One of the best shelters I've ever seen. We adopted our dog from there and couldn't be happier with the shelter and their care for the animals they house.

Such an incredible organization. This shelter loves and values each animal that passes through their doors and the teams are dedicated to placing each pet in the best home possible. I am not a candidate for dog adoption as I have a two year old toddler, but it’s completely understandable as to why certain policies are in place. When my daughter is older, we will most definitely adopt a dog from HOKAFI.

If you try to adopt here, do not answer any questions regarding whether your current cat is an indoor/outdoor, even if that means they are in a fenced backyard and rarely spend time outside. I was disqualified from adopting here because 20 minutes of outdoor time a week for my cat in a supervised environment is considered a "red flag".

I have been volunteering here for about 18 months and absolutely love it! It's difficult to get out of bed Saturday and Sunday mornings, but when I arrive in my room and the kitties swarm me in greeting, it is all worthwhile. The staff and other volunteers are so devoted to the care of the animals and the buildings are clean, organized and well stocked. Routine and regular veterinary care is provided and all health issues are addressed promptly. There is so much love at the facility! I treat my "weekend kids" as if they are my own, and miss them when I am not there.

The staff is always amazing and does a wonderful job nursing animals back to health that have been abandoned or rescued by other people. I've adopted over 10 cats from this shelter over the years and have two special needs of my own at the moment. The staff here is always available (within reason of course) to respond to questions in the first couple weeks of having a new rescue for advice. Whenever possible, I pick up items to donate towards the shelter and take a few moments to visit the many rooms and pet the cats and dogs.

Horrible people refusing to adopt to our family due to trick questions involving whether we would get the cat declawed or not in the future. You turned away a great home for an animal due to your selfishness. You have no idea what is inhumane and declawing a cat is not. Business run by Biden loving Karen’s.Do not adopt from these people they are horrible. I got a kitten anyway so sad your cats are sitting with no home.Update I will tell as many people as I can about this you people are horrible.

I cannot say enough good things about HOKAFI. I had inquired about Tyson, and Kathy got back to me that same day. We went to visit him shortly after. The facility was immaculate, and the cats had lots of room and all looked so comfortable and happy. We put in our application that day and were approved in about a week. After we brought Tyson home, anytime I had a question, Kathy was just a text away. Tyson is the BEST cat -- he is so loving even with strangers, he is great with getting his nails clipped, he is a perfect gentleman at the vet -- I attribute a lot of this to the love and care he received from the HOKAFI volunteers.Many people think it's better to adopt from a kill shelter than a no-kill shelter, but when you adopt from a no-kill shelter, you open a spot for another cat in need to await their forever home at a wonderful place like HOKAFI.

Many, many years ago, a former boss of mine volunteered here. Around the time I had to put my 19 year old cat down, Karen finally talked me into at least coming to meet "Bubbles." Well, I wasn't sure I wanted to take on a cat with health issues, but I did decide to adopt a little grey tiger named Christmas . . . and I adopted "Peaches," too. They weren't sure of her age - they figured she was around 6 or so, but in bad health when she came to HOKAFI, hence my hesitation. But Peaches was such a joy to have that when I had to finally put her down, I had her cremated and her ashes sit on my dresser. I haven't had to adopt any kitties since - that's a story for another time, but I wouldn't ever hesitate to adopt from here!
