We currently have LOTS and LOTS of kittens that need homes!!!

We are also trying to place several PUREBRED cats.

We have two Purebred Torti-point Siamese Female cats.  They 
are both spayed and up to date on all their shots.  They
need to be placed together because they are sisters and are
very bonded.  They will do better in an adult home or with a
family with older children, because young children scare them.
That is the problem they are having in their current home, they
run from the young children.

We also have a Purebred Persian Male.  He is 8 years old, neutered,
and up to date on all his shots.  He is Gray with orange eyes.  His
owner describes him as a "Lap-cat Purr Monster!"  He has been an
only cat his whole life and would probably like to continue to have
all the attention of an only pet.

If you would like more information about any of these cats, PLEASE
call the Montgomery County SPCA at 301-948-4266.

Open House Schedule

The MCSPCA holds Open Houses every Saturday (except when we are doing
adoptions at cat shows) from 1:00 - 4:00 in the afternoon. 

----------

A little about us...

Founded in 1973, the Montgomery County Society for the Prevention of 
Cruelty to Animals is the only "no-kill" animal shelter in the 
Washington, DC area. The MSCPCA provides shelter, food, and medical 
care to about 40 cats at any one time. Unfortunately, our shelter is 
too small for dogs, but we do keep a list of people who have dogs to 
adopt and do telephone referrals for these dogs. We hold adoptions for 
cats every Saturday from 1-4 PM or by appointment. Potential adopters 
may visit the cats and find help making that special match.

Still other cats are helped through our foster network, where 
volunteers open their hearts and homes to cats needing special 
attention. The MSCPCA also runs a low cost spay/neuter program for both 
dogs and cats, helping to reduce the area's staggering number of 
unwanted animals.

Run entirely by volunteers and funded solely through private donations 
and fundraising activites, the MCSPCA in 1994 took in 368 cats, placed 
348 cats and kittens, facilitated hundreds of low cost spay/neuters, 
and handled hundreds of telephone referrals.

Even though we are called the Montgomery County SPCA, we serve the 
entire Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC area.  Don't let our name 
fool you, it doesn't matter where you live, you can come and adopt a 
cat from us.  We have adopted animals to people from Pennsylvania all 
the way to West Virginia.  We also take in animals from the whole 
MD/VA/DC area.
