My Nonprofit Reviews

This is the worst animal shelter for cats I have ever visited. The animals are kept in small cages, and despite the existence of one room for free-roaming, it is kept empty. I visited a particular cat that won my heart for weeks, and for weeks it had a sign saying volunteers could not touch him. He sat in that cage with matted hair hanging off and finally, I started to remove the mats myself. He was gentle, loving and did not deserve the "no touch" sign. When I could stand his treatment no more, I went to adopt him and was told he was transferred but the staff were not permitted to tell me where he was. To further promote this cat's misery, the facilities director told me he was transferred and adopted. Assuming this to be a lie, I continued to search for him and finally adopted him from the New Hampshire ASPCA on Memorial Day. His paperwork indicated that on the day that I went to ARLGP to adopt him, he had not yet been transferred. I am disgusted with the treatment this cat received and with the lies I was told to prevent this animal from being given a good home. The welfare of the cats here is not important. What is important is the egos of the staff and their imperious right to promote misery for the animals.

The New Hampshire shelter was wonderful!
