I walked in looking for a dog to pick out for myself however a dog named chewy pick me I love him so much and the people are very helpful. My little chewy got off the fence and I look everywhere for him and called all the dog's house. I went to work sad and upset and hurt and the people that work at this place called me call me where he was at getting the address and phone number I was able to pick him up right away I missed him so much it was only half a day. I love this place

It's always a great experience to stop by this shelter. The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. This is our second time adopting a kitty from this shelter and I can honestly say that it's the best decision.

Wow what a great place, didn't know I lived so close to!! Kind of off the beaten path, but so many kitty cats! Very nice setup, having cats grouped by age and energy levels is very smart. People there were extremely friendly and welcoming!! I will definitely be back to look at these adorable felines!

If a neighbor left a mother cat and some kittens and moved out is there any way that I can get financial help with getting them neutered and their shots for fair price or free if I take them and adopt them out

Heather Pasco | Aug 17, 2018
Ginger Brown | Aug 17, 2019

Call SPOT, in St Pete, this is exactly what they provide. Inexpensive spay, neuter and shots

I found a young siamese female cat under my car today, crying out for help. I gave her water and food and since it was raining I had her stay in my garage for the night... I Have 2 cats of my own so i cant keep her unfortunately.. what do I do????

Maddie Pena | Aug 17, 2018
Where's G?!?! | Aug 17, 2018

She may be a pet that got out of the door, and caught out in the rain. Holiday weekend, owners could be out of town. Check with neighbors first. Put signs up. Take her to a vet to see if she has a microchip.. Check with animal services to see if she has been reported missing. If after a couple of days the owner is not found, take her to animal shelter. Do what you hope someone would do for your fur babies.

Do they accept walk in’s

Aryam Safieh | Aug 16, 2021

Bunch of cat are under my trailer and about two cats have give birth there but is dangerous for cats and the little kittens. What can i do about it? Im also allergic to cats so there's not a lot of thing i can do

AlondraE. Ortiz | Mar 19, 2022
Katie G Skene | Mar 19, 2022

Meow now will come out and do trap neuter and releases. It's tough with feral kitties. I care for 14 inside and a colony outside of 13. And I am allergic to cats and dogs. Please be proactive. Kittens can reproduce at the age of 3 months old. Fixing them all is where to start. Making sure there is clean water and food daily would be ideal. Thank you for caring.

Janice Volpe | Aug 16, 2021
Katie G Skene | Aug 16, 2021

Hmmmmm. I'm more familiar w rescuing cats. If it's a small dog I don't see why a cat trap wouldn't work. If you go to Friends of Strays they will let you borrow one of their traps. If you need more resources reply to this. I will start looking online for more help. Prayers my friend.

Gigi Marquardt | Aug 17, 2019

I would call them Sue. The person I spoke with when I called said if they are friendly and have space they will take them for adoption or Foster. But I was referred to either County Animal Services or Pinellas County TNR. I called the second one because they trap, fix, ear tip and release. But call for sure as I don't work or volunteer for them. I did adopt from them and they were wonderful. Good Luck!
