Overall, we've had pretty good experiences with angel for Animals. We've gotten Six cats from them. One cat we got from them died within a year. She She suddenly fell ill. It was suspected she had feline leukemia. Two other cats we recently adopted from the same place developed severe bronchial infections, but we returned them for treatment. We were given medication for them, and they are now recovering well. I believe they make a genuine effort.They do seem to care for their animals, but with that many animals I suppose there would be problems but that they're willing to help you when the animals are sick is huge. read more

You show up to have an animal taking care of. No one knows where you need to go, they send you to three different rooms or buildings to go to. Just to wind up back at the first one. Also, their staff doesn't understand what goes on in some of the procedures. My family took in a cat that we are rescuing to have fixed. They told us that they could fix her while she's pregnant and the kittens would be fine. Went to pick her up to find out that the kittens were aborted. From my two experiences here. I wouldn't recommend anyone to go. read more

Nearly impossible to get ahold of, leave a voicemail and get a call back sometimes days later if at all. Adopted my beagle from here in 2020 and since i moved to another state and came back home they will not treat him since he hasn't been there in over 18 months because they're no longer accepting new patients. I think that's ridiculous to turn away a dog that was adopted from YOUR facility. Probably for the best as they've just gotten harder and harder to get ahold of throughout the years. Maybe hire more staff and you could keep up with the demand! read more

Sherri in the cat department needs to improve her customer service skills. Unfortunately, both experiences I have had with the cat department were negative, and the way the situations were handled did not feel like effective damage control. I believe there is an opportunity for better communication, empathy, and follow-through when addressing customer concerns (especially adopting out sick cats when I called and emailed ((with proof!!)) multiple times asking if my cat has any issues before adopting him) read more

I agree 100% with the reviewer who stated they were impossible to get a hold of. They also cater to cats--not surprising since the feral cat population is so out of control. Not their fault. It is impossible to get an appointment for dog spay/neutering. read more

They stole my cats. When I was transitioning into a new place, my cats were safe, fed and checked on daily. They went into where they were being kept and took them. They lied about it. Fug them. I had to pick at least one star. read more

The lady who spoke to my friend about canceling an appt was literally laughing at her, telling her to save money and get the rescue a full work up and then come back. After stating she didn't have the money, she literally kept laughing!! saying, "I do not care..." It was soooo nasty! read more

This is a scam! prices are not accurate. pre exam for dental is 40$ not 15$ call and ask cost. Overpriced most vets are less expensive

STOLE OUR CAT, LYING TO US. Found our cat as a kitten, no more than 8 weeks old. Brought her to vet to check for chip, no chip. Looked for ads claiming she was missing and looked out for signs, nothing Moved to Ohio, and now almost a YEAR LATER, went to have her fixed. Angles office is claiming she was chipped but the number was disconnected. That was 2 days ago, I've been calling for updates and they won't answer the phone. finally talked with the manager and she claiming our cat was returned. TO FLORIDA, I HIGHLY DOUBT IT! THEY WILL NOT PROVIDE PROOF OF ANY OF THIS HAPPENING. THEY STOLE OR CAST, OR WORST. read more

$20 spaying really helped with two cats. Helpful staff. Ample parking. Would use them again

I am reading all of these negative posts and I have a hard time believing them. I have adopted most of my cats from Angels and they are fantastic. How anyone can say they don't care about these animals is just plain crazy. The employees there know each and everyone of these animals, their personalities, their habits, if they have any illnesses (which they disclose). One of my babies even had to go back a couple times after adopting her because she was ill, but they took care of her free of charge. I will admit that I don't care for the Vet Center and I ultimatley found a new vet, but it wasn't because they gave my cats poor care. They just didn't ever have available appointments if my cats needed anything more than vaccines. But the shelter itself is wonderful, and wonderfully run. read more

I can not speak to anybody else's experience but mine was fantastic. I drove 1.5 hours to visit the beautiful cats in this shelter. Staff was super transparent about medical & behavioral issues with cats. The vet care that they receive while in the shelter is amazing. My 5 yo gal had a full dental done. Everybody was friendly & helpful. Prices were fair & the set-up for meeting cats was awesome. I highly recommend. read more

The very best caring people work at this shelter. This includes Diane, Sherry and tons of others. My last 2 cats were adopted here, a Maine Coon and a Turkish Angora, one never knows the hidden treasures you can find here. if you don't need a pet, then please get out your wallet or checkbook and donate to save the darling fur babies in this shelter. Look at the list of things that they need on Amazon, and send some love that way. Purrs from R, B, Kimber, and Liefje read more

