I was casually looking for a dog this past year. Not quite finding what I was trying to get. I…read moredecided to take a peek at the availability of cats. First of all I am a "dog person" but have always been appreciative of cats. Especially polydactyl (Hemmingway) cats. So I searched. That's when I found Kalamazoo Animal Rescue and this beautiful young Domestic Short-haired black & white Tuxedo polydactyl female. We were put in touch with Suzanne A. Who turned out to be a fantastic representative of KAR. I appreciated the seriousness of the interview questions. When my wife & I met Elizabeth it was an instant connection. You can tell the excellent care "Lizzie" received as a foster cat in the care of Suzanne. It's been close to 9 months now since we adopted Elizabeth. What joy, love & happiness Lizzie has brought into our home. She has become the center of attention. I have shook up alot of family & friends who now have to think of me as that "Cat Dude". I can't completely express my gratitude for KAR & Suzanne. I highly recommend KAR if you are a responsible pet owner. Lizzie was spayed, shots up to date & chipped. We also received her folder with complete vet records. Again I recommend KAR. Kent & Laura Mercer

Instead of acknowledging the fact that I was doing…read morethe right thing, the lady there, who appeared to have a position of authority, was very snide and agitated with me. I detected a note of suspicion on her part and otherwise she was nothing but dismissive. Any attempt to express kindness was rewarded with a blank regression, tinted with notes of loath. She asked me if the animal "originated" at my property. I didn't quite understand her question since it appeared to be a word salad, possibly on purpose. I told her I wasn't sure where the cat came from, only that I had found it at my back door, meowing. The lady kept widening her eyes at me here and there, like there was something wrong with me. I thought for a moment she might have been considering involving Law Enforcement, the way her eyes kept popping out of her head. Sad, since people have worse options for pets in need of care, and I absolutely won't go in there again unless I have no other option for the welfare of the animal. I felt completely alienated in a place where everyone SHOULD be encouraged and welcomed to utilize these kind of resources when necessary.

This review is for a spay appointment we had in January, 2021. What a way to start the new year! First, the new building! It looks so beautiful from the outside. Clean, well-designed, and you can tell that it is them from the enormous dog statue inside! :) For pandemic spay appointments, you call in and reserve a spot on the calendar when they open the schedule for new bookings. I had to wait over an hour on the phone, but that is because they were closed for almost 2 months, I believe, because of the move. The phone staff were incredibly patient and kind. We drove up on the day of Rosencrantz's appointment, as directed. We waited in line while staff went car to car and ascertained who we were, and put an identifier on our car under the windshield wiper. We filled out the paperwork. Note: Everyone must be masked, and the cat had to be in a hard-sided carrier, per their emailed instructions. The staff members were masked and I felt safe in conversing with them. Then your car gets to the front of the line, and you hand over the carrier. Poor Rosencrantz was so unsure of what was going on! But I digress. At 4-4:30, you drive back and wait in line to pick up your pet. When we were able to get R, the staff member delivering her was very kind and patient with his time, while we asked questions and he gave specific directions. One thing that would have been good to put on the original directions is to quarantine them to a small room for a while, once you get home, and to have fresh litter. Upon reflection, that makes TOTAL sense, but sometimes we don't think ahead. The price was SO reasonable: $40 for a spay, and $20 for 2 vaccines. That price is much appreciated. It is able to be so low because of grants and other funding (thank you!). In all of our interactions with staff, everyone was SO kind and caring. I never felt rushed or had an unanswered question. Highly recommended!

Had an appointment to take my dog to get spayed since it's half the cost of a vets office. When you…read moreget there you have to go in sans dog to check in. I didn't think the people in the parking lot waiting for the place to open were very polite. I was the 2nd car in the lot but other people ran in front of me to check in so I became #4 (not the fault of the Humane Society!). After you check in you go get your dog, but you have to wait until the person in front of you has checked their dog in before you go. Which was kind of a problem in the freezing cold. Especially since I didn't want to lose my spot again to everyone else that was jumpy! My dog was fine after the surgery. She was drugged up so very lethargic but overall everything with the surgery went well. The staff was very nice and friendly. They were talking to the dogs and the people. I wish they would just have a better system to drop off that could be less of a run for it method!

So having a pet companion is important. Not to mention, great inspiration for drawings. In the year and a half, since our dog passed away my wife and I would venture out to the Humane Society just to pet animals. It is a beautiful place. Very clean. Well-maintained. Filled with caring volunteers and staff. You can see the love when they talk about the animals to you. First, we pet a puppy. And then asked to see a dog my wife had found on their website. Her name was Jewel. She was a nervous one and a half year-old terrier. Who had kind of a rough way. The puppy was an easy answer, but Jewel stole our hearts. The agency was honest about her issues and offered us a test drive. For two weeks we would take Jewel. The Society would give us everything that we needed to care for her. Food, bed, toys, medication. We signed up. We took her home. We worked out the kinks and learned her. She is a loving dog who just needed a little extra time and care. I will always recommend going to the Humane Society or any facility that offers rescues. She may not be a puppy, but she has a lot of love to give. And the Capital Area Humane Society is simply outstanding. We may come back again to get her a friend. But for now, we cannot say enough about this experience. Good form.

The facility is pretty large and has three rooms for the cats, but they also have many cats in foster homes. We got a tour from a friendly volunteer who introduced us to all the cats and let us hang out with the kittens. Since it was their anniversary party, they also had food and refreshments. We loved seeing all the cute cats and most were very friendly, although some were (understandably) napping. They take donations throughout the year, so I'm planning on saving up more cans to drop off. They also host events and you can visit them during their open hours on the weekends. They do have a suggested donation of $10 for visiting, which I think is really reasonable for the good work they are doing for these cute furry friends!
