Meet Mama MARYLAND!
Maryland’s story is one we see far too often. Over a year ago, she was abandoned by her owner and left behind to survive with many others. Thankfully, a kind neighbor stepped in and began caring for Maryland and the growing cat colony, but unfortunately the situation quickly became overwhelming with litter after litter of kittens being born.
Now Maryland and the others have finally made their way to safety, but Maryland needs help urgently. She is an extremely friendly female that is approx 1yr old.
The moment she arrived at the shelter, it was obvious she is VERY pregnant and likely close to giving birth. A loud, stressful shelter is no place for an expecting mama to raise her babies. She deserves a quiet, safe environment where she can finally rest and care for her kittens without fear or chaos surrounding her.
Maryland is in desperate need of rescue & a calm home willing to give this sweet mama a chance. After spending over a year abandoned and struggling to survive, we would love for her babies to be born knowing safety and kindness instead of hardship.
Please help us get Maryland out of the shelter ASAP.NO PULL FEE
