Wish they could change the rules as to seeing the cats in the room. Allowing people to just open cages to pick up snuggle and hold cats is nice but also makes it hard to stop the spread of illness and can cause some confusion as to where they are supposed to go (kids opening cages and putting them in other ones) Granted its hard to keep track of this with so many people in there on weekends. All that said the ladies who work and volunteer there are lovely! And very helpful!

And if you're more of a cat person...well they always have tons of those to cuddle too! We got our sweet kitty from the Dartmouth Shelter two years ago and it was so easy to go in and adopt her. We didn't need an appointment or anything, and they gave us as much time as we needed to look at the cats. We could have spent hours in there if we wanted. (We needed about 20 minutes before we found Korra and fell in love) My only complaint about this SPCA is that it's so hard for me to get to so I can't volunteer!

I first came across this organization at one of their mall displays in the halifax shopping centre…read more They had a friendly orange cat and lots of friendly volunteers to greet people. We bought two cupcakes from their bake sale fundraiser. Later when we had decided to adopt a cat, we thought of the cat rescue. We got in touch, explained our situation, and the organizers were able to find us an adorable, friendly kitty named Cosmos. What I really like about the organization is that they use foster homes instead of shelters. Obviously none of the cats are ever put down for lack of adoption, and they are all spayed/neutered, given shots, and tested for diseases and worms - all with volunteers. They also feed colonies of feral cats, and have a trap-neuter-return program for ferals. In fact, we liked them so much we've started volunteering ourselves.

Great service, reasonable cost, great care to my pets. Would recommend to any cat owner.read more

It was a cycle of injury, weight gain, medication then finally back to normal etc. We love our vet Dr. Robb at Dartmouth Vetrenarian Hospital, unfortunately they were really busy but kindly recommended the Harbour Cities Vet clinc to us :) I wish I could remember the name of the vet who saw Baby Ruth but oh my she was amazing! she recommended a long term solution supplement and the quality of her life has skyrocketed! she's so happy to walk, play and go to daycare again. I'm very thankful to you all for helping Ruth feel comfortable. thank you! Chelsea

It has taken me this long to sit and write an update to my first experience which was awesome...the…read moresecond visit was one that had traumatic and devastating effects on both our cat and family...because of the staff involved... in 02/18 our furry purry passed away....it happens..but it is how it happened that disgusts me about this clinic... It is a sad story of distrust and betrayal and heart break and needless suffering and loneliness and inhumanity...and guilt so if this is too strong for you do not read on.. I dedicate this review to Phillie our furrypury who died cruelly and alone because of this clinic.. AS shard we/he had such a great experience the first time that we considered this his vet... so when he sustained a brain injury from a balcony fall he was taken to his clinic. I explained the damage to his brain and bowel howver was taken back with their 'of course we know best' attitude . They gave him meds that made his bowels worse and his shame grew, I shared this with them... every time I spoke to someone they didnt listen because they know best..I had this cat for 10 years I knew what he was like before the fall and after.... he was already old ( 15 by this time) and blind and failing kidneys due to age and he rapidly declined due to this fall which was an unforseeable accident ...though asked landlord to redo balconie as planks are too wide apart... he never fully recovered... after a deep convo with my son we decided to let him die with dignity instead of the increasing anxiety and pain and shame he was in... the clinic just wanted to do blood work. I was clearly upset that my cat was upset and told them the blood test will not change our minds :we wanted Phillie to die with dignity no more pain and suffering.. and shame he had with his new bowel releases.... they wouldnt budge so had to take my cat home devastated...we made him as comfie as possible... but it was too much for me and I was going away for a while.. My son had to take him but because he was blind we set up the spare room for him so it was small enough to get to know without bumping into anything.. his bowels got worse....Sadly he was with a female who just got her own cat and kept them apart which was sad to hear. She didnt want our sick cat near her cat... I didnt know this until after.. however she ignored him all day long ..so he went from being loved /spoiled daily all day long... to only seeing my son after work every day...I feel he thought he was being punished for being so sick... until one day she said to him he didnt cry all day today... my son found him dead under the bed... It took him a month to tell me....2 years to post this... to say this clinic disgusts me is an understatement. Because they refused to listen to the owners of what was best for our pet he died alone and without attention all day... he died without me Nana Gee by his side as he would have had he been put to sleep properly.. He died without my son who loved him deeply.. day in and out he was left with that cold witch ..... until he just died.. having no Nana Gee or son...he died alone and feeling unloved and blind and in pain and confused and shamed... this was avoidable... to this day 2 years later I cant own a pet and never will again as the guilt is too much... This clinic denied my pet to die with dignity to stop his suffering and were more concerned about 50.00 blood tests that would have not changed our minds... we knew our cat they did not but instead I had to give him to my son as I couldnot handle the pain he was in... the one person he knew all most of his life.. he died alone I will never forgive this clinic so yes for the easy stuff they can do for the humane/human stuff they sicken me.. I cant post what I really think of tem but for life my son and I feel guilt that he didnt die with dignity and died alone because of this clinic making the wrong decision...animals like humans have a right to die with dignity... we can never get that back for him....so this review is for him xo our sweet furry purry Phillie.... my sookie babas xo

Jennifer was friendly and professional and she has been walking our dog Peach since then. We can tell Peach loves her and really enjoys spending time with her. We asked her to give us a quick text every day after the walk on how it went and Jennifer never missed one. We have also boarded Peach with Jennifer whenever we went out of town and we can relax and enjoy our time away from home because we know that she will be well taken care of. We would recommend Stellar Pet Care to anyone without hesitation!

We found Jennifer and she responded promptly, agreeing to take care of our 16-old-Gus for 2 weeks. What makes her business really special is she provides daily updates and photos of her visits so you don't have to worry about your furry friend back home. Gus is a senior cat with few teeth and specific dietary needs, and she was very caring in preparing his meals. Jennifer also kept our home very clean, considering beloved Gus loves to throw his litter around. She is very reliable and we will certainly be using her services every time we are away. We'd highly recommend her to anyone in need of pet care.

Situated in a beautifully restored century home, it's the go-to place for the special kitty kibble that is a must-have for my Maine Coons. They aren't my regular vets, but my peeps with pets who are clients there have been very satisfied. The staff is always warm and pleasant, there are two fantastic felines to interact with while you wait, and they often have ridiculously adorable kittens available for adoption (or you can be like me and just watch them frolic). Nice folks, quality products/service and serious potential for major cuteness - that's why I'm a fan!

First off, I cannot comment around My Cat Sitter's cat sitting visits in your own home - I believe…read moreshe would do a good job, but do not have experience with that. I cannot recommend My Cat Sitter's cat boarding service where the cat(s) stays in her home. She is great with the cats, but the room where cats are boarded is not clean - there were stains and old litter on the floor, and must have been a lot of smells left behind by the previous cats who stayed there. The house is also quite loud (two small dogs, plus loud people), so if your cat(s) prefer a quieter place, you may want to reconsider. Our recent experience there resulted in two very stressed out cats, who are still trying to recover a day later. Like I said, the owner is great with the cats, and appreciated the availability on short notice. But because of the cleanliness and loudness, and how stressed our cats were as a result of their stay, I can't recommend this service of My Cat Sitter.
