My husband and I are volunteers for Town Cats. We went to an event that showcased some of their adoptable cats and decided to help out. We have since become involved as foster parents and have adopted 2 kittens. We enjoy helping out when we can with Town Cats!
Town Cats, Inc is a wonderful organization. This all-volunteer group goes above and beyond to help as many kittens/cats as possible. In 2023 they rescued 65+ Cats from a hoarding situation. Several months later, they rescued 50+ Cats from a colony that was losing their home. Most of these cats have successfully been adopted. Town Cats is in its 26th year! If you are looking for an organization where you can make a difference, this is it!!

Town Cats, Inc is a wonderful cat rescue group. They go above and beyond to help rescue the cats. Recently, TC helped with a hoarding situation of 60+ cats, some friendly, some not. Then, TC rescued a colony of 50+ cats that were about to lose their home. About half have been adopted into loving homes. TC took care of all the medical, etc.
My husband and I fostered a kitten with several health issues. Town Cats made arrangements for him to be seen by a specialist to ensure he received the very best care. With their support, he now is living his best life.

I got my first cat from Town Cats when I had cancer in2023. They found me the most amazing cat that cuddled me from day one. This year I lost my 16 year old dog and decided Hannah (the first one) needed a friend so I adopted Daisy. I have since become a volunteer at many of their events and helped at the sanctuary also. Town Cat saves many cats from horrible situations and they do the impossible most of the time.
Such a great organization! I fostered and then adopted Rocky. He is thriving in his new home with his sister Pepper! Please consider volunteering, fostering, adopting and donating to this worthy cause.
Town Cats is a wonderful organization that works non stop to take care of stray and feral cats , providing shelter, medical care , spay and neutering and everything in between.

These folks are great!! I got my cat from TownCats last year. They guided me on how to incorporate him into my household with other cats.
We first learned about Town Cats at the OCMD convention center. We spotted a little kitten who only had one eye and she needed lots of love! It’s been almost 12 years since we adopted Holly and she is loving her life!! Thank you Town Cats!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Town Cats. When we first saw our Holly at the Holiday Shoppers Fair in Ocean City, Maryland, we knew she would make a perfect addition to our family. Despite having only one eye, as soon as I held Holly I saw what a special girl she was. The volunteers at Town Cats helped to make the adoption process run smoothly. It was so apparent that Chris, Holly's foster mother, had loved her and cared for her until Holly found her forever home. For the past 5 years, Holly has been an integral part of our family. She entertains us with her antics one minute, and then the next she wants to cuddle. I think the volunteers at Town Cats are doing a fantastic job of finding homeless cats their own families and a second chance at life.

I am not just a feral gray cat – I am Mr. Gray (written on behalf of happily saved cat)
Hello… My name is Mr. Gray and yes, I am cat - gray, big, fat cat.
You probably wonder why a cat, with no breed, no name or a home until recently, would write anything. But I want to share my story. How I found my home and my new family.
You see, I was one of the feral cats of the cat community residing in a lovely business park on Route 611 near Ocean City, MD. Yes, you say, many visitors come every year to enjoy a vacation by the beach, but it seems no one really was paying attention to us – community of cats who lived outside and had to defend for ourselves. In people’s defense, we all looked rough and probably no one wanted to care for us. Some people though, who has businesses in the business park, fed us and gave us water. But I was sick all the time on the streets and could not understand why. Plus, I was male and the leader of the pack, and had to fight for other cats in my pack.
One day, this lady moved into one of the shops. First, our pack did not think anything of it. But then she started giving us some yummy food, wet and dry cat food, and fresh water. She also would leave the door to her shop cracked open on a cold or very hot days or rainy days, so we can get warm, cool off or dry off. Most of the pack were scared to come inside, but I was brave and had to check out the inside. It was warm and cozy. She had a chair just for us, kitties, in her shop. Another lady next door trained dogs and was really cool too. I enjoyed lounging on the bench between two shops and annoy the dogs the lady trained because they could not chase after me, and I was not going to run away.
As we were getting more comfortable around people, yet still would not let people touch us. Remember, I was a wild and feral for a long time, and it was so hard for me to learn how to trust humans. One day, I was trapped and put in a crate. I was very scared and thought it was my last day of my all nine lives. I was taken to some weird place with funny smells. I was given something and fell asleep. When I woke up, my ear was tipped. That’s odd, I thought to myself. Few days later, when I finally felt my old self, I was released outside in the same business park. But I did not want to run away – that place was familiar to me, my pack was there, and two ladies who fed me. I started staying in one shop more and more. That lady kept taking me to funny smelling places and they poked me with needles and even inserted something under my skin, maybe to track me. I was also given a collar. I overheard a conversation of people and I think they were talking about me and that I tested positive for FIV. From what I understood and heard about the decease, that would make sense since I was so sick all the time. I looked rough! I was very skinny, my wounds would not heal and were bleeding all the time, I could barely see because my eyes were infected and my lip was a size of Texas. I also had issues with breathing, which made it so hard for me to live on the streets. Another lady kept coming to check on me, she was with Town Cats, and she kept guiding our shop ladies so they can help me.
