★★★★★ 5.0 Julianne Attaway · Feb 2026

I adopted my cat from here about 2 1/2 months ago and I couldn’t be happier. The adoption process was easy and both GPG and her foster mom checked in on us several times to make sure the transition was going smoothly. My cat has been such a joyous addition to my life and I’m grateful a place like GPG exists to rescue these babies in need. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their adoption services and encourage anyone who can to donate to this wonderful organization.

A great place to donate and volunteer. The staff is really dedicated to the care of animals and helping the surrounding community. Everything from food giveaways to sliding scale animal care. I wound up volunteering to foster a dog and it was a fail lol. She’s now part of our family.

Absolutely love the people who work here, I’m proud to have adopted my cat from Gateway and now fostering a cat too! They made the foster process so easy, I highly encourage everyone to consider fostering or volunteering with Gateway.

I had a great experience adopting through Gateway. I recently brought home two amazing two month old kittens, Marcel and Julian, and I could not be happier. The whole process was smooth and easy. The application, adoption contract, and payment were all simple and straightforward. The fee was reasonable and it’s clear that the money goes right back into helping the animals. Before finding GPG, I had reached out to other shelters and either the shelter themself (7morecats) or their fosters never got back to me, or they had insanely stringent adoption stipulations (looking at you Stray Rescue). The whole search felt discouraging and exhausting, to be frank, until I connected with Gateway. They were responsive, communicative, and genuinely cared about making sure the adoption was the right
