    The cats
    Crystal R.

    Update 5: Changing my rating from 1 star to 4. I received a call from Karen, the president at Purebreds Plus. We discussed what happened and she assured me that my experience was not the norm, and that Leanne would be disciplined and/or terminated. She also refunded our adoption fee. Karen seemed genuinely concerned about what had happened. She explained that the adoption process should always include visiting the foster home to meet the kittens in a comfortable environment prior to taking them home. I believe the rescue's reputation is very important to Karen and the other folks at Purebreds plus, and I really appreciate the way they handled this bizarre situation Update 4: I got a call back from Amy at Purebreds plus. I missed their call but they left a message expressing concern and letting me know that someone would be following up with me in a few days. Update 3: Leanne just called my partner and left a message telling him that I peed on her paperwork(Wtf?!) and that he needs therapy and I need to go to prison. Umm, yeah, no stars Update 2: Leanne called me and left a voicemail: I'd like to ask you to enjoy hell. You truly are an evil person, you truly are. And I am so sorry for Alan(my partner) -y'all, this is so wild. I had no idea this could happen over some kittens. Update: After leaving my house Leanne texted me to tell me that she's calling all the rescues to put me and my partner on a do not adopt list. So I've blocked her number. -------- My partner adopted two kittens while I was away this past weekend. He said he never got a chance to interact with the kittens before bringing them home because Leanna, the foster, wouldn't allow him to take them out of the cat carrier. When I got home we realized that the kittens did not match the description provided. We were expecting a bonded pair of grey Maine Coon mix kittens with tufted ears and green eyes. What we got seemed more like a couple of poorly socialized 4 month old litter mates, that seemed much more like domestic medium hair grey tabbies than Maine coons. Their eyes were yellow rather than green, and they had long ear furnishings, but no ear tufts. They were still beautiful, and I've been a volunteer cat foster for years, so I figured we could socialize them if we really wanted to. The foster, Leanne, had said there were lots of applicants for these kittens, so we spent two days discussing and considering our options, we had paid $300 for the kittens, but decided it would be best to return the kittens to the rescue to be rehomed while they still had a lot of other interested families. I figured the rescue wouldn't care, they just get to collect another $300 off one of the other interested applicants. Boy was I wrong! I had texted Leanne to let her know that we'd like to return the kittens, but she hadn't responded, so I gave her a call. She answered right away and was very sweet on the phone. She asked why I'd like to return them and I told her it wasn't going to work out and that I could bring the kittens to her. She said her husband would come get them and we ended the call. A few minutes later she calls me back, sounding angry. She tells me that she needs her cat carrier and her paperwork. I told her that I have the cat carrier ready, but I wasn't sure where the paperwork is and would look around for it. She tells me that I better have her paper work and then starts yelling at me about what a horrible person I am, that she has a lot of applications and I was lucky to get these kittens. I tried to explain that my partner hadn't consulted me and there were problems with the ad but she just kept yelling over me. Telling me "too bad, that's your problem sweetheart!" over and over again. Then she said she was coming to my house with her husband and hung up on me. I was scared. I didn't understand the reaction she was having. I called the rescue to see if I could talk to someone, but all I could do was leave a voicemail. But for all I know those messages might just go back to Leanne. A while later she showed up at my door, angry and telling me that I was the worst person she'd ever met. It's so wild, like, I cannot believe that this happened and that she behaved this way. After she left with the cats she even sat in her car, in front of my house, and just laid on the horn for a while.

    Adopted a kitten from foster, Dayna, a few days ago. The adoption process was lengthy but really simple! This rescue is all about finding the right match for adopters AND cats. Dayna made the process easy, was very sweet & helped us bring home a new family member Laszlo (previously Cannoli) is settling into his new home and we can't wait to see him fully blossom! Thank you so much to Dayna and Purebreds Plus Cat Rescue for everything! (Pictures of Laszlo after bringing him home!)

    I just saw the owner's response, for starter, my application stated that I live in a house with a…read morebig yard, and that I had a dog before. The fact that the owner responded saying I was not qualified because I live in an apartment and with no prior experience, proves that they did not even look at my application.

    Please pause and read before applying to DAR. This is a volunteer based organization who's mission…read moreis to place pets in safe, loving, forever homes. They serve animals NOT humans. They're not an adoption agency. They are saving animals. They have limited resources (volunteers!), so they're going to create adoption obstacles to weed out those who are not willing, able, and committed to providing safe and caring homes. So be prepared to spend 15-20 minutes to apply online and be ready to respond quickly if they reply to your application. We inquired online about adopting our fur baby on June 19, 2021. We got lucky and got a response right away. Within less than 24 hours we got confirmation she was ours if we were willing to pick her up within the next day and a half. The process required an online application (be ready to get personal), several home video submissions, and some follow up questions. We picked her up on Fathers Day, June 20 2021! So it was quite the whirlwind. It was amazing and life changing! DAR is living up to their mission.They're doing the hard work. Don't expect them to bend to you. Remember, you are not the client - serving the animals are their purpose. Please don't write or pay attention reviews that they didn't respond to email. You're only hurting animals that deserve forever homes.

    Fosters And Paws is everything anyone could want in a rescue: compassionate, organized, and…read morecompletely dedicated to their animals. Their adoption process is smooth, transparent, and focused on making sure each pet is placed in the right home for a true forever match. They do amazing adoptions--thoughtful matching, great communication, and it's obvious the animals are genuinely loved and well cared for in foster homes. Fosters And Paws goes above and beyond to support both the pets and the adopters, and the care they put into every placement really shows. Highly, highly recommended!

