They have helped me fix over 30 feral cats in the last year. Great people, very friendly. Great place to adopt as well. Looking for a cat look no further. Go to Woods.

They always take good care of my cats. Sometimes, they offer free cat food if you are struggling (best to call to ensure availability).

I was in Atascadero with my sister who just lost her 10-year old cat the day before. We visited the Ramona Road site, which is a cat-only shelter of the Woods Humane Society.My first impression is the shelter has a Cat Café vibe (without the caffeine and pastries)--very different from the typical animal shelters I've visit in Southern California. With kittens in a separate room, and FeHIV and FeLV cats isolated, the remaining cats roamed freely, providing a easy was for me to quickly assess the cats' temperaments and their interactions with humans and with each other.The staff is extremely dedicated and was emphatic to my sister's recent loss. They're very knowledgeable and do an extensive record history of each cat. In addition to Medical, they also have Behaviour records of the cats, including any quirks the cat may have (useful if you don't have a Cat Whisperer with you). Prior to an adaption, the staff does a comprehensive interview of the potential adopter to insure both human and feline compatibility. The staff gives the newly adapted cat a Going Away gift bag.After spending a day at the shelter, my sister adapted a 3-year old FeHIV ginger. She named him, HRH Prince Hairy.As an owner of 5 shelter animals myself (including a Pitt Bull on Death Row), I consider shelter animals to be some of the best animals that anyone can adapt. And while puppies and kittens are adorable, adult animals have many different personalities and that makes it easier for you to know what to expect before you bring them home.Finding homes for homeless cats is much harder than for dogs, with many cats and kittens ultimately being destroyed. It's great that there is a place like this dedicated to find homes for cats and kittens.This cat shelter in Atascadero does need donations like stationary and other supplies. You can call them to find out what items they need that you can donate.

Kind of neat, unique open floor plan layout. Cats are all roaming about indoors and out. Only ones in cages are the kittens not yet fully acquainted. You can spend time with all of the cats and you can even hold the kittens, too. They have several different areas to explore and they even have toys out to play with the cats so you can get to know their personalities. I would say the space is kid friendly, too. We brought our 2.5 year old who gets a little overzealous around cats. She had a blast and we managed to quickly find out which cats could match her energy and which would likely find out hard to adjust in the the same home.

Very impressed. The facility is clean, spotless. The cats are very well cared for. The staff was super friendly and Kaelei even showed us around and introduced us to all the available kitties.I highly recommend you visit Woods and consider adopting a cat, or two.

I just adopted the most loving cat! I looked at Wood's website, for a senior kitty. I visited Saturday, and with Heather's help, found Lucky! He's an adorable senior kitty. He's been here, a couple of days, and I just love him! Thanks, to all the staff, at Woods, in Atascadero!

You can count on Woods for anything you need to know and for help choosing the pet that fits your family best. Staff and volunteers are wonderful. It's a great charity to donate to, also. We are in the market for another dog pal when we get home in July.