After many months of medications (yuck), love, patience, and a lot of good food, I felt better and one day I simply jumped into the car of the lady when she was packing to go home and stayed there signaling that I am ready to go home. And guess what? She took me home. Now, I live with her and my other cat siblings. At first, I was so scared. I did not know what it is like to sleep on a warm sofa, or a bed. Or that I no longer need to hide from a fox, rain or snow. I was HAPPY. I found my home. Do not get me wrong, I still have some habits that I am not proud of, like wiping my butt on the carpet instead of grooming myself clean or swatting my siblings once in a while. But I am grateful for every day of my life. I am grateful that I am safe, I can breathe easily now. I can see clearly because my eyes are no longer infected. I can eat without issues because my lip went back to its normal size. I can sleep peacefully without a fear. I am no longer a feral cat. What feral cat? I am Mr. Gray!
By the way, I was not the only cat who was saved from the business park or helped by Town Cats volunteers. There was also Stefani, poor little kitten with a neurological issue. Her head was tilted and she wobbled from side to side. She would never survive in a wild. And other cats would attack her. You know, what? Town Cats lady came by and trapped her. I heard she went to a doctor, got better, and now lives at the Town Cats Sanctuary. How cool is that?!
Then, there was another kitty, who was helped by Town Cats volunteer. Her name is Ruffles. I called her Ruffles because she always looked rough. But one day she looked extra rough. She got in a fight and got bitten by some animal and her head was all bloody. Town Cats went out and searched for Ruffles for hours. Finally, she was found and got doctor’s help she needed. Last time I saw her – she was all better!
And these are only couple stories from one kitty community. There are many more just like that. Town Cats volunteers work hard and diligently to help and save homeless cats in the area.
Great organization! I've volunteered with them for over 7 years and have found everyone to be very caring and thoughtful when dealing with the many cats and kittens that come to our rescue. I personally rescued "Snowball" over 5 years ago. She is such a wonderful part of our family.
After my cat, Vinny died, I fostered a cat for Town Cats. Long story short, I ended up adopting him. Town Cats has been a wonderful group to work with. They have made me feel like family. They are dedicated and generous, and really support each other as well as the community.
I adopted my best friend a year ago after fostering him for 5 month. He was my comfort and solice this summer after ankle surgery and we have become very close. Town Cats has been extremely supportive to me in both fostering and adopting. My current fosters are ready for you to be your best friend, too.
Town Cats is an amazing organization for cats and the community. Cats and kittens are well taken care of and have a catio (patio) where they can explore and play. They came right out to help support cats in our area (have a catch/spay/neuter and release program for feral cats). Truly an amazing organization and incredible people who care for our community and cats/kittens.
I had 2 tuxedo cats die 47 days apart. One was 17 and the other was 15 years old. They were both females. I really wanted to get another female tuxedo cat. All I could find to adopt were males. I contacted Town Cats and they had 3 male tuxedo cats. I was sent photos of them. Two were brothers and had to be adopted together. For various reasons I couldn't adopt 2 cats. The other "tuxie" was named Ripley. In the photo he was so cute! He also had a compelling story.........He was born into a colony on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. He and his brother were rescued by a Town Cats volunteer who happened to be visiting that area and was notified about the cats. When Ripley and his brother were taken to a vet to get vaccinated Ripley had an undiagnosed ear infection. When he got the distemper vaccine he actually got distemper because his immune system was weakened by the ear infection. When I went to Blue Frog Cat Sanctuary to meet Ripley he was still being treated for distemper, although he looked very healthy to me. I was told he had been quite sick and had to be isolated from other cats. The sanctuary actually has a van where cats can be cared for in isolation!
When I met Ripley, it was love at first sight! He let me pick him up and his sweetness was palpable! I knew I wanted to adopt him, however, he needed to finish a medication he was on. I was able to visit him at the sanctuary so we could start bonding with each other. On March 18th 2023 I was able to bring him home. I am happy to say he is a joyful kitty filled with healthy energy and lots of love! He loves to play with his toys and cuddle with me. I am so grateful to Town Cats for bringing Ripley into my life and me into his life! I kept the name "Ripley" because he is a "Believe It Or Not" kind of cat!!!
Town Cats of Ocean City is an incredible organization!! They always go above and beyond to help cats even when they don’t have any room. I fostered to adopt two cats from them this summer and they were very supportive with any questions or concerns I had during the process. Everyone is so friendly!
Town Cats is a great rescue and sanctuary that has been stepping up to help the feral, abandoned, and homeless cats in their community. We have a great team of volunteers, and a beautiful sanctuary for cats who are waiting to find their happily ever after! We have expanded our cat housing this year after taking on two large colony's that needed immediate rescue from dangerous situations. We can always use donations, volunteers, and fosters so we can continue to expand and help more critters!
