    I'm extremely disappointed with CatConnection more so with the owner Adrienne. I was inquiring about adoption a kitten or a bonded pair so she made me fill out an application. She then sent me an email (which had VERY demeaning undertones) about me capability of feeding a kitten on a schedule and questions about a vaccine I gave my cat. I guess I mistook the name of a vaccine for another and was quick to explain my fault. This wasn't enough for Adrienne. She continued to ask me very open ended questions with very biased opinions. I obviously kept my professionalism and Adrienne did not. Vaccine regulations are different from state to state. In the state of California, no vaccines are actually required but are strongly recommended. Where I originated, core and rabies vaccines were required annually. It is your responsibility as a pet parent to talk to your vet and learn what's best for your cat for where you live and your situation. Adrienne questioned my reasoning for giving my cat the rabies vaccine if he doesn't go outside. Knowing that rabies is 100% fatal to cats with no treatment available...as a good cat parent, I'd do anything preventative to protect my cats health. I'm not sure how cats get adopted and from reading the other reviews I'm not the only one who feels this way. With the way Adrienne's privilege and unprofessionalism prevents cats from going to living homes, I'm surprised this business is still running. It's also quite obvious that Adrienne can't take criticism or alternate opinions through her replies to the negative comments. Instead of responding to issues efficiently, she's quick to defend herself. I personally don't feel comfortable adopting from a place with such negative energy and I would strongly advise to adopt from somewhere that is warm, welcoming and treats their adopters and cats with respect.

    Quite simply, Rhea is lying, but I see from other reviews that she makes a habit of this…read more Our interactions until the phone call in which she basically interrogated me, were fine. Post that phone call, my feelings about the way she handled herself Changed, and I was wary of her. Despite her assertion that I had no idea what I was looking for, I told her precisely what I was looking for: a bonded pair of cats that were a little older, say two years old or older. I had just lost my cat and my dog. I had also just lost my husband. All this within four months. I found my house too quiet without the pets and my husband, and that is why I reached out to Rhae. I wanted something to care for, a bonded pair of cats seemed exactly what I needed, having had cats all of my life. I never bad mouthed other rescue organizations, other than mentioning the southern golden retriever organization from whom my husband and I adopted two fabulous golden retrievers. While the dogs were great, the organization was not. Unfortunately, I am in very good company as pertains to being dissatisfied with that group, and I only mentioned it to Rhae when she specifically asked me if I had worked with other organizations. The forum of yelp asks for reviews. They do not ask for only positive reviews, they asked for both negative and positive, and I have given both, so on that issue and only that issue, Rhae was correct. The vetting of my house was not done by Rhae, it was done by the other woman, and we had a delightful time. Rhae is clearly a bitter and unhappy human being who calls anyone slightly older than she "elderly. "Indeed, I have let my hair go salt and pepper since Covid. That does not make me elderly. Indeed, I shared with Rhae that I had a major back surgery the year before, which is why kittens were out of the question because I could not bend as often as they might need me to. That does not make me elderly. That makes me aware of the limitations of my body and reluctant to jeopardize my health. That also makes me someone who wants to completely fulfill the needs of whatever cats I adopt. Don't believe Rhae's gaslighting. It is as fake as she is.

    Rhae puts her heart, soul, and time into saving as many lives as possible…read more Every cat with the good fortune of ending up with her is given the opportunity to live a life full of comfort and love. She works relentlessly and selflessly to care for and find homes for the cats she rescues.

His last 7 years has been lived as the senior member of our canine family consisting of Teddy and three terrier females. They all loved Teddy and they kept him young at heart. Sadly today, Teddy crossed the Rainbow Bridge with the help of our vet, Dr. Pershing at the La Canada Pet Clinic.

We adopted a dog…read morethrough spcaLA and were referred there for his neuter procedure, which was required as part of the adoption agreement. The issues began at drop-off. I arrived on time at 8:30 a.m., but there was a long line of owners and dogs waiting outside. Many of the dogs appeared to be puppies, fosters, or newly adopted pets still adjusting and difficult to manage. I waited approximately 20 minutes while trying to control my 65-pound dog. When I reached the front, staff said they had no record of our appointment and asked, in an unprofessional manner, whether I had completed the intake form that was supposedly emailed to me. I had never received it. I was then handed paperwork to complete on-site while continuing to manage my dog in a crowded environment. On the form, I disclosed that my dog had been experiencing chronic diarrhea since being picked up as a stray, that we were actively working with our veterinarian to identify the cause, and that our veterinarian had cleared him for surgery. Staff then told me they would not proceed if he had diarrhea. I explained that this condition predated the adoption, that the neuter was required by the shelter, and that we had already obtained veterinary clearance. Staff repeatedly went back and forth between me and the veterinarian before eventually presenting a high-risk consent form. The communication around this was especially concerning. When the form was presented, I was told that by signing it, I was accepting that if anything happened to my dog, it would be my fault. I understand that additional risks can exist, but this was handled in a dismissive and inappropriate manner. If the clinic had sent the intake paperwork in advance or reviewed the medical concerns beforehand, this could have been addressed prior to my driving an hour from West Adams to Van Nuys with a dog who does not travel well. I was also disappointed that additional charges were presented for items such as an e-collar, pain medication, and IV fluids. For a required adoption procedure, these added costs felt excessive. Pick-up was similarly poor. When my dog was returned, a staff member commented, "Make sure to take care of the diarrhea because he still has it," despite our earlier detailed discussion of the condition and treatment plan. While loading him into the car, I noticed feces on his cone, tail, and legs. This suggested he had soiled himself and had not been adequately cleaned before discharge, which was both upsetting and concerning from a sanitation and post-operative care standpoint. Overall, this experience reflected poor communication, lack of professionalism, and inadequate attention to patient care. I would not return to Pet Orphans of Southern California and would not recommend this clinic to others. I also plan to share this experience with spcaLA so they are aware of the concerns regarding this referral partnership.

They are a rescue for dogs and specialize in caring for puppies without homes. They are a nonprofit so any and all help is appreciated to keep their facilities running. I was so happy to pay for a reasonably priced "puppy party" for my kids to enjoy that would also help animals in need. We opted to have an - In house puppy party event at their facility. If you know anyone looking to adopt a fur companion please consider this place. Finding the facility is a little difficult to find as there's no signage detailing where the business is, but the address is legible outside of it. There's metered parking in the front of the building. Be aware that most of the meters do not function which means, you can still park there anyway. Samantha was our host for our in house event today and she set up the play area and cleaned up any puppy "messes" rapidly along the way. She was very kind and supervised with so much care for my children and those adorable pups. The pups had lots of toys to choose from, water bowls and were just so lovely. If my place allowed animals - I'm sure we would have taken one home! My kids ENJOYED their time and fell in love with these 5 sweet and energetic puppies!!! Core memories were made and for my children this was everything they could hope for. As a mama seeing their faces and joy filled my heart. Today was a good day! Thank You Pups Without Borders!!!
