Adoption Policy

Introduction To Adopting Thank you for thinking of AWLMC and our cats when considering adoption. We have many cats and kittens to choose from and hope that one will steal your heart and become a part of your family and life. The AWLMC adoption program ensures that our cats and kittens are placed into responsible and loving forever homes. Cats can live up to and even beyond 20 years. When deciding to adopt a cat or kitten please keep this time commitment in mind. Pets are part of the family and they need to be considered when decisions are made that change your household. A yearly visit to the veterinarian for a general check-up and vaccinations is necessary to ensure your cat is and remains healthy. We hope the information provided here gives you an understanding about AWLMC and helps you make an informed decision on adopting. We have cats of various ages, looks, and personalities. Some of our cats play with and do well living with other pets while others prefer to be the only cat in the home. Some of our cats need an adults only home, while others will thrive in a busy active household. We talk with you and take all of this into consideration when helping you look for a new furry family member. Most of our adult cats are in our shelter in Olde Towne Gaithersburg. Some adult cats live in foster homes and come to the shelter just for an adoption appointment. All of our cats less than one year old are in foster homes and come to the shelter just for adoption appointments. Because kittens do best with a playmate their own age, our kittens generally are adopted in pairs. However, each adoption is treated individually and occasionally exceptions are made. You can speak with an adoption counselor about your case and what would be best. What AWLMC Expects of You If you find a cat or kitten on our website and would like more information, please email our adoptions team at adopt@awlmc.org. An adoption counselor will correspond with you and email you an appli
