The signs nearby show you where to find the building. I could hear the dogs barking while standing outside. Someone was standing outside and politely asked if we needed help. 🐶 🐕

I have never been so lied to in my life These people are so low they lied to a 3yr Years later my son still remembers the " nice people who lied" These terrible people should be fired place in cages My family gave up two loving cats over the lies they told Amazing that animals like this have a job The racist and the public put down in front of several people was criminal at the least yet these so called humans put animals in cages where they should be

Jazmin Gomez | Dec 16, 2021

More cats than dogs and it would be best to call them about a hamster because if not physically there, the staff would have knowledge on where to get a hamster that was maybe given up or info on fostering animals

I have a 6 old month female cat and I want to know how I can get her spay and neuter for free or a low cost

Maria Hernandez | Sep 12, 2020
Whimsical Golde | Sep 12, 2020

I went to 401 Hillside Ave. NJ 07205 Website: www.pfaonline.org People for Animals, Inc. It's an orginization. 10 day recovery. It costs over $100 for Females. Make sure you get the collar and keep it on 10 days. I hit a bump when someone took it off too early. Your cat needs to be a year. I waited until they were close to a year. They were young and small at first.

Does anyone know if i can bring a stray kitten i want to introduce into my home, in to get its shots and anti parasitics if need be, here?

Samantha Wilson | Sep 12, 2020
Whimsical Golde | Sep 12, 2020

Not here at the shelter. I got rabies shots at the firehouse on the city hall area. With the buildings around it. Check Clifton website for dates. It happened during the summer. It's $5 for cats. One cat in a carrier per person. Flyer said that. Also important vaccines which are 3 get put in one vaccine. It helps keep cost down. For Parasites go to the Vet for prevention. It may be bought at the store for lower price.

Malayshia Williams | Sep 13, 2018

Absolutely. Do you live in clifton? They will only take if you are a resident. If they dont, PAWS in Montclair is another option.

Uylissa Mendoza | Sep 13, 2018
Mary Milici | Sep 13, 2018

No, there is an adoption fee. It covers their shots and spay/ neuter costs. A vet would cost way more than what they ask for.

I haven't gone their but what do I need to adopt.? It's their a minimum age.? What's the process.? And what's must I know before picking one.?

Best Music Hits | Sep 13, 2018
Vanessa Haas | Sep 13, 2018

Before adopting, they require that everyone that is going to be in the household with the pet spend time with it so there are no compatibility issues. They're very helpful and will take you on tours and explain everything.
