Cedar Valley Humane Society, Cedar Rapids IA

Adopted our newest member from here and the staff was very helpful. Both of our cats have been adopted from here.

I know what was written here before, it was not very kind. This is attributed to not only post-event anger and pain, but also a lack of understanding. After receiving my email, which admittedly was even angrier, the director of this facility called my wife and I. We had a very heartfelt conversation and she took the time to explain to us why she had made the decision she did in regards to our cat. I do understand that none of these decisions are easy, and what previously felt like a pulling of the rug, was actually her trying to do what was in our cats best interest from their point of view, just as we were trying to do what was in her best interest from ours.

With that understanding, and now knowing that they do in-fact weigh things with your pets best interests in mind, I have chosen to rewrite this and change the rating. Thank you for taking the time to call us and explain where you were coming from, it eases our minds greatly.

As was stated, many times it is a thankless job trying to take care of all those animals with limited staff and limited resources. So thank you again for taking time out of your day to contact us.

We've adopted 2 wonderful cats from CVHS. Twiggy we adopted 4 years ago, she has just been such a light in our family. The perfect cat for us. On Aug. 1st I adopted a beautiful white cat (Snuggle) with heterochromia from them too and named her Yuna. She has such a sweet disposition and fits into my household perfectly. Yuna developed a UTI and they called their Vet Tech for me and gave me UTI meds for her for free. I love how they support adopters through the whole process and ensure the pet they adopted stays healthy. Staff and volunteers there are so extremely kind and helpful as well.

For anyone struggling to make ends meet that needs dogfood, this place can help. They are life savers

This place was amazing. We were having to say goodbye to our kitty Bobcat and they were so kind and understanding. They made a painful time in our life a little more bearable.

My son's dog got lose and was found about a block from our house. Their Facebook post said she was taken to CVHS. Monday morning after sending them pics of her they confirmed it was her and we were able to go get her that afternoon.

Absolutely awesome. They took in my two huge pit bull puppies without any problems. The establishment is always clean, and the staff gives off hospital vibes.

Only thing I don't like is their hours. A little incovienant but besides that. I'm very greatful for the times they have been able to help. And they do go above and beyond. Thank you

I went in and the lady in charge Amanda was extremely rude. I heard the way she talks to her employees while I was looking at animals and I would never allow someone like her in charge.

Went to the shelter to adopt a dog that has been returned and was given multiple reasons why she was returned. Then was given multiple reasons why I'm not good enough to adopt which had nothing to do with application I signed willing to fullfil the requirements. Also told my dog had passed away too soon before I applied I asked to be emailed the policy. It's days later I still feel horrible even management wouldn't help

Friendly and helpful staff that seem to love what they do! Been going for years to see animals and make donations. I now travel too much for a pet but love seeing people who love to help the animals <3

Went to pick up my two cats and the people on shift were extremely rude. Didnt tell me I needed a carrier and then demanded I pay for a carrier when I got there or I wouldn’t get my cats. Only because they wanted more money. They said all I needed was the 80$ to get them out. Originally I was told that it would be nothing to get them by the animal officer that picked them up. Never again.
