Central California SPCA

I am deeply disappointed by my experience here in regard to their surgery clinic. I booked an appointment to get a feral cat spayed, which is a stressful process. It was extremely difficult to place the feral cat in a cat trap, she unfortunately escaped in the process of moving her. I knew I was going to miss the appointment window but when I called, Cristina (front staff) showed zero empathy or understanding of community cat caretaking. Explaining the situation to her, she responded in an insensitive tone and a bit sarcastic when telling me nothing could be done. They were not able to refund or credit my deposit, despite the circumstances. SPCA is a high-volume clinic that should have better protocols and compassion for people actively trying to reduce the stray population. In regards to their vaccination clinic, the prices are affordable but they mix in appointments and walk-ins so they always seem to be "running behind schedule"…be prepared to wait an extremely long time. Client assumes all risk.

It was easy to make an appointment online from their website for vaccines for my fur baby. We were seen pretty quickly. Their combo specials are extremely reasonable, way, way cheaper than my vets office. I was also able to schedule her to get spayed in a couple of weeks. Will definitely be returning here for her regular vaccines. This place beats the HOPE Animal Foundation by a mile!

I had a great experience with the Central California SPCA. The staff truly care about the animals and go above and beyond to make sure they are safe, healthy, and loved. It’s clear they are making a positive impact in the community, and I’m so grateful for everything they do.

Just a little while ago I had to take my dog in to cross the rainbow bridge and the people. There are so kind and gentle with your animals. It's unbelievable and refreshing 😍 I'm taking my next service dog to be spayed and microchipped there because I trust these people. She's also going to get some vaccinations when it's time from the ASPCA! The little dog was my service dog that I put down and his name was Sam and he served me for a great 8 and 1/2 years. The big dog that you see with the German Shepherd colored face and the white body is Olive and I'm adopting her to be my next service dog ❤️

Was able to get both my cats microchipped without any problems.

My dogs used to run out from our backyard frequently and roam around the neighborhood, mind you they were both chipped and friendly neither of them caused harm on anyone and on top of that when they’d leave to explore they always found their way home. Until they didn’t because the SPCA got to them first, had them for less than 24 hours and then euthanized one of them without discussing with us first or notifying us that our pets were being held at this shelter. Same thing happened a few months later with the second dog we had, horrible place I’ll never forget the pain they caused on me as a child and now for killing off both of my dogs. reception lady was super insensitive too hopefully she doesn’t work there anymore .

Took my pup to get his vaccine & the lady in the reception was super ! All the staff were very welcoming. The wait it short when you make an appointment! They also take walk ins, and they have packages that offer several different vaccines for pups/dogs.