I decided to leave a review due to all the negatives (which seem to be more about cats) I took my 1 1/2 old male GSD here to get neutered. He's extremely nervous (GSD for ya) with vets and I told them that going in. The lady at the check in offered me to get some pre meds to help with his anxiety. They took me back and my dog flipped out per usual. Thrashing around, running around like a mad man. The actual vet surgeon, dr Parker was so nice and very calm with him. She nor her staff got frustrated with my nervous boy. They let me stay back till he was sedated so he could be as calm as possible. They are a busy place and I will say the lady at check out was super rude to us. But the techs and surgeon were so amazing. They made my mind be at ease. They even let me pick up early since he's so scared so we didn't deal with the rush. read more

I can't say I had any problems when I took my calico cat there 4yrs ago they spayed her cut nails she was fine no problems. Unfortunately many shelters are euthenizing so sad there are so many unfixed cats out there and people need to spay and nueter their pets. read more

PLEASE do not take your cats or little kittens you might find to Angels for Animals !!!! I have heard from multiple sources that they euthanize kittens that are not adopted within 8 months. Even taking your pets there for veterinary work is providing this organization with more financial resources to euthanize kittens with. Please share this information with others and please do not give them your business. I am absolutely disgusted that this place pretends to be a safe haven for cats when it seems that their only interest is in cats that will make them money in adoption fees. I would not have my kitty Hope today if it was not for the kind people who drove her all the way out to a different animal shelter after Angels for Animals told them they'd euthanize her if they dropped her off there. Before I knew Angels for Animals did this, I used to volunteer there, and I will never forget a really nice family bringing in a litter of baby kittens who had lost their mother and needed to be bottle fed. I heard a worker at Angels for Animals tell this family that they'd euthanize the entire litter of kittens if they left them there with them. Thankfully this family was good-hearted enough not to. An amazing alternative to Angels for Animals is New Lease on Life in Struthers, which adopts out both cats, dogs, and other animals. They rescue adoptable animals from other shelters where they're about to be euthanized. Thank God for this shelter, because if our middle-kitty, Weasley, had been at Angels for Animals, he also would've been euthanized (he was nearing 8 months old when we adopted him and New Lease on Life had saved him from a shelter in PA with similar practices that was going to euthanize him). read more

**Update** We called the shelter this morning a little less angry to try and find out what happened. They offered no explanation as to why our fosters weren't returned. But they did manage to try and shame us for not being able to catch the 5th kitten or the mother. Nice ANGELS FOR ANIMALS ARE UNTRUSTWORTHY Do not take animals to this organization. They are liars. They took our foster cats when they had loving homes lined up and re-fostered them. THEY TOLD US THAT THEY HAD BEEN ADOPTED!!! 3 months later I see the first picture posted. THEY DENIED THEM LOVING HOMES What about the other cats my family have taken there? Do BC and Vlad have homes? I guess we'll never know... I'm beside myself thinking that the animals I was told had good loving homes are still in the shelter waiting for their fur-evers. I can't even contemplate why they would lie to us about this... Disgusting and utterly bizarre read more

The owner takes peoples animals from there yard if she determines they aren't being taken care of. Then you have to go there and threaten them to get your animals back read more

This place is terrible. Both cats i adopted several years apart had intestinal infections. So if you do adopt plan on a trip to the vet (hopefully not them) to get them healthy again. If you do go to adopt consider it a life saving mission for the animal. I wouldn't wish angels for animals on any animal. Its a terrible place for an animal to end up. read more

Worst service ever!!! Extremely unprofessional!! Adopted a senior cat, had her for 2 months and no matter how patient we were with her she just wasn't a good fit for our family. We wanted so badly for it to work out but unfortunately we returned her. My son filled out the questioner upon the return and handed the cat over in the carrier that he transported her in with a fleece blanket inside for comfort. The following day he realized they never gave him the carrier or blanket back after completing the paperwork. He stopped to pick up our belongings on the next business day. They said they threw them away.....wth?! I called to see where my personal belongings are and again I was told they threw them away. Both Shari and Leslie were extremely rude with me and said I forfeited my items when I returned the cat and my personal carrier & blanket have been thrown away. I've also been told that i an banned from future adoptions and if i step foot in the premises that they will call the cops. ALL OVER A CARRIER AND A BLANKET THAT DOES NOT BELONG TO THEM. WORST PLACE EVER TO ADOPT!!!!! At this point it's not about the items..... it's about the concept. THEY ARE THIEVES!!! read more

Took my Female Rottweiler to be spayed . 1 month she was not healing properly call to make an appointment to have her seen. Text in a picture,do you have the paper work? ect ect all I wanted was to have her seen. Will never use them again. Terrible service would give zero stars read more

