This review if for the cat area, as I didn't see where the dogs were kept. The cats all hang out in 2 adjoining rooms, one of which is a good size outdoor covered patio. So they can go back and forth whenever they feel like it, and they're not confined to little cages, which is pretty awesome. The staff seemed really nice too, which is always a plus. I would definitely come back here when I'm ready to add to my kitty family.

They are also well-taken care of by the staff and have a lot of land to roam around on. Also has other animals to see like alligators, birds, skunk, mountain lions, turtles and much more. Each has their own enclosures and are well taken care of. So don't feel bad for the animals like they are some victim or something. The staff and your leader was very friendly and informative. You learn a lot by doing this tour and help the animals as they rely on donations to stay open. I would highly recommend taking a trip to do this! Very cool experience!

When you're unemployed, broke, and the food stamps have run out, this is the place to turn to. Bring a postmarked piece of mail to show you are a Bellingham resident, and it's best to bring a few empty grocery bags as well, because they tend to run out of boxes. Be prepared to wait in line an hour or more. They are open Monday, Wednesday, and Friday 12:30-3:00 and Wednesday 5:00-7:00. Fridays towards the end of the month are always busiest. If you come earlier in the day, the line is longer, but the selection is better, too. Later, on towards 3 o'clock, the line is shorter, but the selection of food is less. Lots of grocery stores in Bellingham (Haggen, Trader Joe's, Price Chopper) donate their just-expired or just-about-to-expire bread, pastries and such to the Food Bank. A thousand praises on the volunteers and staff who keep this place running!
