Humane Society of Cobb County

I adopted two cats from the Humane Society of Cobb County and both were born at the shelter and had lived there their whole lives. Chip had lived there 9 years and Doora had been there 8 years. I found the staff to be exceptional in their care of the animals and love for them.
Thank you HSCC for your love of animals and the chance to watch these two blossom as they experience life.

I clicked the check in button but never actually set foot in the building. The door was locked, i knocked someone looked at me and walked away. I knocked again and a blonde lady said we are not here for you to just look around at the dogs and cats, I suggest you go someplace else. It took all my will power not to tell her STFU

If you can ignore the volunteer that will treat you like you are 12 years old, you might find your baby here. Me? Totally turned off by the know it all annoying volunteer who made it difficult firms to just sit down and get to know the cats.
A few times I inquired about some that might be the right fit for my home. She said «oh, I might not let that one go» (no humor involved)
When she made it clear that it was time to leave, she actually stood in the small bathroom with us while we took off our smocks. We’re we going to steal them? Smuggle out a cat?
If you can get past the feeling that you are in some mean, crazy ladies home trying to take one of her babies away, you might be able to give a cat a home.

Don’t waste your time. It took them several minutes to find their keys to unlock the front door and let us in (fire code?) then made us dip our shoes in bleach before we could enter the not-​so-​clean building. A volunteer then proceeded to rather rudely ask if we had an appointment and tell us they closed in 30 minutes. Then commenced 20 questions — «do you have a house, do you own it, we don’t adopt if you don’t own it, you can’t ever let the animal outside, have you had a cat before, what happened to it, etc.» Generally unpleasant older «cat ladies» working there. I’ve worked for a humane society and a rescue as a foster parent/​volunteer and our goal was always to find great homes for our animals. This place’s goal is clearly to be unhelpful, rude, and to hoard their pets. There were cats in cages all over the disorganized office area giving an already stifling atmosphere an air of carelessness. Check out the PetSmart charities or go to Animal Control if you want to adopt.

Just got off the phone with a real life Roz except she wasn’t on Monsters Inc., she apparently works at the Humane Society. I was looking to get a cat trap to try and catch kittens, foster them and try to find a good home for them. I also wanted to catch their mom, fix her and release her back outside.
The lady on the phone was extremely rude while chuffing that «I need to have a plan so that I don’t just have cats sitting in a trap» because she was”tired of getting calls all day from people giving up their pets.” This was after I told her what I was going to do and how it would not be the first litter I caught and re-​homed. She wasn’t listening, and her monotone voice told me she had given this rude speech before. Regardless of your type of work, its unnecessary to talk to people like that.

The staff was less than helpful but we found our baby!

Great place. They really take good care of the animals and follow up after your purchase to make sure all is going well. My cat lived there for over a year until I adopted her.
