Mississauga Animal Services

My experience adopting Clover was nothing but amazing. My partner and I first met her a little over a week prior where the amazing volunteers guided and introduced us to the cats in a way that made us feel both at home (weirdly enough) and confident to adopt from this location. Well, Clover here stole our hearts and we knew she was the one. After a week of preparing it seemed that luck (perhaps a four-leaf clover) was on our side as she was still there. This love bug was instantly curious to explore within 10 minutes of arriving home and has been nothing but a sweetheart so far, adjusting faster than ever expected. Her vet appointment is coming up but I have no concerns. The woman who helped me with the adoption process walked me through every step and made sure I had and knew what I needed. I can't understand how someone could dump this sweet girl, but it's their loss as she is ours to spoil now. Thanks for everything Animal Services!

My husband and l visited Mississauga Animal Services back in December 2022 and picked up our new family member Clementine, shelter name Vera. She is the most adorable little creature you will ever meet. The staff was very helpful in allowing us to get up close and personal with her on our visit and we just were so taken by her that we took her home. I would recommend them wholeheartedly when you are looking for your next “furry” family member.

One can find a lot of varieties of cats, rabbits and dogs that are looking for their forever home. I was more interested in seeing what types of cats and dogs were there and I must say cats are really lovely and friendly.When I went near their cage they started offering me their little paws which was so touching for me as I never had a cat before so I am unaware of their love language. There were a lot of short hair, medium hair and long hair cats. Overall I really liked the place and would definitely go to adopt one when I am ready.

I’ve had to contact Mississauga Animal services a few times but today we had to contact them about a bunny nest that our dogs found in the backyard. We appreciated the animal control officer, Kenton who came by and educated us on why they can’t be moved, he confirmed they are healthy and let us know the typical bunny process for leaving. As much as I would prefer they not be in my backyard for safety reasons (for them) we will be diligent with watching out dogs and not allowing them out.

April 12th, I went to drop off some donation items. The door was locked so I placed the pet carrier by the door. Whilst walking back to my car to get the cage. A woman with face piercings aggressively sped towards me asking me in a rude manner if she could help as though I was stealing or doing something wrong. So I told her why I was there. What a rude person.

Called them about a small dog I had found. They came within the hour to pick up the dog from my house on Saturday evening. The lady was very nice and also reassured me, explained what happens in such cases. Thank you MAS

I called today about a raccoon in distress, shivering, and quite literally dying on the sidewalk in front of my house. I was told someone would be over to assist shortly. This was at 4:30pm in the afternoon. I came out again at 9:30pm to find that the raccoon passed away and its corpse lying at the end of my driveway. What’s the point of animal services??

Called in to ask if they do pet surrenders, lady who picked up my call returned my question with a sarcastic remark that was not needed as I am devastatingly needing to surrender my cat due to financial issues. She was not friendly, I felt belittled and was not compassionate at all. I ended up feeling worse about my cat after I called this shelter.

As much as I'd rather 100% adopt and not shop, I do NOT recommend adopting from this shelter. I adopted an 8 week old kitten last week and noticed a yellow discharge from his eyes. I commented on the possibility of an infection, yet the lady cleaning the cat room said it's normal as it happens in kittens". I was told that I had 72 hours to have the kitten assessed by my vet
