We went there to adopt a cat. They said they had no room for this cat. They said if you can’t take him we are leaving him outside. So we took him.A few days later we noticed he had pink eye. We brought him back they said no it’s his lungs gave us medicine . The Medicine made it worse because they prescribe the wrong medicine for him. So we brought him back this time they gave us a different medicine that caused ulcers on his eye and was making him go blind he was in a lot of pain also they finally told us that they would have to remove his eye they would not give us any pain medicine for him either which he was in a lot of pain and very depressed so now he only has one eye by being misdiagnosed by the staff at Yuma Humane Society and let him go through the pain. They were not eye specialist and they made him blind don’t bring your animal there for treatment

We have a pet food bank called 4 Paws Pantry for low income families struggling to feed their pets. Our humane education program, BeHumane, brings animal welfare topics into the classrooms of K-12 students to educate youth on bite prevention, responsible pet ownership, and animal cruelty. We also work with local rescue groups to transfer homeless pets from Yuma into other towns/cities where they are then placed in forever homes.
