2 stars because we made it out of the place about 7 years ago with a cat…read more That's about the only positive thing I can say about Valley Cats...at least at the time. When your only competition is literally FREE cats on the side of the road, you need to think long and hard about how difficult you're making it for clients to adopt. As soon as we walked in, what can only be described as a "matriarch" asked us "Are you guys 18?" (we were in our mid to early 30's at the time). After that, we were bombarded with really obnoxious questions about our living situation and--I kid you not-- "What would you do if you got a divorce?" (as if that was ANY of Valley Cat's business...). Oh my gosh, the PAPERWORK. We were given several multicolored "how to take care of cats" "resources" that look like they were hosted by an holistic medicine guru's clinic. It was wild. I'm pretty sure the leader was anti-vax...which is interesting since you're grouping HERDS of cats together in close quarters. Then they try to pressure you to sign unenforceable agreements a la "You agree to send this cat back to us if things don't work out" (Ahem, good luck with that.), "You're part of the Valley Cats Family!! We'll schedule some visits to see how things are working out" (HECK no you won't.) Finally, one of the least enjoyable experiences was the HOME VISIT. See my point above: you have literally DOZENS of places in the area that would be happy to adopt out a cat, sight-unseen. You require The Matriarch to tour our house to see if we would be good cat parents (hint: we literally already have a cat from Los Angeles...which we got from the LITERAL STREETS FOR FREE and has been living a luxurious life for about a decade now)... Do better. Drop the home visit requirement, stop spamming your clients with obnoxious paperwork that they can literally Google themselves, stop with the probing questions and drop the fake unenforceable paperwork. Your job is to ensure pets are sent to safe, secure homes...not treat your clients like they don't have half a brain to take care of one of the most widely-available animals in the nation...

I do not recommend adoption from this facility…read more I fell in love with and took home a kitty that I wound up paying over $1,000 in vet bills on within the first month. Turns out the kitty had a broken pelvis that did not heal correctly. When I talked to the lady who runs the facility she admitted knowing about the health condition. It was never disclosed to me. When I returned the cat, the lady who runs the facility had gathered all her employees around her in a show of intimidation. I should have sued them as I was out the $1,000. I told her she should not let this cat go again without full disclosure. Please consider avoiding this facility or at least ask if there are any health conditions you should be aware of before taking your forever cat home.

They are great! I have boarded with Kittyland a couple of times since I've been in Ventura. I try…read moreto avoid boarding in general because my furballs have always been homebodies but occasionally it is unavoidable. The deluxe condos are multilevel and divided so kitty has separate eating, sleeping, and necessary areas. The room my cats have stayed in has huge windows on to lovely and thoughtful landscaping. The cottages and suites are very spacious with lots of room to play and interesting things to do. The owner is very nice, and takes the time to show you around and allow you to help get your cat comfortable. She listens to care instructions and is patient with you and your fluffy little monster. I brought a sheet, her (my cat, not the owner) favorite toys, a piece of clothing with my smell on it, and her food (3 kinds), and some treats, along with her probiotic powder. Kittyland handled it all. You can put in your feeding and any medication instructions online when you book, and then go over everything when you get there. She is also flexible with pick-up times (within the pick-up and drop-off windows). They even do daycare, though it didn't give her much time to settle down the time we had to send her while they were reglazing our tub with toxic fume-generating chemicals. When I think spa: Maybe some aromatherapy? Enya on the sound system? Cucumber eye mask and a rub down with a hot towel fresh from the dryer?
