Maybe if you're going to ignore anyone who doesn't have an appointment make sure people know to have an appointment I stood in a stand still line for well over an hour and a half; no one said anything, we left without seeing any cats because no one was helping anyone

I adopted my cat from here and had a really positive experience. The staff were super nice and helpful and I got to take her home in the same day. She is healthy, super sweet, and loves my dog!

I called about a stray cat that’s been hanging out around my house for a while now. I told them i’ve tried to catch it myself but i just don’t have the help i need so it makes it impossible. i asked if they could catch the cat and said i would adopt it. the man on the phone basically told me if it had rabies or any other sickness he would catch it but since i think it’s fine that they wouldn’t come out here. he told me to catch the cat myself and bring it to the pound. he definitely does not seem to care about animals in need of a home. it blows my mind that it is their job to catch stray animals, especially if someone wants to adopt the animal, and they won’t do anything. lazy and sad.

Questions & Answers

I recently found 4 abandoned kittens and I need to get them fixed. Every place I have called in Jacksonville cost at least $200. I can not afford that. Does anyone know of a affordable place in Jacksonville to get them fixed? Thanks

Cape Fear is going to be your best bet. But honestly, they’re so quick and efficient you can drop off that morning and likely pick up early that afternoon, just hang around the area. We dropped off our male cat at 8 to be fixed, we got a call around 12 after my husband drove all the way back to Jville to let us know he was ready.

Pat Evans | Sep 7, 2019

Only as a last resort. There are foster programs in place. Every attempt is made to return strays to their owner. and the shelter works with many rescue groups.

Can you please tell me where I can get my kitten spayed.I live on a very low income thank you.

Kathy Humphries | Sep 7, 2018
Ali Marlow | Sep 7, 2018

Fix a friend is who the shelter uses, for the dogs and cats that get adopted. They are a bit of a drive but are so cheap, its worth the drive. If you come in to the shelter they have their card they can give you, with all their information.

The shelter spays and neuters the dogs and cats that are adopted out only. Not people who are looking for a place. They will give you local vets and offer spay and neutering clinics that are cheap. Fix a friend spay and neuter clinic is the best and low cost.
