Wonderful place to adopt a pet!

Wonderful place to adopt a pet!
The ASPCA adoption center is excellent. First, it's sparkling clean, and the cages where the pets (in my case, cats) are kept are well maintained. I went there 3 times before I made a decision -- there were so many kitties that I was overwhelmed with choice. I finally chose a 1-year old cat (kitten?) who was actually in the main floor enclosed area with many cats and no cages. The staff takes a detailed history of the prospective owner to make sure the pet is in good hands, and they have a fairly detailed report on the adopted pet, including history of shots and behavioral issues (if any). The follow-up by email was very welcome, and in fact, I ended up speaking with someone a month later to discuss some behavioral issues and how to deal with them. My recommendation is to go on a weekday, since it is generally quieter and you don't have to wait long for a volunteer to take you to where the cats (or dogs) are. All in all, the ASPCA does a great job and you will know a great deal about the pet you decide to adopt.
