THIS IS MY REVIEW. PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ IT THROUGH. IT IS ABSOLUTELY DESPICABLE WHAT HAS GONE ON SINCE MALINA AND BERNIE ARE NO LONGER WORKING THERE. I AM VERY SORRY FOR THE BAD LANGUAGE, I WAS EXTREMELY EMOTIONAL. early this past wednesday morning 06/10/2017 i was working In my storage unit because it was 108 degrees that day and completely unbearable inside. while walking to the restroom i heard meowing that came from inside a storage unit. i used to have a unit three doors down. i know how hot it is inside. i called our security the guard arrived quickly.after briefing him of what i heard he went to the door, knocked again a few meows were heard. the guard said "there definitely is a cat in there" he was unable to do anything except make a report. which he did. when the animal shelter opened i asked if they could do anything. they could not but referred me to the animal control officer. i called the palm springs police department for the animal control officer. i was told somebody from STORAMERICA office had already called (because i told the maintenance man) they were informed that since it is private property, the manager could open it get the cat and re-secure the unit legally. the office at my facility was closed the entire day for an offsite staff meeting. it is again over 100 degrees outside. about 6:30pm, the temporary/replacement "manager" (i use that title in the loosest possible way, hence quotation marks), HENRY drives by my unit so i go running out to his car. he was aware of the cat situation. i say i am so glad you are here. Henry tells me he is going to try and contact the man who rents the unit. an hour later he drives by again. does not stop to speak to me so i walked over to his car again. he is on the phone but smiles and gives me a thumbs up he says, "i got a hold of the guy he will be here soon to take care of it." as he said this, he was opening the door of another unit. when he got the door open he was fanning the air that came out of the unit saying "whew it is really hot in here" this unit was 2 door down from where the cat was. Henry was taking pictures of some trash left on the floor of the unit. i asked him if he was going to wait for the man, "no" he replied as he closed the door to the other unit again commenting on how hot it was inside. i said imagine what it feels like with a fur jacket on. he just got in his car and left. HE DID NOT CARE ABOUT THE CAT. i waited until midnight the man never came. i went the next evening to the facility and my informers told me the man had not come all day. now friday, i went over to feed the feral cats as i always do. this time i heard desperate meowing. i mean desperate. i freaked out totally. this is now 3 days that i know of this cat has been in 120-130 degree storage unit. as far as i could tell nobody ever came and THAT WAS FUCKING IT. i went home grabbed a cat carrier, cat food and a bottle of cold water too. i asked a friend to drive me back over because i was distraught. walked up to the unit and cut the padlock off. panicked meowing started as i opened the door... THERE WERE 9 CATS IN CAGES INSIDE THE UNIT ALL WITHOUT FOOD OR WATER. WERE IS THE WORKING WORD OF THAT SENTENCE BECAUSE ONE OF THEM WAS FUCKING DEAD. IT LOOKED LIKE HE TRIED SO HARD TO GET OUT OF THE UNIT HIS PAW WAS STUCK IN THE DOOR OF THE CAGE. i called the animal control officer, told them i cut the lock off the unit and what i had found. an hour later a palm springs police officer showed up. after i told him what i had done and found, he said and i quote verbatim, "its just a cat. there are lots of cats." i opened the gate for him and another officer had arrived as well. he interrogated me quite a bit then went inside the unit. apparently, they thought it was serious and the called the animal control officer to come. after double checking my information, because i broke the law by cutting off the lock and going in, "breaking and entering" the officer told me, "next time lora, call us. do not break into someones unit again." and said i was free to go. lora l. mattal read more
