Volunteer here! There are so many loving animals waiting for their forever home. Here are just a few I've met working with the cats there. Hope to see you soon. And volunteer if you can... it's such a fulfilling experience. If you can't volunteer please consider donating.

I adopted my beautiful sweet kitten luna from here and that im grateful for, however..... she came home with Fleas, Ear Mites, and a yeast infection in her ears. I called just a few day after and and told them what was going on and even offered to come swab and treat the other kittens ears in the shelter as I am fully aware of how contagious ear mites are (very similar to lice on people), and as well have had Cats my entire life and have always been able to treat and heal my cats with over the counter and home remedies. Anyway the reason I'm upset is because although I was able to treat and rid my poor baby kitten of her fleas with two flea baths and flea drops, I was unable to rid her of what was ailing her poor baby ears so I called back after about 3-4 weeks of the ears still being black and itchy. They said that even though they had record of my previous call that they would be unable to help since I waited to long. So long story short, spent $125 to adopt, then about $80 on flea bath and drops, about $50 on different over the counter ear mites medicine. The final end of the story, I also had to spend over $100 on a vet visit and another $30 on medicine for a yeast infection in her ears. All is well now, and I love her to bits. Also love all the staff at Noah's Ark Animal Clinic. Over all the worst experience I've ever had in my 40 years of adopting cats!!!

The WORST shelter I have EVER been to. All I wanted to do was help the two dogs I found on the side of the road. I’m not from the area so couldn’t give them an exact address but I told them the road and the closest business, they told me they couldn’t help because it wasn’t an exact address. I called other shelters with the same info and they told me it is Kenton’s county, their problem. I came here to turn into two dogs that were in danger on the side of the road and these people harasses me, treated me like a criminal as if they were MY dogs that I was just abandoning. Asking me a million questions all while making me hold these two strong dogs to be vindictive because the dogs were very sweet, all while trying to make sure my autistic son stays out of every everything. These people are lazy, rude, and do not care about animals

When looking for a new kitty friend, if you see something on their information that worries you; always ask about it!!! Sometimes they write things just to be safe and it really isn't anything at all, and sometimes they are re-homed for situations that weren't their fault. They said my Finn was aggressive to other animals because he had hissed at other cats in the treatment room, which is a stressful place, but honestly he isn't aggressive at all they just wanted to be safe <3 My resident cat however is still mad at him, but that's because she is an old lady. I waited over the weekend impatiently then called again after a few days and they said to come in and he was mine, sweet and helpful woman at the desk. If there isn't an answer just try again later, it's worth it. Also a helpful tip, it's best to adopt a cat closer to your cats age, energy levels and age matter more than gender. Cats are more territorial as they age and my sassy senior calico would be having a much harder time with a kitten. Adult or senior cats are adopted much slower so if you find one you love, you will probably end up with them.

It's a no kill shelter. A plus for that. I bring toys. It is a safe place but I wish more people donated. Please try. These animals all deserve love. A blanket...a toy...a smile.

They are amazing. Helped us re-home 2 kittens that were dropped off on our rural road. Our dogs would not tolerate them. So they helped us when no one else would. thank you so much you guys are awesome.
