I adopted a kitten from Cat's Cradle who was having difficulty finding herself a home, due to not…read moregetting along with other cats around her. The process was fast and easy, with absolute care taken by the staff in ensuring as best they could this kitten was going to a safe home. My kitten and I were sent home with a wealth of instructions on how to acclimate her to her new home environment and a bunch of goodies for her to play with, a stylish collar and a custom made kitty blanket from one of the volunteers, all placed in one of those reusable fabric grocery-type bags, which quickly became one of her favorite toys to this day!

I honestly wasn't even planning to adopt yet, but then I met Yupi and... yeah. That was pretty much…read morethe end of that. There was an instant connection, and I knew I couldn't leave without her. Jennifer was amazing throughout the whole experience, and it's so clear that she and her volunteers genuinely love these animals and care about making sure they find loving, forever homes. The lounge itself is clean and spacious, with a setup that helps shy and timid cats socialize and get comfortable around people. It's an all-volunteer, nonprofit cat lounge and adoption center in Midtown Ventura, and donations are welcome. A few helpful things to know: you'll need to make a reservation online for a 45-minute lounge visit, with up to 4 people allowed at a time. The $12 per-person fee is super easy to pay online and can be applied as a credit toward your adoption fee if you decide to adopt. They're closed Monday, Tuesday + Thursday, so plan accordingly! Would absolutely recommend Cassie's Cats. You don't have to be ready to adopt to visit, social visits are welcome.

Best breeder and puppy ever!!! I can't say enough wonderful things about Kitty and my new best…read morefriend, Maple, from Sweet Time Labradoodles. I did a ton of research on the breed and talked to a few different breeders. Kitty is extremely knowledgable, very responsive and truly loves all of her dogs and puppies. When we decided that my family would make a good guardian home, she visited us to see where the puppy would live. She is a certified dog trainer and really enjoys helping owners raise respectful, well mannered puppies. My puppy is a dream! She's such a sweetheart. Very smart, extremely loving and has just the right amount of energy. She loves to be with me and play, but will also sit and chew her bone or toys on her own. She is great with my kids and every person and dog she meets. Her favorite playmate is my cat and he adores her as much as I do. :) Thank you Kitty for our precious girl!

I'm disappointed the Paws Work's would let sick animals be adopted. AndI believe the staff at Pet…read moreSmart the fed them and cleaned their litter box would have heard them sneeze and cough. On 12/17/23 we adopted 2 orange tabby kittens from Paw Works in side Pet Smart. As we were putting them in the crate 1 sneezed. By the time we got home they sneezed 4 or 5 times. I told my son to make a vet appointment as soon as possible. I thought they had Upper respiratory infections. He took them on Tuesday 12/19/23 and they were both put on antibiotics. Then Saturday 12/23/23 the smaller of the 2 not showing much improvement ( now having watering eye and wheezing) with our local vet out of town we took him to the emergency vet. Where he received a bit more medication. I guess they are lucky we have them . Instead of being sick and ignored in a small glass box . We love our new babies.

I know that another Animal Rescue does this type of thing (selling donated items to raise money for the animals) but I've never seen it inside the mall. Th clothing/items for resale were nice (more than just the Goodwill) and there were several cats hoping for adoption near the front windows. I inquired about them (because cats) and while it's not an ideal situation, it's better than them being on the streets. They are looking for volunteers to help work with the animals, so what an amazing way to give back. I plan to be back again because I fully support this cause and hope others can support them, too.

Shame on every single one of you for running a smear campaign against VCAS for protecting public…read moresafety. The words and actions of your team are despicable- Bruce was a danger to the public and his foster was clearly incapable of handling him. Your spokesperson, Dan Bolton, said the following: "Obviously, we're not denying the bites, and we're not denying the harm that might have been caused by or was caused -- but the larger issue is, do we just kill an animal based on things that happened a long time ago? Or do we take into consideration the totality of their behavior, and more importantly, do we try to find a life-saving alternative?" Why were these alternatives not sought out after the first bite? Why did it happen three additional times? VCAS may have euthanized him, but SPARC's negligence in handling him is what killed him. Shame on this rescue. Shame on the higher ups. And shame on Dan Bolton for going on the news to blame VCAS for his rescues negligence. Absolutely despicable.