The name of this place should be "devils for animals" A bunch of people who run an organization yet don't give a flying **** about the animals. Most of these animals are being borderline neglected and I'm pretty sure it is a non profit. They have a clinic in here and yet most of the animals have so many illnesses that were left untreated until adoption. Speaking of adoption, good luck adopting from this place. They have an absurd amount of unspoken rules but basically I will sum it out for you. They would rather keep these animals locked up in cages than let anyone who is younger than 30 or older than 35 adopt. You also have no shot if you live in an apartment or any other type of home besides a house. You also need to make sure if you have a family of 4 your household income is 6 figures or above but make sure you don't actually have to go to work or they will be worried you are going to neglect your pet. Anyways, about a decade ago I used to look up to this place but now whoever is running it is just honestly beyond delusional. It is going downhill fast. Do better and maybe start caring about getting animals out of the shelter where you cannot care for them instead of worrying about if the person who is paying a fortune is going to kill the pet. Let's be for real here. Obviously it's important that the animal gets into a good and long term home but if you make that impossible most of them are going to die in there. Not very angel of you devils. read more

Love our two kittens that we adopted from Angels for Animals. They were wonderful to work with and they really take great care of their cats

Emailed about dropping off a stray kitten we've been taking care of. Took her in and then refused to respond to any calls or emails when I was inquiring on foster status. You see, after I dropped her off I read in several places they euthanize drop offs. I immediately reached out and offered to pick the kitten back up. Three emails and two phone calls. Nothing. I'm assuming they killed her. At least have the courtesy and compassion to return a phone call or email. That's right. A July 21 drop off of a beautiful black and white, friendly and helpful kitten. Diane Should be ashamed of this. read more

These negative Reviews, are unbelievable. I've been there, had 11 Cats and Kittens fixed. EVERYONE WAS FRIENDLY! I need to call them, again, I live in the country, and have had Pregnant Cats dropped off. I'm currently with over 15, cats and kittens. I will keep everyone of them, but they all need fixed, and their Shots. They have a nice Shelter for cold weather months. No judging please, I won't get rid of them. They deserve a great life too. Organizations, such as this one, make it affordable, for me, as I am a Widow. read more

I took my boss' kitten there because she was sick and also bc she needed to go. They gave her a booster, cut her nails, did a fear treatment and that was all. She is still sick, 4 weeks later. And when I called they looked at her file and the not from the doc said she was sick but nothing was done to help her get better! This kitten has had it rough from day one it seems and then this bs happens. If I wasn't so broke I'd take her somewhere else, even though she's not mine. read more

adopted my dog from there and it was a great experience and know a few older people that help out in the cat rooms and give their time cleaning and doing laundry for them for years now.So if it was such a horrible place I think I would of heard by now it goes to show you that you can't please everyone as you can tell by some of the nasty reviews come on people give them a break they are trying to make a difference when there are a lot of people that just don't do the right thing ! read more

You can't make it more difficult to adopt an animal in need then cry you have to many animals. There is a Cat there we were wanting but with all the hoops you have to jump through It makes it not worth it. You fill out an application and who knows if you get called back and make an appointment to maybe get to see the animal you're interested in. read more

I was worried about coming to this place to adopt my cat from all the reviews that I read on them. Man am I glad I came. I drove an hour away meeting and adoption is a same day process. *I would recommend getting on their website and filling out the application before showing up* I got in and out in under an hour. They were extremely nice and friendly, and quick with the process of adoption. I would highly recommend coming here to adopt because they have tons of cats and dogs ranging from 1-2 months to adults. There is also a little section to buy toys, collars and leashes for your pets. read more

I have adopted two kitties from Angles for Animals over the last two years. The staff has been wonderful. Sherry is always very helpful in the adoption process. I even received a follow up call from Lee regarding Bailey who I adopted last year. Lee was checking in to see if everything was OK. The shelter is doing an amazing job time in very trying times. My experience with Angles for Animals has only been positive. read more

I rarely leave reviews but I think Angels is getting a bum rap in some of these reviews. I have adopted 5 cats from here and fostered a few. As with any place, there is only so much room at the inn. I can attest the lengths they go to, having received emails hoping I could foster just one more..... I also take my cats there for their basic medical. Yearly shots and rabies. Never had a problem. Last time I was there as always I let them know my purr baby bites and gave them the warning signs. Sure enough, she went for a nip as she was getting her yearly. Tech was great and maneuvered quick. read more

Well none of these bad reviews surprise me. This place is horriable and filled with nasty and unprofessional people that work there including the one who runs it. She's nasty and her personality is like a wet towel. I called needing her help one time as a group home on the Northside of Youngstown closed and there were many stay cats left with no shelter or food. I asked for her help and instead of helping me she turned me away and basically told me not to bother her, as they don't help with strays. She never offered any info on who could help me and hung up. Be ashame of yourselves killing all these poor baby kittens. read more

