I was at the shelter a few days ago to adopt a kitten and found the staff rude and condescending. The adoption was not successful. Was basically threatened that a staff member would tackle me. Several years back the previous staff did a much better job which led me to make donations and to keep returning. I feel sorry for animals. I will not return.

Adopted a kitten from here about a month ago. Unbeknownst to my knowledge, the kitten had a UTI, crystals in his urine, a severe ear infection, AND ringworm! The woman was nasty on the phone about why I didn’t bring him back to them. What so I could pick another kitten that could also be sick? So you could take my new baby and do god knows what with him? I don’t think so. I also got my older cat from them and when we got her she had Cat acne(to which they told me to come and pick out another kitten; this was 6 years ago; thought they might have changed.) So clearly they don’t take care of the animals that aren’t shown to the public eye for adoption. Already filed multiple complaints with different agencies for neglect by the vet. DO BETTER BCAS!

Called to bring in a homeless kitty I found. After 5-10 minutes of laughter from the lady and her co workers she finally answers and says they can’t take it. At least put me on mute when talking to your friends!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.
