Atlanta Humane Society Roswell
Roswell, Georgia54 mi / 87 km
Atlanta Humane Society Roswell is a cat adoption and community center on Mansell Road in Roswell, in Atlanta's northern suburbs near GA-400. Opened by the Atlanta Humane Society at the start of 2025, it is set up as a place to hang out as much as a place to adopt: alongside rooms of adoptable cats, there is a coffee bar, free Wi-Fi, a lounge area and a small shop of cat-themed goods, and visitors are welcome to drop in to spend time with the cats whether or not they plan to adopt. Anyone who finds a match can adopt on the spot through the Humane Society's usual process, with the cats already vetted. The center runs frequent free events, from mahjong lessons to dog adoption days, and hosts a weekly low-cost vaccine clinic for cats and dogs on Thursdays. It does not accept animal surrenders.
