Adopted our lovely Siamese cat, Nylah (formerly named Buzz) here back in February. It was a little bit of a process for her to settle in here at home because of her previous traumas, but she's really come out of her shell and has opened up tremendously to me and my mom. She now never leaves either of our sides and loves lounging around and being spoiled with cuddles! We absolutely adore Nylah and are beyond blessed she ended up in our laps, metaphorically & literally.
The experience this shelter has is amazing & is what I feel every shelter should be like. Very clean environment and everyone was very informative on the entire adoption process. You can truly tell they care about their animals. Would highly recommend if you're looking to adopt a pet in the Foco area!

Brought home our new fur baby today. Highly recommend over getting a free kitten. Even though it's $200 that includes everything. Spray or neutering, shots, food, litter, free vet appt, insurance for a month.

We love visiting and spending time socializing with all the felines in the cat room. The rescues here receive exceptional care and the place is very tidy. If you are looking for a cat or kitten I highly recommend the Animal Friend Alliance here in Ft Collins.

Best place by far to take your pets for spay or neuter! They are resonably priced and all costs are up front. I took both of my girls here and they did a magnificent job making sure that surgery went well Before and After! They even took the time to do a full evaluation of both and sent notes in the aftercare paperwork post surgery on what they found or needed to be worked on beyond the procedure. I HIGHLY recommend this facility! I honestly wish they were a full vet clinic, they are that amazing!

If I could give 0 stars I would, absolutely terrible service. Took my dog in to get neutered and I got a call saying they snipped a major artery by "accident" and had to do emergency surgery, almost killed my dog. Took him back for vaccinations, to give them a second chance, and they forgot to give him a test that was paid for in advanced. They did schedule me to come back in and take the heart worm test that I paid for and they never called or emailed me results after about 3 weeks.
I had to call for results myself. Absolutely terrible service, very unprofessional. Will be looking for a new vet asap. I'd rather pay thousand and thousands of dollars for the proper vet, instead of wasting my time at this poor excuse of a pet clinic. I highly recommend people do their proper research before taking any of their pets here. The service is more quantity over quality. My dog is a part of my family and to be treated like that is absolutely uncalled for. Will be finding a new clinic. Terrible service, Terrible communication. They didn't even apologize. 100 thumbs down
