Stella has added so much to my life! She is a joy....playful, a lap cat, and a shadow. Everywhere I go in the house, she follows me. I She loves watching the toilet flush..weird. Staff was very professional, facility clean and well run.

I've now adopted cats from here twice, both are absolute treasures! The staff here is super friendly and they'll help you meet your new best friend. They do great work in the area, making sure every pet is taken care of. The cats came microchipped, spayed/neutered, up to date on all vaccines, and they give you the pets medical history to take to their first vet appointment (which is free!). Go find you best friend and save a local animal today!

I adopted both my cats here. They do an in depth intake medical exam, feed them well, and staff and volunteers seem to care a great deal for every single animals well being. I love this place and what they do.

Came in to check out the cats for adoption and I was very impressed with the cleanliness and organization of the facility, the friendly and knowledgeable staff, and how well treated the cats were in this very difficult time for them. We'll be coming back to adopt one next week, and supporting this SPCA as long as we're in the area for sure!

Amazing group of staff and volunteers who work so hard to rescue, care for and help find forever homes to countless animals every year. Best of all - they have the proof to show. Save a life - adopt, don’t buy from breeders.

Best place to adopt a fur baby. The staff is very polite, amazing and super helpful. All the animals were well kept and happy.

They were amazing helping us find our little Annie! The staff is amazing, it was so clean there and she is such a happy princess!

Good, clean facilities. I'll be honest, the people working seemed to play dumb about the needs of the highly reactive animals, but I guess if you wait for the perfect home it's never going to come around so you make do with what comes through the door.So that said, obviously do your research. Make sure you know what you're getting into. They exist to save the animals, and if they can find a home for one that absolutely wouldn't otherwise, they'll make a push for it.They are, of course, still doing excellent work.

We have been here two times, one time in late 2021 and the last time in July of 2023. In July of 2023 we adopted a beautiful kitten with the help of the knowledgeable staff. We dealt mostly with Emily, and she worked with us through the adoption process. She understood that we wanted to look at another facility before deciding on the kitten we wanted to adopt, and she worked with us while we did this. Emily has the best interests of the animals in mind, she is a great person, very caring and easy to work with. As far as the kitten we decided on well when the quiet one isn’t so quiet when you walk in the door, it’s an obvious choice. That and there is an instant bond when you hold them. The staff saw that and listened to how we care for our animals, this helped us make the right decision. The location is a beautiful one, it is clean, quiet, it seems busy but not overwhelmingly busy. This is a great home for those that are waiting to go to their forever home. The staff is truly kind, compassionate, and attentive. There are several volunteers who we saw, they all seem knowledgeable and love what they are doing. With this being a college town, there are a lot of young people spending time with the kittens and cats, it is obvious that this is a benefit to both the animals and the young people, and volunteers. We would highly recommend this place when looking to adopt a cat or dog a forever home.

We adopted this sweet smart dog in January 2012. He has brought us so much enjoyment and has become our faithful loving friend.

It’s a great place for adoption. The staff is very nice, patient, caring and very professional. My cat was adopted from here two years ago and now she is the most important family member of our family. My friends also adopted their cats from here.

My husband and I adopted our kitten from here. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable in helping us pick the perfect kitten for our family. Several months later I returned here again because a feral cat had kittens under our house, but then got spooked and left the tiny little guys for over two days. When I called the SPCA they immediately took the kittens and found them a foster family to care for them until they could be adopted out. Great work, very helpful and caring people!

The guy who helped us was very rude to us we found a pair of cats and were told they would get along well with our kitten and I really wanted them instead of helping us the guy kicked us out and told us we couldn’t take them. We expressed we were having a baby and I was really excited to take the cats but because I was having a baby he said no he said that we didn’t understand at all what he was saying but I understood very well!! I recommend not going here they will show you the pets and tell you to get out very rude!! They just wanna keep the animals locked up forever I will NEVER go there again and I will tell all my friends and family not to go there!!

A friend of ours fosters motherless kittens for the SPCA of Tompkins County... Which is how we met Zeddy, our fourth rescue cat. We adopted him as soon as he was big enough to come home. Zedward P. Scetti is a polydactyl tuxedo cat and being a bottle baby, he is the most people cat we've ever had. Love him to pieces, just like the other three! 💗

The people were very nice. The shelter was clean and smelled fresh. Visitors are told to use hand sanitizer before and between handling the animals. Adoption was easy.

On multiple occasions they have went out of there way to help our animals. I couldn't begin to thank them enough for everything they have done.

I found three kittens in my drainage pipe and because I didn't live in Tompkins county they couldn't help. And the guy on the phone was very rude. Those kittens ended up getting hit all besides one that my girlfriend took.

My 9 month old cat was neutered and given his shots and was micro chipped on a Tuesday; by Thursday he was not eating and sleeping a lot, unable to bear weight on his front leg; Friday he is admitted to the vet with a serious infection and high fever (very close to death). I had called the SOS line to be blown off NOT once, NOT twice but 3 times telling me it was not a surgical problem it sounded like he had a virus yet they wouldn’t even see him to check the hot red wound on his belly, as well as a foul odor from his surgical sight. I paid for the surgery as well as left a donation to get my little guy back and have his health decline so fast. Luckily I was able to find him and emergency vet who was willing to help me help my little guy. It’s been 3 days and nights at the vet and he is finally improving, but you can guarantee the SPCA will NOT help with a bill for a problem that they caused. If you have a vet or even a longer wait time at your own vet I highly recommend that you have your spay and neuter a done with them and not here!!!
