I stopped in this afternoon hoping to learn more about the cats that were available for adoption. We felt that the employees/volunteers were very disinterested in helping us out from the moment that we walked in. The four women who were there were sitting in an office chatting. We were not greeted, no one got up to introduce themselves, and no one volunteered to show us the available cats for adoption. We walked into the office (since no one got up) and we explained what we were looking for in a cat (ok with other cats and dogs, friendly, etc) and one woman said that there were no cats available who fit that description. It's completely fine if there genuinely are no cats that fit that description right now, but the entire experience made us feel unwelcome and that they really didnt care if the cats got adopted out or not.

They all are awesome, and very dedicated to the care and well-being of all the cats in their care whether at the shelter, in foster or even those who have been adopted. If your looking for a cat or just looking to volunteering your time this is a place I would...
