Spca of Connecticut

I recently inquired about getting assistance with helping place 2 senior cats. I believe the man I spoke with was inconsiderate, demeaning, and arrogant. I was spoken to so rudely and called an idiot and hung up on after being surprised when I was
informed I needed to pay 3000.00 for the facility to care for them. He was very loud and excited when i was trying to talk. He called me an idiot and said where do you think the money comes from to support all these animals and then said he didnt want to waste any more of his time talking to an idiot! I attempted to explain to the wonderful gentlemen and he hung up on me. He then called me back to again insult me further by calling me a moron. I was then laughed at when I mentioned I have a supply of medication for the cats chronic ear infections. I wasnt necessarily asking for the cats to stay there but I wanted help with advertising on their website in hopes of getting them a home. I didnt even get a chance to ask really anything about the shelter and how the adoption process even works. I am not sure if the man who spoke to me in this manner was in charge of this facility but he needs to learn how to speak with people and listen to when people are attempting to talk. He can also have some compassion on peoples current situations. I recently lost a mother to leukemia and I have been trying so hard to find her animals homes and this situation Im in has been hard. I even had the cats recently checked at the vet, got all their shots and had a year supply of ear medication for the cats. Why would it cost 3000.00 if the cats were recently examined anyway?

I wish I could give ZERO stars. What a scam. $ 500 non refundable adoption fees. Not to mention «rescuing» out of state animals and «flipping them» for a few hundred dollar profit. Not only are these people scammers, they’re abusers! The property is disgusting, not to mention inside the house where they store upwards of 25 free roaming cats.
Everyone needs to look up the 2012 lawsuit filed against them. They had over a dozen dogs seized because of abuse in Bethlehem, CT. These people need to be shut down.

Wow what a horrible experience. I called to try to find help for some stray cats before the incoming nor’easter this weekend and the response I got was to be screamed at and told I was doing nothing to help the cats. He told me all I was doing was calling them and crying to them (which I was not). He told me if I really wanted to help to trap all 10 myself and find individual homes for them. I explained I was a student and it would not be possible seeing as no pets are allowed in our dorms. He didn’t seem to understand that and continued to yell and say I was useless and making excuses.
What a miserable place. They aren’t doing anything to try to help anyone assist animals in need I suggest you fire whoever that man was who answers your phone. I would be embarrassed to have someone like that representing the organization. Despicable, hire people that actually want to help.

I adopted my wonderful young Chihuahua there 12 years ago and couldn’t be more grateful to those wonderful people who run this adoption shelter. They just came back days earlier from saving 30 small dogs from shelters in the South. It was obvious that in their care the dogs were very loved and taken care of and already come with their shots, spayed or neutered and checked out by vet before hand. They also acted professionally by making sure I came back the next day after my commitment for my new pup to make sure I wouldn’t change my mind as that unfortunately happens to people who may make hasty decisions and return the poor confused animal.

There is something extremely wrong with this place. The house is run down and looks like it’s about to collapse. The conditions are extremely deplorable and when you’re inside of the house you can barely breathe. The cats inside of the house all look sick, their eyes are runny and are clearly not kept well. The kittens we visited were in a room with no light, no ventilation, and their cage was under a part of the roof that was crumbling.
Outside, we were met in the parking lot and not allowed to look at the dogs displayed on the front porch left out in the cold. My father in law took one step towards a cage to look at a dog and we got screamed at. He wasn’t within thirty feet of the dog, he was admiring the poor puppy.
When we were looking at the kittens, we asked to look at other kittens and they refused to let us look at other cats in the house due to germs being spread between the animals.
Also, the website said the kittens we looked at were spayed but they were not, they were not straight forward about the kittens’ health records.
Someone needs to look into the deplorable conditions these poor animals are left in. Why weren’t we allowed to look at any other animals? What are they trying to hide? Hmm…

This place is big scam, go to your local dog pound where dogs are gassed yes in a gas chamber, and save a dogs life, those dogs
At this dirty shelter are going to live, there for long time don’t worry about them, they should be saving the dogs at local dog pound, if they really cared about animals,
Contact me anytime let’s have coffee you have a right to know
And il explain there shady practice to you
Last I herd ct residents are sending letters to
Hartford to look into all of these so called non profit dog rescues, they seem to meet you in driveway, what are the hiding inside
5 good reviews, there should be hundreds
Think about it

We adopted our dog from this shelter. She really needed out of there… Housing conditions were questionable. At the time they had more dogs not suitable for adoption by a family with kids than potential cantidates. We ended up at the vet right away (repeatedly); but nursed her back to good health and now have a loyal loving family dog.

In the past 2 years I have adopted 2 dogs from the Monroe Spca. The 2 dogs are very healthy and came with the best personalities. I will continue to adopt dogs from them and I have recommended them to several friends who have adopted also.

We got our 100 percent awesome dog from here. Yes, the workers are strange, as is the guy in charge of the place, but they clearly care for the dogs. I’ve found that many of the people who’ve said negative things about the SPCA are people who weren’t allowed to adopt dogs. Just sayin’.

This is the world’s worst shelter!!! They are unprofessional and rude. I do not believe they have the best interest of any animal in mind. Do not adopt from them!!!
