One of our curious ferrets got stuck behind the mini fridge we keep their raw diet in and wasn't feeling too well afterwards, on the back of our petco guarantee, it states if our ferret needs veterinary care within 30 days of purchase (we got her 18 days ago as a birthday gift as well as a cage mate) so we called this store and they said they won't help her because the injury didn't happen before we brought her. I stated the guarantee doesn't specify that all it says and all I was told on the date of purchase was if she needed help within 30 days of purchase they would help AND reimburse ANY approved vet expenses. So after going back and forth with a employee named Amber, she left me a voicemail telling me to come in and they will help us out. A tall white woman with purple hair and glasses with her purse on her shoulder, car keys in one hand and a cat carrier in the other. I walk up to amber and she says "sIgn these papers to give us permission to take her to the vet". She pointed right to the signature and showed me where to sign not 2 seconds after setting the paper down so in the rush I signed and the lady with the glasses was off with our baby. The next morning they said she was doing well and they are slowly decreasing treatment to see how she does but they would like to keep her overnight again. At this point our other 2 ferrets are showing signs of depression and looking for the missing ferret. They started eating less and trying to escape their cages at night. So we called petco and asked what vet baby was and when they informed me vida veterinary hospital I called up asking if we were able to bring by the family and they said no as we were not on the list of owners. So I asked how she was and they said they couldn't disclose that information since I'm not the owner. At this point I am worried so I called petco back and I informed them that they would not tell me the status of her because I am not a owner to which they replied they will call them and give me a call back. I never received a call back so the next morning I called ready to pick her up only to be told by the manager Roberto (whom of which had never spoken to me until this phone call) that Petco now owns the ferret. He also said " if you want to talk you can come down later when I'm free". Obviously not understanding this is like my child we are talking about, I throw on a hoodie and drive down with all of our documents down to the very last hospital bill. As soon as we walk in the manager crosses his arms and refuses to speak with us and says if we do not get off of the property he will call the cops for trespassing and harassment. I start video recording because he 1 just kidnapped or furry with absolutely 0 explanation. And # 2 informed his staff to call the police on me and my girlfriend for standing and videotaping. Now 2 customers start cursing at me and my girlfriend and the male even tries to hit me to the point where two of the employees had to back him up from me as I was just standing and recording ( this is all on video) And after this altercation the receptionist says that we started the entire altercation and we were now harassing customers. After the police come we happily leave the building and explain our side of the story to which the police seem to have sympathy. They go into the store and they talk with the owner for about 20 minutes afterwards they come out ask for our IDs and give us a trespassing charge. So not only was our fuzzy kidnapped, we had no answers as to how she was or why she was taken, as well as a trespassing charge. So I come home and I call every person I could think of. Obviously no one gave me any results. And this entire ordeal happened around 12:30 PM. Not 2 hrs later I get a phone call from Mr. Roberto who has an oddly cherry tone for the man that just threw us out with no explanation, kidnapped our child, and charged us with trespassing. He explains that they cannot give me my baby back but they are willing to give me a refund of $199. And to add insult to injury he calls back one more time to really hammer the nail in the coffin and explain that we will never get her back but he hopes the money makes up for the situation. After hearing that voicemail I didnt reply right away bc I was angry so the next morning I called the store and off bat they asked for my name. After telling them they immediately hung up on me. This happened 4x times until we called for my girlfriends phone and the exact same thing happened to her (we have SS of the call logs) until they ended up blocking us. why did these evil people go out of their way to kidnap with no explanation, call the police on us, charge us for trespassing, call us offering money in exchange for our baby, calling back again to twist the knife but hopes the money will rectify the situation, just to have us hung up on time after time. These people are insidious. they think money will fix this. read more