This coming week we celebrate our 1 year Anniversary of volunteering for Town Cats of Ocean City at Blufrog Farm! This last year we have been humbled, we have fallen in love and felt bittersweet pure happiness as adoptions have happened, and my daughter Avery has learned to serve at just 8 and 9 years old. She’s seen the bigger not so pretty picture of what not spaying and neutering pets causes and she’s devoted to helping the cause. This weekly “work” pays in unconditional love and purrs and the welcome when you walk up to the catio makes your heart burst with joy. The first pics are from late September early October and the rest a few of Avery’s faves from more recently and my personal fave of my little cat whisperer on the Blufrog bench surrounded by her besties. We have met so many amazing like minded people who love cats and want to make a difference but Tori JW Martin, allowed Avery at the age of 8 to be a volunteer without hesitation when I asked and she has supported Avery and praised her efforts. She means so much to us, her heart is amazing and I’m thankful we know her. We are proud to be a small part of this organization. They truly bend over backwards to help all the kitties.
“Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me” (Matt. 25:40)
My mother began volunteering through Town Cats years ago due to her love and passion for abandoned cats and her desire to help control the cat population in her community. The organization offers health care and medicine to cats and kittens, spay/neuter services, adoption options, foster care, vaccinations, and safe places for cats/kittens in need. Even years after my mother's passing, our family still supports the organization and utilizes their many services when we are in need. Smaller organization like this one care for and carry communities like ours. With the rising cost of everything in this country currently, small non-profit organizations like Town Cats have to reach out further than their own small communities to secure funding to run efficiently and provide the care that feral and pregnant cats need. Town Cats just recently helped our family with a growing population of abandoned cats in our housing circle that were having multiple litters of kittens. With their help we were able to spay /neuter/vaccinate 5 plus cats and facilitate the adoption of a litter of kittens from a feral pregnant cat.
Thank you, The Buchheit Family
My wife and I adopted a cat from Town Cats through Pet Smart about 3 years ago and met some wonderful ladies who donated a lot of their time to fostering, rescuing and adopting out cats from around Worcester County in Maryland. Over the years we often donated items or money to them at the local Farmers Market, their fund and materials drives, at Home Shows and Pet Shows and just because it was such a great cause. Over the years we gotten to know a few of those individuals very well and considered them not just cat caregivers but also as good friends.
I am a 15-20 hour per week volunteer at a local library that has a 20,000+ Book Sale every year in July to raise money for the library. I am a co-chairman of this sale that runs for 3 days and draws approximately 1200-1400 patrons. On the last day of the sale this year, we started the sale at 9:00AM with people waiting at the door and an overflowing parking lot. One of the librarians went our behind the library to retrieve empty pizza boxes from the previous day and was surprised by a little ball of black fur sticking out of one of the boxes. It was a small kitten that immediately ran when she opened the door. She tried to follow it but it was just too fast and disappeared. She came in and knowing I had 2 cats told me what she saw. My heart sank. The last thing we needed that day was to have a kitten hit by a car in the parking lot or on the adjoining road. I immediately called Town Cats and left a message on their answering machine and then called my wife and told her about the stray kitten. She immediately called one of the Town Cats girls who in turn immediately called another Town Cats volunteer who lived near the library. Meanwhile, the kitten was spotted in the garden next to the library. We put a dish of water out (it was 92 degrees that day) near where it was spotted and a patron sat nearby to see if the cat would relocate or run away. It stayed in the shade and did drink some of the water and hid in the flowers.
About an hour later as I was working inside at the Book Sale, I felt a tap on my shoulder and there was Chris, a Town Cats volunteer saying "I understand you have a cat problem." I explained the situation and she went out to get her net, a pet carrier and a blanket for over the carrier. We went to the garden where the water was and now a small can of cat food had been placed next to the water and had been partially eaten. However no cat. Then we heard a very tiny "Mew" about ten feet from us in the flowers. Chris went to one side and I the other and as she slowly pushed the flowers away I saw a tiny black face look out at me. I told Chris to put the net down right in front of me and she did. We had caught a cat. Into the library we went with the carrier, the cat in the net and the towel and proceeded to the mens bathroom so we could get it from the net to the carrier without it getting away. Out of that net came a 1 .5 pound emaciated ball of black fur with a cut lip and the pads of it's paws lightly burnt from the heat of the concrete and asphalt. It was heartbreaking but now it had a chance. Off to Town Cats it went to be fostered and cared for with a new chance at life. I called my wife with the good news.
My wife and I talked about the experience that evening and decided that we would help with the cause by fostering the kitten until it could be ready for adoption. So we bought a cat cage, a kitten size litter box, some kitten food and set up shop. The volunteers at Town Cats were delighted with our decision, gave us instructions on what we needed to do and we picked the kitten up 3 days later from a Town Cats foster home. Our new tenant was a boy, approximately 8 weeks old, already looking better, lip healing and purring as soon as he was touched. We named him Stax (like in stacks of books) and determined he was dumped at the library by a thoughtless individual. He was taken to our vet and checked over, dewormed, treated for mites, checked for fleas (NONE!) and given his first shot. His appetite was voracious, he loved being held, played with anything that moved and lived in my office. Our other two cats could smell him under the door and after about 2 weeks we would let them into the office to acquaint themselves while Stax was in the cage. After another two weeks Stax was able to be out of the cage with them for short periods of times. As time went on the cats all got along, accepted him and taught him all their good (and bad) habits. Stax is now 5 pounds and has more than enough energy. He will be neutered next week and yes..... we are foster parent failures.... we have officially adopted him and he will be another forever cat in our house. Thank you Town Cats for your dedication to give so many cats a second chance, good homes and a chance to live a good life.
