We are on our own. This has become more and more evident as…read morewe see APD just not handling calls seriously. When someone calls regarding an issue it is serious and should not be taken lightly. Hence, put down your coffee and donut and check out the complaint in person. Find out what is going on. Talk to the parties involved in person not by a phone call. Show up in person. It's amazing the impact an officer at your door has. There is no way to investigate via phone calls. I know, I know dealing with people face to face can be confrontational but that's your job. And if someone needs to be detained then cuff them and haul them off. And if you the police don't intevene in conflicts, the peeps will, and it more than likely is not going to turn out well. I'm not sure when the shift happened but it did. Not too long ago Alameda Police would be showing up promptly, banging on doors, and getting problems solved. Not any more. Not sure if it's part of this upside-down 'criminals and other troublemakers are the victims' mentality, or what. But there has definitely been a shift in how things are handled. I do see a lot of police presence at South Shore though. And there is a lot of crime there but we have criminals and troublemakers in the residential areas also that need to be dealt with. Don't get me wrong. I'm a huge supporter of the police. I have multiple friends on the force in different cities and counties so this isn't random cop bashing. But from what I've seen, APD has abandoned their responsibilities to the law abiding citizens of Alameda and that needs to change now.

I had an excellent experience with Acme Fire! From start to finish, their customer service was top…read moretier. Sarra truly went above and beyond to support Imani Community Church and make sure our fire extinguishers were fully up to code. I called in the morning and sent our extinguishers over with a courier. Sarra made sure everything was received, serviced quickly, and then personally coordinated getting them packed up and handed off to another courier for return. What really stood out was how seamless and fast the whole process was--I had everything back before lunchtime the same day. That level of efficiency, care, and professionalism is rare. I'm really grateful for the support and would absolutely recommend Acme Fire to anyone looking for reliable and timely service.

Super quick to service our two extinguishers. No hassle and professional. Will come back again.read more

Can't beat the customer service and response time with Eric and his team. Thank you for helping in a stressful situation.

I recently started fostering a bunny for OAS and they are really wonderful. The folks working and…read morevolunteering there care so much about animals and put a lot of effort in to getting them in to foster homes and adopted. For example they have instagram pages for the senior dogs and the rabbits to help promote them more. Please consider fostering or adopting from OAS! And please know that the crisis of animals in needs is not the fault of rescues and shelters, it's the fault of breeders and buyers who keep exploiting animals for profit. As the saying goes "don't breed or buy, while shelter animals die" Separately from fostering, I do mutual aid with some unhoused folks and their dogs. One friends dog who I had gotten spayed ended up getting hit by a car and thankfully OAS received her body and was able to contact us so that her guardian could have closure and we could honor her life properly. It's not an easy job that OAS is doing, but they are saving lives in an ongoing crisis of abused and unwanted animals.

UPDATE as of 2/4/25…read more Keea's Test Results came back from the lab in New York. " Very Strong Positive " for Bartonella aka Cat Scratch Disease. Bartonella in Cats Transmission: Spread among cats primarily by the cat flea (Ctenocephalides Felis). Symptoms: Most infected cats show no signs of illness, acting as carriers. In rare cases, they may experience temporary fever, lethargy, or swollen lymph nodes, particularly if stressed or immunocompromised. It is CONTAGIOUS and they must be kept away from other animals and for humans you must not let them scratch you. Cat Scratch Fever (Disease) in Humans Symptoms: Develops 1-3 weeks after a scratch or bite, typically causing a small, red bump at the site, followed by swollen, tender lymph nodes, fever, headache, and fatigue. Severity: Usually mild and self-limiting in healthy people, though it can cause serious complications (heart or neurological issues) in those with weak immune systems. Bartonella can also cause severe, chronic inflammation in cats leading to eye issues and, in some cases, blindness, as well as neurological symptoms which would explain Keea's eye issues and the fact she has trouble using back legs. Hopefully whoever adopted Gramps (who was in the same room as her) will see this. TREATMENT - 5 weeks of Doxycycline. The cat must initially be treated for 4 weeks and if they test negative after 4 weeks be treated that extra 5th week as a safety precaution. Again if you have other pets, children etc PLEASE keep away. Protect yourself and wear gloves if the cat is a risk of scratching you when medicating. Also if you see the white third eyelid this means the cat is dehydrated and must be given IV Fluid's immediately.
