Went to adopt a cat and they said all visitations are by appointment only so I filled out an application in person and online waited a week and no one reached out. I went back to the shelter and the lady at the front desk said I have to wait for director to reach out to me, waited a few more days, then I called the director and her voicemail said she was going to be on vacation for a week, it’s been over a month and still nothing. Would not recommend

I had a great experience working with Providence Animal Shelter to adopt a cat. They responded quickly to any questions I had and let us get to spend time with the cats to pick out the one who connected with us best. If you're looking for a new pet or looking to help out an awesome no-kill shelter, please keep Providence Animal Shelter in mind.

My husband and I did not end up adopting here because we fell in love with a cat at another shelter. However, we had a wonderful experience visiting the cats here. The staff was so friendly and helpful. There are so many amazing cats that need homes I really wish I could take more home. Be sure to check this place out if you want a new family member!
