Fauquier SPCA

"If your pet gets surrendered here, good luck. My parents wrongfully took my cat Pete in while I was on vacation without me knowing. I’m in the process of moving out of state. I called and asked about Pete as soon as a heard he was taken in. I was TOLD to come in after he had been neutered so that I could collect him. Once I showed up to the facility, I was told the opposite. Even though Pete was MY cat that my parents had no authority to surrender, that means nothing. I put in an application and explained what had happened, even BEGGED. I was denied even the right to see him. How is it that the cat that I am the owner of has “a better home” than the one he was already in? Who I assume to be the director left me a message telling me she cannot “in good faith” return Pete to me and that he would be euthanized if need be. The business practices of this facility are questionable at best. My cat was stolen from me and I was told I can’t have him back because of my parents as a grown adult. Pete is being kept from a safe, loving home that he knows. They never bothered to ask any information about his home or how he is treated and cared for. This whole business needs new staff."

"This organization and its people are very good at taking care of the animals in their charge. What they are short of is voluntary help and money and food for these animals. Something as simple as walking/playing around with the dogs and cats or offering to clean their cages can help the staff.."

"I had the worst experience here I went to take my cats to get vaccinations. The Director was so rude she said and I quote and it came out of her mouth that if don't nutter my cats she won't let them in her clinic anymore because she said they are too populated with so many kittens. But I as a cat owner don't want to get them nuttered yet and I shouldn't be forced to nutter them in order to get service and she is not the one taking care of my cats I am. I will get them nuttered when I want not when I'm forced."

"Very nice place, staff was very helpful and you can tell they love their jobs. Facilities were clean and well maintained. Please consider adopting a pet from the SPCA if you and your family are considering a new family member."

"We adopted our sweet kitty Kiki a little over a week ago. All the girls working there were so pleasant to deal with. I really appreciated their effort to write about each cats personality (which is what made us come visit her asap). We are so happy with our decision to bring this adorable baby to our home. Thank you so much for all you do!"