I was really hopeful on finding some kittens for my kiddos but the lady that shows you the kittens seems to not want anyone to adopt . She asks what we're looking for so I respond , short haired to avoid too much shedding. I did my research before coming in so I know there's breeds that fall in that category. Her response to us was that all cats shed (with an attitude and shrugs) . That was last month when I came in with my kids. We received the same response when we came in today . Brought my nieces with me to see if there were any kittens we liked. The same woman helped us today. I guess she's the one assigned to show the cats here . She's the older woman with glasses and pink hair .

I am absolutely, unequivocally obsessed with cats. Frankly, I worship them more than the Egyptians…read moredid and I am quite sure they are Gods. In fact, I am throwing my cat a 5th birthday party literally at the time of this review (she gets a party every year!) and she is laying near me as I type these words waxing her kind, poetic. This means that any place that involves cats is a place I want to be; and thus: cat cafes is a trend I stand behind. A place to hang out with cats AND promote adoptions of said cats on premises? Yes, please! These cafes are growing in popularity and one of note is Purrmaid Cat Café, located in Camarillo a stone's throw from the famous Camarillo Outlets (on the way from Los Angeles to the outlets at the exit prior). Typically, not much positive can be said of social media platform, Facebook but just this once: I can thank them. My cat-loving algorithm is what introduced me to Purrmaid as I proceed to 'follow' the business and engage with the owner on her posts. I immediately knew there was something different about Purrmaid from their competitors and that I would someday need to visit. Purrmaid is the love project of husband-and-wife team Robin (who goes by Cat) and Jeff Kent who were locally known as animal advocates and top-of-the-line pet foster parents. Having dreams of opening an animal sanctuary; the universe opened the door for them as their friend Nikki, OG owner of Purrmaid was giving up the reigns and Robin and Jeff knew this was their time to shine and took over. The rest is history. Located in a busy but quiet strip plaza shopping center; Purrmaid is super welcoming the second you cross their threshold. The small lobby area is colorful, smells amazing and is filled with cat merch for sale from local artists. Refreshments (soda, coffee, water) and Robin's very own homemade baked goods are available for a small sum (and adorably, Purrmaid posts on their socials as though the cats pick the deserts for the day/week!). You must try these desserts! The selections during my visit were chocolate chip cookies and brownies and although these may sound basic - my boyfriend and I were obsessed! The cookies were chewy and soft with browned butter caramelization flavor. So good! Purrmaid isn't your typical cat café and is so much better. After signing a release and paying the $6/person fee (must be at least 7 years of age and children must be accompanied by an adult); you enter the cat room which eschews the standard clinical feel of cat cafes and is instead set-up like a living room which carpeting, couches, arm chairs plus cat towers, shelves and toys galore. Purrmaid is spotless (which my OCD approves) and has a calming, quiet, Zen energy. At Purrmaid, you will feel like you are simply hanging with Robin and her beautiful feline Gods in her living room! Robin and Jeff also have the best interest of the kitties in mind as the cats have access to a cat door to a back room they can 'escape' to when they don't feel like being around guests. Or, they can live out their wild cat fantasies watching bird TV. This is truly a Grade-A cat café. Even the bathroom was spotless and decorated with cats down to the hand towels! As amazing and obsessed with cats Purrmaid is; their mission is to find the cats a forever home and they take this very seriously with a $150 fee, application and home visit and adoption contract. Robin is not playing around when finding the perfect home for these cats whom often come from prior traumatic situations. Want to hold an event or birthday party at Purrmaid? Or attend one of their events like tarot card readings? Yup, they do that too! Purrmaid is an amazing facility! Purrmaid is a purr-fect cat café and Robin and Jeff are simply wonderful individuals running an amazing business. If you are even mildly obsessed with cats - or looking to adopt - you must visit Purrmaid Wed- Sundays 11am-5pm. Heck, you may even see me because I already want to return!
