Ramapo-Bergen Animal Refuge, Inc.

Our family adopted frosty and he is one of the best additions a family could ever have. The staff was outstanding! Not only were they knowledgeable and caring but you can tell the animals were being cared for in a great environment. Thanks to all the staff for your commitment to the animals

Wow, after reading so many of the negative reviews i had to leave this one. My experience with this shelter was nothing short of Amazing. My children and I went to Rbari after having a horrible experience at our local shelter where adopting a cat seemed impossible. After filling out an application, we were scheduled to meet a cat within 2 weeks. We were greeted at the door by their office dog and everyone was so welcoming. While the cat we initially went to meet was not a match for our family, they made sure to show us around, let any cat we were interested in out to play, and really took the time to help us find our forever fur baby. We adopted a cat and went back 4 months later for a second. I will say, the only disappointing aspect was that i never left with any of the cats i applied fo

I can't praise this shelter enough. The staff are excellent, the facilities are clean and well-maintained, and they have social distancing down cold. We live in NYC and there are waiting lists at every local shelter. Like so many other people, we decided to add a new pet during the pandemic. We had gotten a previous cat at this shelter 10+ years ago, so we called and made an appointment. We got one pretty quickly, and the process to park, go inside, and go up to the second floor where the cats are kept was very easy. The woman who helped us out was very patient with us and showed us all of the kittens. We fell in love with one kitten and took him home the same day. Follow-up appointments were fast and easy. Support this shelter and go there if you want a new family member!

I can’t say enough about this shelter. After losing my 9 month old during a spay procedure I was heartbroken and looking for a young Dutch rabbit male to bond with our lady. Vincenzo, formerly known as “vin” was abandoned outside in the winter, attacked by a predator and left with a burrow fly larvae in his neck. Where many shelters might put him down Ramapo-Bergen went above and beyond to save this boy and find him a new life. The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. I am a very experienced rabbit owner, and drove all the way from Buffalo, NY to pick up this sweet gentleman. Clearly, he is now fitting perfectly into our family and Bernadette and I are so thankful to have him. I’ve continued to follow them and their incredible work and highly recommend adopting and supporting h

I had the best experience with RAMAPO. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The whole adoption process only took a week. I originally wanted only one kitten but ended up coming home with two! Albie and Sylvester were playing and having too much fun together so I thought why not. They are both neutered and litter-trained which makes it a lot easier on my end. I would recommend RAMAPO to anyone who’s looking to adopt.
