12 years ago I adopted my best friend from this shelter. He sadly passed. Since then we adopted two others, one from here and one from a county shelter. I just went in last week to adopt a new friend. I filled out a lengthy form with multiple references including my vet. They called all of them including the family member I currently live with and take care of their cat! They now demand vet records for a cat that’s not even mine?! 10 shelters minimum between my home and little shelter. 4 weeks out of surgery I drove all the way to Huntington out of loyalty! Never again! 200 cats in the building and I get references from people who’s kids and animals I care for AND I’m a previous adopter and that’s not enough?! IT’S a cat! DCFS doesn’t do this detailed a check! Enjoy the $25 non-refundable deposit. I hope Cecilia enjoys it as much as the 4 bedroom home she just lost out on. Shame on you! Try Shabby Tabby in Huntington! MUCH better!😻😥
I came by the other day to visit with the kitties (who are very beautiful and friendly). The shelter is off the beaten path and was hard to find, it is at the end of a dirt road. Unfortunately the shelter didnt seem that clean or well kept to me. They have a lot of cats so maybe that is why it was so messy, but the workers were sitting around eating pizza and chatting when I walked in. They did help me but that along with getting lost and seeing the mess, was not a good first impression of the place. I loved the cats thought and they seemed healthy and were friendly.
Very special place for rescues of all ages. Kind cat loving staff who want the best for our feline friends.♡
Lovely place where I adopted my kitten !So helpful with everything !
Full disclosure, I am a volunteer here!! But, if you want some doggie / kitty time, go on down, theyre all adorable & well taken care of.
My friend adopted a kitten from there and it was sick had ring worm and gave it to all her other pets and owner. It also has FIP which is a deadly cat disease

2021-09-08This place is the worst place to get a cat. Here is why - So me and my family decided to get an older cat because a lot of people over look them. But after having the cat home for months we noticed the cat was acting weird. She then ran outside at the first chance and we spent hours trying to get her back. My child was crying and my fiancee was distraught. I called the shelter and they said they don’t know the cats history prior to our adoption but it was clear, by the cats infinity to the outdoors that she was an out door cat. I told them thats not what you said before. They told me she had a previous owner. So after back and forth they said I am in breach of contract and am liable for a fine; then they show up to my house and set the same traps I set the day before and give me dirty looks and refuse to talk to me! Extremely immature. I call multiple times to ask about the traps but they snub my calls. If they really cared about the animal they would of worked with me instead of taking such an aggressive stance. I am shocked at how unprofessional this shelter is. I love animals but unfortunately I will not be using a shelter again after this unnerving experience.

2020-10-25I called to schedule, and after telling them what I was looking for, they said we have the perfect cat in mind. She is so perfect!!! They were thorough and really want to ensure the cats have a great life. I strongly recommend getting your new best friend from here!

2021-05-11My boyfriend got his cat from here and the whole situation was a mess. Too many cats in a cat jail. About 15-20 cats in a small concrete room with about 5 toys. Each cat was terrified and sick. Even the cat he got was sick for weeks after. Although shes a very sweet cat it took a very long time for her to acclimate from the trauma she suffered there. The staff used nets unnecessarily for menial tasks like giving a shot or to put the cat in the carrier i could hear her crying from outside. All the cats are covered in each other’s hair and crowded on each other, nails uncut. Even though the cat he got was raised there she had no social ability, you could tell they just left her and never pet her. She also can’t stand to be picked up probably because they use nets to deal with everything. The staff there was also just ok but you can tell they’re just doing the bare minimum for the cats. I really don’t know how they have 4 stars. I really don’t recommend supporting them.

2021-07-03This place has always been so lovely! The workers really love the animals they take care of. They’re all really hard workers as well. Everyone there is so friendly and welcoming 100% would recommend to anyone I know on Long Island to adopt from them.

2019-04-08I am horrified!!! I have been involved in cat rescue for many years. This shelter was recommended to me and it looked wonderful when I visited. But DO NOT BE FOOLED!!! I brought a young stray in that I rescued. Despite the fact that I inquired about what vaccinations were given, I was told I could pay extra and make those arrangements when I brought him in to be neutered. My son brought the cat in this morning and I followed up with a call to indicate that I wanted the shots and I did not want his ear notched since I was going to keep him inside. I was then given a completely different story. I had to pay $50 in advance to have the Leukemia test and distemper and Leukemia shots given and they could not guarantee that the ear would not be cut. However, now it was too late and I would have to bring him back again. When I picked up the poor fellow his ear was half off, jagged and disfigured and he was ostensibly sent into the wild as a feral without a distemper shot, leukemia test or shot to infect more animals. How irresponsible is that? Serves me right for trusting anything sponsored by a government. I now have to wait a week, keep the cat quarantined from my other cats and stress him all over again taking him in to a vet. You get what you pay for -he deserved better than this. I hope his ear can be repaired.
