This place is top notch, and I recommend it to anyone with an animal. The staff are all friendly,…read moreunderstanding and compassionate. The veterinarians are very thorough in their exams, clear in their explanations, patient with patients' questions, and overall seem truly to care about the animals they see. There is no drama, no talking you into unnecessary treatments. Their prices are average for the area, and they really try to work a treatment plan to accommodate limited finances. They used to offer payment plans, but the majority of people on them took advantage of it, so that had to end. They understand most people are having a difficult time because of the economy, but they have expenses, too. I know my animals will get great care here, and I am grateful to have found them after some absolutely terrible experiences elsewhere (see my other reviews).

I took my sick 4 week old kitten here to get her treated for an upper respiratory infection and…read moreswollen shut eyes. The vet we saw, I won't name anyone, said she would give her a dewormer and clean her eyes off for us. She took her in the back since the faucet in the room didn't get warm enough, and before she took her back she told me she would give her a dewormer and clean her off. I said that was fine since I was trusting. Fast forward a couple days after the appointment. We look over the invoice again and the dewormer was not on the invoice. So we called and asked if they could tell us if they gave a dewormer to her. They told us they had to check, she then came back and said that there were no notes of a dewormer shot. It doesn't seem like a huge deal in the moment. Especially since they gave us antibiotics for her infection. But with a young kitten like ours, she is in a very vulnerable state and not deworming her could kill her. You could imagine my frustration when the vet also told me she would do it, and I didn't even have to ask for one. Thankfully we are being seen at our primary vet on Monday, and receive the proper care.

Where do I begin to say how over the top impressed I am with this organization, the property, and…read morethe people that work/volunteer here? Growing up in the area I was always a supporter of the wonderful things this place does for animals, but I never truly appreciated the extent until I took a tour recently. I have worked in the Veterinary field for close to 20yrs in different cities and states, and never come across anything like SFC. We called ahead to see if they had time to give us a tour and they called back with a time to come. We arrived and a volunteer was promptly radioed to start our tour. The main building is quite the sight, they have many different cat rooms depending on their ailment and temperaments. Each room has many different beds, trees, toys, etc and they all have the option to be indoors or in a nice outdoor area with a view. So many of the cats have issues or need daily medicine and I cant believe all the time and money they put into these kitties. Some of them are adoptable, just ask and on the outside of each room there are pictures and description of the residents. Not only does the main building have cats, but there are turtles, birds, and some bunnies as well. The next part of our tour took us out to the barn where we met Donkeys, Ducks, geese, horses, and more. The barn manager was the nicest person and he went into so much detail about each animal and their story. He really took a lot of time with us. I cant believe all the specialized veterinary care they give these special animals, it must cost them a fortune, which is why it is so important the donations they receive. They just completed some improvements to that particular barn to make it better prepared for winter. They do what they can when they can and these animals are so lucky to be here. If you live in the area I am sure you have heard of SFC like I had and I strongly encourage you in one way or another at some point to come by for a tour or to one of their open house events to really see what is going on here. It is amazing. They can always use donations or volunteers, whatever way you can help the special mission this place is carrying out!

Aquatics and Exotics is a wonderful little local fist store that is run by a sweet man who cares…read moreabout his fish and his kitties, who live in the shop. PLEASE NOTE: This shop is in NEW YORK, and it has nothing to do with the Aquatics and Exotics in Roanoke, Virginia where that awful assault of that woman happened. It is not affiliated with them in any way, shape, or form. Aquatics and Exotics is a name that both businesses just happened to choose, but they are not a franchise. THIS IS NOT THE RACIST PLACE. It makes me so sad to see someone who did nothing wrong get attacked for something that a stranger in another state did. OK! Now that that mess is out of the way, this little shop has what you need. So many beautiful driftwood and fancy stone options for hardscaping your aquascape. Do you want black and white stripey stones? You can find that here! Dragonstone for dramatic spires and cliffs? Yep! Cool aquamarine colored greenstone? Yeah, they have that, too! Do you like plants for your tank? Well, he grows his plants himself! Submerged, so they won't be nearly as likely to "melt" as the plants you mail order from big plant businesses that mostly grow their plans emersed (roots in water, leaves in the air) tend to. Leaves that grow in the air are not the same as leaves that grow underwater for aquatic plants, so if you buy a plant that has been grown out of water, it's gonna drop all those leaves and try to grow new ones, instead. I got some lovely plants here, and none of them died at all. They're also acclimated to the water we have around here, as are the fish! You WILL get snails if you don't treat the plants you get from here, but that really isn't a bad thing. The snails will eat algae and biofilm. They'll happily slide around like the little janitors they are. We got a brown ramshorn snail, and a grey one, as well as some bladder snails, in with our plants, and everyone in my household spends a bit of time each day trying to find the ramshorns. The fish are all quarantined before being put in to the main tanks. This is vital, and not something that happens at most big box pet stores. The fish you get here are much more likely to be healthy and stay healthy. They are far less likely to get your existing fish sick. It's a small shop, but he carries a nice variety of fish, snails, and shrimp. Do you have a favorite color? He probably has shrimp that come in that color. Do you love rainbow fish? He carries some really lovely ones. My tank is too small for them- they are schooling fish that can get to be 4 inches long- but if I had a bigger tank, I'd for sure get some from here. Mystery snails are excellent tank cleaners, and quite pretty. Lots of seachem and API products here, as well as high quality LED lights, nice filters, substrate, gravel, ETC. If you are an aquarium nerd, you can get your aquarium nerd on here, like I do. I drive over 40 minutes to go here instead of the closer big box pet stores. It is worth the drive!
