We were on the hunt for another Siamese cat, but they are not the easiest breed to come by. I found an ad on pet-finder that led me straight to Home Fur Good. I called in as soon as they opened to see if the beautiful kitten was still available and although I was hoping to meet him that same day, they were not able to accommodate me until the next morning- which was fine by me. When we arrived, we were greeted by the friendly staff, got to take a look around the rescue and see some of their other pets. Everyone was clearly passionate about what they do, which was a great sight to see. The animals appeared to be well taken care of. We fell in love with the kitten we came down to meet and decided to adopt him! The process was quick and easy.& their adoption fee was reasonable as it included all shots, neuter and microchip service- all of which were already taken care of! We are so in love with our new baby and want to say THANKS AGAIN to home fur good for matching us with the perfect kitty

My fiancé had a ranch about 20 years ago and used to go to Pratt's all the time to buy animals for his ranch and sell his babies to Pratt's. There was a good old time family vibe then. They educated people about the animals they purchased and were very helpful. Now, my fiancé and I have a ranch together and we were starting from scratch. We went to Pratt's to get the same camaraderie and care that he had from Pratt's in the past. But we had found out the hard way that it is absolutely nothing like it used to be! Their animals are always sick and stressed and in bad living conditions. All of the chickens we have purchased from there were sick with a very contagious virus. They have respiratory distress and very lethargic and their eyes swell up and fill with puss. We gave them antibiotics but that did not help them. Every single chicken we bought from there had died. And the worst part is it spreads to the rest of our flock. Once the flock is infected you cannot get rid of it. U literally have to start fresh with healthy chickens. My fiancé had told Oscar the manager about this issue. At first he was understanding and willing to replace the chickens. Once we sent him pictures of the birds that perished he changed his tone and said "Why are you the only ones with birds dying?" We have stopped buying chickens from there but have continued to buy feed from there. We can't help but to go and look at all the animals and unfortunately they are always in poor living conditions and clearly very sick and even dead birds in the cages. The staff they have there at this point are very unhelpful and uneducated about the product they sell and uneducated about the animals they sell! We ask them a question about an animal and they look at us like we have a third eye growing out of our heads! They walk away without answering our questions or even getting our feed for us. We are out so much money from what we have bought from there and all the loss we have had from the sick chickens infecting the rest of our flock and they died. We had bought a female goat that was supposedly pregnant and they just wanted to get rid of her before she gave birth... well she wasn't pregnant. Then We had bought another female goat from them against our better judgment because she looked miserable and we wanted a companion for our first goat but She was "Not for sale" due to being sick... We said we want her to give her a fighting chance. She coughs and sneezes and has discharge from her lady parts. Pratt's just does not care about the health and well being of their animals! We will never purchase any animals from them again!! It's such a shame that these animals have to suffer!!

The following year, I contacted them again about adopting another kitten, but my message was left unanswered. In July 2023, Oddi was diagnosed with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy when she went in for a nasal rhinoplasty to open up her narrow airways. Two weeks later, Oddi passed away when the doctors were waiting for her to wake up from anesthesia after her suture removal. Her heart stopped, and she fell into seizures and a coma after she was resuscitated. I reached out to them again to let them know what happened. Sadly, they did not respond. I am disappointed with them. It seems they were only responsive when they wanted me to purchase a kitten from them in 2020. It seems the website is down and social media has not been updated for a few years. In my experience, a responsible breeder offers support and stays in contact for life. This is not the case with the folks at Phoenix Persians. I spoke with some Persian breeders recently, and she confirmed this is not ethical behavior on their part.

They went above and beyond for us. LOH and their volunteer foster families honored my request to visit Praise every other weekend and even allowed me to bathe him at their facility because he's so sensitive about being groomed since he is very tiny and has very sensitive skin. Those small acts of kindness made an enormous difference for my and Praise's well-being. When I finally reached a place of stability, I was able to bring Praise home -- bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, full of joy, and with lots of toys and kibble -- and together we moved into our new home to continue our healing journey. I can't wait to give back to LOH and volunteer my time to support others who are facing the same struggles I went through. They've welcomed both me and Praise to volunteer.
