If you're considering purchasing a pet, before you go to a pet-store, you should first check out…read morethe Bide Awhile Animal Shelter. The Bide Awhile provides a temporary shelter for many homeless cats and dogs, both young and old, until the shelter is able to place them in proper homes. Unlike pet-stores, Bide Awhile isn't lookng to make profits, instead, its main concern is always the well-being of the animals. Of course, there is a reasonable adoption fee for all the animals, but this cost goes towards medical shots and other pet essentials. Bide Awhile has a unique set-up, in that, when you go in to see the kitties they're all in one gigantic playroom. At any one time, there can be 40 or more cats inside. Customers and guests are invited into the room to get to play with the cats and get to know them, before making a purchase decision. The adoption process itself can be quite rigorous, in that you must first fill out various adoption papers and wait for your references to be approved - which can sometimes take several days. Keep in mind though, that while this process can be quite frustrating, it is all being done in the animals' protection, to ensure they go to good loving homes.

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.

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!

Walking in there's a cute little pet store with adorable merchandise for you and your pet. Cat litter, toys, bow ties and human apparel amongst other things. They have a cooler with drinks, coffee and a few snacks available for purchase as well. The downside is the 8 dollar cost. Yes I realize the funds go to help cats at the SPCA and to run this adorable lounge but I wouldn't pay that again and rather just go to the SPCA or metro to pet kitties. The lounge itself is simply adorable though. It is such a great space for the cats and comfortable for the human visitors too. Lots of room, sofas, cat plushies, comfy perches and beds, toys, treats and places to climb. The staff was very nice there too. There were 4 kitties when we went and a couple of them were super playful and sweet. The others were more solitary which is okay but again another reason paying the fee can be disappointing, if the cats don't want to be bugged then you might just sit there for an hour. I hope for great success for this place!

I was told that there weren't ANY cats to be seen, and was not given any information on when there would be. It's unfortunate that the staff are taking away adoption opportunities for these sweet kittens and it would have been nice to be treated with a little more warmth. I unfortunately will not return, and will choose the SPCA as they seem a little more eager to have their animals adopted. The staff I have spoken with clearly only care about their pay check and not finding these wonderful cats a real home. I will not be back, which is unfortunate because there was a kitten I was ready to go in, and take home.
