I had a great experience here when I recently adopted a kitten from Sean Casey Animal Rescue. The…read morestaff was very personable and helpful, and seemed genuinely committed to what they were doing. I have heard that trying to adopt a cat in NYC can sometimes be a trying, time consuming and overall unpleasant experience, but my experience here was the total opposite. I spoke to someone nice on the phone to get details about the cats they had, and they offered to hold a female kitten who sounded perfect until I was able to come in. Well, perfect she was and in less than an hour they had all my paperwork processed, called my references, approved my application, went over her medical records with me, and recommended a great food from their pet store to me. Not to mention that she is the sweetest little lovebug anyone could imagine and has been a total joy- used the litterbox from day one, gets along with my dog, only scratches her scratching post, I could go on for days! While in the store I also took a peek at all the exotic animals they had- I can honestly say I never thought I would see a tortoise the size of a dog just freely roaming around a pet store in Brooklyn! They also had snakes, iguanas, lizards, guinea pigs, hamsters, and parakeets (due to legalities regarding the keeping of exotics in city limits, certain types of animals are only available with proof of address outside of NYC). They are the only place that I've come across in NYC that offers its (excellent) rescue services to these cast off exotic animals and it's wonderful to see a place committed to helping every homeless animal that needs help- not just the ones that are cute and fluffy and easy to find homes for. Their facebook page is great too! Staff members check the page and love to see updates on pets that have found homes!

Was about to make my purchase (including an additional item) when the staff began speaking with a customer about how they should be allowed to openly play Christian music.

He literally became my friend and helped me so much with my immediate and sudden situation. I had received a call from a good friend who was in a dire need for me to pick up a 12lb rabbit immediately and "rabbit sit" her for 2 mths plus. What?? Rabbit sit?? I've never owned a pet, have just moved and am functioning (hardly) with a broken arm and shattered shoulder. Unpacking-ha. So in one day I needed to clear out a room, rabbit proof it and learn how to care for this cute thing tho I'm allergic. I also bought a cage, food, etc from knowledgeable Ali. He spent a long time on the phone with me. He was very patient and alleviated my nerves and gave me step by step instructions on how to care for lil (ha) Annabelle. Everything was delivered to me within 2 hours. He even ran across the street to the dollar store to buy a broom for me. And of course I called Ali at least 3 more times to make sure I was doing everything correctly. He was nice, not hurried, and was excited for me and my new family member! Ali's father Naim, whom I called 1st, also was as accommodating as Ali. Naim runs an additional store and was very helpful in recommending I call his son cus of the proximity of Ali's store to my apt. 10 stars to them if I could! And Annabelle is safe 'n sound in my 12yr old son's room who couldn't be happier!

We originally tried a couple other local dog daycare places that looked a little more glam than this one, but we've stayed here because of the loving care they provide for our dog. All of the staff are very attentive, professional, and loving with Monty - they notice things about his health and behavior, they pay close attention to the relationships dogs have with each other, and they also have figured out to bathe our dog, who is very opposed to water. Monty is always excited to arrive here and it's a wonderful feeling knowing he is in good hands. (It's also a well-run business; there's never been any confusion about billing or prices or anything like that and they've always been accommodating when we've had scheduling snafus.)
