We adopted our Charlie from Morris back in March and he's been such a wonderful addition to our…read morelives. Charlie was originally at Get A Gato Cafe but got fostered. While being fostered, we visited him and decided to adopt him. The paperwork and adoption process was very smooth thanks to Mica. Mica was super prepared to answer our questions. Morris sent a lot of resources and instructions on how to set up his microchip information. It was also nice having all his medical records. I had a very good experience especially for a first-time cat mom. I would consider adopting from Morris again.

They continually answer our questions and welcome us to meet more of their cats. We adopted our first cat and then a kitten from foster homes through PAWS - they made the process very simple for us! One note is that it may have helped we also are in Old City, so it was easy to come in person and get a response in case we did not hear back via email. We really appreciate the team at PAWS and how they're willing to support our pets, even after we adopted them! I would recommend checking them out if you're looking to adopt and get approved for adoption!

The new workers (guess they fired the finger poker girls) seem much nicer and informative…read more My updated review on Morris Animal Rescue however has changed. I was only talking about the red head woman who checked me out who seemed patient and informative. The rest of staff was horrible and discriminatory. Please my review on their Yelp. No one has reviewed them in over a year so if they take it down this is what I posted today: "Denied adoption of a beautiful kitty on 12/6/24 simply because the kitty had Feline HIV. I believe her name was Snow and she was grey. The women who denied her adoption to me had a less feminine look and it felt as if she was trying to intimidate me or coerce me to violence even though I showed no aggression. The blond woman who was at front desk when you first walk in got up and walked away from the desk without saying a work to me during checkout. I feel she was very disrespectful yet I remained calm and cooperative. I would hate to feel as though I was discriminated against for my race for being more "aggressive" as I did not discriminate against the brunette woman who denied me my first pick kitten for her possible sexuality. Neither racial or sexual orientation discrimination is right yet I felt racial on my end with no disrespect to either women. The red head woman who had to finish my checkout was much kinder and made me feel better about adopting my second choice Shadow. Both the brunette and blonde seemed much nicer to the Caucasian couple that came in as I was leaving who there to pick up foster kittens. Everyone should be treated equally whether race, sexual orientation or disability. They also should not be denied an adoption due to feline hiv as it is very treatable. No matter who you are you should not support this behavior nor allow it to continue. Please report any notes of this even if you are on the fairer side of treatment. "

We signed up for a 30 minute time slot (which for my 2 year old was plenty), but I could've stayed…read morefor hours! The cats were very cute, friendly and well cared for. The employees were kind and knowledgeable. I appreciated they had toys to use, which my daughter had fun waving around and playing with the kitties. If we didn't already have 2 and live in Baltimore, we would've definitely considered adopting! My husband made a donation though, which hopefully helps them care for more! The only reason I didn't give it a 5 is that the name of cafe is misleading at best. There was a Keurig and no food... I wouldn't call that a cafe. It was also a little expensive for the time you get, but we're cat lovers and it goes to a good cause so that can be overlooked.

How could I not give the rescue that our sweet little chihuahua came from five stars? All kidding…read moreaside, our experience with Street Tails was a great one. From seeing "Scampi" on their Instagram, to communicating about her and coming in to meet her, we had a great experience. No pressure was put on us to take her home, they let us spend time with her downstairs and let us get to know her, which made us more confident in our ability to make the right decision for her and for us. Clearly we elected to take the chance and make her a part of our family - and nearly five months later, she has become an integral member of our little pack. Despite her early story being unknown and having had babies before she was taken in by Street Tails (by way of ACCT), she's seemingly a happy and healthy little one who just didn't get to live her best life soon enough. We are happy to give her just that - but we have Street Tails to thank for allowing us to be her paw-rents. I would definitely adopt from them again when we are ready to add to our fur family.

Yay City Kitties! I adopted a cat from this group (a local non-profit, no-kill cat rescue) last…read moreyear. I have many, many good things to say but will try to limit the list... Thing 1: the cats! I was genuinely impressed by how well they take care of their rescues. Every stray they pick up gets top-notch vet care, including spay/neuter and screening/treatment for health issues, and is placed in a loving foster home (as in, a real person's home). It's amazing how scared, pathetic-looking cats get transformed into healthy, friendly ones by the time they're judged ready to adopt out. The $75 adoption fee covers all of this care, and it's honestly worth it. Thing 2: the support. Because each cat's "foster parent" knows the cat's personality, City Kitties is good at suggesting matches for what you're looking for (eg, playful cat always up in your business, quiet lapcat, etc) and what your home is like (other pets, etc). They really care where their cats end up and both screen potential adopters carefully and make sure you know what the cat is like. Before you adopt, you get to 1) read cute online-dating-like profiles about the cats and 2) visit them in their foster homes. And because each cat has been screened by a vet, you're likely to know about any ongoing health issues before deciding anything. Also: Even after you adopt, City Kitties is great about being available to help with concerns or questions. I've asked about routine health issues and even about cat drama when introducing the new little cat to my resident cat, and they've always been very nice and helpful. Thing 3: the people. Oh man, are they great. You'd never guess it from how professional and organized they are, but City Kitties is just a small group of people in West Philly, who started this and keep doing it as volunteers because they care. (The business address up there is for someone's house!) You can feel really good about where your money's going if you donate, and their benefit events are genuinely fun even if you're not at all a crazy cat-lady/cat-gent. Thing 4: the cute. http://www.youtube.com/citykitties How can you not get behind that? Such a good group. Adopt, foster, or donate if you can!

