Great crew of people who love cats and work very hard taking care of the cats and kittens . These cats are looking for a forever home stop in and take a look you may just walk out with a new family member .

I got a beautiful little boy here. They take amazing care of their animals and they know them well. I would highly recommend adopting from here.

I went to look for a kitten friend for me cat whos long time companion passed away. We ended up leaving with 2 who stole our heart.

Definitely would recommend! They have an amazing staff who care so much about these animals. They have you fill out an application and recommend certain pets for you specifically. They want you and them to be happy.

Very caring and nice volunteers on staff. Took the kitten who I rescued from outside where coyotes have been eating stray felines and some were my neighbors cats who like to go outside.

Very Loving Concerned voluteers that really care about the furkids

Privately run, non profit feline rescue group. Wonderful, caring volunteers. Weve had our kitty for a few months. She has made a wonderful addition to our home!

Dont get me wrong, most of the people working there were incredibly nice except for one lady- I think her name was Roxy. Were new to owning a pet and we wanted to get some more insight on the cats and which ones would be a good match with us so we talked to most, if not all of the volunteers during our stay. Mostly everyone was incredibly friendly and they all gave us good advice when we asked. But this one lady got really weird- she told us that getting another cat would conflict with the 8 year old cat that our friend has been talking about giving us (who is super chill, super good with other pets, literally no issues whatsoever). Then she started trying to cause issues over the fact that i had put that i would let the cat outdoors on the application, which i explained afterwards was a misunderstanding. (Im willing to clicker train, harness train, and take an overly-high-energy cat for walks, not let them roam free in the way of danger) Everyone else was being super nice though, so we brushed it off and continued looking at the cats until we found a kitten that we absolutely fell in love with. We went back to the main room excited and eager to take in the newest member of our family, when we were told that somehow we had been denied. Turns out that the staff we initially were talking to approved us, but the lady who was acting weird went back and denied us afterwards without saying anything. We asked her why, told her were willing to change anything at all because were new to owning pets and of course we dont know everything, and her response was to shout in our faces that were inconsistent and we dont know what we want. Im sorry, but whether were good potential cat owners or not, there is no excuse for shouting at us the way she was, especially not while working. Super unprofessional. Those cats are absolute sweethearts and Im all for people adopting them, but i am 1000% not a fan of the shelter if thats how they let their staff act.

Wonderful place, I adopted a cute kitten, who is great. Clean place and they have a lot of cats and kittens. They get spayed or neutered and get a microchip and get there shots.

Horrible honestly. I had filled an application in hopes of getting a kitten and providing a home to an animal in need. I have a family of children all over the age of 16, a home, income and experience with cats as well as a vet. I was denied after I was told all I needed was to provide vet information. I wanted to know the reason that I was denied but I was only told that over a 100 people applied for the same cat as if that’s my business or what I was asking all I wanted was a cat. Being that I was never provided why I was denied I feel as though it was racially charged. Shame on all of you if that is true. That the color of my skin and my attire can determine my eligibility for a kitten.

This animal rescue is the best it cares for the animals and helps no matter what Ive had good experience with them they are the best

We adopted a puppy..they were all awesome.. Santa nka Hemi..

Always great. Clean, friendly, the animals all seem happy and kept healthy. 100% one pf the best places to adopt a cat from in WNY.

What a beautiful adoption center! The people are so caring and attentive. The animals are clean and well cared for. Nothing dirty or soiled. All the cats are beautiful and I would have adopted them all!!❤❤

These people care very much for the wellbeing of these animals . Was very impressed. Only wish they had a bigger building.

Friendly all volunteer staff. We went for a kitten and left with two. We filled out the application online and came to the shelter the following week. Everything went very smoothly and our kittens are wonderful.

Well It does take long to make a appointment to get one also the best place I went to

Best rescue Ive ever dealt with. They care about each animal they rescue & communicating with them is easy. Although they are all volunteers, the response time is fast. I would highly recommend Pets Alive WNY.

Weve adopted two kittens from this rescue, very friendly and great experience 🐱🐱😺😺

I had the worst experience trying to adopt from this place. When we first walked in, the staff insisted we fill out an application to see if we are even able to adopt a cat. Okay, fine, no problem. We filled out the application. Then, we were interrogated about what pet food we would use, if we had owned a cat before, do we have other pets, what kind of environment we would have for the cats. When asked about what food was recommended or if the staff had any advice about what the environment should be like, was rudely told that we should come back when we were better prepared to have a cat. We have owned pets (dogs and cats) for years, are always responsible, always take them to their check ups, vaccinate and love them dearly, so were shocked and taken off guard by the hostility shown to us. Meanwhile, my kids had fallen in love with 2 cats. Was told we had to wait until they reviewed our application and checked references. Asked about what references they would check and was told they would call our vet to see if we would be good pet owners. What if this was our first pet? Do they instantly deny people who have never owned a pet before? Surprised that it was this difficult to adopt, we went home.2 days later, got an email saying we were approved. Great. Went back and were again interrogated about what supplies we had, what food we were going to get, etc... I said we would get whatever supplies were needed that day and asked what food the cats had been given or what was recommended, and was never given a straight answer, just not Friskies and that they ordered their cat food and it couldnt be found in the store. Very judgmental and unhelpful. Then the manager said she would have to ask the foster mother of the cats if we were acceptable enough to adopt the cats and told us that we have to leave and come back. My kids were expecting to be able to adopt the cats and having the manager rudely interrogate and berate me in front of my children made them cry there and all the way home. It was awful. I will not be going back. I would recommend that the staff of this center (especially the manager) communicate better, be kinder, more helpful and less judgmental to people just trying to adopt a cat to love and take care of.

