Update: Aside from the kitten that I lost because of the negligence of the doctor. I have another…read morekitten, who is thankfully, still healthy. However, the doctor is now refusing to fill a prescription for flea medication because it "puts His license on the line." He's concerned with his license over flea medication, but was not concerned with it when he was negligent and sent us home with a sick kitten twice. It's one thing to be negligent, it's another to call a grieving pet parent and accuse them of misinformation. On 3/10, we took my kitten who was losing weight, was so thin you could feel all of his bones, was lethargic and had discharge from his eyes. We were told that it was not an upper respiratory infection and that his lungs sounded clear. We were given eyedrops to clear the discharge and told to return in a week if he did not improve. I had previously scheduled an appointment on 3/17 to get Chili and his littermate vaccinated so I took them in. I verbally told the VetTech that Chili had not improved and I was concerned that it was now two weeks and he was low energy, wasn't using the litterbox, and had not gained weight. She came back and told me that the doctor was not concerned and that Chili was just going to be a small cat. A week later I made an appointment at a different vet to get another opinion. Within seconds of seeing Chili they advised to get him to a hospital asap. took him to a Hospital where we were told he had FIP and had to make a quality of life decision. At 5 months old, Chili had to be put down. If you look up FIP, the symptoms are exactly what I brought up. Looking back it's mindblowing that we were sent home twice and my concerns brushed off as 'a small cat'. I spoke to Caroline who sounded very robotic. She informed me that the drops we were given said to go back in a week if he didn't improve to get a different medication for a URI despite the fact the vet told us it was NOT a URI. She also told me that Chili maintained his weight across both appointments. maintaining weight does not mean maintaining a HEALTHY weight. Especially when his littermate was 2 pounds heavier and much larger than him. She told me that I was told that I could get him tested for the coronavirus, which mutates into FIP, but that they did not offer this in house. This is a blatant lie. At NO point was I advised that I could get him tested or that it might be something else. I asked to speak to someone else and I was told that her supervisor, Marie would call me back that day. The next day Marie had not called me back but I did receive an email confirming Chili's next appointment. I called in immediately to cancel this and mentioned that I was waiting on a call. She called me back within the hour and sounded very bothered and informed me that she had 10 minutes to spare. We went over the details and she started sticking to the fact that Chili maintained his weight despite the fact that I brought up other concerns as well. Once her 10 minutes were up she told me she'd look into it further and would have to call me back. She called me and let me know that we provided misinformation. She also referenced an appointment for my other cat from two months ago likely in an attempt to blame the fact she had a URI on why Chili got sick. She stated that in the 10 minutes the vet saw Chili he was not concerned because he was squirming to get away and was given a healthy body score. Trying to get away from a stranger who is poking and prodding you does not trump 2 weeks of being lethargic. Marie also told me that I was informed it was URI which contradicts what Caroline told me. I told her that all I wanted was some accountability for the fact I was not informed that I could take Chili to get tested elsewhere for a possible coronavirus diagnosis. She told me that I was informed --- I was informed that Chili would be a small cat. This practice will not take accountability for anything and instead of doing so will turn it around and blame you for not providing all of the necessary information or for misspeaking.

If you are donating you should consider giving to actual charities instead of "for profit" enterprises unless you have no other choice. If you do give know less than an 8th of the total profits goes to those in need. Donating is easy here just pull up, unload and go. If you need to get rid of items in a hurry or can't deal with finding just the right place for your items this place may work for you. All that said, sometimes you need to buy inexpensive or items on the fly and you check out Goodwill. We had pretty good luck shopping here at the Lakeland location for a few items. There is a main big room and a secondary smaller room and both share walls with an employee only section. The furniture is in the back room with some household stuff while the front room has clothing for all, accessories , linens, appliances, dishes, small appliances, toys, glasses, etc. They sell some new items that are close outs or extras from companies and donations from individuals. The employee only area is the heart of the operation. The donations come in a door in the drop off area on the outside right side. The stuff is loaded into bins and carried in to be sorted, priced, and later put out. You can't buy things that are newly donated till they are processed. It seems strange to not sell newly donated stuff to willing buyers but they have their protocols. The mark up here is pretty high. Some furniture was too highly priced for condition. There was a ton of linens that could have been gotten for similar prices at discount stores on sale. The selection varies as well as some things are in good condition while some are stained, broken and/or ripped. Employees are nice and friendly for the most part. We dealt with several and most were helpful. You can't blame them that they work hard and the company takes all the money. I digress. If you need things at an inexpensive price come check it out but know what the items you need are worth prior to arriving. This way you know you got a deal and avoided getting taken. Additionally, you'll know whether you need to shop at another store instead