This rescue is fantastic. I needed help with a mom cat and her babies. My friend recommended I call Town Cats. They responded immediately. They helped me trap them. They came back several times until they were trapped. They got the mom fixed and taken care of. They got vet care for the babies and cared for them until homes were found. These folks work relentlessly. They help everyone who needs it and save as many cats as possible.
I’ve worked with a lot of rescues. I have never seen volunteers work so hard, 24/7, to save as many cats/kittens as possible. They never turn anyone away. I called about a momma and 3 babies under my porch. They responded immediately! Helped me live trap them. Got momma fixed and cared for the babies until they could find them homes. I later found out, they have helped several of my neighbors, as well. They truly do so much with so little.
My husband and I met Chris and Pat from Town Cats when we moved to Berlin 7 years ago. We moved with our 3 senior cats and sadly every year one past on..Because of our love for animals, we always chatted with Town Cat personnel at the Farmers Market, Pet Smart, and various events. They worked so hard and had various items and cat toys for sale to earn funds for the cats. We have since adopted 3 cats from them. Our latest kitten was fostered by Tori. When we drove to her home, I was amazed at the cleanliness and care they were all receiving. There were 2 other volunteers there washing litter pans.
They have and continued to be helpful with any questions we have. They are wonderful people.
My husband found 4 fur baby kittens about a year and a half in the rafters at his work they were only a few weeks old and no mommy in sight. So I did some research and found Town Cats. We could not take care of them because they needed to be bottle fed. So a wonderful lady by the name of Emily Meadows came to our home and took them and did a great job with them . We did visit with the kitties a few times And they all have happy. So grateful to Town Cats and all the volunteers and all they do..
Town Cats goes above and beyond in their compassionate for kittens and cats in the OC area. They work with the community to help socialize homeless kittens and give forever homes to older cats that have been surrendered. Every time I visit their cat sanctuary, it is noticeable how much love spills over to each resident cat/kitten. There is a lot work that goes into maintaining a healthy and engaging home for the cats and they do a wonderful job. I am a donor and a volunteer.
I have been a volunteer with Town Cats for over a year and love to see how the organization helps our community. I have participated in helping trap cats and kittens, bottle feed and socialize kittens, I have attended adoption events, and so much more. This summer I helped build a cat sanctuary; cats who have been surrendered or are terminally ill now have a space to roam freely in an indoor and outdoor enclosed environment. The change in habit has improved the lives of all of the cats who get to live there immensely. The experience is beyond rewarding.
Town Cats is wonderful! I have called on them on several occasions to help with feral cats on my property. They have always been accommodating and helpful and I know how overwhelmed they are with feral cats in our community. The work they do and the compassion they show is amazing.
I came to know about this group when I had a cat that was ill and I needed information and support. Christine and Tori were so caring and helped me find the support I needed. I wanted to give back so I started volunteering at the cat rescue. These ladies really care about every single cat they rescue and do everything they can to take care of them and find them homes. For those that are not adoptable they find a home at the rescue.
I had a friend that had several litters of cats near his home. I referred him to Town Cats and they were able to rescue them.
I am impressed with their dedication to the cause.
Town Cats is a small group of energetic men and women who have helped with spay and neuter of cats in my neighborhood. They have trapped some cats and gotten them fixed so we do not have stray kittens. Town Cats will get medical help for the cats and kittens that are rescued. Then the cats are put up for adoption and can find their "furever" homes. I have fostered and adopted several of the rescued cats.

Town Cats is a small cat rescue group that helps our community by trapping, spay and neutering, and then releasing or keeping the cats and getting them adopted. I have met the volunteers that work in Town Cats and they are hard working and dedicated people. They work many hours to feed feral cat colonies, maintain cat sanctuaries, get the cats healthy, work at adoption events, work at the local Farmer's Market and Convention Center events, and at PetSmart feeding the cats and cleaning their condo homes and playing with them. Town Cats have a website and a Facebook page where you can see what they are doing. Town Cats helps people care for feral cats. One thing they do is help people make shelters to keep the outside cats and kittens warm and dry. If someone has a question about their cats, they help to the best of their ability. This non-profit is a service to the community.
I’ve been impressed with the dedication shown by the ladies of Town Cats. My wife and I visit the Ocean Pines Farmer’s Market nearly every Saturday morning, all year round. There’s unfailingly a cadre of Town Cats volunteers standing at their booth, chatting with cat owners, offering advice, and fundraising though the sale of an array of cat toys, treats, and miscellany – much of it handmade and donated. Given the number of lost, stray and feral kitties they must encounter over the course of a year, I can’t help but admire the time and energy they dedicate to their favorite critters. Town Cats is a real asset to the Ocean Pines community!
A starved and frightened female cat had been showing up in the yard late in the night for a couple months. One night she approached me for help. What could I do? Town Cats came to her rescue! They advised me on getting her safely confined and how to get her checked for a chip.
