I adopted two kittens from this organization a while back, and everything went wonderfully smooth, at first. I love my two kitties with all my heart, they were my first babies, before I met my husband! After I paid, had my cats for a while, had their microchips placed in my name, and they got all settled in, I received a text from the woman who oversaw my cats adoption stating they never received payment. Mind you, the adoption fee is the posted amount per cat but x2 for cats they say are a "bonded pair". I don't regret getting both my cats whatsoever, especially since they're siblings and love eachother dearly, but I wish they told you this before so that you could decide if you wanted to spend $800 as opposed to the original $400, or however much you budgeted in for adoption totals. However, I sent the full amount and was confused. The lady replied when I told her I sent the money with saying I can just call my bank and cancel the amount sent and they "are the ones who will return the money to me, but they're going to need another payment of the full amount sent immediately or else they're going to need the cats back". This sat wrong with me solely because what self respecting cat rescue place would pull two kittens OUT of a loving, caring home, unless their only and pivotal desire was one of financial gain? None. And to threaten that so quickly over what was (at that time) just a misunderstanding? I find that not only selfish, but also rash, greedy, rude, and quite honestly despicable for anyone who takes on the title of "rescue" or "sanctuary". If you're in the business of selling cats as opposed to animal welfare, just say that. Anywhom, I sent an ADDITIONAL amount this time and less than a day or two later, received another text but this time with both the ladies who were overseeing the adoption. And there was no manners (or adult/professional) behavior present in these texts. They started accusing me of being a "scammer", a "con artist", and using words and slurs that I would be embarrassed to EVER say to someone. I sent them the picture of my receipt displaying the amount sent, which had their information as the recipient and the amount paid all pictured. Then I blocked them. I never received the money back from the original payment, which means I they scammed me for 4x the amount I was originally told I had to pay for just the adoption. And lastly, months later, I was contacted by my BOSS saying that THEY were sent a letter stating that I owed them money. Not only is that a blatant lie, it is also pure insanity, delusional, and I assume considered illegal under definitions of harassment and extortion! The letter threatened to sue, and I was hoping to god they did. Because I would have loved to get to present all the evidence of just how "mean girls" run this organization in front of a court and have it all backfire on them so that I have grounds for a counter suit claiming defamation, harassment, extortion, and every other grounds of dishonest practice that a business could take part in (and get caught doing when their greed and ego clouds their profit driven vision..because they aren't mentally developed enough to spot the risks that come from that beforehand). But unfortunately, they never sued. I assume they knew they were in the wrong and knew it would backfire, so they chickened out. Either way, I love my babies, which is the only reason they get one star. Other than that, I would've been a lot less graceful with my words chosen here. And I would've ensured I saw my day against them in court as well. read more
