Just received a VERY important reminder from LA County Animal Services to keep pets safe in the…read moreevent of an emergency. Please see their content (in quotation) below mine. My husband and I had always planned (I feared) for such an event. We made a "go" bag (not unlike ours) for our furbaby complete with meds and food we lovingly prepared (to be added from the freezer). I enlisted a tutorial from our vet tech https://www.yelp.com/biz/p-a-l-pet-assistance-by-lory-sherman-oaks to properly administer SQ fluids and B-12 supplement. Our furbaby succumbed to kidney disease two months ago. Now all we have to worry about in an emergency is ourselves. Passing this info on as it applies to all creatures, four leg or two leg... "September is National Emergency Preparedness Month, and LA Animal Services wants to make sure your furry four-legged friends are part of your family emergency plan. Here's a checklist to create a family emergency preparedness plan. · Plan where you and your pet will stay in case you need to evacuate your home. · Prepare an emergency kit. Put together a bag of emergency supplies for your pet such as food and water for several days, treats, medications, toys, and blankets. Make sure that perishable items are replaced every few months. · Create copies of important documents for your animal such as vaccination records, microchip information, photos of your pet, your contact information, friends/relatives contact information, notes on feeding, medication, and behavior. Keep a copy off-site with a friend or family member, in digital storage, and tape a copy to a portable kennel. · Make sure you have the proper equipment for pets to ride in the car (carriers, harnesses, pet seat belts, etc.). · Have your entire family, including your furry family members, practice evacuating so everyone knows what to take, where to find the pets, and where to meet. Emergencies can happen at any time, so planning ahead and being prepared are key to keeping you and your family and your pets safe. Thank you, The LA Animal Services Team"

Adopted Oso (now Grizzly) in October 2024 and he has been the most incredibly addition to our…read morefamily. I found my cute boy on petfinder which lead me to Kitten Rescue. After applying, we were reached out and did a FaceTime interview and showed around our apartment. We went to the Atwater village location and met our sweet boy (and so many other wonderful babies!) Kitten Rescue knows what they are doing with care and socialization, and is running a well oiled machine. The adoption fee was well worth it since they are all fixed, chipped, and vaccinated. I read a lot of people complaining about their kittens in pairs policy and adoption process which is honestly frustrating. Their policies and procedures are super fair and ensure the kitties go to quality homes. A denied application is not a good reason for a 1 star review... maybe do some cat care research before applying again.

Context: I have a 5 year old cat. I've been planning on adopting another kitten for months, but…read morecouldn't until I escaped my 9-5 job. First I was introduced to a kind brunette, but was shown around by a larger blonde lady. The latter seemed very against my job schedule (transitioning from full time to part time) and said the kittens must be fed three times a day. I said me or my family would always be available to care for her, and felt confident in my ability to do so. Now I understand wholeheartedly that foster mommies are VERY protective and only want the best for their fur babies. And the foster house was lovely, much better than any shelter! However... this one blonde seemed to have already decided I was unfit from the start. I hoped to speak with the lead brunette alone, but no dice. So I adopted my perfect baby from Pasadena Humane Society instead. The process felt FARRR less judgmental. I'm glad there are positive experiences from this place, but I know what the negative reviews might be getting at. Just... a large group of only white ladies staring me (asian) down hard for something I didn't expect to be quite so stressful. Feels like you're guilty till proven innocent. I do recommend Pasadena Humane Society. I also had to fill out a form with several restrictions, but the staff were so much more encouraging. They treated me as innocent till proven guilty, and I am so grateful for my secondborn kitty!

I highly recommend working with Luxe Paws if you want to foster/ adopt! Jacquie was great & easy to work with when I adopted 2 kittens last year. I neither owned or lived with cats/pets before, and had so many questions. Jacquie was supportive, honest, patient, knowledgeable, and resourceful. One time, she was out trapping kittens after work, and couldn't answer my questions, so she made sure a foster mom was available by phone to help me. They are thorough with the care they give to all the rescues. Their tireless work is inspiring and all the neighboring vets & pet stores light up when they hear that your kittens are from Luxe Paws. All the feels. All the love for Luxe Paws. They will help you be the best cat mom/dad! Thank you for all that you do!

Dr. Vasquez is an actual angel. it's so clear how much he's in this for the right reasons. i can't even imagine how hard it would be to do that job with a heart as big as his. the vet techs were all just as caring. the secretarial staff could use a bit more tenderness lol but maybe they hire people like them on purpose for that role bc they need to be more terse to keep things moving along. we ended up getting a new dog from a stressful situation. she was in bad shape- completely malnourished, underweight and pregnant! we weren't prepared to take her on and didn't have the budget to handle all of the care she needed right away so Dr.Vasquez pointed me in the direction of a non profit that helped us cover the expenses. they're called "Better Together Forever" btw. i'm just all around blown away by their entire staffs kindness and compassion for animals. be prepared, they're a low income vet and the way they're able to make it work is a first come first serve process. get there no later than 6am, bring a jacket, a warm drink and a cushion for your butt. make sure your animal has a cozy blanket to lay on too. you're gonna be there awhile but it's worth it.
