Late March I completed an app for a cat online. They replied quickly and rejected me. Because I…read morestated that I may take the cat outside with me, they said cats should never have access to outside or be free to roam around. I replied by stating that I did not indicate any such thing. The cat would live indoors, eat, sleep indoors, and otherwise be an indoor cat. If outside, it would be completely supervised by me. I never received another response to that. I also very much believe that the fact that I am a senior did not sit well with them. They do ask your age on the app (that should be illegal). Maybe that's the real reason and they are using outside as an excuse. In any event, the cat is still on the website living in a shelter when it could have had a very wonderful loving home., No wonder there are so many animals living in shelters.

There were booths for the SPCA of all of the neighboring parishes, food booths, even mini horses for kidlets to ride. Set in the grounds for the Copeland stage, there was also live music, a costume contest and the best part is that the SPCA brings dogs and cats intended for adoption, and the event this year, the adoption fees were waived. This is an amazing event. Seriously. I look forward to coming back next year, and I think all of you should come as well. There are just booths on booths on booths. There were a few booths that had knick-knacks to purchase. This was an amazing event. Great job everyone! Please note that the gender neutral restrooms are actually port-a-johns. Bring hand sanitizer and wear comfortable shoes!

I bought a parakeet from 50 fathoms four days ago and I've already spent hundreds of dollars on vet…read morebills because she came infected with Chlamidophilosis. From my interactions with the staff, it sounds like they would not have gotten her treated if they found out she was sick at the store. It feels like buying her ended up being kind of a rescue mission, honestly. The staff at 50 fathoms tried to deny that she was even sick, telling me that the vet I went to wasn't good and insisting that I should have gone to a different vet all the way in Baton Rouge. They said the vet was just guessing, but actually the vet did a fecal exam and also sent her blood out to a lab. I know I'm not the ideal pet owner because I'm poor and have an active outdoorsy lifestyle, but I'm doing everything I can to save this bird which is much more than they did. The bird is responding well to treatment and the vet says she has a pretty good chance of survival, but the articles I've read say that the treatment plan involves six weeks of antibiotic injections to prevent the bacterial infection from becoming treatment resistant. That's a lot of vet appointments for an animal I just bought four days ago. Chlamydophilosis is transmittable to humans. While I do recommend buying from a small locally owned business, this one wouldn't be my first choice anymore despite their wonderful selection of exotics, because I don't feel good about their standards for ensuring their animals' health and well being. If you must buy from this store, proceed with caution.

I am a former client. My dog has always looked great after each grooming appointment. Which I would…read moregive 5 stars for. They've granted any grooming requests I've made. The issue I had was my dog being left in a kennel while she wasn't being groomed. Every time i picked her up she would panting, barking, pacing inside the kennel. We do not kennel our dog and never have the entire time we've owned her which has been over 5 years since we rescued her. I have to bring a cup of water when I pick her up which was usually 2-3 hours later. Because I felt like she was extremely hot and thirsty and always drank all the water by the time I arrived home which takes 7 minutes. So if your dog has never been kenneled or has been traumatized from being kenneled due to it's past. I do not recommend this place. If your dog loves to socialize with other dogs and is kennel trained then by all means try it out.

I am dog sitting my grand dog #mansbestfriend so I thought I would grab these since getting one free is a great deal. I was looking and found 3 nylabones exactly the same price and they were on sale/clearance. My lucky day! I went to the register and when the young man rang them up he said the sale was over. I pointed to the sign that said they were clearly on sale. He tried to get it to work but could not so he told me it wasn't working did I want to just buy 2 of them. I said do I get the third one free and he said no it wouldn't ring up. I told him to call a manager over so I could get the sale. He called the manager (at least that's who he said he called) over and he told her he couldn't get it to work. She told him to plug in my PALS number. He did this and it still wouldn't work. The manager quickly looked at the bones I had and told me it was probably because they were already marked down. I said ad said "entire stock". She just said no it's probably because they were on sale. I left without purchasing anything. I will put a picture of the ad attached.
