Never heard back from them and we were ready to adopt immediately. Both myself and my daughter…read morecalled, (the "are too busy to care for kitties AND answer the phone, so please send a text"), so we texted, created an account online (because they want to know you're "actually serious" about adopting before you can even MEET the cat you're considering adopting.) (I do understand and respect prioritizing the mental health of the cats, but I'm sure the cats, especially the adults, would prefer a compromise, like being required to fill out a one page form on the spot before meeting). Every serious adopter that goes into a pet store and sees one of this organization's animals that they are interested in adopting and is told they have to go through this and this and this step before they can even interact with the cat and know if the personality is a fit. Everyone loses out. In my experience, even if you do go through all the steps, they won't call you back, and a cat that could have had a home I know had that opportunity taken from them because of the seemingly righteous or superior attitude of the rescue people. They surely know how many people go in and out of those cat and kitten rooms at the Animal Friends of the Valley shelter. Having a few people go in one at a time to meet one particular cat, I don't feel, is any more dangerous or unhealthy for the cat than them losing the opportunity to be adopted and eventually being put down. I just don't understand rescues like this. If you're too small to actually help, then let somebody else do it.

I had a beyond expectation experience with Mindy and her daughter, even though at the end I didn't…read morechoose to go with the adorable and sweet boys Teddy and Khabib they brought for me to meet and interact with. Mindy provided a very personable, warm and extremely responsive service, made every effort to respond to my inquiry on Adopt-A-Pet and approving my application as well as just answering my questions and chatting with me about my potential cat baby's personality traits and his background story. She responded to emails as late as 11PM on a weekend and her demeanor was always welcoming and reassuring, like an old, caring friend. Mindy's words and actions convey that she truly truly love all of her rescued cat babies and she only wants what's best for them and she works extremely hard to find them good homes. I was very sad that neither cat babies from her rescue matched the particular personality I was looking for (I was trying to fill this big hole in my heart with the tragic loss of a stray cat named Cookie I cared for) and I really wished that given all the hard work she and her daughter put into, I'd adopt either Teddy or Khabib. Despite these big, affectionate sweet boys were not the best match I was searching for, I don't think any less of them, I sincerely hope they will find their forever home they deserve and I cannot be more grateful for Mindy's time, patience and understanding she's extended me and my family. If I had more capacity for an additional cat baby in the future after finding THE ONE, Mindy and her rescue is the first place I'd check out. If you are also searching for your feline soulmate, please look no further!!

Everything went so well she was in minimal discomfort after surgery, her incision healed beautifully.The cherry on top of the experience is the over 1000 dollars I saved by bringing her here instead of the local Vet that quoted me a starting price of 1300 dollars because she is a brachiocephalic breed and could have gone up because they said if challenges arose they could not guarantee the price. So all that to say nothing like that happened here she is happy and so are we.

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the customer service at this location. They are rude and give you attitude for simply being there. Almost as if you "the customer" are an inconvenience to them when in fact, they are there to help you and your pet. I called today to get a copy of my original prescription written for NEXGUARD (flea and tick), I provided medication name and the quantity as previously listed on the prescription they have on their end.. I called at 3:45pm and the girl took everything down, told me I would get a call within 24 hrs to go pick it up. Shortly after at 4:24pm (5 minutes before they close) I get a call which I am unable to answer due to work with a voicemail stating they need the medication information and quantity (for how long). I attached images of both calls and the voicemail a worker left me as documented proof. These little details and simple requests should not be this tedious, it is very disheartening to see and hear those girls be rude and dismissive of one's request. I know this will not rectify the situation but I write this in hopes that this does not keep happening in the future.

This is the truth and I'm ashamed for this location. I have been to a few of these free commodities locations and this one has got to be helped themselves.

The other items are for sale anywhere from a dollar to five dollars and some of them for sale are from the day before that were given away for free. They should reconsider what they are giving to the needy. If the items were any good they probably take them home for their families. This parent company should re-examine how this annex is representing them to the community.

The WildHaven Ranch is a hidden gem in the forest communities…read more If I were to describe this place, it is a wild life rescue and refuge for animals that cannot be returned back into the wild. The privilege of visiting this and the education one receives while observing the animals is far different than the experience at a zoo or amusement park. The people that run this place are NOT entertainers. They have a passion and a love for the animals they care for and it is evident in their enthusiasm and dedication. This is a wild life refuge and a great educational experience for anyone who takes the time to visit. The staff have a lot to share. Your admission cost goes toward the care and feeding of these wonderful creatures which would otherwise have perished in the wild. There are Reptiles, Coyotes, Bears, Bobcats, Raccoons, Bald Eagles, Turkey Vultures, and a magnificent Golden Eagle in their care. These magnificent animals can be observed up close where they can be appreciated. Keep in mind that the price of admission is not for profit but instead goes towards operational costs of care and feeding of these amazing creatures. Make reservations because space is limited and the staff is dedicated to provide visitors with the best and most informative experience which will increase every visitors appreciation for the creatures that live around us. They cannot take unplanned walk-in visitors. Special Note: To locate this place, pay careful attention to the directions on their website. Your GPS will NOT accurately guide you to this location. They have an alternate location that the GPS will find. Then follow the signs to the entrance to the refuge compound.
