SPCA Westchester Briarcliff Manor, New York

This place is seriously amazing! Cathi was nothing but helpful and Rosie was great! She matched us up with a kitty and we fell in love right away, she knew what she was talking about and how to match families with the perfect feline. We love our kitty!!

There are a lot of good reviews about this place but unfortunately I can’t say the same. I adopted a cat a little over two weeks ago from this place. Out of nowhere he got very sick so I decided to take him back to SPCA to see if there was anything they can to cure him as I had JUST gotten him no more than 2 weeks ago. When I got there on Sunday, there were no vet techs but only employees. These employees took a look at my cat and blatantly told me “he won’t make it past the night”. There was no remorse or any compassionate support or response. I went there to find help not to be told he won’t make it by employees who aren’t even vets. I thought they would assist me with my cat as there is a 2 week grace period for medical help and at this point it was just a few days over his 2 week grace period. The only option they gave me at the end was to surrender him back to the shelter to provide him with medical attention. I don’t think it’s professional for this facility to tell an owner “he won’t make past the night” and be rude to the owner whose completely worried about their cat.

This newly constructed facility is clean well-run the staff is good and kind to all the four-legged creatures there the spay neuter clinic is well run timely and again staff all very good and kind to the animals and their new families we got our new four-legged baby there Natalie we feel lucky and blessed thank you SPCA St Francis shines on you God bless

Everyone at SPCA were super awesome to us! I appreciate each one for the great work they do. My hubby and I are proud pet parents to baby Bella! She certainly brought joy and happiness in our home and hearts. Bella loves to explore and run all around the house. She particularly loves the shower. Lol! We are so grateful.

A great place to adopt and provide a “ forever home” to the pet of your choosing, or drop of a pet you no longer want. Great place for volunteering. The staff are really helpful and friendly. Training volunteers in accordance with individual skill levels, availability, and abilities.

I absolutely loved everything about this place and my experience here. I came to adopt a cat which I did and everything about it couldn't have been much better in my opinion. This is a very clean, modern and well run shelter. The adoption process is very straightforward and they are very quick to respond to emails. I was very pleased by the relaxed environment and how professional everyone was. I am a big proponent of adoption as opposed to shopping for an animal and adopting from this shelter makes me more confident that it is the right thing to do. I would recommend this shelter to anyone who is looking to adopt.

We were very impressed with the people/volunteers/staff and are so glad for the major facelift now complete because the old facility was very run down and now it's a much better place for the Dogs and Cats to stay. We got our 3.5 year old Aussie Shepard mix there just as the pandemic begun and we couldn't be happier with him!!!

They took good care of my baby Mochi , he’s healed up perfect :)

This place is the worseeee they are very judgmental and discriminating! I spoke to “Katie” for about 2 wks, and my application was approved then last minute the day of my appt. today at 1:30 she decides to cancel it because i was taken a cab and she acts like it’s different from a regular car and because my cat hadn’t seen the vet in 2 yrs which i have an appt coming up on 9.13.21 nothinggg is wrong with him so that’s why he hasn’t been seen since 2019 but she just now decides to do HER JOB today after i was supposed to be there at 1:30 today! They expect me to do business with them but after today i doubt it because of the way I was treated! I’m sure if i was WHITE they would of gave me a dog! That’s sad and rude! Any dog there would’ve been loved immensely just like my 2 cats who are very loved and well taken care of! I went and spent $100 on a dog I DONT HAVE because of them!!!!

To quote a song lyric, simply the best.

Terrible place. Wait for hours and this is very unprofessional.

Great place to get pets and they have good Drs too. Help them monetarily and by adopting dogs from them and not from breeders. We got our darling doggie from them.

Extremely pleasant staff members. Showed us the available cats. Had extensive knowledge on each.

I adopted my angel rescue from here a few years ago and I do NOT regret a single thing ! The staff extremely polite (as always) and dogs are constantly getting adopted and new ones are coming in! They are always on top of their website which is amazing! I love their honesty about breeds ( I'm a pitbull lover) and they are SO helpful even after you adopt,! If I could give this place 100 stars I would!