With all the hype you hear about PAWS these days, it's kind of easy to forget about Morris Refuge…read more Heck, I haven't stepped foot in there in ages. I see from the other reviews, though, that they're still doing what they do best. And surely they must be doing it well. I adopted my baby girl, my floppy lap cat, Sydney, AKA Flirty McFlirtster (she loves human males with beards), from Morris in 1998. She was just a wee lass, a tiny kitten, but already spayed because someone adopted her (a week before I met her) and returned her due to allergies. Phooey to that guy! And you know what? My little tramp is still kickin' it, managing our household from the windowsill on a daily basis, nary a health problem. Sometimes I think I should turn on a red light, make her start contributing to the bills and stuff. (Cats, they're so lazy.) Thanks, Morris, for introducing me to my best buddy, my special girl.

Our dog had stomach issues. The vet tried to figure it out. The bills were starting to add up with…read moreno relief for the dog and no answers. In the end she wasn't eating and drinking so we brought her to the SPCA for end of life services. They asked for vet records. I had them sent over immediately. The nurse read the paperwork and said it was only an "inflamed esophagus " it's treatable and we don't feel comfortable euthanizing her. The dog could barely lift her head. I said she hasn't eaten and now she won't drink. She won't take any meds. She wouldn't even eat doggie ice cream anymore. The nurse shrugged her shoulders and said we could just leave her there or take her to another clinic. By 11 pm she was dead at home. I do not recommend the SPCA. The nurse never paid the dog an ounce of attention. She read the vet report and didn't ask any further questions. When we tried to volunteer information, she just kept shrugging her shoulders.

They do amazing work and I'm so glad that they have this café so we can come and support them. Entry fee was $15. You can pay online or at the door. This place is so warm and friendly. So many volunteers happy to introduce you to all the residents! The cats are happy! They love visitors and many love to be held, play and enjoy some treats. They have multiple couch's to sit on. There is an adult cat area and the kitten room. Only a limited number can enter the kitten room at once. There are complimentary treats for guests and resident kittys.. The cats have a gum-ball machine filled with treats . There is a free snack area, coffee and tea bar, and a stocked refrigerator full of sodas and water. The decor is PURRFECT. So many cool things pieces of decor throughout the cafe. The bathroom decor is hilarious. Instead of posting photos, I'm gonna post a video that I made for my personal social media. I feel like it truly captures how special this place is. Also, if you are inclined, you can message to see what food they are in need of then you can bring that to donate to their efforts. Last note, it is street parking only. There is a cemetery about a half a block away and there was plenty of street parking available there.

Went through adoption process, stating with browsing their website and their profile on…read morepetfinder.com. Submitted (electronic) application on October 9, application was approved October 14, kittens selected October 18. The application process was straightforward. It asks for personal references, probes for pet history, and has pointed questions to determine if you understand how to care for a cat. I got an email the next morning saying my application looked great and they would process it ASAP. It did take until Oct 14 to get confirmation that the application was approved, and I did have to follow up to get the confirmation. It seems as though the only contact there is Shauna, the owner/operator, and she is a busy lady. We visited the cat cafe on Oct 18 to meet the prospective kittens. The cafe has a nice, comfortable, very cat friendly area to mingle with the kitties. There are nests and beds all over that the cats are just chilling out in. All the cats were friendly and well socialized. They have the kittens in a separate room to keep them from getting bullied, and that is a comfy space for cats as well. There are plenty of hideouts for the kittens, as well as toys to play with them. The kittens were mostly happy to be cuddled and picked up, with a few exceptions for very shy or wary kittens. We met Shauna, who is very friendly and knowledgeable. After selecting the kittens we wanted to adopt, Shauna asked me to email her letting her know which ones we want. They don't do same-day adoptions. All the cats are fully vetted prior to adoption: vaccinated, spayed/neutered, flea and tick treated, microchipped, and tested negative for feline aids. Considering this is done by the rescue, the $150 adoption fee per cat (or buy-one-get-one!) is extremely reasonable. Due to my schedule I won't bring the fur babies home until early November, and Shauna was more than happy to let them stay at the cafe for a couple of extra weeks.

My boyfriend and I had been considering adopting a cat for some time but always pushing it back for…read moreone reason or another. While browsing Petfinder one day at work, I happened upon a cute little tuxedo cat named Bouncer. He seemed absolutely perfect for us and we decided that he would finally be the one. Kathy at Green Street Rescue is great to work with! She was very quick to respond to our emails and to approve our application. She did her research on us too, which made me even more comfortable with the organization (for the sake of the kitties!). Even though we had some issues making a time to meet and pick up Bouncer, she worked with our schedule and made time to have us come over. One of the best things about Green Street is that Kathy let us have a trial period - we didn't need to pay her as soon as we picked him up. She made sure we took him home and that we were comfortable, he was comfortable, and that it was a match. Luckily, he's become a great addition and we're very happy. Next time I have a friend looking to adopt a cat, I will recommend them to Green Street Rescue.

Is the mom and baby in your home? WHERE are you located? no one can help if they don't know what part of the city you live in. We can loan you a trap to trap the male cat and get him neutered and vaccinated and then return but the MOM needs to be spayed asap and the mom and kitten both need RABIES vaccines asap. Do you drive?
