After recently losing my sweet cat to a neurologic problem, I visited the Humane Society of…read moreSarasota County. At first I was a bit skeptical driving to the location, but upon arriving I was so surprised to see such a beautiful, modern, clean facility almost hidden away in north Sarasota. The staff were very kind and helpful and within two hours I was on my way home with my new furry little pal. Everything is taken care of from exam, spaying/neutering, microchipping, county license and even a bag of food that the pet is currently eating. If you are considering adopting a dog or cat, I highly recommend starting your search here.

Sarasota Humane Society is the BEST place to adopt a forever pet. The staff is so nice. I've…read moreadopted 2 cats over the last 2 years and I respect it's a "no kill shelter" I heard from a staff member they go to other shelters and bring animals that would more than likely be euthanized and give them the exposure for a forever home. Their are other shelters that provide adoptions but this is a place I recommend!

Wonderful center for cat adoptions, but behind the scenes, there is so much more! I have adopted 5…read morecats from this facility and each of them has been the picture of health and well-adjusted personality. The veterinarian care from their on-staff shelter medical personnel is top-notch. Two of my adoptees had low grade heart murmurs as kittens and that information was disclosed and explained completely and in simple terminology. I felt fully informed and comfortable. Also, I was surprised by how many additional things the shelter provided for the cost of the adoption. For example, the cats were neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. All in all, my experiences have been pleasant, professional, and resulted in incredible life-long friendships. If you're stopping in for a visit, make sure to ask for a guided tour, some of the volunteers are incredibly knowledgeable with literally decades of experience as cat fosters, shelter volunteers, and even some retired veterinarians!

I have no issues with the adoption center (besides the fact that one cat I adopted from them had a…read moremajor ear infection and the other had skin cancer), the clinic in the back is the problem. The least of all of my issues: Every single time I came for my appointment I never waited less than 45 minutes, and once almost two hours. Our cats ear infection got worse after every visit, the head doctor was dismissive and rude, (I would dread having to talk to her, and was so pleased anytime she wasn't there) they didn't keep track of what medications our cat was on, even going as far as telling me I must have gotten one of the medications somewhere else (what??), when we would ask about past medications THEY had given to him, half the time they didn't have the name or any information in their chart, they once gave us unlabeled cream in a random jar and never told us what it was. They put my kitten under anesthesia without prior warning multiple times because they couldn't handle cleaning out his ears when he was a tiny baby, and they often forgot to call us to pick him up, and rarely followed up with his test results despite promising to do so. We once waited almost a month to hear back, that was the final straw, we were already seeing another vet by the time they got back to us. The "ear cleanings" were them ripping the scabs off of his ears, it was reopening the wounds, causing him major pain, and probably causing more infection. Our new vet pointed out that they were opened and aggravated after our last visit with the clinic, and they didn't understand why they would do that, let alone why they would do that to him multiple times, or why they had to use anesthesia. We were told multiple times that he is deaf, when he is not, he can hear the treat bag being opened from upstairs, and our new vet confirmed he can hear fine. During one of our last visits the head doctor accused us of not doing our part at home when we had the scratches and scars to prove that he was getting the many different medications he was prescribed daily. We were driving a 2hour round trip just to go to them and doing everything that was asked of us, but were treated unkindly and accusatorially when we asked why things weren't getting better. We dealt with this for almost three months, his ears never improved, only worsened in that time and I am positive he would still have major issues if we had kept going here. As soon as we switched vets his ear issue cleared up within two visits (3 weeks), the vet never felt the need to put him under, and worked with us to find the underlying issues so we could deal with the root of the problem. After dealing with this new vet for the last half year I am convinced the cat clinic did nothing to help and very likely made things worse. Our experience with this new vet has been so opposite of our experience with the Cat Depot Clinic that I feel obligated to warn people. Even though we are grateful for Cat Depot for the amazing cats we adopted from them, we cannot trust this place, nor can we recommend it. PS our other cat had a small tumor on his face that the head doctor refused to look into, saying it was impossible for him to have skin cancer and it was just a pimple. Our new vet immediately took a sample his first visit and it was skin cancer. He had to surgically remove it and now we know to check him regularly for any new bumps.

We were searching for a new cat sitter after our second experience with a Rover pet sitter suddenly…read morenot showing up to check on our cats. We are SO fortunate to have found Richard from Catify My Home. It's not that often you hit the jackpot from a Google search, but we did with this one! Our cats Canvas and Ophelia love their uncle Richie! There isn't enough time to write how vastly different, and better, Richard is from your typical app cat sitter. Any previous cat sitter would stop in, scoop the litter box, refill the food, add water, hang out for 10 minutes and then leave. With Richard our cats get so much play hunting time and lots of affection. His drop ins are 90 minutes and this includes ensuring the dry food is full, cleaning the litter box, refilling the water bowls (which he also cleans), and vacuuming around the cat area. It doesn't just end there, he also brings our trash to the curb if he's cat sitting on a trash day, brings in our mail or any packages, vacuums the areas where he's playing with the cats, and I'm sure there's more I'm missing! We used to come back from time away and dread getting home because of the cat duties...cleaning up the scattered litter/food on the floor, washing water bowls, emptying the litter genie, etc. with Richard, all of that is done for us! We simply come back home to the happiest cats. He will send A TON of photos and videos to show updates. He truly loves cats and understands their behavior. He was even able to get our younger cat (who is skittish and typically hides from strangers) to start coming out and playing with him. Also...he is extremely reliable and doesn't treat cat sitting like a side hobby. Previous sitters wouldn't always send updates and a lot of time we would have to check in with them to see if they were still stopping by to check in. With Richard we know our cats will be well cared for. Every time we are away we tell each other how lucky we are to have found him. Catify My Home is simply the best!!

Every time we've left our cats in Richard's care, we've come home to two happy, well-fed, and relaxed kitties. He's incredibly reliable, keeps us updated with photos and messages, and even takes the time to tidy up around the feeding area. If you're looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after your fur babies, Richard at Catify My Home is the best choice. We wouldn't trust anyone else with our cats!

Where do I start?! I can not express my gratitude for Steve Cohen and Tropical Dog Training of…read moreFlorida. We purchased a Bull Terrier puppy and we were experiencing a difficult time from day one. We contacted Steve and made arrangements to visit the training site. It is a beautiful , well maintained, spacious , air conditioned kennel with acres of land for your pet to play and learn. We made arrangements then for Max to attend after he had all his shots. This was several weeks away and the problems continued. We were reassured by the breeder and this was typical "Bully" behavior. I felt like a failure! I could not get this puppy to do anything! The day came for Steve to come to our home and pick Max up. While bringing him to his van he noticed that Max's eyes did not constrict/dilate in the sun. Steve stopped 1/2 back to let Max get a walk and noticed Max could not coordinate the curbs. I received a call from Steve the next morning. There was something very wrong with Max. Not only was he genuinely concerned for Max's well-being, but he was concerned for ours as well. He took the time to board Max for days, have his vet look at him and take Max to a neurologist for an evaluation. Sadly, Max should never have been sold and is a very neurologically damaged puppy who is almost completely blind and deaf! His behavior was cause by these ailments and needed to be returned to the breeder. Steve went out of his way and returned Max to the low life breeder himself. Eventually we will get another puppy but it will be from someone Steve recommends!!! We can not thank him enough! He came recommend to us and we sure would recommend him and Tropical Dog Training to every dog owner!
