Connecticut Humane Society

I have been to CT Humane Society many times, just kinda looking...who knows what will reach out to me ? I have also been to the Fox Memorial Clinic for many routine low cost spay/neutering, shots, deworming, tests, etc.both dog and cat under 1 year of age. The staff were not the friendliest, and only did what was barely necessary to get the animal into thier care, they were not considerate of the animal's feelings at all. They listed my two male cats as "Beware-Bites and Scratches" I laughed, these are the two friendliest cats that love people to pieces, and the staff couldn't take the moment or two to make an introduction to calm the animal? Of course, they are busy and very jammed with the workload, but it may help if the secretaries or vet techs didn't stand around and complain about different animals and thier owners after they left-I caught a whole conversation on a "disliked" customer and the quality of her dog's care. My pet's have all come back well done and up and moving in a day or two, I have had some other vets cut the animal so much the poor cat couldn't move right for a week. The cost is a good price for the vet's participation if you can get past the front desk crap Pros: null Cons: null more

I have had a half dozen experiences in this location - all of which were positive. The staff truly love the animals and treat them with so much kindness. The areas for the animals are clean and humane. When adopting, they truly try to get to know the potential new owners to ensure that the animal(s) is going into a good home. I have adopted most every animal during my lifetime from this location and highly recommend them! more
