MISSION: ACR promotes compassion and humane care for cats through the following:

-promoting the welfare of all cats
-assisting groups and individuals to help rescue and place cats
-assisting cat caretakers with cat behavioral problems so that cats remain in their homes instead of being relinquished
-helping to promote a better understanding of feline diseases such as feline leukemia and feline immunodeficiency virus
-providing hospice care for terminally ill and older cats
-keeping cats out of the sheltering system, thus reducing euthanasia rates, and
-promoting and assisting with the spaying and neutering of ALL cats and kittens before adoption, including early-age spay or neuter.

We actively rescue stray cats and kittens from the streets and find them good homes. We take in unwanted cats and give them a second chance, when otherwise their owners might drop them off at an over-crowded shelter or abandon them.

We also attack cat overpopulation at the source, by sterilizing feral cats and thus preventing the births of hundreds of homeless kittens. We rescue feral kittens and teach them to become loving companions. We sterilize all the cats and kittens we rescue prior to adoption to prevent "accidental" litters.

Come visit our adoptable cats at PETsMART on Cherry Hill Road in the Orchard Shopping Center in Sliver Spring!