I recently adopted a sweet, happy and well socialized 6 month old kitten from Pets Alive WNY. The staff was friendly and compassionate. As soon as we got home, the kitty made himself right at home. He is very trusting and not at all shy which makes it clear that he was treated with love and attention while he was in their care. I definitely recommend adopting from here!

I’ve visited several animal shelter, this is the best!!All volunteers are kind, caring and hard working!!Very clean and all animal are treated like they are one family!Special thanks to volunteer Michele!I wish we had one like it in my country Saudi Arabia .Great experience.

Friendly staff, adorable cats, and a quick and easy adoption process! Would recommend this rescue to anyone looking for a new cat! The staff there is also extremely knowledgeable about cats and how to raise them and keep them healthy! They showed us spreadsheets on different cat foods and the benefits and downsides to each, recommended vendors and products for wet food, dry food, and kitty litter, and gave us a wealth of information on the temperaments and likes and dislikes of each of the cats we were considering. They made us confident not only that we were adopting the right cat for us, but also that we could care for him adequately and keep him healthy. Beyond satisfied with Pets Alive!

I adopted my 2 life savers (kittens) here!! My daughter adopted 2 kittens and my niece adopted a more mature 6 year old cat here! I highly recommend stopping by, donating, fostering or adopting the next love of your life from here. All animals are vet checked, spayed or neutered, and micro chipped. Stop in some time!!

I had occasion 2 days ago to visit this wonderful facility and adopt a beautiful domestic short hair kitten called Gretel (since renamed Becky). The facility is very well maintained and the staff is excellent and caring. Becky was in excellent condition and it was apparent she was loved and well cared for. You couldnt do better than this rescue shelter.

We went in looking to adopt a kitten and we ended up adopting an older cat. The staff was friendly and helped us make our decision but ultimately left it up to us. The process was simple and quick but they answered all of our questions and gave us all of her records for every shot shes ever received. Even though there was an adoption fee which we expected it was so worth it considering the cat came spayed and was up to date on everything and we knew exactly what we were getting in to. So happy we found our forever cat and I would recommend anyone who is looking to adopt a pet to consider at least coming to this place and looking.

I love the people and the pets they take care of!

Adopted our new family member in November. Very caring and helpful people. Recommended the best cat that fit what I was looking for. Highly recommend going there!

Amazing to work with. I filled out an application online for a doggie. We ended up adopting her and bringing her home Sat a.m. Everything was flawless and there was no stress. Lindsay was amazing to work with as was the foster parents. :)

I went there twice. The volunteer staff workers kick me out twice every time I went there. If I wont leave and they will call police on me. They were very discriminated against me because I have some disabilities. I am not allow to go there again and to adopt a kitty. They are very very rude, nasty and horrible to me. They are just terrible people. I wont not recommend to anyone to go there. I am very very very very ANGRY with them. Theres no excuse for this at all. First of all those staff workers are very very WEIRD and very very STRANGE. They are bunch of B***HES and bunch of NITWITS...

They really care for the animals and they dont put them down cuz they havent found there home yet! Keep up rhe awesome work$

Lots of credit for any rescue. Not dogs on site but thats OK because they are all in foster care. The adoption process seems longer, and far more expensive then the spca. But the young lady that spoke with us was very knowledgeable about the animals on site, and very friendly and kind.

Outside appears a little shabby but that seems to be because the focus is on caring for the cats inside.

Was closed when I was going to go but have heard good things

The women who work here are very kind and helpful, and the kittens here are to die for. Best place in the area by far.

Adopted My Best Girl Maggie the cat here, really cool people

I came to petsalivewny to adopt a cat. I was invited to sit in the apartment, a large area where multiple cats of same age live. I sat down and a big cat, Carter, jumped on my lap and marked me and purred. I told staff Id take him. This apartment arrangement allowed me to see cats cohabiting, so I adopted a 2nd cat, whod been there a while, but at that moment wanted nothing to do with me. We are enjoying life and I cant thank this shelter enough for getting the cats socialized for adoption.😻

They dont get back to you very quick

Very prejudice i went a hour away to get a kitty, they said i had to hold her until after she gets shots and is spayed & instead of paying the hold fee i pay for her all at once & a week later i get a rude email saying i can’t get her bc i won’t return her to get spayed first that’s not true and second i was patiently waiting until after all her shots and after she get spayed.. i personally will never come back here again. Very unprofessional.

Would like to see photos of cats for adoption?

This is the best animal shelter!! All the volunteers are incredible!! Each and every animal is treated like they are family!

Unfortunately I had a bad experience. I found this to be unprofessional. Im very disappointed.

Good place for information about dog and cats. Rescue animals well cared for.

Great place, Maria was very helpful and accommodating now we have a great addition to our family

They take good care of the cats, and inform you before you adopt about what to expect

Wonderful place to adopt a pet. Always looking for volunteers and donations of food, litter, bleach, pet toys

Many volunteers helping the kitties!!

Took home the live of my life! 💖😽
