This dog was abandoned and found in a field with her sister when they were just 10 weeks old and Julie took them into her rescue and sprayed and vaccinated them and found forever homes for them. She is healthy and the best dog that I have ever had. I see Julie out at adoption events from time to time and she has always has amazing dogs and cats and does a great job. I totally recommend her rescue.

I think Gianna thinks she is a puppy. Or maybe it is the other way around. If you are looking to adopt, I highly recommend Royal Rescue. Julie has an amazing network of people who foster. That give homeless Mama's and their babies a chance. Gianna's Mom came in as a feral cat. And due to constant love and touch Gianna's foster Mom, Pam McDonald gave to these Mama and her babies changed the outlook of their lives forever. Gianna is the most loving kitten. When she isn't sleeping side by side with Kylo. She falls asleep on our chest and ends up on our neck. Wrapped around like a scarf. She of course came to us completely litter box trained. I apologize this review is so lengthy, but I have actually shortened it. Thank you again Julie and Pam!!! I know the work you do isn't easy and is very time consuming. But so very admirable. You are all a blessing. Love Always, Elaine Gennuso

My first experience was great.

I asked why it was posted on the website and she said "how should I know?" Well, guess what - when you list a pet on the website, that pet should be available. If that animal is not available don't post it or put any conditions down to describe why or what problems it might have. It's unfortunate that one person can be so incredibly rude and ruin the experience. I drove an hour and 10 minutes round-trip and I will never go back there.

Thankfully - there are other cat rescues around with much nicer people who make you feel welcomed and appreciated and let you get to pet the cats and see if they're a match.

At first I was a bit skeptical driving to the location, but upon arriving I was so surprised to see such a beautiful, modern, clean facility almost hidden away in north Sarasota. The staff were very kind and helpful and within two hours I was on my way home with my new furry little pal. Everything is taken care of from exam, spaying/neutering, microchipping, county license and even a bag of food that the pet is currently eating. If you are considering adopting a dog or cat, I highly recommend starting your search here.

The mission of Vintage Paws is ​"Saving senior dogs...four paws at a time by providing a sanctuary…read morefor displaced senior dogs to live out their lives with dignity surrounded by the loving care they deserve," and the team fulfills it beautifully. Jennifer and the volunteer board put it so much time to rescue, treat, care for, and find homes for these sweet senior dogs. I have volunteered a couple of times so far - walking/cuddling the dogs. There are loads of volunteer opportunities - delivering food to shut-ins with pets, driving the senior dogs to vet appointments, events, and much more. It is clear the folks here sincerely care for the wellbeing of these dogs. Kathy Wells is volunteer coordinator and she's fantastic - she's at the facility nearly every day! Great place to adopt or foster a doggo in the area. And if you're looking for a place to donate volunteer hours, I hope you consider Vintage Paws Sanctuary! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbQ6Czj_-H4&t=112s

Long story short - I was SO grateful to go to the shelter vet. Not only are the prices actually bearable - the Vet was AMAZING - smart - great bedside manner - forward thinking- etc. and all of the people I dealt with were wonderful too. Also might I add - her vet tech was also fabulous. These people are overworked and I am positive underpaid however their hearts are in the place I want my Vets heart to be. Thank you to them

I have adopted 5…read morecats from this facility and each of them has been the picture of health and well-adjusted personality. The veterinarian care from their on-staff shelter medical personnel is top-notch. Two of my adoptees had low grade heart murmurs as kittens and that information was disclosed and explained completely and in simple terminology. I felt fully informed and comfortable. Also, I was surprised by how many additional things the shelter provided for the cost of the adoption. For example, the cats were neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. All in all, my experiences have been pleasant, professional, and resulted in incredible life-long friendships. If you're stopping in for a visit, make sure to ask for a guided tour, some of the volunteers are incredibly knowledgeable with literally decades of experience as cat fosters, shelter volunteers, and even some retired veterinarians!

I have no issues with the adoption center (besides the fact that one cat I adopted from them had a…read moremajor ear infection and the other had skin cancer), the clinic in the back is the problem. The least of all of my issues: Every single time I came for my appointment I never waited less than 45 minutes, and once almost two hours. Our cats ear infection got worse after every visit, the head doctor was dismissive and rude, (I would dread having to talk to her, and was so pleased anytime she wasn't there) they didn't keep track of what medications our cat was on, even going as far as telling me I must have gotten one of the medications somewhere else (what??), when we would ask about past medications THEY had given to him, half the time they didn't have the name or any information in their chart, they once gave us unlabeled cream in a random jar and never told us what it was. They put my kitten under anesthesia without prior warning multiple times because they couldn't handle cleaning out his ears when he was a tiny baby, and they often forgot to call us to pick him up, and rarely followed up with his test results despite promising to do so. We once waited almost a month to hear back, that was the final straw, we were already seeing another vet by the time they got back to us. The "ear cleanings" were them ripping the scabs off of his ears, it was reopening the wounds, causing him major pain, and probably causing more infection. Our new vet pointed out that they were opened and aggravated after our last visit with the clinic, and they didn't understand why they would do that, let alone why they would do that to him multiple times, or why they had to use anesthesia. We were told multiple times that he is deaf, when he is not, he can hear the treat bag being opened from upstairs, and our new vet confirmed he can hear fine. During one of our last visits the head doctor accused us of not doing our part at home when we had the scratches and scars to prove that he was getting the many different medications he was prescribed daily. We were driving a 2hour round trip just to go to them and doing everything that was asked of us, but were treated unkindly and accusatorially when we asked why things weren't getting better. We dealt with this for almost three months, his ears never improved, only worsened in that time and I am positive he would still have major issues if we had kept going here. As soon as we switched vets his ear issue cleared up within two visits (3 weeks), the vet never felt the need to put him under, and worked with us to find the underlying issues so we could deal with the root of the problem. After dealing with this new vet for the last half year I am convinced the cat clinic did nothing to help and very likely made things worse. Our experience with this new vet has been so opposite of our experience with the Cat Depot Clinic that I feel obligated to warn people. Even though we are grateful for Cat Depot for the amazing cats we adopted from them, we cannot trust this place, nor can we recommend it. PS our other cat had a small tumor on his face that the head doctor refused to look into, saying it was impossible for him to have skin cancer and it was just a pimple. Our new vet immediately took a sample his first visit and it was skin cancer. He had to surgically remove it and now we know to check him regularly for any new bumps.