"Stella", who turned out to be a very sweet, smart kitty, and already familiar with litter boxes, food bowls and snuggly chairs, must have been outside and terrified for a long time.
Town Cats found her a foster home and is now letting her get ready for adoption. Stella - and I - will be forever grateful for the kind volunteers at Town Cats.
Town cat is wonderful organization that helps find homes for cats that need help. They have wonderful, caring volunteers such as Liz and Susan who work hard to raise money for vet bills and help the community with affordable spaying and neutering and foster kitties! A thousand thanks!
Town Cats of Ocean City is an amazing group. It is run by Susan Mohler who is a very enthusiastic person and it is passed on to the members. The group loves cats and are very caring people. Town Cats is highly regarded in the Ocean City area. Any cats/kittens found and fostered by Town Cats are super lucky. After being cared for and socialized they are adopted into their forever home. A win win!
These wonderful people tirelessly raise funds to pay vets for medical and surgical care needed . Some of the Town cats members even take stray cats into their homes and feed and care for them out of their own pockets. I am so happy that we have this organization here.
Town Cats deserve a 5 rating because their volunteers tirelessly continue to find ways to raise money to pay for vet bills. They partner with local organizations to help provide affordable spay/neuter access in the community and they often drive 2+ hours each way to the spay/neuter runs. A million thanks to Town Cats’ volunteers and the organization’s mission.
I have personally witnessed the tireless devotion of the volunteers at Town Cats. The fostering, fund raising, and veterinary visits are just the tip of the iceberg. They keep the kitties healthy and happy while finding forever homes for these little cuties. It’s wonderful that this organization helps little creatures and gives them a chance for a wonderful life!
I know first hand that this group actively rescues unwanted cats and kittens. I know a couple of members who have foster-cared several cats in their homes. Great group that really cares about rescuing cats, and making sure they are spayed & neutered.
Love the work and dedication of this group! They certainly ensure the kittens and cats in the area are taken care of. Keep up the great work!
Town Cats was wonderful in helping me meet and finally adopt my new best friend! Everyone involved went out of their way to make sure that we were a good match and that our newest family member was well adapted to his furever home. I would recommend to anyone looking to adopt to check in with Town Cats. They advised me on everything that was needed, and my family and I are thrilled with our kitty
“Shadow!” Many thanks to Town Cats!
Town Cats works hard to take care of feral cats by trapping, neutering, and releasing.
They also do a great job fostering kitties and getting them ready for adoption. An excellent non-profit organization!
Wonderful and organized group.They have such a passion for their cause and have saved countless Cats.The president has really solidified this group and continues to raise funds to do good in their community.
Town Cats of Ocean City is run by Susan Mohler who is a highly energetic and enthusiastic person. Of course, the common denominator of this group is that they all love and care about cats. Also on social media if there is a call for help the inquiries are directed to contact Town Cats. This group will go out in bad weather, late at night when a call is received regarding kittens abandoned on the side of a busy road. No task is too small. My two neighbors both fostered pregnant cats and later their kittens. I have personally visited the different cat families. They are highly regarded in the Ocean City area. Those kitties are mighty lucky to be in the care of such a wonderful group!
Such a pleasure to see the photos and stories posted on Facebook. Most of them are happy and heart-warming but sometimes we see real glimpses into the heart-renching moments homeless cats live through. Without great local organizations to help with TNR, adoptions, fostering, etc, I can't imagine how tragic so many innocent lives would be.
This is a great organization. We have done multiple fosters with them and they made sure we had everything we needed. I enjoy working them to help all the kitties have a better life.
We adopted a wonderful kitten last year from Town Cats of Ocean at the Berlin, MD PetSmart. SHE'S AMAZING! Our (now giant) furry friend, Kia has been a wonderful addition to our family and it could not have been possible without the hardworking volunteers at Town Cats.
I have been a foster with Town Cats for 2 1/2 years now - fostering over 40 cats and kittens. Everyone I’ve worked with at Town Cats truly cares and will do everything in their power to help any animal. Fostering has been a rewarding experience. I’m fortunate to be able to foster and to do so with such a great organization. If you are able to foster or volunteer to help in any way, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Town Cats.
Town cats is a great nonprofit organization. They work together to care for stray cats and give them the care that they need. We found several stray kittens and that’s where our time with town cats started. They helped with the medical expenses and guided us on how to care for them all. We ended us fostering a couple more cats as well, and even kept some for ourselves. We couldn’t have done it without town cats.
Town Cats is an awesome organization! The volunteers are very dedicated to the well being of the cats. When my son found 7 kittens on the side of the road. Town Cats did not hesitate to help me get them the medical help they desperately needed. Town Cats also found loving homes for all seven kittens! Since then we have become a foster family adopting 3 Town Cats.
Town Cats is a great, grass roots not-for- profit organization that fosters cats and kittens in volunteers’ own homes. They take great care to socialize future family members. I adopted a kitten from them and she is a wonderful new member of our family!
A great organization, run by a great network of loving volunteers. The cats that are saved, fostered and adopted through this group get the upmost in care, time and attention.
