Cedar Rapids Animal Care and Control

"Very helpful staff, clean building, and the animals were taken care of . They had information about them. Would recommend anyone to get a pet from there.."

"My friend's daughter up and left her with 9 kitten's. Also her 2 daughters. We went up there and was told they would take them for a 50 dollar each fee. My friend is on social security and can't afford that. So they then told us that they were at capacity. Now 50 dollars each we will take them, just to help a lady out of a situation no room. She even took kitten food. She had 9 and we got it down to 5."

"My experience with Cedar Rapids Animal Control and Care was absolutely fantastic. We have been looking to add to our fur family for months, checking shelters every single day. One Wednesday afternoon, I refreshed PetFinder and saw two blue eyed beauties named Wonton and Rangoon, presumably sisters. I sent in my application immediately, having missed out on many animals in the past I knew I had to act fast, and called the shelter to confirm they received it. I had the pleasure of speaking with Kelly, who was so professional and knowledgeable. She notified me that she just needed my current cats' rabies vaccine information, but they were about to close for the day and my current vet was already closed so they could not get that sent over in that moment. The next morning, I sent over all the necessary information first thing in the morning and waited for confirmation from Kelly. Once I received that confirmation, I was on the road to Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Upon arrival, almost 4 hours later, I was amazed by the facility. It is modern, clean, and spacious. You can tell that all of the animals are very well taken care of. At the welcome counter, I spoke with Crisstin and she is who walked me through the entire process. Crisstin was very friendly, professional, and knowledgable. She was also so patient with all the questions I had. After meeting Wonton and Rangoon (now Aspen and Alaska), I finished the process with Crisstin, received their paper work (which Crisstin was very thorough in explaining) and some kitten food and toys. Then I was officially on my way home with two little angels. I just want to say a big thank you to the staff of Cedar Rapids Animal Control and Care, especially Kelly and Crisstin. Thank you for accepting out of state adoptions. Thank you for allowing me to adopt these sweet kitty sisters together, they really love each other so much. They chase each other, they sleep cuddled up next to each other, and are overall so happy to have each other's company. And a HUGE thank you for all that you do in saving so many precious animal's lives and giving them the opportunity to have a fresh start in loving homes. It is truly inspiring. If anyone reading this is contemplating adopting from CRACC, please know you will be in fabulous hands."
