The staff here are all kind and knowledgeable, and the volunteers are genuinely caring towards the animals. The foster program is pretty amazing as well. I'm fostering a cat right now that is available for adoption! Look at her!
I called in the donate cat food that was expensive and geriatric cat does not want. The phone convo was welcoming and great. I rushed there excited that this expensive cat food will be put into good use (yes I am unfairly unemployed) only to be a mistaken as delivery driver from an app for human food! Talk about entitlement and exclusivity. They have pit pulls photos as examples up for adoption which is also great and gave me hopes of the integrity of this place. Since I am considering moving out state to hopefully buy my first home some where sane as a single woman I want to get an aggressive breed for protection. Since I grew up around pit pulls and such I know what a commitment they are. I asked if they have options where I can get re adjusted to being confident in owning one full time again. Of course they only offer adoption and foster care (not able to foster care here sadly). I also had the only option of dropping the food in the outside bin (hello! Do these people know animals!?). So it is fair to say I have donated to the raccoons and skunks in our area whom I adore anyways. But still...I don't think this establishment knows what they are doing.
Also guess what type of new model vehicle with a certain bumper sticker on from recent month. Only the kind that treat working class that are from here like aliens.
So I got my kitten from them over a year ago and he was recently diagnosed with a congenital hernia meaning his insides are into his pericardium sac and he was in deed born this way my baby keeps coughing and hacking the only way to see this was an X-ray I m not sure if they run s rays on all animals but he needs a surgery and the doctor dosnt think it will even work. I gotta put him down. This is the saddest thing I ve dealt with in my life I wish I could have known before very rare but only if he got a X-ray I would have known. I as in the process of finding out if they run them on kittens for adoption. He has been a lucky cat to survive this long.
Wonderful, friendly staff and great facility. Excellent safety precautions being taken for COVID19.
During covid this shelter is open by appointment only. There are plenty of animals looking for forever homes. The staff are kind and knowledgeable.
This place is amazing and Sandra was fabulous at introducing the new member of our family.
We came there with one of our daughter and Sandra introduced us to who would become our new pet. This cute Brioche was the perfect fit: independent, curious, fun and super social, we knew we wanted to be with her all of her life.
Sandra was incredible at answering the questions for our daughter around cat needs and development.
She then applied these tips and did setup a nice home environment for Brioche in her room.
It was during COVID and the place is very well organized and safe. They let us have a room with our new pet for over 30minutes and this felt very homey.
We will only go back to pet in need to welcome more pets in our family!
Thanks so much
Called in hopes of being able to turn in some stray kittens since it was the only available place. They would take the stray kittens in but because I live in East Palo Alto they will not offer me their services and refer me to Peninsula Humane Society. PHS is about 20 minutes away from where I live which is in EPA.
Pets in Need PA is about 5 minutes away from me and because of my location I m turned away.
I m trying to do the right thing and help poor stray kittens and their mama just to be told my living location isn t what they desire to help.
Wish Pets In Need PA was more accesible. Very disappointed in this.