Having recently adopted a kitten from Town Cats, I can attest to the quality of screening and scrutiny given in selecting potential adopters. This group makes sure that each cat goes to a caring, and safe, home situation...and if things don’t work out, for whatever unforeseen reason, they will lovingly welcome that cat back to their fostering arms.
I’d give Town Cats more than 5 stars, if I could!
Town cats is a wonderful organization. I have been volunteering with Town cats for about a year now and am amazed at all they do. Everyone works together to care for stray cats/kittens in the community. They make sure that each cat is spayed/neutered and given proper medical care and then work diligently to find each feline a home! All of the volunteers are great and support each other and the organization through volunteering, fundraising, adoption events and fostering. Over the past year I have seen Town cats make a difference in the lives of many cats, kittens and humans and I am glad to be a member of this organization. Thank you Town cats!
I was introduced to Town Cats of Ocean City shortly after I moved to Ocean Pine in August 2019,. I had brought my SPCA cat with me. As she sometimes goes out, I always leave dry and wet food on the porch.
Shortly after I'd been there a few months, I started to notice some four footed visitors! One of them was a little black cat who sat at the bottom of my front steps and would meow at me for food. After a few weeks of this, I asked the Town Cat folks what should I do ? They suggested TNR - Trap, neuter/spay , and release. So I set up the trap where I fed him and lo and behold, he fell for it ;-0
Off he sent to be neutered and get his first set of shots. As it was now November, I decided to keep him in my house in a cage. He adjusted quite nicely and eventually I left the cage door open while I was home. After his initial shock at touching a real floor, he started to investigate the house and decided he rather liked it! He quickly progressed to making my bed his bed, is quite the snuggler, and I never had a litter box issue with him - it's like he'd always used one.
So if you think that stray cat hanging around your house would never make a good pet, think again !
Contact Town Cats if you have any strays lingering around your house or find any abandoned cats or kittens. Their mission is to help abandoned animals find forever homes.
In addition to admirable and compassionate efforts to trap, spay and neuter homeless cats, working long hours in all kinds of weather, the volunteers at Town Cats carry out an extensive rescue effort for injured and needy cats and kittens. They have an active and effective adoption service and their efforts don't stop with adoption - I found them to be a constant source of useful information about caring for cats and kittens after I adopted a cat from their program. I am amazed at all I see these caring individuals doing - they are a dedicated and remarkable organization. Susan KG
I had an excellent experience withTown Cats. It was very easy to make my application and they delivered my kitten right to my door. Very friendly to deal with. My kitten came with all his records up-to-date and a very nice file of them.
A great organization, I have adopted and donated multiple times. These people love with all of their hearts and have a passion for helping cats in all areas, I could not be happier than to help their great cause! Thanks Town Cats!
Town Cats of Ocean City, MD does a fantastic job. Their love of cats can be seen in how they take care of feral colonies, their volunteering at the Berlin Petsmart and the fostering of many homeless cats. What a fantastic group!
I live in Shippensburg, PA and am involved in TNR, fostering, and rescue. I am a firm believer in TEAMWORK; it's essential in saving precious lives.
Too many times I get involved in situations that require the help of a rescue. I am unable to do everything so I reach out via social media (most times) in hopes of finding avenues for adoptions. Sometimes I get lucky and other times not.
I am very blessed and appreciative of the help and support from Town Cats Inc. I needed placement for 3 kitties so they would not have to be returned back to their colony or caregiver. I was beyond thankful when my plea was answered by Lori Wagman who is a foster for Town Cats Inc.
I was very nervous as I had never met Lori, the rescue was out-of-state, and never had prior dealings with Town Cats Inc. But, let me tell you, this experience was amazing. Lori came to my house to pick up the kitties, kept me updated with pics too, let me know when they were going to be the adoption center and when they were adopted. How refreshing !!! And what an amazing rescue and foster mom too.
My experience was definitely beyond what I ever imagined.
I was able to attend a recent adoption event which included volunteers, cats and kittens from Town Cats. I was delighted by the knowledgeable and friendly volunteers who gave great information about the cats and kittens they had present. The cats and kittens were in clean and neat cages that were brightly colored and well kept. The temperament of the cats and kittens amazed me as they were easy to handle, comfortable, playful and incredibly friendly. Town Cats seemed to have a great rapport with PetSmart staff, who sponsored the event. I was also impressed with the diversity of the cats, some old and some young. I was able to witness the adoption of an older cat who had been waiting for his forever home for a substantial period of time, and the smiles of the volunteers and family who adopted him. Town Cats does a great job of making sure adoptions are a good match with opportunities to meet and greet cats in a private room with toys, and a comprehensive (yet, not long) application for adoption. They had all of the cat's records and spay/neuter information available at the event. I was very impressed with Town Cats, my experience was delightful.
I have adopted 3 cats over the past 7 years from Town Cats Inc. The care and concern provided for all their rescues is incredible. I am amazed by the dedication of the volunteers in this organization. They obviously love what they do as well as providing a great service for the community. They have saved countless lives of kittens and cats who would not have survived without this wonderful group.
