Furry Friends Animal Shelter Inc.

Its great every week. I love volunteering there, love coming back every week so see more cats have been adopted. People I work with are amazing, no complaints 🥰

As a no-kill shelter Furry Friends offers a place for unwanted and down on their luck kitties to go with no fear of being euthanized no matter what their past was like or what challenges they face in the future. It's so great to walk in and see the resident cats and know that they are safe, loved and well cared for until they find a forever home... And even if they end up being tough nuts to crack and need some time to unwind, there's no hurry to get them out the door! Each kitty is respected and cherished.

A really great rescue that I feel 100% positive and amazing about supporting.

The shelter cares immensely for its resident cats, but beware their adoption policies, which, frankly, are nonsensical. Upon starting to volunteer at Furry Friends, I immediately fell in love with the cats at this shelter, and even filled out an application to adopt one of them. To my surprise, my application was denied because one of the three cats I have at home is indoor/outdoor. I understood that the shelter has a strict indoor-only policy with its adoptions, which I undertook to obey (in fact, my other two cats are indoor, without issue). However, this was not sufficient for the adoption coordinators, whom, without taking the time to inquire about the circumstances, have effectively deemed me an untrustworthy cat owner because I allow one of my cats to go outside. The justification given by the coordinator was that the adopted cat may see that going outside is an option and get upset that he is not allowed out. While this certainly could be a possibility, it hardly is the only one, as evidenced by my other two cats, who are completely content to stay inside. Even so, households with only indoor cats are not immune to accidental escapes. Further, if the coordinators had spent any substantial amount of time with the cats, they might be able to ascertain which cats are behaviourally more likely to protest not being allowed out, and therefore make better-informed adoption decisions instead of writing potential adopters off for trivial reasons.

I have been volunteering at Furry friends for over a year and absolutely love my time at the shelter. It feels good to take care of the cats and to see them find loving homes. Great spot
