Adoption Application

Directions: Once you select a cat that you would like to adopt, print the form below using your browser's print button. Fill out the form (remember to write down the cats name!) and bring it to the shelter during our regular adoption hours for review. Our regular adoption hours are Saturdays (except holidays) Noon - 3:00 pm. Some of the cats listed on our adoption page are cared for in foster homes. We recommend calling the shelter ahead of time so we can arrange for the cat you are interested in to be at the shelter.

If you have any questions about our adoption process give us a call at (410)798-9559 or E-mail us at: Adopt@RudeRanch.org
