We adopted a kitten and a cat this past April. Initially, a mix-up existed as the paperwork of the…read moretwo tuxedo kittens/cats was incorrect. Fortunately, they scanned the microchips and corrected the error. We are repeat adopters, with a history of four cats adopted over the years. :-) The normal procedure (according to the adoption paperwork and online) is to fully register the microchips at www.petlink.com and I can then add a photograph to the listing and take advantage of the "extras" should anything happen with our cats. I checked the registrations so I could add the photographs. I was surprised to learn that their microchips were not in the system and I immediately registered both, but at the basic level. I telephoned Noah's Ark and spoke to Madison on the first Saturday of June to ask if they could upgrade the listings (as was done with the other four cats). She stated she would look into it and telephone on the upcoming Tuesday. Nothing. I emailed Brook describing what had happened but received no response. The email did not bounce so I believe she received it. Lastly, I telephoned Noah's Ark the first week of July and asked to speak with Stephanie, the manager. She was not in, but Marsha (the office manager) told me to telephone today (July 15) and ask for Brooke. Why? I have been ghosted more than once and we adopted multiple cats (all have worked out well). The correct (and professional) way to handle my call was to take a message or advise as to best date and time to call back to ensure reaching Stephanie. We also donated a great amount of dog supplies, food, and cat food. It would not have taken much to upgrade the microchip registrations to the Premium Lifetime Level. I am retired and only want what was promised in the contract.

They responded to all my emails immediately, answered all my questions thoroughly, checked out all my references, and were just excited to meet me as I was to meet my new cat when it was finally time to adopt! All the cats are spayed/neutered, up to date on shots/ heartworm prevention, and tested for FeLV. Plus, you get all of your new cat's paperwork, and if you adopt the cat during one of the days when PetsMart is hosting them, you also end up getting a $25 credit that you can put towards anything in the store. Such a good deal! An added bonus was that 2 months ago I emailled Petropolis to find out if any of Mugi's old foster parents had any baby pictures of him, and I was sent about 25 pictures of him as a teensy little kitten within hours!
