I sincerely appreciate Foster & Forever. For two months, I fed a cat that started appearing near…read moreour house. At first, I thought it was feral, but after interacting with it, I suspected it was lost or abandoned. With temperatures dropping below zero the last two weeks and unable to bring it inside due to having two cats already, I reached out to several animal organizations, but most didn't respond or offered excuses and gave me a HUGE run around. I am grateful that my daughter was able to connect with Foster & Forever. After multiple discussions with Ann and Bobbie, they visited my home and picked up the cat. Last night, they sent me a touching video featuring the affectionate cat contentedly purring. Thank you for really listening to my concerns, hearing me out, and helping me find a home for this unfortunate animal. I will be forever grateful to you two!

She is extremely professional, responsible, and caring. She is very flexible and reliable and has made my life much easier. Her scheduling system is very easy to use and she provides very personalized care- easy to reach and gives updates after her visits. I highly recommend Sheri to anyone looking for a dog walking service.

We lost our beloved 18 year old Ragdoll, Rumi, in June. I found it unbearable to live without our…read morelittle guy and reached out to Ragdoll Tales in July. It was easy to reserve a kitten to be born within a few weeks and available for adoption in October. Part of the fun of working with this breeder were her three beautiful daughters who helped socialize the kittens. Oh, my! Those kittens are loved and petted and handled constantly! We chose our little girl - Kali - and couldn't be happier. She's a doll. Very funny and very opinionated!

I can't say enough good about Ragdoll Tales and Elena! We drove up in the icy winter to pick up…read morebaby Murphy and she was so accommodating. I had received videos and photos since I reached out in September and the process was so easy. You can tell she puts a lot of love and passion into all her kittens. Through the few minor problems (kitten diarrhea, clean ups, etc...) Elena was there to answer my questions and give advice. Would highly recommend, but I don't know if they can get much better than Murphy I can't share enough photos of her

We came here years back with our loving boy cat when he was having some issues and was slowly passing away. They turned us away. We ended up driving over an hour for another vet to help us. Fast forward to today my boyfriend called having a question about our girl cat we've had for almost 8 months. They couldn't answer anything and turned us away yet again because they're not accepting new patients. Why be open? Or why not advertise that you guys just simply don't help or are not even willing to. I'm not really one to complain but I don't see how they're still in business. Go anywhere else where your time and your loving baby will be prioritized. Update: so yesterday after I wrote my review I decided I was going to call them stating (nicely) they should say they're not accepting new patients. Darlene was at the "front desk" and honestly she was rude. She tried turning the problem back on me. She was beating around the bush and trying to make it seem like I was the problem. "I should have this, I should have that". She stated they could only give out general information and not advice..okay well she didn't even answer the general questions. The way she was talking to me I really wanted to break out of character but I'm not going to stoop down to her level. Please go anywhere else where you and your concerns will be taken seriously instead of some "lady" trying to play the blame game. Go spend your hard earned money some where else. Obviously this place doesn't care about how they treat their customers so I highly doubt they'd give your loving animal the attention and care they deserve.

I first took my cat here to see an opthamologist last summer. I had taken him to 2 separate vets…read morefor issues with his eye due to allergies and scratching. (We tried a new vet local to us since moving, but decided to go back to the one we trusted, an hour away). Both vets prescribed prednisone drops among trying other things. Our regular vet suggested it was time for a specialist. I'd called several places and no one had an available appointment for months. Some had an office visit charge of $400+ and insisted on doing bloodwork although he already had recent bloodwork done. Finally I called Newtown and got him an appt for the same week, and it was under $300 for the exam. The opthamologist we saw that day is no longer there, but our experience was a positive one. I found out his eye issue was a herpes infection that was not resolving due to the prednisone. Something completely missed by the regular vets. She also recommended entropion surgery for his eyelid that was turned in (later discovering his eyelash had fused to his eye). Fast forward to last week... I brought him back to the vet because of changes in the appearance of his eye. He had a "corneal sequestrum" which is dead scar tissue from trauma. We were monitoring it to make sure it didnt become an issue. Back to the opthomologist in Newtown - this time we saw Dr Crabtree. The cost of the visit was only $202, billed as a followup from last year. I feared surgery, but she told me his eye was attempting to heal itself by pushing out the dead tissue, which was a good thing. Surgery would be $4000, but she is confident he wont need it. She prescribed antibiotics drops but didnt make me buy them there, since I had some at home already. The plan is to recheck him in a few weeks, and remove any loose tissue at that time. Such a relief to hear good news. My worry woth specialists is that they want to do expensive procedures and testing, but this was not the case here. Contrary to another review I read, my cat was treated with care by all staff we encountered.

I got a cut and paste response to this second post after my call and hold . Apparently what I wrote…read morewas not read or responded to personally. Wow. "Pet Wellness Team S. Business Owner Apr 9, 2026 Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Rodney. We are pleased to hear that you have confidence in our doctors, but we understand your frustration with the communication issues you've encountered. Your feedback is important, and we are committed to improving our service. Please call (203) 270-8387 and ask to speak to our hospital manager so we can address your concerns directly. We appreciate your patience and hope to provide a better experience in the future." So I called the next day and was on hold to 7 minutes before being to that you were in a meeting and could not speak with me. They could not have known that in less than 7 minutes? This is exactly the sort of service that is so poor and beneath the level of medical care. Let's see if I get a call back as promised?
