"Responsible care of animals"? IRRESPONSIBLE AND RUDE. Now let me start off by saying, Jodie was very kind when i first called and spoke about my situation. It was after when i believe Connie, the president of this terrible organization, called me back. Some background, i had a kitten who got diagnosed with pyometra and needed surgery we couldnt afford. I was calling around to see who could take her in and do this surgery. Well Connie believed it best to just give up and kill the kitten right away. She gave me a reccomendation as to where could help her get the surgery AND how much to put her down there. Well i called the reccomended place, they dont take surrenders and it was also 130$ more than she said. As the president of this organization and reading other comments, this is a KILL SHELTER. Dont bring your animal to these psychos unless you want it to be put down. Go to life saving center in reading. Theyre amazing!!!!! Took her within a day and she got the surgery she needed. This lady Connie talked to me like i was garbage and putting my kitten at risk ttrying to keep her alive. Shame on her and this establishment. Always read reviews

There was a stray cat that had a broken leg and was pregnant. I had called humane league and other facilities for animals. Orca was the only one that helped. They even brought a cat trap for me to catch the poor cat. They went above and beyond to help this cat and I appreciate everything that they did. Thank You

I called on a Saturday to get info on a cat up for adoption. The young man took my info, but I never got a call back. The cat was Pet of the Week 6 days later and adopted out. I don't have much faith in their process.

It's funny after reading some reviews... But I found a litter of kittens that were on my property and I was told very rudely that I should just let them die and that they had upper respiratory infections, the rude woman said that I know it's sad to watch watch... how can you say something like that.. I was talking to her As I was holding this kitten. The The Kittenis about 12 weeks old. I believe It's sibling Died Under my deck, there were 4 of the kittens. my neighbor took one and and I haven't seen the 2. My guess is that they may have died but either way this organization did not help at all they do not care about animals.

Questions & Answers

I have an elderly friend that I help when I can. She has 6 cats but it is harder for her to take care of them. Is there anyplace or anyone that will take them for her? She would just surrender them but she can not afford $50 per cat.

You can check out Helping Hands where it's only $35 per cat. They are located on New Danville Pike, where the storage area is, near the Water Treatment Plant. Good luck.

Unfortunately, they aren't a shelter... You would need to try the PSPCA, the Pet Pantry of Lancaster, the Humane League, or the Centerville Pet Rescue

Found a cat that needs medical attention. Head is swollen. Looks to me like the sinuses are stopped to the point that head is filling up with fluid. It's a sweet cat I brought it inside but can't take it to the pet Emergency. Where will help it?

They are not a shelter that they are able to take in surrendered animals. Think of them more as an EMT service

They will take them. But call them, they dont monitor this.

Me and my family were driving on the road right next to park city mall and, while driving I saw a cat on the side, it wasn’t dead but it was on the side field playing, and I can’t catch it so I wanted to know what to do?
