Talbot Humane is so proud to announce we have joined forces with fellow Maryland  humane and animal control facilities to place 2,000 cats and kittens in new homes during the month of July!  Fees will be waived at all of these facilities and each one will have other special incentives. 

For the month of July, Talbot Humane FELINE adopters will receive:

• No adoption fee

• Free post adoption wellness exams from participating veterinarians:  All Pets Veterinary Hospital, Easton Veterinary Clinic, Community Animal Hospital, Mid-Atlantic Cat Hospital, Spay Now, Inc., Pet Health Clinic.

• Starter bag of food

• Cat goodie bag
  

Our open admission shelter could not do all we do without the support of adopters, donors, volunteers and well wishers.  If you are considering adoption of a new cat or kitten, July is the right time to fall in love! We can’t wait to break this number and place these needy pets in loving homes, with your help!

The Following Shelters are Participating: 

Due to the overwhelming number of cats and kittens still in our care, Talbot Humane has drastically cut the fees for adoptions through the end of 2014!  All felines young and old, big and small have an adoption fee of only $10! This is in an effort to help the adopters with the costs associated with a new pet- wellness visit at the vet, food, toys, beds, litter pans etc., and to help find our beloved kitties new forever homes.  The application process remains the same, so apply today! The process takes 1-2 business days (often less!) Stop by today and fall in love with one of our MANY sweet cats.  Visitation at our adoption center begins daily at 11AM, or stop by PetSmart of Easton to visit with those at the Cat Adoption Center inside the store.

We adopted him from you three years ago. I don’t know if you remember, but he and his brother were called “snuggly” and “wuggley” or something similar. We now split his time between Bonita Springs, FL, and Bowie, MD. His mentor and BFF, Mike the JRT, passed away at 14 of Hemangiosarcoma. So he is our only boy, and according to my son, the MOST spoiled dog he has ever seen. He is well trained and gets along well with others. He even gets a gold star for leaving the bunny rabbits and squirrels alone with the command “leave it.”
You would be proud of him. He is a beautiful specimen of an animal in perfect health.
Thanks again.

“We couldn’t get the dog to stop chewing the carpet, so we just chained him outside.  Now he’s barking and digging holes.”

                        “Our 8 year old cat has recently stopped using the litter pan…”

                                                                   “I am here to give you my puppy,  he keeps going to the bathroom in the house.”

Statements like these are things we hear often at Talbot Humane.  The thing is,with a little guidance, a visit to the veterinarian or trainer, and a little work on the part of the family many of the issues pet owners face can be corrected!

While our mission speaks to preventing pet overpopulation, preventing acts of cruelty and neglect and providing a safe haven for animals of our community, another important goal is pet retention. All too often pet owners do not reach out to their local shelters, trainers or veterinarians until the problem is either unmanageable or they simply no longer want to deal with the issues. Talbot Humane wishes to be a resource for pet owners having problems. In cooperation with our local veterinarians, trainers and other animal related resources in our area, our hope is to offer solutions to pet problems such as litter box issues, inappropriate barking, destructive behavior, socialization and so on. The ultimate goal- pets stay in the home and reduce the number of animals entering shelters in our area.

If you are a pet owner experiencing problems and are in need of guidance, please contact us today. Please email Dayniese Hurley at Dayniese@talbothumane.org or call (410)822-0107 and state that you are calling regarding the behavioral helpline. We want to help keep the 2 and 4 legged members of your family together!

Last November, two deserving kittens needed your help. Thanks to your generosity, both Clint and Lomax received the surgeries they required.
