Cat Adoption Center
Unlike traditional shelters, our cat adoption center has 14 spacious cat rooms, all thoughtfully designed with our curious cats in mind. Rooms have elevated platforms so our high dwelling cats can perch from atop to explore, giving all cats ample room to claim their own space. Beds and blankets are placed throughout for our cats to nap on.
Our cats have :
- Catios
- Misters during the hot summer days
- Freedom to roam between rooms
- Private rooms for senior cats, kidney patients and FIV+ cats

Dog Adoption Center
Our dog adoption center consists of over 32 kennels. Each kennel provides a cozy space for our dogs to relax and more than half of our kennels connect to an outdoor kennel, where our dogs can enjoy fresh air.
Outdoor kennels have proper roofing to protect our dogs from harsh sunlight and rainy weather. Misters have been installed to keep our dogs cool during the summer months.
Blankets are provided and kennels are cleaned thoroughly in the mornings and evenings. Our dedicated staff and volunteers also clean up throughout the day and check water bowl levels to ensure our dogs have a clean space and fresh water.

Art O'Brien Feral Cat Sanctuary
Our Art O'Brien Feral Cat Sanctuary provides a vast outdoor area for the local feral community at Valley Animal Center. There is an indoor shelter with a high-end cooling system for hot summers. The refuge also has a food area to nourish our cats.
Our staff implements routine wellness exams on the ferals and provides ample food and water. Many of our ferals are quite friendly and will approach staff who decide to take breaks with them.
