Dobson TNR is a small, private Trap, Neuter, Release feral cats initiative. I am an individual caring for some members of a feral cat colony. I Trap/Neuter/Release and feed the animals who come into my yard. Sometimes, one of the “trapees” doesn’t want to be released. Sometimes a mama has a litter on my property, but the mama doesn’t return. I rescue these kittens, hand raise, and socialize them until they’re ready for adoption. Sometimes there’s an adult in the trap who isn’t too feral, who I can socialize to become someone’s pet. DobsonTNR – Pets Available for Adoption Favorite

Charm City Animal Rescue was founded in 2009 in Baltimore City, Maryland. Our original goal was to help some cats and kittens in our neighborhood who were homeless, but we quickly grew far beyond that tiny mission. CCAR now assists shelters all across the Mid-Atlantic Region by taking those cats who’s time has run out, those who are sick and injured, and those with special needs. We especially rescue Cerebellar Hypoplasia cats when asked, as well as those with other special needs that most rescues do not want to take, such as FIV+ cats. In addition to assisting shelters, CCAR assists the community with trap, neuter, release projects, proving food to low income cat owners, and assisting owners with finding spay/neuter or vet care financial resources. We have no staff, but a group of people who dedicate their time off from day jobs to making sure CCAR succeeds. We get no government or private funding, and work solely off of donations, fundraisers, and adoption fees. In the fall of 2016, we will be celebrating our 1000th adoption!

Helping Washington DC, Northern Virginia, and Maryland with their feral cat population. Metro Ferals is an all-volunteer organization that was established in 1997 to promote non-lethal alternatives to feral cat population control. Wild or feral cats are trapped, neutered and then returned (TNR) to their “home”, where we make sure there is a caretaker who can watch out for them and feed them. Young kittens are rescued, socialized and adopted through our adoption program. We also run a low cost spay/neuter clinic for feral cats and provide assistance to people wishing to TNR the cats they feed and maintain. Metro Ferals MD – Pets Available for Adoption Favorite

Our primary mission is assisting the caretakers of feral (wild) cat colonies who want to do TNR. That means they trap the cats, have them tested for FELV and FIV, vaccinated and altered. Our role is supplying equipment and funding for the vet bills, as well as moral support and information. Whenever possible, kittens and strays are placed in carefully screened adoptive homes (they wait at our vet or in foster homes until they are placed). Feral adults are returned to the colony. Once the colony is “finished”, the caretaker’s role becomes supplying food, water and shelter and picking up any stray that might wander by in search of a handout. Many of the caretakers then become volunteers to help in our fund raising efforts so we can help other colonies! Cat Rescue of Maryland – Pets Available for Adoption Favorite

Rock Creek Cats Inc. is an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization dedicated to helping less fortunate felines in the D.C. area. Our main activity is helping outdoor, unadoptable (feral/wild) cats through what’s known as Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR): humanely trapping them, getting them spayed/neutered and vaccinated, and returning them to their environment, while ensuring they have food and shelter. TNR averts the birth of kittens, prevents the feral population from getting out of control, and reduces the number of cats who end up in overloaded, high-kill shelters. When we come across cats who are good candidates for adoption, we get them appropriate veterinary care and foster them until they are placed in loving, permanent homes.
