daphne is the perfect addition to your family. She’s loyal, smart, observant and affectionate. Just what everyone wants in a 🐈‍⬛ ♥️

Daphne is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all of her vaccinations.

Email [email protected] with questions about this sweet girl or come visit with her Saturday.