Town Cats has helped me out both times I needed to find homes for unwanted kittens in our neighborhood. The second most recent litter of 5 abandoned kittens was accepted at a busy time when our public shelter was already overwhelmed. The little kittens have a better chance to be healthy and be shared with so many more good responsible and pre-screened people who will look for their next cat to adopt at Town Cats! Their program and foster homes are appreciated by our community!
I adopted my cat Bash from Town Cats, and he is just the best.
They arranged to have him neutered for me after the adoption, and when he was having trouble with peeing on things that he wasn't supposed to be, Chris offered advice and we got him back on track.
I adopted two young adult sisters for Town Cats and I couldn’t be happier. I have had them for all of 3 weeks and they have stolen my heart! Town Cats was truly amazing and super helpful in preparing me for my new additions. The best cat rescue in town!
I cannot express how happy I am! I reached out to three different organizations here on the shore and Town Cats was so quick to go above and beyond. Not only did they respond to my requests quickly, but they came out to my house to meet my cat and dog and figure out the best little pal for my family!
To give a short backstory, I was hesitant bringing a new cat into my home as my current cat “Darcy” was very obsessed with me (this is putting it lightly!! LOL) I was worried a new cat would disrupt their happiness or my home would seem threatening to the new cat, but Chris and Lori eased my mind quickly. My goal was to find the perfect cat that would be a companion to Darcy and entertain her while I wasn’t around. They talked to me for days trying to figure out who would be a perfect addition to my craziness, and we finally decided on one of their Barn Cats. I was nervous to be honest. I felt I was in a unique position because I knew I didn’t need a cat that was going to cuddle me all day (ALREADY HAD ONE!) but I didn’t want to end up with a cat that was unhappy moving into my home!! Chris assured me Georgie was going to be the best cat, that he may take time to warm up, but that the Barn Cats are just as capable of bringing happiness to the home. MAN am I glad I listened to her. Georgie has so quickly become a perfect fit in my family. He lays with my dog and plays with the other cat, and even lets me pet him for as long as I want.
This whole experience has truly reminded me that you can’t judge a book by it’s cover. The Barn Cats may not be the first choice because of their background, or lack of enthusiasm during visits, but so what? So are some people we meet!!! (LOL) If I would have just assumed the Barn Cats were the unlovable kind, I would be missing out on the most loving cat I could have ever imagined. Thank you all for such a wonderful gift.
Town Cats is a group that is very active in the community. Adoption,spay/neuter, helping with cat health care, building outdoor shelters and educating the community on the needs of cats and kittens are services provided by the group. Town Cats is an all volunteer group that has served the community for 20 years and is looking for more volunteers to continue and grow.
I have dealt with Town Cats for several years and they have always responded to my needs quickly and graciously.
I know people who have had feral cats, barn cats, and domesticated cats that had not been spayed or neutered. They either could not afford the procedure or did not have the means to trap them. The Town Cats lent me traps for the cats and made arrangements for them to go to spay/neuter clinics. I also have a friend who has needed veterinary care for her cats and couldn’t afford it
and Town Cats have authorized care at the vet for her cats and paid for the visits. They have also taught me to build a shelter for a feral cat and given me the supplies needed for the shelter tub. They are an awesome, caring, dedicated group of people who help any cat in need. God bless them!
I have an older cat who had lens luxation/glaucoma & needed his eye removed. Town Cats helped me with the surgery & Chip is now pain free! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Having just lost one of our sweet kitties to illness, we saw a picture of "Sterling" on social media via Town Cats of Ocean City. I immediately fell in love with that sweet face. I contacted them, we filled out an application and, within days, "Cooper" (as he is now called) was ours! He's crazy, but we love him! Since then, we have continued to support this most worthy organization through occasional monetary donations when possible.
Town Cats is a wonderful organization. Such hard working, dedicated, selfless people working towards the same goal.
This is a great rescue group that has been around a long time and has a lot of expertise to offer the public in rescuing and caring for cats. I adopted "Snowball" from Town Cats and she is a wonderful addition to our family!
It has been a pleasure to work with the ladies at Town Cats! They are extremely knowledgeable about and really care for cats that have been abandoned. They work tirelessly at TNR, and adoption, give up their homes and time to care for animals people abandon, don't care about, or are downright cruel to. These women are also experts at caring for their kitties and pass that knowledge on to adopting "parent(s)" and provide followup to make sure that new "families" are happy and growing together.
Town Cats is celebrating 20 years of service to the community this year, 2018. They are the original and for the most part of the 20 years the only TNVR group providing low cost options to Ocean City, Ocean Pines, Berlin and the surrounding communities. I am impressed with the level of commitment, passion and knowledge the ALL VOLUNTEER group demonstrates. It is good to know that there are some people that still do things because it is the right thing to do!
Please see the cat I adopted from Town Cats. He was found living under somebody's deck until Town Cats stepped in and gave him the medical care he needed. Look how handsome he is today! Our family would not be complete without the love of this fella. Thank You Town Cats!!!
I found out about Towncats when I found out that my big beautiful black 8 year old cat was dying. I talked with Chris about adopting another black cat. The one I chose was a semi feral big black one eyed 2 year old. I also agreed to foster/train a sweet black girl 2 year old girl to walk on a leash. It took a little time for the boy Taji to become comfortable. The girl Rosie did learn to walk on a leash and has since found her home with me. I became a volunteer and have added cats from towncats as I have lost mine. My son max also has adopted his son from towncats. Max is a dog.
