    I was really impressed with this thrift store! I like that for most items it's just a set price. For example men's pants form the regular rack were 3.99- I found my husband PGA tour slacks, Chaps Ralph Lauren, and Jos A Banks pants. They also had one of the better craft sections I've seen in tucson at any of the thrift stores. It's huge inside and well organized. There's almost too much to look at. The staff were friendly and constantly restocking.

    One of favorite go to thrift stores. Getting a little crowded, but you sometimes get to see fur babies for adoption. While I am more of a PACC person, I do support any animal org (and HSSA has had some serious issues) and we do love the variety of items. Lots of pet items, guaranteed. Because people love animals, they get a lot of merchandise. They have a boutique area in the back for more top of the line items, next to furniture. Also they have an antique area to the right. In the middle right is the kennels for adoptable friends. Some of the middle of the store is getting cluttered, they need to take some time to clean up and reduce, but never know what you will find. Discounts for Vets, Senior and others, check the boards. Good place to visit and support local.

    They have several cute mirrors around the store.

    This was my favorite thrift store for years until they closed their fitting rooms. I cannot buy clothes if I cannot try them on.

    Leaving a review of my experience based on the low ratings…read more If you know you are a responsible pet owner and will will provide a loving, safe forever home for a kitten/cat then definitely don't read the negative reviews. I looked online prior to coming in. It is recommended that you fill out an adoption application prior to coming in so you'll be pre-approved which makes getting the cat of your choice more likely. It isn't required though, you can pop in anytime they are open to see and meet the cats available for adoption. I'm glad Holly has pissed some people off! When I was there there were a couple of groups of people that came in with kids/teens who didn't respect the cat's boundaries. I saw a boy trying to play with a cat by batting at it when the cat had already popped him and it's ears were lying flat back on it's head. There was zero awareness from the boy (mid teens) that this cat did not want to play with him, he was just terrorizing it. The cats roam freely through the facility, some like attention others want you to leave them the fuck alone. Take a hint when it's given and you'll be fine. From my experience and based on the questionnaire for adoption Hermitage is just trying to get these cats into reliable, loving, stable homes. When I dropped in yesterday I had no expectations that I'd actually be able to bring a kitty home. Whatever hoops they require a person to jump though is in the best interest of the kitties. You are not entitled to whatever cat you want whenever you want it just because it's in a shelter! I am so grateful Holly let me adopt my sweet boy yesterday but I would've completely understood if I had to wait and potentially miss out on getting him. I showed up at 4 pm just planning to look but prepared in case I found "the one". When I knew I found the one I went back out to the lobby and filled out the adoption application on my phone. Once submitted I asked how long the approval process takes. Holly said it varies and recent background checks through my employment might have sped that up. I asked if I'd be able to take him home that day or would it be Tuesday when they reopen, if approved. Holly told me it depended on whether the people there before me were adopting and how many. This was because the cats have to get a checkup before leaving and there's paperwork to be filled out. The shelter closes at 5 pm on Saturdays. Completely reasonable!! So I just hung out and played with cats until I knew for sure. Luckily there was only one adoption in front of me so Holly had time to work me in. This place is wonderful and I am so so glad I wasn't dissuaded by the mediocre yelp score. There are some very petty people and they really mess up the reliability of yelp. This is definitely a place worth supporting!! Kitten tax: see pic

