Ivy Woods Feline Sanctuary

Ivy Woods Feline Sanctuary Ivy Woods is a rural sanctuary for feral cats rescued from the streets of Baltimore City. There are now over 60 cats on the property.

The sanctuary exists primarily due to the generosity of one very hard-working woman. Theresa created this place so that the cats she found on the streets of Baltimore would have a safe place to live and she provided a beautiful piece of farmland near Westminster. We are excited about the future of the Ivy Woods Feline Sanctuary. Our biggest challenges are keeping our kitties in food, clean bedding

and litter. Medical care is very expensive. We are grateful for your donations, well-wishes, support and "likes".

Wink is so funny! He is chilling in a pet carrier inside a kennel with the door open😀
We use those kennels to hold feral cats briefly before or after a vet appointment, but when nobody is there we usually keep them closed. But this time the door was left open and Wink has found a cozy place to chill 😻🐾🐾

Raja is a feral cat residing at Ivy Woods Feline Sanctuary. She is one of those cats that never come very close - even after so many years of seeing us around.

Our Story

Ivy Woods is a rural sanctuary for feral cats rescued from the streets of Baltimore City and the surrounding suburbs. The sanctuary exists primarily due to the generosity of one very hard-working woman. Theresa created this place so that the cats she found on the streets of Baltimore would have a safe place to live. She provided a beautiful piece of farmland near Westminster. There are now approximately 100 cats thriving on the property. We are excited about the future of the Ivy Woods Feline Sanctuary. Our focus is to continue to provide a home for unadoptable cats, while partnering with area non-profits to find our adoptables loving family homes. Our biggest challenges are keeping our kitties in food, clean bedding and litter. As we take a lot of the hard-luck cases, medical care is very expensive. We are grateful for your donations, well-wishes, support and "likes".

An update: Our dear Theresa is now a volunteer. She still is very actively involved with Ivy Woods Sanctuary, but she chose to semi-retire as Sanctuary Caretaker, and is no longer on our Board of Directors. The new owner of the Ivy Woods Feline Sanctuary is Lana Finn Jacoby. Since Lana has a full time job, we have to rely on the services of live-in Caretakers.

The mission of Ivy Woods Feline Sanctuary remains the same: it is to provide a safe, caring haven for feral, stray and displaced cats for life. Our facility has a large enclosed area with barns and shelters where the cats can roam freely and safely. All cats are neutered/spayed, tested for FIV/FeLV Leukemia, and given shots. Veterinary care is provided to all cats as needed and a care provider/facilities manager lives on site.
