Their website it by far one of the best sites I have been to that write such loving descriptions of each cat. The reason why I stopped by is because my significant other adopted a cat here in 2021. That cat ended up being such a sweetheart and a pivotal member of the family - even converting my dad into a cat person. This also sparked my brother into getting a cat too. It was all thanks to RHSPCA and their staff allowing my SO to adopt this particular long hairs orange cat that day.

I have a huge hole in my heart, that will never be filled.

My wife and I visited the Rappahannock Animal Welfare League Shelter in Staunton last week and we…read morewere impressed with the facility and in particular, the staff members which assisted us. We had made an appointment to look at a particular dog, but decided against adopting him.. Instead, we adopted a wee girl, Sandra, who was just over three months old.....We were allowed to "introduce" our German Shepherd (both a "mix" and a "rescue") to "Sandra" and the lady who was assisting us was patient and helpful to us, as the two dogs were introduced. Some folks don't seem to know that dogs may react positively or negatively when first introduced......it takes a bit of time to do it properly. We are pleased to say that In only a week, "Sandra", who is now "Jo-Jo" has adapted very well to our home and has become great friends and playmates with "Hailie", the German Shepherd. Many thanks to the folks at RAWL for assisting in making our adoption possible. We are greatly pleased with RAWL and their dedicated staff! R & R Bennett

I absolutely love the cville SPCA. We have had a few problems, mostly relating to the poor foster…read moreteam being completely slammed and overworked which is not their fault at all. Just know that they have a lot of people to help, and patience goes a long way! Here are three areas I will comment on: Fostering: The people who work here are very knowledgeable and care about their animals, and the cat were fostering right now is a total gem. Fostering is totally free, and they provide all the materials you need. They don't allow you to meet the animals ahead of time, so definitely be intuitive reading the foster board. Please look at the medical fosters too! Many of them ar totally healthy, like our cat, and are recovering from minor non contagious issues. The one we have is totally friendly and a great cat. Strays: I brought in one a couple months ago and the spca was able to microchip and check him to see if he was neutered. I brought in a second stray yesterday morning and called to check on him and the worker was so personable and we had a long conversation about his health. I was concerned they would be bothered with me calling to check but was surprised to find the total opposite. ALSO - they have pens in the back specifically for anonymous dumps. I absolutely hate when people drop cats off (I live in the city of cville so it happens all the time), but PLEASE take them to the spca instead. You can do so anonymously but it's so much more humane than leaving them on the street. Adoptions: the prices are really reasonable, and while I haven't adopted (yet), I know fostering is a great way to transition into adoption. I'm not sure theyre doing meets with the animals because of covid, but fostering is a free way to see if the animal fits in your house and you can adopt at any time. Overall, I love the SPCA and would always get a dog or cat from here rather than a breeder.

Our guy had been in the lonely hearts club since he had been at the shelter more than 6 months. That meant that his adoption fee was only $20! What a bargain for a dog that has been neutered, had his shots, a microchip & revolution flea & tick medication. If we had found a stray or been given a puppy we would have undoubtedly spent more than $500 on those things. Certainly the shelter is overwhelmed at the moment. The staff is doing the best that they can & most of the staff and volunteers are fostering one or more pets at home in addition to their good work at the shelter.