I was asked from Town Cats to help with fostering a litter of kittens. Not having much experience with kittens, I was educated on what to do. I took in a litter of four girls that were found outside and pretty much eating whatever they could find. We believe at the time, they were about 6 weeks old when they were trapped and brought to my house. They were extremely small , malnourished and sick. With the help of towncats and the Vets , we were able to get them up to speed with their weight , nutrition and get them well again.
Town Cats volunteers were there to help every step of the way until the girls were ready to go.
We adopted out three of the girls and my husband and I decided to keep one for ourselves. So yes , I became a foster failure but it was one of the best things we ever did.
That was over 2 years ago and I decided to help towncats and stay on as a volunteer. This organization really does care about its volunteers and about its cats and community. I have seen them grow over the years with more volunteers and more cats adopted out each year.
I am honored to work with them and honored to be part of their organization. Every person in this group is a volunteer which says a lot about how they love what they do.
I have been a volunteer with Town Cats for a year. Such a hard working group! I also adopted an adorable young cat from Town Cats. They were supportive all through the adoption process and afterwards.
We first "met" Town Cats Inc in 2013, when we were in Ocean City for another event. We visited their adoption booth at the Convention Center, and fell in love with one of the kitties there. The staff was very friendly, professional, and clearly cared very much about their kitties! We adopted two youngsters from Town Cats in 2013, and were so pleased with the outcome, that we adopted two more from Town Cats in 2016. All of the staff were very helpful in the entire process and they take the time to follow up with us on how our kitties are doing. We absolutely love everyone at Town Cats. I feel that this organization goes above and beyond in caring for cats and kittens who might otherwise perish, and works diligently to find homes for all of the cats and kittens that they rescue. They are a valuable resource for the community that they serve as well as for the animals that they rescue, care for and adopt out! I highly recommend them to anyone looking to add a cat (or two) to their family!
To start off, I had a Feral cat problem in my neighborhood. I had gone to the owners of the mobile park and gave them information about the TNR program that I had printed off a website. They had no interest, I even offered to pay for the spay and neutering. Still no interest. So I called several organizations (more then 10), I either got no response, was told they didn't have the volunteers to help or their shelters were full (which is understandable). I finally got a call back from Chris Aumont of Town Cats of OC. I told her my situation and even though they were short of help she came to my house after dark with cages to trap the cats. She spent time with me , showed me how to use , where and how to set the traps, and told me the sequence of the TNR. If not for Chris calling me back the cats would probably still be in that neighborhood having litter after litter. I was in awe of the structure and coordination of this establishment! Rounding up the feral cats and ensuring a safe delivery to the vets for spay and neutering is not an easy process. But they made it look easy! I was never a part of something like this. The staff are so appreciative of our help. The dedication and compassion of Town Cats is not only amazing but heartfelt. I have considered quitting volunteering because it's heart breaking to me to see such neglect and abuse but then I realize we all feel this way and that's why we stay and trudge through this. They need us!! Town cats has made my retiring very rewarding! I am so thankful Town Cats reached out to me and helped me with my Feral problem. I've recently moved from that neighborhood but on my last visit a friend told me he hasn't seen one Feral cat. What a success!! Trapping is just one task they do, their mission is to help any free roaming, abandoned cat. They have adoption services, fostering, and many fund raisers to help and educate people about our Feral population. I've had so many people thank me for volunteering. Being an official volunteer now I'm proud to tell people I'm a part of Town Cats of OC! The cats need our help and Town Cats is there!! Thank you Town Cats!!
My husband and I were looking for a companion for our dachound Minnie. Our older dachound had passed away and she was lonely. We talked it over and decided we would like to adopt a kitten. When we saw the picture of Alex on line we knew he was meant to be our new family member. Alex foster family gave him such a wonderful start in life. We give Town Cats all the credit for his fun loving disposition. He a Minnie are best of friends. They do everything together. You will see in the pictures even sleep together. We cannot say evough good things about the volenteers at Ocean City Town Cats. Janet and Norman Schultz
Amazing volunteer run organization! They have done so much to help with feral cats in our community!
Town Cats of OC was so easy to work with and everyone has been very helpful. I found my 2 kitties on their website, filled out the application for adoption, and was able to make arrangements to meet them the next day. They are both adorable and have quickly become a part of our family. Thanks Town Cats of OC for helping us find our new family members!
It was about 2 years ago now that I discovered town cats and adopted Colby from them who they rescued from a dangerous situation. Towncats is an amazing group of volunteers who helps gets the cats healthy and vetted and spayed and neutered before placing them in the right homes, and makes such a difference in our community! I can’t say enough good things about town cats and recommend them to all my family and friends
I love the work that my friends at Town Cats is doing to rehome local area stray cats. This is a great non-profit to support if you love cats and want to help support a group that loves cats and wants to find them good homes.
I've seen various volunteers for this organization and they are always so friendly and truly believe in their cause. Such a great group of people!
