I respect pre-screening questions to find a good home for an animal. However... declining applications for an adoption for someone who can truly provide a good home seems a little ridiculous. I have never surrendered an animal to a shelter or humane society. Never abandoned an animal nor been unable to care for it. I have had a cat since the day he was born. He's 13 years old. I have a 4 month old kitten who is very energetic and needs a friend. I own my own house. Don't have a spouse I need to make co-decisions on and no allergies. Own my own business. I don't have to move for work. Yet I was denied a kitten that I wanted to provide a good home for and be strictly indoor. Unfortunate that they are denying potential good homes tor the babies based off assumptions... very sad.

They have no desire to adopt out any animals. We set an appointment at the Cat Cafe in Marietta where we picked out two cats and completed the application. The timing on the website is a lie, 48hrs. It was 3 weeks before we had any communication. We left a message to follow up with them and did not receive a call back. After 6 weeks and 2 phone interviews they stopped contacting us. No follow up or explanation why we would not be allowed to adopt. However I believe it’s because we answered the question of “would you allow the animals to go outside” with the explanation of we would provide a safe, screened in porch area to provide the animals with an outdoor experience. We have had multiple indoor/outdoor cats. As you can read in reviews below, others have had the same experienced. We have had multiple cats and dogs, and have never had such a bad experience trying to adopt a new pet for our family. The cat cafe owner is absentee. As overheard from the employees, the owner doesn’t care if the business is successful. The cats are stressed out and on top of each other. We will be looking for breeders.

Based on my experience with Cobb Humane Society, I will have to agree with other reviews left. I appreciate the vetting and interview process because these animals should be going to loving and caring homes. However, when you are asked a “what would you do if the cat should an interest in going outside?”, they are setting you up to not be approved. The cat I had applied for would have been an inside cat 100% but yet I was rejected because I stated that if the cat truly wanted to go outside, I would do so safely by using a pet stroller or some other means. I was notified the next day I would not be approved because they have a strict “no outside” policy. This policy is not communicated. I would consider finding another organization to adopt from!

I am very disappointed with the humane society of cobb. I went to interact with the cats at java cats Cafe to see how they would take to me. I found 2 cats that followed me around and i enjoyed playing with them. I filled out the application that day. 5 days later i called because i hadn't heard from them and left a message. I got a call the next afternoon for an adoption interview and was told they would get back with me on 4 days. I didn't hear back from them so i again called and left a message. They called back the following day after hours to inform me they will not allow me to adopt the kitties and would not give a reason. I since have been to another cat adoption place where i was paired with my current kitties... but it shouldn't have taken so long for the humane society to get back with me only to deny my adoption request without cause! I've grown up with cats, i own my own house, and live alone with no roommates or kids! What's wrong with this picture? Deny a pair of kitties a loving home to a qualified care taker?

I really didn't expect to write a negative review of the Humane Society, but our experience with them was abysmal. We found a lovely pair of cats at the associated Java Cat Cafe just off the square in Marietta. We applied that very day to adopt them and were told that it could take up to 10 days for approval through the Humane Society of Cobb County. Fine, we thought, we are happy that they thoroughly vet people before allowing adoption. Well, we heard nothing from them and gave it an extra couple days and checked in at 2 weeks. No return phone calls, despite our daily calls and getting only voice mail. After another 4 days they called us to say that our application had been lost. I make the 2nd application over the phone and they said that they would expedite the process and we would hear back from them in 2 days at the most. We have not heard back from them yet, and it is now well past 4 weeks since our original visit. It is so sad that willing and qualified adopters are treated with such disrespect. If we truly were turned down as adopters, we at least deserved a call or some kind of notification. I said qualified. At the 3 week mark, we went to Good Mews adoption center in East Cobb and left with a sweet pair of cats.