Took my 1 year old German Shepherd to get some vaccines today. When we first walked into the exam room the staff just brushed off the nails from previous dogs onto the floor. They are not very sanitary it's disgusting. Plus, Staff was extremely rude. I had my girl muzzled because she can be skittish with dogs and people. Got asked by the doctor if my dog has had any training. Yes, quite in fact my dog has had lots of training but I'm sorry if my girl doesn't want to sit still while someone jabs her 3 times in the leg with a needle. Didn't seem like they knew what they were doing. The lady that was with the doctor assuming the vet tech couldn't get the blood drawn from my dogs leg and was getting frustrated with my dog. They were extremely rude and should've had someone restrain my girl like most vet places do. I will never take any of my animals here again. read more

Called very upset over having to rehome my fur baby that was recently diagnosed with S.A.R.D.S (sudden blindness) because We just lost our home.Diane the lady that answered the phone was very rude and uncompassionte.Asked if my dog was spayed and when I said No she started laughing then as I'm crying saying I don't know what to do she hung up on me! Would not recommend anyone trusting their fur baby with these heartless people!!! read more

This place is a disaster and a half. Went straight into the toilet since the last time I took a dog here and will never be going back. Go to drop off my dog for a neuter. Myself and the people who came in right after got yelled at - literally yelled at and scolded, like children, by staff - that they can't have the dogs in there and to get out. If you don't want us bringing our dogs in during check-in, then you should have included that info in the confirmation email and/or reminder email. Or even the instructions on the website. There were two other dogs already in there, but we were made to wait outside. So, double standard much? If you're so strict about this rule, then everyone should have to follow it. Which, by the way, is also a safety issue when you're asking owners to leave dogs in hot cars for a long period of time. We waited outside for at least 20 mins before getting called back. Sure, I'd totally leave my dog in a car for that long. As though dogs don't sit together in a lobby at a vets office all the time. My husband stayed inside to check our dog in where he told me the staff continued to be extremely rude to everyone. He almost walked out - and he has a long fuse. He also got to overhear a distraught woman who had brought in a momma cat and kittens who had been dumped at her door. Angels took the mom in but refused to take the kittens, who were nursing and only about a week old. They took a mother cat away from her nursing kittens and told this woman too bad on the kittens; because she gave them food and water, they were hers. They also made her pay them to take the momma cat to "cover the spay." They spayed a milk-producing mother cat that needs to be with her babies. Who, by the way, are sick now (shocking) and this woman was desperate for help, but all the staff would do was tell her to make an appointment with the vet. Are you kidding me? We get there for pick-up and walk in a couple minutes early with a few other people...where we all proceeded to wait until about 10 til 5 for them to finally start giving our dogs back. Pick-up is 4:30 to 5 (and cats are supposed to start picking-up at 5, mind). They had paperwork to finish. Seriously? We're here waiting, so maybe start calling people up to the desk that you have finished? There's two of you there. Even when we started being able to go up, only one of them was actually checking us out. Total joke. And, naturally, they weren't apologetic about anything in the least and had no sense of urgency about getting things moving. Oh, and while it's listed on the website about how they put a small green tattoo on the dogs by the incision site (which I don't particularly care for in and of itself), no where is it mentioned that they put a silver spray over the area, nor did anyone bother telling us this beforehand, and it's not listed anywhere on the aftercare instructions which we were given at check-in. It was only when the vet tech was giving us all the take home speech in the lobby did they bother to say they did this...spray some stuff on their incision sites so if they lick it turns their nose silver... Really? Thanks for spraying some chemical on my dog without permission, that I don't know what's in it, and potentially cause some kind of reaction. Frankly, you did something without my consent, and that's the quickest way to piss me off. I can't even clean it off because I don't want to get water near the stitches or irritate the site. So, thanks so much for that. TL;DR: F*** this place. read more

For adoption this is an incredibly affordable shelter. They had so many loveable animals when I went a while ago. My partner and I went in for a kitten but we came out with a four year old cat that I won't trade for the world. She won me over when she jumped up to my chest and purred there like she was home! Anyhow, the staff are very knowledgeable here and want you find an animal who will be yours forever. They have a lovely facility with a ton of enrichment for the cats and they have a ton of cats available. We went to several other facilities but they simply didn't have that many cats available, or you couldn't really interact with them. Here you are able to enter rooms, greet the cats and get to know them in their own environment. I highly recommend this shelter. read more

This saddens me to do this. I usually don't leave a review period, but this time it is warranted. My mother took my and her cat in this morning. It is an extremely far drive for her and so she was late. Apparently if you are late they give your spot to the next person in a waiting list. And to add insult to energy they make you pay a fee of $20 to "hold your spot" no where in the disclaimer does it state that they would give your spot away. I would understand if they couldn't get ahold of someone, but they never even tried! This just straight disgusted me and I will NEVER go there again. read more
