The ASPCA NYC is a shining example of what an animal care organization should be. I cant believe how far theyve come and the ideology and knowledge of the staff give any perspective new owner/caregiver the confidence and tools necessary for success.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
keep it going just the way it is. It seems to be moving in the right direction.

We had in the past sent contributions to this organization and - because of the name behind it - had purchased insurance for an adopted cat. The insurance has numerous bad reviews of people saying that it would not pay out. type in the organization name and scam and you will see....
They were exactly right - it appears that their insurance is a scam.
If ASPCA wants people to trust them about their mission and whether they use their contributions right, perhaps they should hire a REPUTABLE company to manage their pet insurance which bears their name.
If you lend your name to a service, then you should make sure that they are doing what they say they will do. This makes me trust this organization very little, now.

I adopted a cat from the ASPCA center at East 90th Street in Manhattan. The experience was wonderful. Adoption staff ask each prospective adopter to fill out a brief survey to find out about their needs, preferences and expectations for a new pet. Each of the enclosures for the animals at the shelter have detailed notes on the animal's health status, special needs, and behavior traits and personality posted on the outside. The trained adoption staff try to show the person planning to adopt all the animals that seem to closely match their needs and preferences. For me, it really worked.
The people working and volunteering at the adoption center are great - very friendly and professional.
The facility is beautiful...very clean and modern.
Three days after adopting my cat, I received a followup message from ASPCA to find out if I things were going well...and to ask for feedback.
It was a GREAT experience! If you want a pet - go to ASPCA.

I recently adopted my lovely cat from Aspca and I am very happy with it. First the Shelter is very nice, clean and all the animals there seems to be in a good place ( god bless these people ). They take good care for the animals there and the staff are all very friendly, The Process of the adoptation was very easy and smooth and you get to interact with the pet first to see if you guys are a good fit. Of all the shelters I've been to ASPCA pet shelter is among the top.

Receiving several robo calls per day from a telemarketer. No message - just hang-ups. Obviously the donations are going to telemarketing companies and NOT to the animals. They are off our list and we will never donate again. Shame on them.

I think that CEO's salary is too high for this organization. Think how many animals can be fed with this money (over $5000,000). Most of us donate a very little sum of money that can support about 3 months supply of food for a small sized dog. It is outrageous that a small donation is also supporting the CEO's salary. I would like to more money going to the program.

It is our obligation as humans to provide for animals. Especially those in our care, animals deserve to be healthy and happy. The ASPCA's mission is to end animal cruelty. Every human should be committed to that. For more information, go to http://karenhanover.org/karen-hanover-charities/karen-hanover-charities-aspca/ and get involved by either volunteering or by making a donation.

Although my partner and I are volunteer at ASPCA around a year, we still appriciate what they do for each cat or dog. They really take good care of these "friends". Recently, I saw Grayson, a nine years old cat, was in the shelter. I was surprised not because his owner can not have him anymore, I was surprised because they treat Grayson just like their kids! He's size is large, so he has two condo. Grayson also has some urinary problems, so they give him treatment. By now, Grayson is doing so well that he's not afraid by socialize with people.
Thanks ASPCA!!

I wanted to adopt a young cat and had just been to another animal shelter where I was only shown very large and heavy cats - much too heavy for me. Some of them bit my fingers when I tried to pet them or lift them up. Then I went to the ASPCA. What a difference! Helpful and friendly volunteers, modern glass cages, happy and well cared for cats. Here is where I found my lovely and loving tabby!

I had never visited a pet shelter before, so I tried to keep my expectations neutral. The staff at the 92
ASPCA were welcoming and the service was great! The quick survey they had us fill out was right on point. jasmine explained it to us and she was quite patient taking us to see the cats. Dale was great too. We were blessed to find Smurfette now named Ife'. I will recommend the ASACP to everyone who will listen! Thanks.
