Constantly changing inventory and styles for everyone. I'm a vintage enthusiast. I can shop here while my 14 year old and 6 year old also shop for themselves! Pricing is more than fair! I feel guilty sometimes and make donations. They often have $5 bag sales. If that's not enough, this store also serves as a community food bank while open. There is a deep freezer full of meat and other things. A table full of bread rolls and pastries. A section of dry pantry goods. People can come in and just help themselves to fill up a bag of food, no questions asked!!! This has become my #1 place to donate, shop and now, volunteer! The space is calming that I literally feel it's a meeting place as much as a shopping experience. If you been here before, there have been many changes....try it again!

The trails are pretty shady and there are areas that get hit by the sun. It's a nice mix for a hot day to get a little bit of shade, breeze and sun! I love the butterfly conservatory area that has many plants that attract them. You'll easily spot butterflies and moths and beautiful bees pollinating and doing their thing. Kid friendly and dogs love it too! Plenty of parking but best to carpool

I had a wonderful experience with Whiskers Pet Rescue in Southbury, CT…read more Marta and all the volunteers are incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and clearly dedicated to the cats' well-being. They helped us rescue three eight year old cats after their owner suddenly passed away. The rescues got complicated as the days passed but Whiskers stayed by our side through the very last rescue. They even helped with 2 outdoor cats the deceased owner had been feeding. I got to spend time in the Whiskers facility and noticed every cat is cared for with so much love, patience, and attention, and it really shows. The facility is clean, calm, and welcoming, and they take the time to match each cat with the right home. It's clear that this rescue goes above and beyond to give cats a second chance at a happy, healthy life. I'm so grateful for the amazing work they do and highly recommend supporting or adopting from Whiskers Pet Rescue in Southbury. Sincerely, Megan Lutz

As with any service organization, sometimes people are super happy and sometimes they are super…read moredisappointed, and I fall into the disappointed category. I fed a cat that started appearing near our house. At first, I thought it was feral, but after interacting with it, I suspected it was lost or abandoned and over time the cat allowed me to pet it and get close. With temperatures dropping below zero the last two weeks and unable to bring it inside due to having two cats already, I reached out to Whiskers desperate for help. I was asked to complete an application and a surrender form (it wasn't my animal to surrender),and was asked to send pictures and videos and at least one that proved I was interacting with the cat. Lots and lots and lots of hoops to jump through in order to keep an animal from freezing to death. While I understand the need for caution, I experienced unnecessary delays. Fortunately, another adoption agency visited my home, saw the cat themselves, and accepted it. They later sent me a video of the cat happily purring on its foster caregiver's lap. I am not a vindictive or mean-spirited person, but I do tell it like it is and this particular experience for me was very disappointing.

ReStore then called me back the next day to say they WOULD take them. By then I had spent $1,000 to have my contractor come back, rent a dumpster, and start dismantling them. If ReStore had told me from the beginning they would not take them, we could have used the dumpster already at the site. As it was, I stored the cabinets for a month waiting for ReStore, and the initial construction dumpster had been removed.
