At the Charles-County Animal Care Center: 

197355-Norman is ready for his happy ending! This adorable 3-month-old kitten was part of a trio, and while his two siblings have already found their forever families, Norman knows his turn is coming. He’s just waiting for the right person to walk through the door and realize they’ve been missing a Norman in their life! Norman is hoping for a family who will play wand-toy games with him, rescue his furry mice from their exciting adventures under the couch, and keep the yummy snacks coming. In return, he’ll be your best buddy, professional snuggler, and the perfect partner for watching Super Kitties together. His siblings found their families, and Norman is patiently waiting for his. Come meet this sweet boy and help make his “someday” happen! Adoption hours are Monday-Friday 11am-4pm and Saturday 10am-3pm. To see more animals available for adoption, "like" us on

CiCi is a 4-month-old little slice of fabulous who is ready to leave the shelter and find her forever family. She’s looking for an all-you-can-love home where the daily specials include toys, treats, snuggles, and being spoiled absolutely rotten. CiCi would thrive in a chill household and might even enjoy having another cat around for a little extra companionship.

Come get your own CiCi before somebody else scoops her up! Adoption hours are Monday-Friday 11am-4pm and Saturday 10am-3pm.

34462-Meet Rosie, a 1-year-old Shepherd mix with big feelings, a serious love of toys, and absolutely NO interest in farm life!

Rosie is friendly, loves kids, and thinks every day should involve playtime and throwing toys approximately 847 times. She’s still working on housebreaking, so she’ll need a patient human to help her master the “outside is for potty, inside is for snuggles” routine.

Rosie’s dream job is Director of Toy Acquisition, Head of Zoomies, and Professional Kid-Hanging-Out Specialist. If you’re looking for a sweet, playful girl who wants zero farm duties and 100% family fun, come meet Rosie! Meet her at the Charles County Animal Care Center.

September is Working Cat Awareness Month!

Not every cat dreams of being a lap cat — some would rather clock in. 

Our working cats are independent felines looking for barns, warehouses, workshops and other appropriate properties where they can put their natural talents to work while enjoying a home of their own.

And this month, hiring your newest employee is FREE! 

Throughout September, adoption fees are waived for all working cats.

Give a cat who may be overlooked in a traditional home setting the chance to thrive on their own terms — and gain a hardworking new member of your team in return.

Ready to put someone on the payroll? Don't worry, they accept payment in food, shelter and appreciation.
