Baldwin, MD
County-run animal services and adoption center for Baltimore County, including a Working Cat program for cats better suited to barn or outdoor placements.
Cats: $40, including an animal license and a microchip with lifetime registry through AKC Reunite.
Visit during opening hours to meet available cats, or contact Baltimore County Animal Services at (410) 887-7297 or animalservices@baltimorecountymd.gov first to check which cats are currently available.
Estimated by applying the AVMA's 2024 national cat-ownership rate (32.1% of households) to the county's real household count from the Census Bureau — a national rate applied locally, not a local survey. Population and housing figures are from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey.
Cats are $40. The fee includes an animal license and a microchip with lifetime registry through AKC Reunite.
The shelter is open daily 12pm-5pm, but you should arrive by 4:30pm to have time to complete a same-day adoption.
It places cats who are not suited to indoor pet life into barn, warehouse or outdoor working homes where they control rodents and receive food and shelter in return.
Contact Baltimore County Animal Services at (410) 887-7297 or animalservices@baltimorecountymd.gov to ask about surrendering a cat. Intake policies change with shelter capacity, so check before bringing an animal in.
