Although, the house and rooms are clean, they appeared to be very cluttered. I will say that I never smelled cat urine while dropping off or picking up our cat. Day 1 drop off our 2 year old kitty, Day 2 text message saying the cat is doing well. Day 3 text stating cat is using litter box, but only "picking at her food." Day 4 no texts all day - that at approximately 7:10 p.m. we get a text stating cat has not eaten all day and Sheryl wants to take our cat the the ER. We ask if our cat has vomited, has diarrhea, or is lethargic, to which we are told "no." But Sheryl insists "that she knows the signs and our cat's kidneys could shut down and she couldn't have a cat dying on her." We know how picky our little princess can be and tried to explain, we asked if we could wait until morning and if our cat was still not eating if she could be taken to a Veterinarian - Sheryl told us it "was our call." So when we said we'd like her to wait 'til morning and see how our cat was doing - Sheryl told us that on the contract we signed when boarding our cat there was a "section on the back" that stated she would take an animal to a Vet, or ER if SHE felt it was necessary. So, what were we to do? Not an hour later we found ourselves paying the Animal ER $176.00 via credit card over the phone, as they discharged our cat with an appetite stimulant. The Vet we spoke with didn't seem all that concerned, but explained if the appetite stimulant did not work, and the cat was brought back they would do blood work, and x-rays. After paying $176.00 to calm Sheryl's anxiety, we were worried that she would take our cat back to the ER (again for no real reason) and we would incur further (and a more extensive bill) for our picky kitty - so we cut our vacation short by 3 days, drove through the night, slept a few hours, and picked up our cat promptly. I cannot endorse this Shery's Kitty B&B! She panicked over nothing, (cat was drinking, using litter box, and "picking" at food. It was her 1st time being boarded, and she was quite lonely.) Sheryl would not have a conversation with us - just kept saying "I know the signs," and then went directly against our wishes and took our cat to the ER at our expense! What were we to do, she had us over a barrel! (BTW, spoke with 4 long time cat owners who all say not eating, or picking is not unusual when a cat is removed from their environment, or their owner is not present.) I will NEVER USE THIS BOARDER, OR HER SERVICES AGAIN! GLAD SHE TOLD US SHE IS NOT TAKING ANY NEW CLIENTS - TIME TO RETIRE! (P.S. - I am happy to report that kitty walked into our/her home and jumped right up to her feeding dish. She was purring up a storm for 3 days, is eating just fine, and is as healthy as ever.) read more
