This place absolutely sucks. Not the animals, the people. My fiance and I went to adopt a kitten, and had so many choices to choose from. We spent nearly an hour in the three houses that they had dedicated to kittens alone. In fact, they had SO many kittens, they were running a ""buy one get one free sale"" on them as if they were shoes or something. We decided to get two and headed to the adoption center to fill out the paperwork. That is where the trouble started. The.. girl that helped us was extremely condescending, so much so that I believe she likes animals more than people, which is great to a point. And what a lovely soul to be so caring and blah blah blah. Regardless, after walking us through everything, she found out that we were holding onto a puppy for someone who was out of town for a week. She then proceeded to drill us on the care of the animal, the history of shots and all of that, which we didn't really know since we were only sitting for him, not keeping him. Either way, we didn't think it mattered as the puppy stays outside, and the kitten will be a solely indoor animal. Eventually, it became clear that we weren't going to be able to adopt the kittens until we could prove that the puppy had be ""adequately taken care of"" shot wise. A month and a half later, we were still looking for a kitten, so we decided to go back. They were still running the buy one get one special (again, these are animals, not shoes) and once again we were up against the condescending animal snob in the office. ""Luckily"" for us, she rembebered who we were and the first words out o her mouth was ""did you do as i asked and get the shots or that poor puppy in your care?"" WE said, no, the puppy wasn't ours so it wasn't our job. Also, we haven't had him in our care for over a month, once again, we were just sitting for the puppy, not claiming ownership. She then went to talk to her manager for about five minutes, and came back and told us that we couldn't adopt a kitten as we clearly weren't suitable candidates, and ""the thing is....you can't get rid of one pet because you want to adopt a different one, that isn't how we do things here. How do we know you won't get rid of these poor kittens down the line in order to adopt something else?"" We just left, and we are definitely not going back. No wonder they have so many animals stuck there i you have to go through that witch in order to adopt anything. We ended up just getting a kitten for free on Craigslist.
