This is a lie because Manuel has never been to Lollypop Farm. This just proves what I've been saying to Manuel for years; there are no decent White people in Rochester This means if you're in a bad marriage or whatever and your violent ex drops of your beloved pet as revenge they're not giving it back cos they sure didn't care to bother letting me know or returning our pet to us when he was illegally brought in May they all suffer from stage 4 cancer and may this facility be shut down, and trust me read all the 1 star reviews.

You can even hike a trail nearby and there is a playground next door.

I see there have been some negative reviews- know that they are operating with volunteers and are very low-budget. With that said, the volunteers I worked with were very nice and doing their "job." They want to know that you will will provide a loving and safe home before adopting. You will be "screened" and need to wait a few days before taking your new kitty home. There is also an adoption fee, they need to cover costs. The sweet cat we adopted was in a foster home and clearly very well-cared for. She was socialized with other pets and the owner gave her lots of attention. We are so happy with our new kitty, Phoebe Katz, THANK YOU!

I honestly don't know why anyone would give this place a good review. After no one responded to my…read moreon line application I went in person. They had me fill out a written application. Then I got to see the cats. The cat I was interested in was listed as gentle and loving. The gentleman who came to get her out of her cage had to call another staff to help him because he said she was "difficult". They let you interact with the cat you choose in a small room in the back. The room was crowded with random furniture and generally unpleasant. I understand that cats can be really nervous with strangers but there was no way to tell what her temperament might be in these surroundings. They offered to have the foster call me to talk more about her. Again, no call, no response. I'm guessing some of the people in there were probably volunteers but they didn't seem to know much about the cats in there (or much about cats in general). All in all it was a really disappointing experience. I ended up adopting from another agency.

We told her we were very much wanting to adopt the little Chihuahua we had visited with. We asked her to let us know each step of her adoption process. She called our vet, set a time for a home visit, causing us to think we were adopting this little pup. The day before our anticipated home visit, she sent an email saying the dog had been adopted by someone else! We were strung along as though we were in the process of adopting the dog we wanted, and she adopted it out to someone else, with no explanation. So disappointed, wouldn't recommend this rescue.

The cost of the adoption covers rabies/distemper shots, deworming, a flea treatment, and the placement of an RFID, as well as the usual spay/neuter. We had passed a farm earlier in the week with a sign, "Free Kittens"; it was only by doing the calculations of all the eventual costs that made it possible to resist.

NOT RECOMMENDED! Went there with my wife and family for a…read moresurprise for mother's day gift. Since we adopted two brothers last year from them. This time, the service and attitude from the older volunteer staff was very rude and challenging. After we expressed which cat we're interested in and then said that she's bonded with another, so we would have to get both. They asked how many cats we have (understandable question), I replied the two brothers. My son has one (unrelated from the brothers) and will be moving out this summer. The older volunteer staff then stated, "well maybe you should wait and see what happens" with her attitude... What does that mean!? Who the hell are they to tell me what's best for my family! So we left with a disappointed wife. One thing is for sure, they did not like me asking questions about any treatments, diseases or medical conditions on record. The living conditions is subpar. It is filthy, smells horrible and I would question if there are too many animals inside that small building. Maybe the Human Society of Greater Niagara or Niagara SPCA or even the Town of Pendleton should be contacted to check on things...

We applied to…read moreadopt him and were initially told we were approved but when we showed up to take him home they denied us because we told them we don't typically give canned food. Not that it was off the table just that it's not typical for us. There was no discussion it was an automatic decline and my daughter was devastated. I was so sad for her and the cat. I have owned cats for over 20 years and worked in the vet industry for over 6 years. I am appalled that they didn't trust us and left my daughter crying. To say we were approved and then to deny us when we showed up was absolutely cruel and they should be ashamed of themselves. This is not how a rescue operation should run and I will absolutely never support them again.

There were lots of catios and the cats are generally given free range of the place. The staff and volunteers were great and helped my kids get acquainted with many of the cats. The adoption process was smooth and straightforward. The follow up was great and appreciated.

I ended up adopting a kitten, spay/neuter, vaccines, and microchip was included in the cat adoption fee. I started volunteering there recently and I am still in awe of how well the cats are treated, no cats are put down unless they are suffering. They also do literally everything possible to keep the cats happy and healthy. I have watched them treat an elderly cat with hyperthyroidism, spending money on two different surgeries to help him. You can tell how much the employees love these cats and how passionate they are.

We had a great time at Seneca Park Zoo…read more Be prepared for lots of walking if you want to see all the exhibits. I appreciate how shady the park is and how you are mostly out of the sun while browsing around. Lots of animals to see and visit with. The docents here are very kind and we're happy to engage in conversation with us. I learned there is a new female red panda who was in quarantine. Can't wait to see her when she can join Mo (short for Gizmo) the male red panda. They have accessible bathrooms throughout. They also have food and drink vendors, but pricing is high (imo) You can bring a picnic lunch if you want to and they have a shady picnic area to eat at. If you bring a cooler and need to go to your car, this is fine, just make sure to keep your ticket handy. We are very lucky to have such a well maintained zoo here.

Frankly all the animals look depressed and all the outdoor exhibits reeked. I'm fine with the zoo smelling like the zoo but it was overwhelmingly noxious. The rosamond gifford zoo also has elephants and penguins but it never reeks of poop and a fish market when we visit there. The gift shop was also small and cramped. The indoor exhibits weren't entertaining or informative either. I would say the only positive would be the outdoor playground. It was great and beautiful compared to the rest of the zoo.
