There something wrong with these people very unprofessional the lady literally said the F word probably six times in a 15 minute conversation these animals are not taking care is like death row for cats it’s disgusting all they care about is stealing money from people they’ve already been in trouble with the Humane Society all the cats were removed .It is such a bad place..they let the cats get so sick some of them were near death this place needs to be shut down permanently no decent human being would allow something like this to happen I pray one day the state of Ohio shuts them up let me down permanently they need to lose her license no shelter what would allow cats to be very sick

I absolutely love my two fur babies that I got at WSC.. I had to move from a house to an apartment and needed to find the right place that would let me have my furry kids... I’m so happy and blessed to have these loves in my life. They definitely make my days better. The staff at WSC was very helpful and courteous, and so many beautiful cats there I wish I could give them all homes.. I can’t thank you enough WSC.

I love cats so when I was offered a chance to foster through wsc I was thrilled. I volunteer three days a week. They run completely on volunteers where each room is cleaned every morning. They always can use more help and are working hard to keep these kitties happy and find them forever homes.
They have an on site clinic where they tale care of the sick kitties and work with a wonderful local vet.
When surrendering a cat they ask for but do NOT require donations. Each cat gets tested and all their vaccinations along with a microchip and a spay or neuter as needed.
I love these little kitties and am always extremely happy when one goes home.

My experience is endless and ongoing. I spend six days a week here working as hard as I can within my physical limits. So do all of the other dedicated volunteers.
We take in the cats and kittens that every other shelter rejects, we rehabilitate them, spay/neuter them, love them, and find them homes. Our volunteers kill themselves making sure the shelter is clean, the cats are fed & watered and receive proper vet care.
This is not an animal rescue. Any cat that comes in gets a bowl of food and maybe a filthy bed and litterbox. These poor animals are so sick, yet will never see a vet. West side cats claims they test and vaccinate, yet many have feline leukemia, distemper and calicivirus. You are charged for the tests and vaccinations, yet they never get them. Three yesrs after adopting my two cats from there, they are still requiring medical care as a result. I will do whatever they need. Three local veterinarians have told me they see many very ill cats come out of West side cats. They are a group of first class crooks. The animals get nond of your donations. That money is for Kimm and her 300 lb. Friends to go out to eat with. Please do not donate to these crooks!!!
The poor cats get no real medical care. Healthy cats go in there and come out near death. We adopted a cat who was so sweet, but very ill. We could not leave him there, as we were sure he would die quickly. He needed nearly $800 of veterinary care. He had pneumonia, calicivirus, three types of worms, an ear infection, ear mites, three open abcesses, fleas and ringworm. The poor cats suffer horribly in that place. There is no care, they are just thrown in a room to die. It is the equivalent of a puppy mill for cats. Awful, awful place.

My wife and I strongly support WSC for their fine efforts caring for so many lost, neglected and abandoned cats. Everyone there takes great care and gives enormous love to all of the little critters in their charge. They all do a wonderful job.

My neighbor had a beautiful and loving starving kitten dropped off on her front door. She can't keep this cat, because she can't afford to feed it. She has been layed off from her job and has 3 children. My daughter sends through PayPal money for Westside cats. She said she would gladly send 10$a month at least to help take care of this baby. The neighbor does not want this kitten to get hit by a car or for something bad to happen to it. I myself already have 2 female cats and he's a male unneutered. Can you please help? My phone # is 330719-7937.please this kitten is probably 3 months and very loving. I can't keep helping her. Thankyou for reading this Sincerely Lisa Wolgang

I've adopted two beautiful cats from West Side Cats. I've been in there many times to donate. I have NEVER seen the things the people below are saying. OMG, this place is AWSOME! It's clean, there were two ladies on their hands and knees scrubbing floors by hand! The cats are very well fed and cared for. The vet that they use is MY vet as well...and I love them dearly. Stop by and visit this shelter and see for yourself how wonderful West Side Cats is! I would ALWAYS recommend!

West Side Cats is a terrible shelter. My boyfriend and I adopted two cats there, I adopted an older one he adopted a kitten. They left aggressive animals in the room with disabled, blind, or deaf cats and let it bite, scratch and terrorize them. Kimm is very rude, she called me and my boyfriend dumb and animal abusers, and that we were killing our cats feeding them certain foods. Throughout the visit she insulted me, cussed, insulted my knowledge on animals, claimed that she knew more than my vet when they recommended putting my cats on certain food or certain surgical producers. The cats are also in HORRID conditions. She lies and makes us spend money on pointless things, and neglects the cats. She left a disabled cat who was bitten by dogs in with other aggressive cats who was bullying it. I'm never adopting from them again, she is so rude and has no idea what she's talking about.