    This place operates way more like a puppy-mill resale business than a real rescue. They pushed a…read moredog on us that they claimed was a sweet, easy companion, but what we actually got was a high-drive, reactive dog that needed hours of structure and training every single day. None of that was disclosed. And we have a cat who's lived here peacefully for years, the dog they gave us immediately showed unsafe behaviour toward him biting his neck and ears and not releasing all this as a 9 week old puppy supposedly. When we brought the dog back, the woman there was rude, dismissive, and tried to blame us for not "introducing them right," even though we followed their instructions. The attitude was the exact same as a backyard breeder, take the money, dump the dog on you, refuse to take responsibility, and then guilt-trip you when reality doesn't match what they sold. We lost $500, stressed our home, and risked our cat's safety because they couldn't be honest about what kind of dog they were placing. It felt nothing like rescue work, more like flipping dogs and hiding behind rescue language as apparent when the founder shows up to collect a dog in a brand new 90,000$ Audi. I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE, JUST ASK THEM FOR PROOF OF WHERE THESE PUPPIES COME FROM.

I didn't…read morereally ever visit this place until I was at the yummy Popcorn Store last year, walked by & seen an ad taped on the window that advertised doggy-day-outs (visits and hangouts with dogs for 15 minutes of longer) or doggie sleepovers. Answering that sign was my foot in the door to the shelter and how I started to visit the cats & dogs, take the orientation/volunteer classes, do doggy day outs, sleepovers & adoptions here at the shelter. I've even dropped off blankets, towels, hand towels for donations, just walked around to visit & give treats to happy, sitting doggies, to hang out with cats, and also for a sad reason-to quarantine my beloved doggie due to a biting incident. I'd highly recommend this shelter to fill your heart-to lend a hand, volunteer, and share your love with these unhoused animals by walking them around the block, taking them for a hike, a Pup-Cup at Starbucks, to the park, or to even foster the cats, dogs, or other furry creatures. The first animal we fostered here was a Boxer mix named Josh Hartnett. He was so full of energy, excitement. He was the star in his own show and our family was just his supporting cast. The surprising & amazing thing the shelter did, was the immense support we got while fostering Josh. The shelter provided all the toys, the kennel, dog food, leash, dog bowls, pretty much everything you would need to take care of a dog in your own home. Any time I had a question or concern, I could text them & they were timely to answer & meet all my needs & concerns. I remember one time Josh quickly chewed up all the toys they gave us. Concerned with his stress or even him chewing up our belongings, I asked the shelter for more chew toys. They put some in a bag for us & left it outside for easy pick up since I had to come by after hours (they close at 6pm). I liked that they are responsible for their animals reproduction and even had an established appointment for Josh to be neutered which I knew about via email. After 2 weeks of fostering Josh in our home, he went to get neutered. I kept track of him when he went to another dog foster parent, then eventually when he found his fur-ever home. Sadly, we didn't get to see him after we fostered him, but the best part was seeing him be loved & cared for on the Facebook Foster thread by other amazing foster parents then his eventual adoption. The shelter does really well to help the public be aware of the energy, social needs, cat/dog friendliness, housetraining needs, a potential owner would like to know before adoption. Green paw means pretty laid back, orange paw is in the middle, purple paw is high. There's signs above the crates that specify their approximate age & breed. While a potential adopter walks around they're welcome to grab a paper bowl & fill it with treats & treat them as long as the dogs are quiet, and sitting. Adopters are also welcome to hang out in a room or in the play area with a dog they'd like to get to know more. There's also a whole cat/kitten section and a nice room to hang out with them. I've even seen other little creatures available like hamsters, guinea pigs & turtles there etc. Here's the link to adoptable dogs: https://elkgrove.gov/adoptions/current-dogs-shelter Here's the link to adoptable cats: https://elkgrove.gov/adoptions/current-dogs-shelter Here's the link to adoptable animals, not a cat or dog (I see a bunny & a turtle currently): https://elkgrove.gov/adoptions/current-dogs-shelter I love that they have barn/working cats too. Adoption fees range from $10-$150. Minus a star because they don't seem to have enough staff/helpers anytime I've been there so often times I have to wait. Good luck & hope you find an animal you can love, foster and hang out with!

When I contacted them a few days later the girl first said she mix some medication For us to pick up , I contacted another number of where the lab work was done and vaccinations were done at UC Davis and they advised they couldn't release the kittens medical information to me only the SpCA, why? Because the kitten was sick ! Obviously, shouldn't I be aware of medical issues with an animal I just adopted!? about 20 minutes later they said it was not their kittens even though they were currently treating them with meds but that it was my" elderly cat" (he's 10). I took my cat straight away to our vet who tan blood work( $570) took stool samples and advised he needed medication for parasites deworming ect. The SPCA refused to give us the medication for the kitten we adopted but told us it would be best if we just returned him to the foster who was caring for him. All they are interested in is the "DONATION" of $135 or "Fee" . I am happy to donate to the care and rescue of all animals but I will not contribute to staff not doctors giving medical opinions and letting sick animals be adopted knowingly. We were told the cat may have diarrhea due to them changing the food. Clearly this was not the reason. They don't respond to emails, they don't have an office number they are unorganized. I have adopted several cats from shelters and SPCA. This is a common occurrence of how pet adoptions happen.