    Please do not support puppy mills. This "business" sells over 50 "breeds" - many of which are…read moredesigner mixes. "Hypoallergenic breeds" are just mixed breed poodle mixes. When breeding F1 puppies - the puppy gets one set of genes from each parent and the outcome can vary widely in a single litter in coat type, size and temperament. She is selling Merle Havapoos - neither Havanese or Poodle naturally carry the merle gene. They will try to say it's a recessive gene - it's not. Merle is introduced from another breed that naturally carries a Merle gene. When breeding for color, breeders will breed double Merle dogs which lead to health issues. Selling these mix breed dogs for $3,000 is crazy. This is how much I paid from an ethical purebred breeder who health tests all her dogs through OFA (which is the standard of health testing - and saying they are health tested by genetic testing or at the vet or through embark alone are sales tactics), offers free holter monitor testing for all her puppy buyers when puppies reach adulthood, embarks her puppies free of charge. Her dogs are proven through conformation titles and sport titles. I can meet the parents of my dogs (and have). I can look at our breed registry and track my dogs lineage. Most importantly my dogs didn't come from a mill. This business brags that she gets her puppies from "trusted USDA-licensed breeders" which simply means she's sourcing puppies from breeders who sell puppies site unseen, sell puppies to pet stores and who have a large quantity of breeding females. USDA standards are minimum care standards, not quality standards. They can have dozens or hundreds of dogs, breed frequently and keep dogs in kennel buildings and still pass USDA inspection. Many puppy mills are USDA licensed. Ethical breeders do not sell their puppies to pet stores. They want to vet their potential puppy buyers and make sure their dogs are going to homes that are a good fit. No ethical breeders breed doodles. It goes against the breed club for Poodles. No good breeder would allow their high quality poodle stock or the breed being mixed in, to make doodle mixes. This means that these parent dogs are being sourced from unethical breeders as well and it's poor breeding stock being used. Then, OFA health testing is not being done on these dogs. So people are mixing a lot of unknown genetics in for profit. They are not breeding with structure, health and temperament in mind. Ask about OFA health testing on both parents - they should be able to provide results on the OFA website from both parents. OFA has different tests for different breeds - please research what each breed should be tested for and request to see those results. Doodles should have tests for both breeds. Ask about registration - all dogs should be AKC registered if they are a purebred dog. Doodle registration is meaningless and anything other than UKC or AKC registration is a sales tactic. AKC registration alone does not equal quality. It just verifies pedigree eligibility. I would not consider a purebred dog that could not be registered through AKC, but just because they are AKC registered does not mean they are ethically produced. There are "designer registries" like: Continental Kennel Club (CKC -- not the Canadian one), American Canine Hybrid Club, Various doodle association. These registries do not enforce strict breeding standards, do not require meaningful health testing and mainly exist to create paperwork for marketing. Ask to meet the mother of the puppy you're interested in. Ask about tittles on the parents of the dogs that were bred. Ask about how many litters the mom has had.

I called and left a message explaining that she was a particular kind of kitty and best suited in a home where she was the only pet. A man called me back, he didn't even bother to ask me any questions. he was clearly exasperated, in fact, he sounded almost insulted that I had even bothered to call them for help in the first place. He told me that they can't take a cat who can't be around other cats. Well, she's dead now. She got sick, so I could not, in good conscience, get rid of her, or send her to a shelter. So, I worked with her, until she could go no further. Hyperthyroidism was the disease and she did not respond well to the medication. In the end, we had to make the agonizing end of life decision for her and we let her go. Of course, she would have gotten sick, regardless of whether the shelter stepped up to help, or not, but I am still posting this because it is abundantly clear that they do not want to have to go above and beyond for the cats. They just want it to make pretend that they do.

I did not see him wash his hands after the encounter, and then other people saw him doing it and they started petting cats. Not a good example!!! Why aren't the volunteers going around helping spread information and helping. The staff is horrible. No one has incentive doesn't seem to care. The older male volunteer got confrontational and agitated. Maybe because he knew he was breaking the rules under the guise of being a volunteer. Showing poor behavior to other visitors.smh It was so unprofessional, but it's Pima county run. Seems like they need less volunteers clogging up the space and more people doing things. There is no reason it has to be so disorganized. We've been to the cat kennel multiple times over the years and it's always the same. A group of "volunteers" and employees congregated doing nothing. SMH We never decide to adopt there as it's so disorganized and unprofessional. Maybe one or two of the people work there (in blue?) but they are worthless. THE WORST SHELTER I HAVE EVER BEEN TOO. It's the people not necessarily the conditions (for cats) Follow up- went to the southern Tucson, Humane Society and it was a much better experience. Professional and organized. We ran into another woman who had just left Pima as well and said the same thing as I did above.
