Talk about a new world! For the first time, my cat wasn't feral in the foyer or with any of the vets and staff at Rhinebeck Animal Hospital. The level of caring, compassion, knowledge, and experience by every one of the staff at Rhinebeck Animal Hospital is stellar. I realized what a sh*tshow Community Animal Hospital is in comparison! Customarily, my cat has to be sedated and contrary to Community Animal Hospital, it didn't take 1-2 days but 1-2 hours to recover. There's a lot more, especially paying 67% less on fees - the estimates were right on target unlike Community Animal Hospital which changes estimates on a whim. Most importantly, I was informed that my cat's lab work revealed a reversal of his kidney disease in the one year since he's been a patient at Rhinebeck Animal Hospital. That's not only a miracle, but a testimony to them!

I brought their attention to an open sore on her ear flap and they put it down to her "just being old". I had tried many different treatments at home but the wound had become infected and ulcerated. Her usual vet didn't even clean away the area so they could have a proper look at it! I took her for a 2nd opinion emergency appointment to Dr. Schafer at Hurley Vets who immediately suggested that the wound needed immediate attention and possibly removal. The attentive vet tech whisked her away and took blood fron her jugular vein (last vet techs poked her 3 times and were still unable to draw blood) Dr. Schafer gave her a 2 week shot of antibiotics as I knew it would be really difficult to give her the meds orally twice a day. This alleviated so much stress for both of us. A few days later my little one had surgery to remove half of her ear. The mass result came back as cancerous. She had another growth removed from her real leg too as it was getting larger amd I aas afraid the same would happen to it. All the staff were pleasant and extremely helpful. Dr. Schafer even helped me out with transport for my little one, kept in touch with me throughout the whole experience and obviously loves animals with all her heart. She is a kind, loving, helpful, honest soul and a wonderful, compassionate, capable, super-smart vet. My little one has recovered 100% and has tons more energy now thanks to the removal of the cancer as well as being given medicine for her osteoarthritis and a supplement for her liver. She has no doubt added quality time to this little old lady's lifespan and I could not be more thankful or appreciative to Dr. Danielle Schafer.

She insisted that my cat isn't serious enough ( my cat had been coughing for some time) in comparison to pets in accident. She explicitly said, "Someone could bring in their dog who got into a accident, therefore we don't know when your pet is going to be checked." - This after waiting for 2 hours. Why call yourself an emergency service of you cannot handle the pressure. As for the place, there's only 4 exam rooms with only a single doctor managing them. The lobby can only accommodate a few patients. Most owners chose to sit in their cars with their animals. This practice should not exist! And especially with the current staffs. Please practice what you preach - ensure all petparents seeking emergency veterinary services are treated with professionalism and empathy. Please recognize that we are often under severe emotional duress when facing a pet's emergency.

I adopted my formerly feral cat, Snickers, in 2020 from the Columbia-Greene Humane Society/SPCA…read more When I took him home, he was up to date with his vaccinations, medical checks as a healthy neutered 9 yr old DSH. I sang 'You are My Sunshine' while driving back to Kingston to his furever home. He looked at me as if his Birth Mother had finally found him. In 2003, I brought him to my local Petco for his next Rabies vaccination. The visit went well. He has a laid back, friendly personality. He was comfortable around new human friends. We visited the same Petco on March 27, 2026 for another Rabies vaccine after I made a same day appointment with Ayha at the front desk. We got an appointment mid-afternoon. When we checked in I asked if Snickers' nails could be clipped as well. He's a strong cat. I feed him raw chicken breast as it is less expensive than a 3.5 lb bag of Science Diet for 11+ Seniors. After introductions with Snickers, Ayha and Dr Kristen Erickson, I also noted that Snickers appears to have ear mites. He was whisked away to the treatment room for about 20 minutes. When I was called to join Snickers and the medical team in the treatment room, Ayha was cradling Snickers in her arms. Dr Erickson reported that Snickers, in fact, had an ear infection. His ears had been cleaned. No more black gunk. There's a liquid medicine to drop into each ear. Snickers' behavior during his nail clipping, vaccine injection to his thigh and various poking around with the stethoscope for his heart beat and lung sounds was reportedly uneventful. Snickers does not cooperate with me when I attempt to clip his nails. He wriggles out of my arms and walks away. I'm grateful to the staff at Petco for maintaining my cat's trust in them. He was tired when we got home after thoroughly cleaning the area on his leg where he received the injection. He flinches when I administer his ear drops.

A long time ago, I adopted a very young feral Tabby cat. It was not ready for adoption and of…read morecourse you do not realize this, until it goes home with you. The people who work at the SPCA have already established a bond with these cats. The SPCA paperwork I signed verifies that if it doesn't work out, to bring the cat back within at least a week, so it is not attached in any way. The cat kept hissing and wasn't happy. It was scared of me and I felt it wasn't a good fit. I returned it within a week, like I was told to, and all they asked was if it had bitten anyone. It did not, and I was not going to keep a cat that was not ready for adoption. Since I worked a lot of overtime, breaking in a wild cat seemed impossible at the time. I guess I should've just let it go out into the wild, for they black marked me forever for returning it, and when I tried to adopt a cat from them a few years later, they made an excuse that the cat was sick, and that I was definitely getting the cat, once it was well. When I called up to see how the cat was doing, they told me a bunch of lies of how I could not adopt the cat. I was so shocked when they said I adopted many cats and even dogs, and returned them all. I was crying at this point, for I only ever adopted one cat from them and returned it. I was allowed to return it, if it didn't work out. I explained how I never ever adopted dogs from them nor anywhere else, and how I only returned one young cat to them. They had the nerve to tell me there are plenty of other adoption agencies to go to. They were refusing to ever let me adopt there again. They even refused anyone from my family to adopt, once they realized they were trying to adopt the very same cat for me. Mind you, my family did adopt a cat from the very same SPCA just before I had, and never returned it. How can a place like this be so cruel to not let an animal go to a loving home? I have since adopted three other cats in my lifetime and they all had/ have a great life and a loving home. I owned a dog with papers, and have taken care of many other dogs and cats during my life, growing up into adulthood. It sickens my heart to see how cruel people can be. I even delivered their mail when I worked as a carrier for the USPS. I would love to donate pet food, but how can I support an organization that doesn't support me or the welfare of animals. I love all animals and do give to other, more appreciative organizations. Animals need help, and this SPCA does not do that at all.
