Humane Society Of Bergen County — Local services in Lyndhurst

I adopted two male orange tabbies from this shelter in 2016. We’ve decided to adopt another male tabby this year, 2020. The staff is very kind and the space is beautiful and organized. In 2016 it was a little run down looking but the guy I dealt with in 2016 (Steven) is now in charge (he has gone on to receive Veternarian training since I was last here in 2016) and the space looks much nicer. All the cats and kittens look healthy and happy. This facility is run 100% only on donations and is a no kill shelter. Needless to say, Considering I am a returning customer, I would highly recommend this shelter to a friend. We adopted our new Tabby, Leon recently and the shelter is allowing us to pick him up today (we asked to wait until after Thanksgiving).

just a side note, most of the reviews on here are very positive. The negative reviews are pretty silly in my opinion, I.e: “I found a wild turtle in the wild, tried to bring it to this shelter and they refused!” Lol Or when someone says they had a great experience but only gives two stars. The best is the guy writing two + paragraphs because the staff failed to diagnose an elderly cat with heart failure (I’m in the medical field - this is not that easy to diagnose when you don’t have a Veternarian onsite). Just remember, these people are working solely on donations, they are watching the animals closely and getting care for them from a local veterinary clinic. They are a no kill shelter and seem incredibly dedicated and...

We adopted 2 precious kittens here yesterday after we sadly and suddenly lost our 11 year old cat. The volunteer was very caring, helpful, kind, and patient. Our two daughters and myself took quite a awhile to pick our kittens. They have a lot of great kittens and cats to choose from and they all look healthy, playful, and happy. The adoption process was smooth. The fee was $150/kitten cash only so grab some before you go. That may seem like a lot but it’s good considering they have been dewormed, first shots, fiv/leukemia tested and you get a $20 spay/neuter certificate to have the kitten fixed when proper age. Also it supports the facility in caring for the animals and rehoming them. They have some beautiful friendly adult cats in need of a home as well. They were all very happy and healthy and waiting to be adopted. Check out beautiful Buddy if you go. He is so handsome. I wanted to take him home too. ☺️ Our kittens are adjusting well and are very happy. I highly recommend this place!! Update- 3 years later…I wanted to add that our boys are still healthy and thriving! We love...

This shelter was amazing in helping me find a new family member for me and my 5-year-old son! 😊 I spotted this little cutie on April 21, but had to wait until April 25 to bring her home since she was only 4 months old and needed her booster shot. 😩 It was $180 for the kitten, but honestly, in this inflation crazed economy, it was no problem!

The first day I brought her home, she was ready to explore and quickly adapted to my family. She's such a sweetheart! 🥰 She even started loving car rides and going outside. I mean, the shelter said she didn’t get out much being in a cage, so it’s no wonder she was ready to take on the world! 🌍 I really wish I had gotten the names of the lady who helped me apply and the guy who let me play with her before shot day. 🥰 I can’t wait to see her grow, and I’ll definitely be back with more updates!

And just to add, there was no discrimination at all, which is so important nowadays. Finding a comfortable place for anything can be tricky, but this shelter made...
