I can't rate this place any less than 4 stars. They really, absolutely do their best with what they…read morehave available. I feel that they feel for the animals and really try to find them the best homes. The only reason I rate less than 5 stars is because once I found a cat that my neighbors abandoned (didn't realize until they cat showed up on my doorstep starving). I tried to find the guy a home, but I couldn't get anyone to take him. My dogs are not cat-friendly, so I couldn't keep him locked up in a bathroom forever. I took him to the Humane Society, and they were initially nice, but they quickly tried to "vet" me to see if I was just dropping off my own cat. It was very accusatory. However, they still took the cat. Of note, this IS a kill shelter.

We found our keeper!…read more I had heard about Katz 4 Keeps many times over the last few years; and through his job my husband had helped Mary (the owner) several times but we had never actually visited the facility. While we had been thinking about bringing home a new family member for some time, when we were finally ready this was one of the first places we looked. The facility is impressive. There are different rooms (divided by age) for kittens, young cats and adults. They have an isolation area for new cats and for when any of their current 'residents' get sick. For as many 'boarders' as they have it is surprisingly clean. All I can say is Mary is the epitome of a cat lady, but not the crazy kind. She loves what she's doing and she loves every single feline friend. If you're considering adopting a cat (of any age) please definitely put these ladies on your list. The program they've established is quite impressive and I wouldn't recommend anyone else.

I highly recommend HSCG for neutering your dog or cat. I have a senior cat who has always been an…read moreindoor cat, and we just never bothered to have her spayed. Her "heats" never bothered us, but recently seemed to bother her. So being new to the area, I made an appointment with HSCG due to their low cost spay/neuter program. Dr Weaver was absolutely wonderful and her concern for our old girl was touching. Turns out Patchez has a heart murmur so it was our decision whether to proceed with the procedure or not. We did. Dr Weaver phoned afterwards to let us know how Patchez was doing, and that she had an ovarian cyst and a nasty looking uterus. In my opinion, Dr Weaver went above and beyond to ensure us that we did the right thing and our beloved cat was going to be fine. Highly recommended!

Very caring staff, they obviously love animals. Excellent medical services too…read more The only negative I saw is that they did not let dogs interact with each other while there for fear that there would be fights. It would be nice if they had an area where they let the dogs be with each other for at least part of the day.

I can tell they need more volunteers so I highly recommend wanting to help and volunteer to help find these animals there forever home Even if your not looking to adopt they have a fostering program so if your not looking for the commitment just yet at least you can give these animals a break since shelters can give them lots of stress!

I recently viewed a dog on their site"Duke" and sent several e-mails telling them who I was and that I had adopted a dog from them the prev. year. I did not hear back from the e-mails(this is why I sent so many) and when they did reply they had placed the dog with a Great Dane group. Why would you place a dog with anouther shelter when you have some one who was so interested to adopt? So sad, would not waste my time looking at their page. If they want to save animals they should adopt them out instead of shuffling them to other shelters.

In addition to the overwhelming duties of running a high intake, non-profit shelter, I was in daily contact, several times a day and any concern or question I had was promptly addressed.

The animals seem well taken care of and happy. The have mostly tigers but also a lion and some smaller cats. They even have two foxes and two bears! This is different than a zoo, because they have these animals as a way to save them. Some of them were from private owners and some were form closed zoos. The workers and volunteers were all happy as well.

You've never been to a place like this before... and at first, I wasn't even sure what to expect…read more The sign outside is nicely done, but when you walk in, the tables and chairs look like they're 50 years old... clean and organized, but the area clearly needs an upgrade. But that's actually the point... every dollar this nonprofit earns goes directly to animal care, facilities, and expansion. Nothing is wasted on appearances. And that mindset defines everything about this place. We signed up for a tour and arrived early to walk around a bit on our own. By chance, we ran into Curt Logiudice, the founder and owner of the sanctuary... a remarkable man who has devoted his life to this mission. Hearing him explain how it started, how it's grown, and his vision for the future was inspiring. Watching him interact with the bear they have was priceless... playful, natural, and full of trust. You couldn't tell who was enjoying it more... Curt or the bear. What they're doing here is truly admirable. Their mission is the rescue of exotic animals from serious and often tragic situations. Once an animal arrives at Catty Shack Ranch, it has a home for life. They do not breed, trade, sell, or buy animals. The sanctuary is home to tigers, a bear, lions, pumas, leopards, lynx, foxes, and coatimundis... all cared for with dignity and respect. The guided tour is absolutely worth it. The staff is knowledgeable, the experience is educational, and you get surprisingly close to the animals while still feeling completely safe. The atmosphere is calm, respectful, and not overcrowded. I noticed families with kids whose eyes were wide with amazement... it's that kind of place. This is privately funded, and even veterinarians volunteer their time to care for animals in need of medical treatment. If you see Curt on the grounds... and you probably will... stop and talk to him. His passion, humility, and genuine love for these animals is unmistakable. Please visit. Please support this place. What they're doing here truly matters. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
