Was told we could adopt a cat that had a lesion on his nose, he was placed at pet supplies plus, I let them know about his nose, and they decided to take him back to treat it. We were told it was ringworm and I called pet supplies plus to let them know and the rescue did not let them know, so luckily they were told so they can clean everything. I was still wanting to adopt him after he was treated. I talked to my vet and was told about a test they can do where they test the active lesion to see if they are a carrier, so I let the lady from the rescue know that I was in contact with, I offered to pay for the test and his treatment multiple times, she ignored me on the text I sent about the test, and sent me a screenshot of an article saying they aren’t carriers from ringworm, which if you look it up the first thing that comes up is how they can be carriers, and my vet also said that. I told her I didn’t want to risk giving my other cats ringworm and how I would pay for the test. I asked her multiple times how he was doing, the last time I asked she said she was on vacation and would let me know how he was when she got back. The next text she sent me was that he got adopted from an older couple coming in. I am concerned he was not separated from the other cats so they could have ringworm, I also thought it took months to treat ringworm. I am upset because we were excited to adopt him and had fallen in love with him, and we were told we could take him home once he was treated. I don’t know why she thought it was such an issue to do the test even if I payed for it. And for us to get a text saying he was adopted after she said she would let me know how he was doing, was beyond shocking. If you adopt here, please make sure you have a vet appointment scheduled before you bring them home to your other pets, so they don’t spread anything.

Mom donated the remainder of her yard sale stuff to them for the cats. The volunteers were saying “oh I’m gonna give this to my granddaughter” and deciding what they were going to keep. That was for the cats not the people. Then I’ve contacted them twice about displaced cats and kittens and TWICE they told me to text them the info then IGNORED me!! When I addressed these issues on Facebook instead of them acknowledging the issues and fixing them they blocked me…. They aren’t hurting me by their actions they are only hurting the cats!!! I used to be a HUGE advocate for them but it seems they have lost sight of their priorities… So sad to see them acting this way!

It was quite dirty and most of the cats were sick. Most of them are sweet but its dirty.

We adopted a beautiful male tabby. He's such a love bug. Please go to the cat rescue, if you want a cat. They have many that need a loving home. Awesome people who run this facility. You get a certificate for a free healthcare check also included in the adoption price. Please support a local shelter. 💯👍🤗

This place works for the cats of the local community, but in doing so they have become very overwhelmed and it is hard to keep over 150 in good health. Please be sure if you’re looking to adopt a cat make sure you be ready to take the cat to the vet immediately. Upper respiratory infections and herpes are a big problem with larger cat facilities. Just be aware that while this place is set out to do the best for the cats that are uncared for but, they’re understaffed and under funded which leaves them struggling to help all these cats. If the community cared more about their cats then this place would be a big success, they are trying they’re best and could use all the help they can get.

I give negative stars. I called and left a voicemail for advice or guidance an a kitten we wanted to help. He had rectal prolapse and it appeared to be new. His mom abandoned him we assume because of this. We did not even get the courtesy of a return phone callYou could at least tell us we or it does not matter, instead of nothing. Which is what I will now recommend anyone do for your organization from now on. Holding a dying kitten that could have been saved and trying to let it know that it is loved sucks. That's just one more thing someone like you could/should help with, but chose not to...

I adopted a kitten from the sp rescue. My little guy uses his litter box without fail, when I took him to the vet we were quite surprised that he had already been fixed. My experience has been great! I recommend your rescue and will use you again if I decide to get another sweet kitty!

These are wonderful folks, they perform a great service for the animals and the community operating off of donations alone. And they really need some supplies donated.

Have tried contacting this place for a stray cat who is sick and injured. No one has returned my call. I left my name and number. But it ok.....he passed away on my porch. All I needed was some advice where I could take him if they couldn't help.

Creates a constant road hazard by parking in the street on Jackson Avenue. Vehicles exiting Chili Avenue onto Jackson can't see them and don't expect cars to be parked in the middle of the street. I've witnessed several near miss collisions!! This business needs to get its parking act together, terrible for the neighborhood.

Vendors beware, refusing to pay for a service provided. Admirable field of work but dissapointing business practice.
