A friend and I ventured over last week, excited to find a pet store in the area. After visiting however, I'm torn between telling everyone to go and rescue the animals there and warning anyone & everyone to stay far, far away from this place. The last thing I wanna do is see them gain business, but the animals there -desperately- need rescuing.
The place is dark, dingy, cramped & cluttered, w/too-small cages stacked on top of each other and everything from the facilities to the cages themselves in need of major upkeep, care & maintenance. I felt like I was going into a 3rd world black market animal seller (for food or for Heaven knows what I don't know..) when I walked in, and you can feel the desperation & despair of the animals, being forced to live in those bleary, squalid conditions. It was clear the critters themselves weren't getting the attention & care they needed, and the space itself was just.. extremely unsavory. I'm not against pet stores in general, so please don't mistake me for someone who'd review any pet store thusly.. but I do love animals, and that place just made me want to cry.
After leaving "Classy Critters," I wish I could take every pet they had home with me; from the cockatoo to the tarantulas, right down to the ferrets & fish.. just so they wouldn't have to live there. :(((
Sooo very, very NOT good... read more
