About Rude Ranch Animal Rescue
Rude Ranch Animal Rescue, Inc. was founded in 1997 in response to the desperate plight of abused and feral cats in the Maryland area. Our goals are to find loving, permanent homes for all adoptable animals that have been placed under our care; to provide a safe haven and rehabilitation to feral and neglected cats rescued from abusive situations; and to put an end to needless euthanasia because of pet over population.
What Rude Ranch Animal Rescue Does
 | Pet Adoptions |
| It is our goal to find a special home for each animal in our care. We conduct adoptions on an appointment basis. All potential adoptors must complete an adoption application and go through an interview screening process. Our goal is to ensure a long term compatible relationship for the animal and the family. | |
| Feral Cat Rescue |
| Our feral cat rescue program accepts cats rescued from city parks and playgrounds that are at risk of suffering violence. All cats must be sterilized, vaccinated, and tested for FeLV and FIV before entering the program. | |
| Feral Colony Management Assistance |
| We will aid feral cat colony caregivers with Trap/Neuter/Vaccinate/Release (TNVR) program advice. We can also assist with low cost spay/neuter on a case by case basis. | |
| Care for FIV Cats |
| We will accept FIV cats on a limited basis. All cats must be sterilized and vaccinated before admittance. A donation to cover future costs may be required. |
Adopting from Rude RanchRude Ranch Animal Rescue schedules all adoptions on an appointment basis.

Then give us a call at 410-798-9559 or e-mail us at Adopt@RudeRanch.org for an appointment to meet the animal. Rude Ranch Animal Rescue requires all applicants to fill out an adoption application. Each applicant will be required to participate in an adoption interview, sign an adoption contract; and contribute an adoption fee. All animals are spayed or neutered and have received all applicable shots before leaving the shelter. In addition, all cats and kittens have been tested for Feline Immunovirus (FIV) and Feline Leukemia (FELV) and are negative unless otherwise noted. All dogs are tested for heartworm. Rude Ranch Animal Rescue makes every effort to ensure the adoption process results in a successful match for the adopter and the adoptee. A full explanation will be provided if we feel the match would not be in the best interest of both parties. Owner Give-UpsRude Ranch Animal Rescue realizes that sometimes you cannot keep your pet. Rude Ranch accepts pets from owners as space becomes available. The person relinquishing the pet must provide all vet records and sign a release transferring guardianship to Rude Ranch Animal Rescue. A donation may be required to cover necessary vet and care expenses.
