American Shorthair Cats Available for Adoption in Pikesville, Maryland

Our rescue is based out of Pikesville, Maryland!

We typically do not adopt more than 45 minutes away from Pikesville, so please bear that in mind!

Peggy Sue is one of Mary Jane's five kittens. This sweet girl is a playful and outgoing darling who loves toys, running around like crazy, and wrestling with her siblings.

Please consider adopting Peggy Sue with one of her siblings or her mama. Single-kitten adoptions are possible when there are other playful and cat-friendly cats in the home. Learn more about the reason why we don't adopt kittens out alone.

Foster-to-adopt one or more kittens while they await their spay/neuter surgeries and an official adoption can be executed. We recommend they be kept in a bathroom or spare room away from other cats for the time being. This litter will be altered in July.

This litter was born April 3, 2026. The exact date is known because her caretaker witnessed it happening.

Needs Must Cats will have received full vetting including spay or neuter, FIV/FLV testing, microchip, and treatment for parasites by time of adoption. The adoption fee in the amount below helps us assist more cats and kittens in urgent need. These fees do not even begin to cover our expenses so please consider making an additional donate to support our life-saving efforts!