Everybody's great and dedicated to the health and safety of animals.

Absolutely great people and place. So friendly and patient with us. Offered good advice and we are so happy with our pup. Recommended

This is a low cost and animal loving facility wrapped up in one location. They have been a blessing in my life when funds were low.

Very Nice people, organized honest and kind, My Hats off to this whole crew,from the second you get signed in you can tell these people who run place are very knowledgeable educated and aware ,THEY CARE! About the pets

They care..one of my rescues was just adopted out of ASPCA in Briarcliff Manor.

Review is for Veterinary clinic only: I heard many good things of this place as they rescue animals and such. However I am not very fond of the veterinary clinic. In my experience I took my 3 cats here previously for their physicals and dentals. I thought woah, for the prices and the reviews they are great and I even made the wait for their veterinary appointments, the wait times for an appointment or dental can be over a month. I found out with the physicals that they have such things as 3 year vaccines. At the time when I found out of these I thought, "this was great, no more having to bring them in yearly for vaccines". One of my cats developed a bump on his back leg from where they put in one of these 3 year vaccines. Months later this bump wouldn't go away and my cat soon developed kidney cancer and lastly passed away less than a year. I explained this to my new vet now, and he tells me that he doesn't like the 3 year vaccines because there is a higher chance that this bump happens with some of the cats.. Although rare, (No one told me of this) and if I would've known better, I wouldn't have accepted these 3 year vaccines. Also my cats are all indoors so not sure why the vets never mentioned these may not be necessary: distemper, rabies..( I looked around online and there seems to be some relation with cancer and these bumps that happen due to the vaccine and the body not accepting it). The 2nd issue I had, I thought also the dental prices were great. I took 2 of my cats to their appointments and came back with more than 1/3 of each of their teeth extracted (10-15 teeth each removed). Later, I find out that they don't do x-rays, etc. I am now taking my cats to a new vet that I highly recommend, and in their latest dentals, only cleanings due to tartar, no extractions. Even my 3rd cat that was a stray and never had a cleaning in his life, had no extractions in the new vet.. I made no difference in their diets.. so not sure how in Spca so many extractions were made and in this new place, none. In my opinion, I think you should take your cats to get dentals elsewhere. The prices also in the end were not much of a difference between new vet and spca clinic prices.

Really impressed with how clean and organized everything was. The staff were very knowledgeable and allowed me to meet a few dogs and guided me through the process to ensure my new dog was the right fit. Everyone was very nice and patient even though they were very busy. I’ll definitely be recommending the SPCA to others looking to adopt.

Very nice staff, job well done on my dog ,timely manner and the price was right!

Excellent. They do a nice job

Took my one year old cat here to be neutered and get all of his shots. They took great care of Artemis and he came home in excellent condition. They were very thorough and explained his post op needs. The fees were the best in Westchester County. I just wish they had more vet offices throughout Westchester.

I went there to get shots for my kitten it was curb side pick up and in less then 10mins they brought my kitten back to the car it was quick.

I adopted “Louis” and the both of us are so meowingly happy! The SPCA of Westchester is wonderful to both the pets and the people!

Lisa was great in the process, as well as the rest of the staff. Thanks for all the help.

They are following covid protocols well so don’t let that stop you from scheduling an adoption appointment! We had a lovely experience and are very happy with our kittens! The volunteers who helped us were so helpful and knew a lot about the animals. They also were very generous with an adoption bundle- gave us a nice carrier, a package of the food they had been eating and even their favorite toys and a scratcher! Would definitely recommend adopting from them.

Friendly staff that cares about your pets.

We adopted a puppy and the SPCA was fabulous. We met the trainer, Lisa, who offered a wealth of advice ranging from selecting the perfect puppy for your family to basic care needs (training, feeding, healthcare, etc.). She truly wants you to find the perfect puppy for you so my advice would be listen to what she is saying. We are so happy with our newest famiy member and cannot imagine life without her. I highly recommend the SPCA.
