PRINCE FREDERICK, Md. — A sweet calico cat named Night is ready for adoption at the Linda L. Kelley Animal Shelter in Calvert County, offering an affectionate companion for the right household.
The shelter, located at 5055 Hallowing Point Road in Prince Frederick, highlights Night as a standout adoptable pet. Around 5 years old and fully vetted, this calico female provides gentle companionship without being overly demanding. She enjoys keeping her people company and is described as ready to become a constant, loving shadow in a home that matches her calm demeanor. Shelter staff emphasize that Night gives as much love as she receives, making her an ideal choice for someone seeking a devoted feline friend who brings warmth and sunshine to daily life.
The Linda L. Kelley Animal Shelter, operated by Calvert County Government, serves residents by handling stray intake, owner surrenders by appointment, and adoptions for cats, dogs, and other animals. Named in honor of former Commissioner Linda Kelley for her advocacy in humane animal treatment, the facility promotes responsible pet placement and community education. It remains a key resource in Southern Maryland, particularly Calvert County, where demand for adoptable pets continues amid ongoing efforts to find forever homes.
Adoption begins with completing the cat adoption questionnaire, available online. Once filled out, submit the form via email to animalshelter@calvertcountymd.gov. Potential adopters undergo a pre-screening process to ensure compatibility, lifestyle match, and a suitable environment. The standard cat adoption fee is $40, covering services such as spay/neuter, vaccinations, and other care provided before placement. Interested parties are encouraged to visit the shelter Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Mondays limited to reclaim and surrender only; closed Sundays) to meet Night and other available cats.
This spotlight on Night aligns with the shelter’s broader mission to reduce overcrowding and place animals in loving homes. Calvert County has promoted adoptions through recent specials, including reduced fees during events like Valentine’s promotions, underscoring the ongoing need for adopters. The shelter also features programs such as working cats for rodent control on properties and fosters for longer-term residents.
Night’s profile appears across the shelter’s official channels, including its website, Facebook, and Instagram, where staff share updates on featured pets to connect them with potential families.
