The shelter is clean, very well organized, staffed, supplied, connected (with rescues and relevant other organizations), and supported. The kennels are cleaned, the dogs and cats cared for, well-fed and watered, walked, rehabilitated if needed, given some training, and treated with the love and respect all living creatures deserve. The way the indoor/outdoor kennels are built, the yard, and fenced areas, all contribute to making this shelter an impressive one, especially relative to others I've seen. I may have issues with some of the entities, or individuals, at times. In my experience, the mission comes first and most people agree with the overall goals, if not each method or policy. Listen, there is plenty to criticize. Unless you're willing to roll-up your sleeves and open your wallet to improve things, miss me with your complaints. It's also easy to judge those who surrender animals. Without knowing the full story of each, I'm aware that often it's gor the animal's welfare and a last resort and agonizing decisions by their previous families. Again, save your criticisms for a receptive audience. It ain't me. Bring a donation, bring your time and talent, bring supplies and/or financial support. This place is ours and will be as good as we make it. Watching the improvements and upgrades in recent months and longer, I can't help but be impressed by our generous community and our values and priorities. The shelter is a good example, for better and worse. Their visibly, online presence, social media information, community outreach and education, and advocacy efforts are second to none.

It's owners who need to be educated on the treatment and care of all pets.

It had lots of cats with very different personalities. Some were sleepy, playful, or annoyed haha. So if you are looking for a place to adopt a cat I definitely recommend coming here. Let me go over the good and bad stuff. Pros: *Cute cats *Clean Bathroom *Entertainment *Lots of places to sit *Chill environment *Good Service *Nice drink and snack menu Cons: *Can be very packed (it depends on the day we went on a weekend maybe week days are better) causing not a lot of cats to be available. So honestly overall an amazing place. Only bad thing was we went when it was really packed and really didn't get to experience a lot of the cats up close. But other than that the cats seem happy. There is also a fun entertainment system where you can play music or video games. Definitely give this place a try because they are doing something great and saving these cats to find them a home. So go and experience it yourself and leave a review!!!! Also let me know if this review was helpful!

Cats laid around everywhere. Lizzy (I'm not sure how she spelled it) was perfect for that place. Her laid back vibe and charming demeanor helped to make the place so much more chill. She offered us refreshments and told us fun things for each cat. The snacks and refreshments up front looked amazing - brownies, muffins, cupcakes, and coffee, tea, and water. Do yourself a favor and try it out. It's such a cool, sweet place.

I was given all the information I needed to comply with their very efficient process. It was my first visit to this facility. I have know it for years but was under a certain idea that it was just for low income individuals or feral animals. I had an opportunity to see my sweet friend and the director of the facility and she informed me that that is a common misconception. She said they take all folks and most animals. There are a few dog type they don't spay or neuter. They did an exceptionally wonderful job with my asshole cat. She would not wear the cone or a sleeve over the surgery. So, I just had to watch her and she did great. The wound healed great. She is still an asshole but a smidge calmer. I actually was not charged anything due to the fact that I am on Medicare, so it was a great value to me. My plan is to donate to them through their wish list/amazon. Thanks for all you all do for the animals

McKamey, which is actually the city animal control and shelter facility, is taxpayer supported as well as through all levels of contribution and promotion. The facility is a highly impressive one on a large tract of land but you can't always judge a book by the cover. The shelter has always been under scrutiny for a number of very unattractive reasons, especially when it's function is to care for, house and place animals into qualifying homes. Qualifying is based largely on what potential adopters write on their forms. No one From the shelter visits the homes of potential adopter to make sure the conditions are good for the welfare of the animal. Once you get beyond the highly questionable events and administrative stains, you can move ahead to SAVE a homeless animal and feel very good about that. Having given you a heads up about the shameful aspect, I will tell you that the majority of the volunteers who do the work and connect with the animals are dedicated, conscientious and caring. I suggest all adopters chose a vet before adoption and have your pet received a complete physical so there are no surprised that can be life-threatening or more expensive than your budget. Adopting an animal is a life long decision and you should start out knowing your pet's medical condition. I can tell you that the shelter is always at capacity with great animals that want warm, inviting and loving homes. I was lucky to have been told that before I could take my dog home, she would have to be held to treat her for heart worms. The shelter bears the cost which in my case, took about four months Always do due diligence on any shelter and ask if they have a no kill policy that is a part of their registration with the city, county and state

However, I was disappointed with my recent phone interaction. I called to report an issue and also one that may be related to dogs being hit by cars in my area off the freeway, something that has happened multiple times over the past few months. During the call, I was frequently interrupted and the tone used felt raised, which gave me the impression that my call was a bother rather than a serious concern being addressed. While I understand call volume can be high, the interaction felt dismissive given the seriousness of the issue I was reporting. I hope this feedback helps improve communication moving forward.

I went home with none because I thought 5 would be too much. after talking to a friend she told me to go back and get them. I didn't wa not to get them until I had the room ready so I was going to go on Sunday. I calked and they said there are only 3 left. What? I was told it was all or none. I said I would take the 3. I get a call back saying someone wants one. I said ok because I only wanted to adopt 2. As I left I told 3 people I wanted to adopt them. I went and bought tons of stuff for them and fell in love. Fast forward to today and I get a phone call from a very rude woman named Terry who said I have to bring them in because they are being adopted. Again, what? I am adopting them. She said someone didn't fill out the paperwork so you're not getting them. She said it's too bad but there are others you can adopt. Why can't they adopt other ones? I've had them and have bonded with them. And they are separating them! I want them both.

She was very caring, and truly loves the animals. The cats are free to wander in an open room. There is a long haired, one eyed tuxedo cat I fell in love with particularly that I'd love to take home if I just could! Another favorite is a mid sized red dog, who I'm told has had a hard life. He's previously been scarred by mange, and was neglected. He doesn't know what to think yet, but a sweet and cheerful fellow was giving him personal attention. I wish I'd gotten his name. But anyway, this shelter is where it's at! Friendly, professional, caring, and helpful people abound. This is my kind of place. If you are looking for a pet, come and meet your forever friend here!
