A beautiful building with plenty of room for the cats to roam and explore. Everything was perfectly…read moreclean and well maintained. The volunteers were incredible -- they knew every cat by name, which ones liked being held, which were shy, which ones were little bullies, and which would happily jump on top of the furniture or refrigerator. They were also very knowledgeable about each cat's medical needs and personality. It's clear this place is run with so much care and love. An absolutely amazing place. Bonus - it's a no kill shelter.

Stay Awhile Cat Shelter is a truly special place. The love and dedication they show to every single…read morecat in their care is remarkable. You can tell immediately that this isn't just a shelter--it's a safe haven. The environment is calm, clean, and thoughtfully set up to give the cats the space and comfort they need to feel at home. The staff and volunteers go above and beyond to ensure each cat is not only cared for physically but emotionally as well. They take time to get to know each cat's personality, which makes the adoption process thoughtful and successful--for both the cat and the new family. If you're considering adoption or looking to support an organization that truly puts animals first, Stay Awhile is worth your time and trust. They do incredible work, and the impact they make shows in every purr and playful paw.

I can not speak to anybody else's experience but mine was fantastic. I drove 1.5 hours to visit the…read morebeautiful cats in this shelter. Staff was super transparent about medical & behavioral issues with cats. The vet care that they receive while in the shelter is amazing. My 5 yo gal had a full dental done. Everybody was friendly & helpful. Prices were fair & the set-up for meeting cats was awesome. I highly recommend.

Unfortunately, both…read moreexperiences I have had with the cat department were negative, and the way the situations were handled did not feel like effective damage control. I believe there is an opportunity for better communication, empathy, and follow-through when addressing customer concerns (especially adopting out sick cats when I called and emailed ((with proof!!)) multiple times asking if my cat has any issues before adopting him)

I never had a dog rescued from a puppy mill, but the suggestion sheet and the manager's tips really helped me. Try this Humane Society rather than getting a dog from a breeder or pet store. Also, this facility is very clean and most dogs seemed content. The manager was so kind and gave my dog her parvovirus shot since Lulu didn't have one yet.

What a wonderful shelter with caring and loving staff! We got our Minnie from this shelter 3 years…read moreago, as hard to believe as that is, and it's been such a blessing for all of us! I will always be grateful for them helping us find our new family friend! This shelter really does everything they can for all of their animals to keep them safe and healthy! They are incredibly hard working and committed to their animals in a loving and supportive way; whether it taking them to the vet at any time of the day or night to helping mother dogs birth their puppies, they are right there caring for them every step of the way! They go above and beyond to rescue animals and take in any stray/surrender they can! That's how they found Minnie. They do their best to find their animals homes that will take care of their needs as well as work with the new families in any needs they have. They really know each and every one of the animals they care for by their personality and interests. These staff members have a personal relationship with these animals instead of only knowing them by a number or "name". I honestly am very proud of all their hard work, their abilities to conquer through anything and admire their passionate hearts! 5 stars is not a high enough award that this rescue deserves as they clearly do 10 star and above work! I hope you consider checking them out for a new furry friend and see all of the care they receive here!

Love the rescue work they do, but also love the work they do as a boarding facility. We adopted our…read moresecond dog as a puppy two years ago and she is a perfect fit for our family. I appreciate all the love they show both my pups (one from their rescue, and our older dog from another rescue) when we drop them off. They know their personalities and how to handle each of them. We used to have a family friend watch the dogs at home when we were out of town, so I was a bit nervous the first time we left them, but the staff made sure to let me know we could contact them to check on the dogs any time... and now my dogs are exited to go back and play when we are out of town. Thank you for all your hard work ROAR staff!!!

The owner could call you back when you ask them too. I was going to adopt one of their Dobermans…read morebut was told after I filled out the application that "we think you do too much with your dogs." My Dobermans have been therapy dogs, scent dogs, tricks dogs and competition obedience dogs.. not all of them have been the same. I then pursued another Doberman with another rescue to see if it would work because they didn't know anything about the dog. In the middle of this, they contacted me to say they may have made a mistake .. I said I was involved in this now and I have to follow through. Unfortunately the dog did not work out .. I messaged them last Thursday and was told that they were open for adoption and that I was approved as the email stated.. messaged them on Friday to tell them I was coming on Monday to see the dog and then was told someone else just got approved and was coming to see the dog. I was told they held the dog for me and I said that's good because you were the reason I didn't come to begin with. You get no response when you ask whoever runs the place to call you.. I would not recommend this service to anyone!

This continues to be one of the animal rescues that has the biggest impact. Not only are they…read moresaving our precious furry friends, but they have a prison program that has the power to also transform the lives of the inmates who participate in this program. We adopted a dog from here years ago & it has proven to be one of the best decisions we have made as a family. Our pup came out well trained, socialized & a ready made companion for our mom. The adoption process is lengthy and thorough, as it should be, to ensure that animals in their care are placed in homes that are all that they claim to be. This process includes a home visit which allows them to get a better idea of how safe & suitable a prospective forever home could be as well as discuss any potential barriers to the adoption process.
