I was looking to adopt a kitten so I showed up to their kitten fair, which had been advertised for…read moreweeks on their website. When I arrived the person at the front desk told me the kitten fair had been cancelled. I decided to take a look at the cats they had. They only had three cats available. The first two cats were older and didn't seem too social. The third cat I saw, Sammy, was very energetic and playful. Sammy was a 9 month old black cat that was apparently dropped off by his owner, alongside his siblings. I went to the front desk and asked about the adoption process, which was fairly simple and easy. I spent $115 to adopt him. I changed his name from Sammy to Pluto. Me and Pluto have been together for a month and I'm very happy that I adopted him, although he can be a handful at times. He's extremely curious and loves to cuddle in bed and watch tv with me.

We had a very disappointing experience at Pet Orphans of Southern California. 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.

Kinder 4 Care saved my dog Benjamin's life, and I'll always be grateful I took him there…read more Before coming here, I went to another emergency vet (Access in Woodland Hills) that took X-rays but completely failed to identify the actual issue. Meanwhile, they were charging me an unbelievable amount without even having a real plan or moving toward surgery. I left feeling stressed, confused, and terrified for my dog. The moment I arrived at Kinder 4 Care the next morning, they took X-rays and confidently knew exactly what was wrong and what needed to be done. Benjamin had swallowed a foreign object, and within about an hour of arriving, he was already in surgery. Their team acted quickly, knowledgeably, and decisively, which is exactly what you want in an emergency situation. The surgery to remove the foreign object was around $3,700 with the x-rays, which from my understanding is actually on the lower end for an emergency surgery like this. They kept Benjamin for two nights afterward, and every time I checked in, they were responsive and reassured me that he was doing great. I've seen reviews saying they can come across as rude, but honestly, when your dog's life is on the line, none of that matters. I wasn't there looking for luxury customer service -- I needed experienced professionals who knew exactly what to do and could save my dog. And that's exactly what they did. Benjamin is alive because of them. They were knowledgeable, efficient, and confident in a high-stress emergency, and I'm beyond thankful for the care they gave him.

Just like another poster said, the information on their website completely different from how they…read moreactually operate. I've been here from groceries before and I saw online that they offered rental assistance (I lost my job and still don't know how I'm gonna pay this month rent) So gathered all the documents that they listed were required, I printed out the form on the website, filled in out and gave it to my landlord to complete, got my bank statements and all my other documentation together. (the website just states to drop the documents off in person or mail them) So I called to see if I could come in to drop everything off and that's when I was told, I had to have been receiving other services from them for at least the last 6 months to qualify for rental assistance and also they were not accepting applications until September. SO WHY WAS NONE OF THAT ON THE WEBSITE? Why are there detailed instructions about how to apply and instruction to mail the application without the rest of the information? I EMBARRASSED myself by taking the form to my landlord and having him sigh it all to be told it was for nothing? It's ridiculous and actual insanity that they they don't give ALL the information online. It definitely makes me think they say one thing to get funding... and then tell the community something else. SHADY beyond belief.
