Once again Talbot Humane is going CAT CRAZY with a 100 Feline Challenge to the community. The goal- to place 100 cats and kittens into new forever homes by September 30th. Waiving the usual adoption fee which ranges from $25-$75, during this challenge the adoption fee is to donate cat or kitten food to help provide care for the many cats still in need of a new home. Our cat population has remained over 200 for most of the summer.  Our hope is to bring awareness to the plight of cats and kittens in our area as well as find homes for the many homeless pets waiting at Talbot Humane. All cats and kittens are altered, vaccinated, tested for FeLV/FIV and microchipped prior to adoption.  So, as you can see, you are not only finding a new best friend, but, you have saved $250-400 verses that cat or kitten “Free to a good home” in the paper.  For more information on one of the many pets for adoption or on how you can volunteer, contact Talbot Humane at (410)822-0107.

We all need a hearty breakfast to start our day, especially on Saturday, right?  Well, we have the solution- on Saturday September 7th  for only $7  come have breakfast with us at Applebee’s of Easton.  You will receive a pancake breakfast- cakes, sausage and a drink to benefit the animals of Talbot Humane!  Purchase your tickets NOW at Talbot Humane, at any of our outings around town or that morning at the door.  We hope you choose to dine with us, 8AM-10AM and make a difference for the homeless pets of Talbot Humane.

The afternoon of Sunday August 4th was definitely all about the dogs (and cats!) at Bannings Tavern in Easton.  Chef Mangasarian and his staff opened their doors to Talbot Humane and local animal lovers in an effort to raise funds for homeless pets.  Pints from Eastern Shore Brewing, hot dogs and home made dog biscuits were a hit, raising more than $700 for the animals in a few short hours. We wish to thank Bannings Tavern, Eastern Shore Brewing and Kelley Distributors of Easton for your generosity and support. Yet another example of our wonderful community giving back to Talbot Humane!

For the entire month of August, Good Dogs Grill is Rounding UP for the Animals of Talbot Humane.  Get your taste buds set friends, with a menu filled with unique ways to serve up a hot dog or burger, you could eat your way through the month and help the animals all at once!

All you have to do to support their efforts is have lunch or dinner at Good Dogs Grill on Rt 50 (you know, here in Easton in the old Tastee Freez building), and tell the cashier to round up for the animals! It truly is just that simple.

We are thrilled to partner with yet another local business in our area. Just one more example of the community working together to make a difference for the animals and citizens in our area.

We understand adopting a new pet brings a number of expenses such as food, litter, a wellness check at the veterinarian, flea and tick treatment and so on.  In an effort to place the more than 180 cats in our care into new loving homes we have drastically lowered the adoption fees to encourage adoption.

When you adopt from Talbot Humane, especially during the times when our shelter is at capacity, you are not only saving the life of the animal you adopt, you are also saving those still waiting for a home.  At Talbot Humane, we believe it is our obligation to place every adoptable pet into a new home.  This mission is not easy, but with your help it can be accomplished.

For every animal entering our adoption program, we spend approximately $100 on medical care.  For sick animals or those with special needs, this cost rises greatly.  When you add in expenses such as food, litter, and staffing to care for the more than 1,300 animals which enter our care annually, the cost per animal is significant.  On top of the monetary expense, studies show for every day an feline resides in a shelter situation, their chance for illness rises by 3%.    This is why the support of our community through donations and adoption is so vital!

For more information on how to adopt or help the multitude of wonderful felines available, please stop by, call or email us today!  If we all do a little, together we make a huge difference for the animals.
