Best Places To Adopt Cats In Washington Near Me

Win Simmons: Kipa (our kitten) was adopted one week yesterday.. He is such a lovable kitten.. The staff was very helpful finding the perfect gift for my daughter... Thank you! For all that you do and continue to do for strays like Kipa🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈

Elaine Shepherd: Well cared for and vetted pets are housed in a clean, calm atmosphere. Proficient and pleasant staff is also a plus. My cocker spaniel rescue is an absolute gem. Google them or visit to meet equally wonderful pets waiting to meet you.

Anonymous K.: Just a warning that if you sign up to make regular donations they make it impossible to cancel those donations. Literally had to contact my credit card company to block charges from them because they ignored my multiple requests to cancel my monthly donations.

Emily W.: The recent designation of Siegfried and Roy’s Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat as meeting "the gold standard for animal welfare" by American Humane is without merit. As noted by the Review-Journal, MGM made significant contributions to establish the new program with David Blasko of the Habitat sitting on the advisory committee. The committee also consists of a panel of individuals heavily invested in the use of animals in entertainment, like animal trainers and Ringling Bros employees. These individuals support the captivity and use of cruel training methods on animals for the purpose of human entertainment. Further, American Humane is the organization responsible for the “no animals were harmed” accreditation seen at the end of films. A well-documented expose released in 2013 showed that countless animals have been harmed or killed on film sets, even while the same film went on to receive accreditation by American Humane. How “humane” is it to hold dolphins captive in pools in the middle of the desert where they are subjected to constant sunlight and UV rays? The Animal Welfare Act, the federal law that regulates standards for animal care and treatment, specifically sets a mandate for adequate shade for marine mammals, yet the dolphins at the Mirage have virtually none. How “humane" it is to hold large apex predators like tigers captive in small cages, where they can never engage in any behavior that is natural or instinctual to them like stalking prey? The latest designation bestowed on the Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat is an example of an industry that survives off the backs of animals congratulating itself for continuing to do so, while lying about any positive impact they have for the animal species they hold captive for profit. Animal captivity by MGM including the Mirage is a shameful and cruel practice that is rapidly running out of steam in an age when people are waking up to the reality that animal captivity is not kind and it is not educational, it is animal cruelty.

Harlow Arbiol: I had a really good experience adopting from Homeward Trails. My partner and I did the Tails Out program where we met a Labrador Retriever. She was the most kindest dog. I ever met and felt a instant connection with her. We decided to adopt her and it was very smooth. You can tell this shelter really cares about their dogs. Thank you so much for everything. Thank you Hannah. She was very helpful and professional; and even helped us during this Christmas Eve.

Christina Flear: I recently went through the adoption process with Lucky Dog and being a first time dog owner, the process was beyond helpful and reassuring. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly making the whole process that much more pleasant. Each step of the process was organized and easy to follow, plus the communication with their team was quick and thorough. I appreciated them walking me through each step and helping me adopt our new dog Asher. They took the time to make sure we were a good fit, which is so important to me. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to adopt. :)

Kendal Orgera: We were so excited to adopt another cat, but the volunteers were frankly horrendous. They were angry it was taking us so long to decide, then pressured us to adopt cats we just didn’t connect with, then blatantly insulted me and said, “it’s clear you’re not a cat person.” Although I’ve spent my life with cats. There was one cat we really wanted, but without telling us (prior to our appointment) she was already adopted. They made it feel like they were just trying to push the cats out to homes without ensuring they were going to the right homes. Love an animal rescue and organization like this, but the volunteers made us so angry we honestly don’t feel comfortable using King Street Cats again. Truly can’t emphasize enough how awful and mean they were. Also told them (prior to everything), that I wanted to volunteer at an organization like this. And they said, “we’re not accepting applicants. And we have many already.” Just a series of horrendous experiences. UPDATE: Just realized one of the (what I thought were) volunteers, was actually the president of the org. Actually amazed that the president of KSC was so unbearable. Vivien was her name.

Renee Beroncal: Great shelter and staff! Thank you so much for helping us find our new fur baby! We love her so much!

