    This is a wonderful shelter for a wide range of cats. There are so many different cats with different looks, different personalities, and different needs (several pictured here, available to adopt). They provide lots of love, personalized care, inside and outside spaces, and of course all of the necessities here. They are a small independent non-profit with limited space and operated mostly through volunteers. Based on space and staffing, they may understandably not be at the same level of responsiveness and social media presence as businesses or larger shelters.

    RUDE!! I called asking for help for a depressed kitty that I was doing everything possible to keep…read morefrom sending her to a kill shelter. I called and left a message explaining that she was a particular kind of kitty and best suited in a home where she was the only pet. A man called me back, he didn't even bother to ask me any questions. he was clearly exasperated, in fact, he sounded almost insulted that I had even bothered to call them for help in the first place. He told me that they can't take a cat who can't be around other cats. Well, she's dead now. She got sick, so I could not, in good conscience, get rid of her, or send her to a shelter. So, I worked with her, until she could go no further. Hyperthyroidism was the disease and she did not respond well to the medication. In the end, we had to make the agonizing end of life decision for her and we let her go. Of course, she would have gotten sick, regardless of whether the shelter stepped up to help, or not, but I am still posting this because it is abundantly clear that they do not want to have to go above and beyond for the cats. They just want it to make pretend that they do.

Stacey, the boss, loves what she does a d practically bends over backwards to help her fosters and adopters. We like to keep it small that way we really know the personality of all of our cats and match them up with appropriate fosters and adopters. All cats are 95$ which covers spay/neuter, micro-chipping, age-appropriate shots, FIV/FeLV testing, and any other necessary medical care completed. Food, litter, and money donations are all accepted and go directly to animal upkeep.

    This service could be very beneficial to the community, but unfortunately it falls short.

They wanted $35 to take the dog in, but told us we could opt to keep the dog and try to find the owner ourselves. Which is what we decided to do. The Humane Society took all of the dog's information and put it into a database that they said would also be listed on Found!, a local pet finder service. The HS gave us a control number and told us to take photos and email the photos along with the control number to Found!, which we did at 2:37 pm on Sunday. I also put a listing on Craigslist to help expand the search. We also kept checking the Found! website throughout the day and evening on Sunday to see if the dog's listing was posted. It was never listed. Well, we found the dogs owner through Craigslist the very next day. The owner said she called the Humane Society several times and kept checking the Found! website, but with no result. It was on a whim that she checked Craigslist on Monday. We never heard from Found! until Tuesday at 3:37 pm by email. The executive director, Bruce Cameron, emailed us asking for the same information that we gave to the Humane Society. I emailed him back telling him we found the dogs owner through Craigslist and gave him some objective criticism about the speed of his service. He then responded very quickly to me (15 minutes after I sent my email) and proceeded to tell me that it was my fault because I did not provide the correct information. Now I admit I do not know how this service works with the Humane Society, but there appears to be a huge disconnect on both ends. My reviews purpose is to inform other fellow pet owners who have lost a pet and people who have found a pet how this service currently works. I also hope this service can take this criticism to heart when trying to improve itself. A full two day response is a disservice to lost animals and is unacceptable. I truly wish this needed and valuable service improves it's track record.

There was a dog we were interested in adoption and they never follow through three applications were put in one by myself when my husband and another one my daughter-in-law did and none of us receive any contact from these organizations. It is a shame we wanted to adopt from a rescue or a shelter however, they don't care to have these pets adopted? After waiting calling texting emailing and no one returned your call or an email or a text. I went ahead and purchased. Two puppies from breeders. It is a shame that these organizations say they want to place into a good Home however, never bothered to follow up.

Why? Because our rescue is a network of homes throughout our communities that step up and answer the call to end the animal welfare crisis. Our volunteers, when funded well, remove at-risk dogs straight from the streets and place them directly in to their forever homes within our Volunteer Sanctuary Pool Alliance, and not a temporary overcrowded and poorly funded shelter. This membership, (The VSPA) is one that anybody can join for free. All adoptions are free. And we raise funds to support our members. It's that simple. The animal welfare crisis can not be handled by one single shelter or charity. The crisis is a community problem. And community problems must come with community solutions. So join our alliance and make a difference. Even if you are not wanting to adopt or foster, the more our alliance grows, the louder our voice is. And right now, dogs at risk across our country need our voices to be as loud as possible. Visit us now. Become informed. Stay engaged. Volunteer. Adopt. Foster. Support. Act today to save a life tomorrow and be a hero forever!

    I moved here almost a year ago and wanted to foster a cat so I was recommended PACC. Sure enough…read morethey were overflowing with animals and I was happy to take a senior cat home with me. He needed eye removal surgery along with some dental work so a month later I took him for that. Before I get ahead of myself, he also has some sneezing fits which they gave me medication for before his surgery which it seemed to work. They did blood work three separate times while he was under their care. Fast forward to taking him in for a pre adoption appointment in November 2025, they gave him the all clear, saying he was in good health and he may just need more dental work in the future which no big deal because they set me up with Fetch pet insurance. The agent setting up his insurance account informed me all of his teeth would be covered and if he needed special food in the future that would be covered too. It also sounded like a good deal because they are the only insurance that covers pre existing conditions that shelter animals typically would have throughout their lives in the shelter or on the streets. Cool. One month later, December 2025, he had sneezing fits again so we took him to friends of Pacc clinic because Pacc recommended them to us to use after adopting him. They diagnosed him with herpesvirus, didn't even take blood work or run tests to confirm it, gave me medicine for him. It had been a week and he was getting worse so I took him to another vet for a second opinion. This was earlier this month January 2026. Good thing I did because I found out he has calisivirus, mycoplasma virus, kidney dysfunction, and is severely anemic and needs to go to the ER asap to get a transfusion. I've already spent near 1 grand on medication and vet visits, now I'm going to spend who knows how much on a transfusion he needs to live. How could they not have caught all of this at Pacc with the amount of tests they ran on him, I'm very annoyed and angry, I feel like they withheld this information from me or they were cutting corners there. I want justice for my cat for their lack of care for him and for myself financially and the emotional toll this has taken on me. Also, the agent at Pacc that set up my insurance for him put his age at start of insurance as 4 instead of 12. So the "great deal" on insurance I thought I was paying was all a lie. After submitting all my recent vet expenses for my cat, I discovered this major error and had to report it and I was charged a pretty penny of back pay along with a hefty increase in my monthly payment. Extremely disappointed. I also called the insurance to ask about the prescription food coverage he needs for his kidneys and they said the agent at Pacc misinformed me and his food will not be covered. So I just had to pay almost 60$ for only 24 cans of food that will only last me a month. They need to not be giving out false information and have some more competence when it comes to filling out insurance forms. How do you put 4 instead of 12. I could understand maybe putting 2 instead of 12 due to just simply missing a single number, but 4?! The only reason I'm giving the extra Star is because the over all staff of volunteers there are incredible. The people who aren't getting paid by Pacc, who show up to volunteer, those are the people that make that place even worth going to. Never going to Pacc again. It's so sad that so many animals are there that need homes and so many people go there and think they are getting the best care but they aren't getting the full disclosure on their animals health. It's not just me too, I've heard other stories from people fostering and adopting through them as well, one of them being a kitten with ringworm, they weren't told he had ringworm and they ended up needing to get rid of their couch and all their kids stuffed animals and spent a lot of time cleaning their whole house only for it to come back three other times. They need to be honest with people so they can decide whether they can take in the animal financially and if their home is equipped to handle them. Please if you decide to go to Pacc, please please please make them do a recent medical evaluation with blood tests and any other tests you think they need especially if it's an older animal.
