Would leave a 1 if possible. My friend found a cat in the middle of the road last night clearly blind and abandoned. I suggested she bring it here as it is a no kill shelter....the woman working accepted the cat AND CALLED THE COPS. She didn't tell my friend since she found the cat it is her responsibility. She is now also trying to make my friend who's never owned a cat and does not have the facilities to do so. ( She owns two dogs) So now my friend is being threatened with animal abandonment because she thought finding a stray and dropping it off here would be a good thing. ITS TURNED INTO A NIGHTMARE. Also if this is the kind of attitude you have towards accepting strays maybe you shouldn't consider yourself an animal advocate at all
Unfortunately, I need to leave a negative comment because of how unprofessional one of the workers were to me during the screening process for adopting a cat. (I don’t remember their name). I was on the phone with a worker about adoption and 5 minutes into the conversation I mentioned how I wanted to make sure my partner I live with does not have any significant allergies towards the Cat during the meet and greet process. Right away the women tells me she doesn’t feel comfortable allowing me to adopt the cat even though I explained to her my partner has minor allergies to long hair cats, which is why we were looking into a short haired cat. The women would not even let me finish the screening process and told me to go to an animal shelter instead as her cats were not in need of placement right away. The whole interaction with her was very strange and unprofessional as I was looking to provide a permanent home to a foster cat and was turned down right away. I know many people who have allergies towards different kinds of cat fur and can deal better with short haired cats rather than longer haired cats. I certainly would not recommend this place to anyone after how judgement and rude the worker was.
We adopted our first kitty and just knew with our experience we were going to go back. A couple months of working with him we decided to go and adopt his sister. The staff remembered us and again were super friendly and transparent. We even found that both of our babies came from the same site! They make calls to see how things are going and if we ever need anything they are always willing to help!
Super caring and professional staff, very thorough with pre-adoption applications and post-adoption follow up. Best wishes to all the kitties, I hope you all find the perfect homes ♡
We applied to four different shelters. Three had kitties in cages at the pet stores, and one was online, Adirondack Region Cat Adoption Center. Brooke responded within a couple of days, and our application was easily approved, and we were there meeting cats within a week of applying. The other three shelters didn't even bother with a response (maybe covid was at fault, but we'll never know). The center is a converted house, each room has a storm door to keep groups of cats separated, so you can meet a few at a time without being overwhelmed. Our kitty found us, and he took us home that day. The staff were very thorough, giving us all the paperwork the had from the beginning, so we had his entire weight history, medications, etc. This made the transition to our vet painless.
Highly, highly recommend this adoption center! Prior to visiting, there is a lengthy online application process, reference checks and then you can schedule a visit. We adopted Merlin and we have loved him since I set eyes on him. As soon as I walked in the door, it felt like a home and not a kennel. The kittens and cats were roaming freely in separate rooms, there were no cages so you could interact with them. They explained their history and you could tell that they were all well cared for. Merlin was the third kitten that I looked at and immediately knew he was the one! They sent him home with food so I didn’t have to go to the store right away. He also had all of his vaccines and was neutered. So very happy that I found this wonderful organization!
