Placer SPCA

I was shocked by the way I was treated by this agencies. Please shut it down and send the people home that are waisting our tax dollars.
Becky actually was not going to give my son his dog back and threatened she was going to give her away. Only the government can treat people this way and get away with it. I paid the ransom 150.00 .
Shame on you!

I was moving up here last May with my loving 18 year old Sweetie cat, but he didn’t make it and passed away, so 8 months later I’m ready and found a pair of bonded for life cats online at the Auburn SPCA. Drove up and met Kira, she was nice, made sure I checked some other kitties too and gave me all the time in the world to get to know all of them. Everything was super easy and I was given a care package and their folder’s. They have some very nice cats, not alot the day I was there but still it’s hard to decide.
Funny, I was dreading going to a shelter because back in the day they were terrible & didn’t look like this place does, clean, upbeat, warm, cat tree’s in good sized rooms with sitting chairs. I was impressed and relieved!

There is a location in Auburn that only has cats, and then another that has dogs. We adopted our dog from here and couldn’t be happier with her. She is an amazing little dog and so loving. This place took great care of her (she was part of a hoarding situation and was in pretty bad shape). i do have to complain about part of our adoption process however and that was her spay. We had to wait a full week to adopt her since she wasn’t spayed and they had already set up an appointment at their spay and neuter clinic. We picked her up from what looked like a converted trailer, and I was not happy with how her suture site looked. It looked like a hack job to be honest, and I knew it would open but was just so happy to have her that we left. She was drugged out of her mind and slept all day and night. Having worked in a vet clinic, that kind of sedation for spays is not necessary and she should have been awake at least later on in the day. We kept her in a small crate and with her cone on, but the next morning her sutures had completely opened and she had a huge open wound. I had to take her to the vet before work and it cost me another $ 200 dollars to have her closed back up– which looked COMPLETELY different than when I brought her home. I am grateful for the work you do to help rehome animals, but that spay and neuter clinic does some pretty shotty work

I’ve adopted two cats from SPCA. One a kitten one an adult. Their cats are as described. They are honest and tried very hard to help me find cats I wanted.
The people that work here are SO friendly and welcoming. I adopted a kitten here and he’s the best! He had ear mites but they admitted that tho all cats are treated they would probably need it again once out if the environment. They don’t try to hide it. They are straight forward and try to give you as much info as possible on an animal so it’s a good fit.
AND: very important, they don’t try to act all snootie like some places that want to know where you were born and your political affiliations before they will adopt a cat to you. (Okay I’m being sarcastic but it is close the truth.)

Very nice facility. Although I did hear from my sister that one of their employees yelled at her for wanting to pet the cats claiming it wasn’t a petting zoo— our experience was completely different. Here’s to hoping that woman was fired. We were treated kindly, and were allowed to look at all their lovely cats.
