Free Cats And Kittens At Baltimore Humane Society

REISTERSTOWN, MD — Around the state, 20 animal control and adoption centers are offering free cat and kitten adoptions through the end of July in hopes of helping 2,000 cats and kittens find homes. The Baltimore Humane Society is among those participating in the free adoption event, called the "Maryland 2,000."

The promotion coincides with the deluge of kittens born during the summer months.

Now in its second year, the Maryland 2,000 promotes cat and kitten adoptions during this busy time by offering felines for free during the month of July.

Adoptions increased by 26 percent altogether at the shelters that participated in 2017 compared with the year before, and they were able to help 2,395 cats and kittens find homes.

“Cats make terrific companions,” Christine Decorse, executive director of Baltimore Humane Society, said in a statement. “Whether you’re looking for a lap cat or an active kitten, now is the perfect time to visit your local animal shelter and take advantage of the waived adoption fees. Felines of all ages, personalities and activity levels are just waiting for a chance to be part of a family.”

Here are the shelters participating in the Maryland 2,000 during July 2018:

• Allegany County Animal Shelter
