Ottawa Humane Society

The donor appreciation day was well done. Loved the carolling! All the dogs and kitties were so cute!

This place is not very humane.
You have to have an appointment now to drop off a stray.
We went in with a stray cat, they were rude, disrespectful, and did not have the cats best interest at heart.
We were unable to leave the cat as we didn't feel they cared, at all. They wouldn't just do a chip check.
Luckily we were able to find the cats home.
All the lost binders are full of pages from 2019+2020.
There was no way to access their computer resources there.
It was very disappointing.
They are a kill shelter.

Took in a pregnant stray cat in who showed up desperate at my door. She gave birth to the kittens and I tended to them for weeks until they became too much so brought them to “Humane Society” to be adopted out with the exception of mom and 1 kitten who we requested back. They forced us to surrender them and tested mom who was FLV+. Without telling us they euthanized all the kittens without even testing them for FLV (even though statistically half would have been completely healthy). They were on the verge of euthanizing mom and I had to fight tooth and nail to save mom from death sentence. They told me she’d be dead in 6 months but finally let me adopt essentially my own cat. She recently passed away at 10 years after 8 great years with her. Was a wonderful cat that they would have euthanized as they did her babies. Recently visited to see their cats against my better judgement. Totally unclear what is available for adoption and what isn’t. We looked at cats we liked who had already been adopted with no notification of such. Seems to be all about them now and not the animals. Stood waiting at the front desk for the three staff to bother to acknowledge my presence as they were all simultaneously “busy” and did the “pretend not to see you tactic”. In case you’re wondering this is NOT a no kill shelter and they will kill potentially healthy animals rather than do a simple blood test on them. They’ve completely changed and not for the better. Last time I ever go there. Donate your money somewhere else.

We had a great experience adopting our 13 week old kitten, Merlin. The staff were very kind and knowledgeable. It’s so convenient to get a pet that’s fixed and has all its shots. Ours needed one more shot and we got a coupon for a free consult at a local vet so we’ll take him there for the consult and shot.

I visit the food bank here and they are amazing! It helps so much. My dog and kitty were so happy! Very nice and helpful people, thx so much

Thank you for the child! Boots is very loved! I nicknamed him chunk cause he's so porky! For real thanks for the work that yall do for the animals, yall rock!

Went on a Sunday I believe with our daughter to see some animals, we always wanted a dog but we both agreed that we don't have time for one. As we walked out a men with a cage and his son in the other arm came through the front door asking where he could drop off his unwanted pet. The lady told him to go a door over of the building and my gf was astounded nd followed him. After 2min she came back and asked me if we could adopt a cat and I told her it's up to her, long story short meet lily our newest addition to the family super loving super cuddly!!!