Angel Smith: This was such a lovely experience. We got to meet the founder Kanchan and she was amazing. Just being able to open up, be vulnerable and transparent was really refreshing. They had water and cupcakes for us too! And of course it was great meeting all the kitties! Come by and meet the cats and even adopt one or two!

Mara Davis: Megan was a great dogadventure trainer! She was a great source of information and so amazing with all the dogs. I look forward to taking a dog out in near future. This shelter really loves and cares for the animals!Arielle was my favorite dog. She is so sweet and loving. ❤❤

Natalie Bohnet: Positive: Reliability, ValueMy energetic beagle mix Pablo goes into City Dogs daycare very enthusiastically. He comes home tired & happy. Buying the pass makes it reasonably priced. I love the photos on the door welcoming the new dogs! Great place!

Bruce Chamberlin: How do people not realize that putting colonies of Ferrell cats in our state parks is an act of animal cruelty destroying the natural wildlife. Neutered cats must eat and drink, destroying the indigenous animals and adding new diseases into ecosystem. The natural fauna will disappear leaving a wasteland filled with diseased cats living short, miserable and cruel lives. I’m sure these people are all heart, and that’s just it, all heart and no brains. In reality they are sentencing these poor creatures to a slow cruel death. Since you don’t witness the reality, you actually sit back and feel good about yourself. Trap, neuter and release are acts of the worst kind of animal cruelty. We must stop this misguided effort that is rapidly destroying the very important and unique ecosystems of our Brandywine valley. All you have left is to listen to the screaming cats at night to the point you can’t sleep with you windows open. Can we come up with a way to eliminate these destructive colonies and restore the balance created over thousands of years? Yes! Trap, and take to SPCA. Sad, unfortunate, but humane and one positive step in maintaining our beautiful parks filled with the animals nature spent thousands of years to create. Once a cat has become Ferrell it will never be suitable as a house pet again.

N Sanie: I set up an appointment via email to adopt a bird at 5pm and upon my arrival I was told that they had me at a different time for the appointment and so they let someone else adopt it. I had in my email that 5pm appointment confirmed and it was very disappointing how unorganized they were. They required I had a cage food and toys with me so I went out and bought everything for nothing. Very bad experience.

Heath Murray: YES WE MUST SAVE THOSE POOR LITTLE SQUIRTLES BY DRINKING FROM METAL STRAWS. GOOD ON YA AND YA WORK0- EMILIE AND HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK

Andrew Ball: I understand the COVID procedures, but I find the virtual appointments to be counterproductive when it comes to adoption. This is absolutely a philosophy thing when it comes to adopting dogs, but I want to see their reaction to my presence to gauge whether or not that I want to adopt. I am sure your shelter employees are well trained, but I have adopted dogs from shelters before and the reports we got with the dogs never matched the demeanor we saw. Which makes me leery about the process. Not for me, good luck other people.

Rosie Fischl: City Dogs has been beyond wonderful! I have two, large, goofy high energy dogs - Charley and Maverick- and they absolutely love it there. They always cry with excitement when we’re nearby and bolt inside when I drop off and they come home completely tuckered out and so happy. The staff is fantastic and they really do know you and your dogs. Great for boarding, grooming and day care.

T Bridgeman: The doctors at Indian Head Amnimal Hospital are fantastic! They really care about your pets. I have always had a positive experience here. As long as I have pets, my fur babies will always be patients here.

D Nartey Nurturing Daycare: Adopted a dog that previously had kennel cough the week prior to adoption. I checked on him midweek to see if he was well. He was being monitored for an upper respiratory infection. I was given the all clear that he was free of all symptoms. The adoption process felt rushed. As soon as I took him home, this animal had lots of mucous coming from his nose, severe hacking cough, and sneezing persistently. I called the humane society the next day and they couldn’t give me no advice on how to help him. I called around to all the emergency vets and it was $500 plus just to see him, run test and more. On top of that the humane society did not refund me my money. I only had him for two days. Good dog but very sick. All they want to do is get animals out the door and keep your money.
