Although my little one would rather spend eternity with me, he has a pretty good time here. It's a very large facility with day care, overnight boarding, grooming, veterinary care. They treat Rocco (my dog) as if he was a child. When i call to arrange for day care they tape his picture up on the "now playing" wall. So cute! At the end of the day they give me his daily report card. They let me know who he played with and who took care of him. I don't have any children, and this is such a special way to make me feel like a mom. I don't usually call to make a day care reservation until the morning of. It has never been a problem. They welcome Rocco with open arms. It's the little things that help make me feel secure with my decision to keep going back to Village Gate

Extra touches to keep your home tidy, mail retrieval, and lights on/off to make it look like someone is home are just a few of the things that Tiffany and her company have done without even being asked. I have always received a report about what my fur-babies did while I was gone, how they ate and how they behaved. I would never dream of leaving my pups at a kennel or clinic when this option is available. They get to stay at home and unstressed while a trustworthy and caring professional comes to watch your home and your pets while you are busy. Anyone who is in need of this service would be lucky to find Friends of the Family.

Due to our cat of 9.5 year's sudden passing we were recently looking for a new kitten/cat to fill…read morethe big cat shoes that were left behind. My wife and I visited Colony Cats, Cat Welfare, and Cozy Cat Cottage to name a few. With all of the wonderful potential fur kids we saw we didn't see the one that we just connected with. We decided to go to Pets Without Parents as it was a rescue that we had not been to before and it was just down Indianola from our house. We had no expectations when we went to PWP other than we knew that they were a smaller rescue that was located in an older house. When we walked in we were pleasantly greeted by a volunteer and showed where the hand sanitizer (so that we could clean our hands between kitties). The individual who greeted us was figuratively knee deep in cleaning dog cages but, she was friendly and responsive when we had questions. There, in the center cage on the bottom was this beautiful kitten! Both of our hearts melted when we saw him, as he was nearly the spitting image of the cat we had just lost. The individual working the shelter that day let us know that those two kittens were meant to be picked up today by the person that was adopting them. Our hearts collectively dropped as then we knew that of the cats at PWP, these were the ones that we shouldn't get attached. We petted all the cats that we could, well save the brand new box of feral kittens! I am sure that in no time they'll be adoptable little fluffs! Despite not seeing a cat/kitten we connected to we decided to put in an application. The application was very similar to others you might see when adoption a new animals. Asked for references, job information, current pet information, veterinary contact, as well as things the adopter's view on declawing. Much to my surprise I received a call the very next day from the PWP shelter manager! I thought that the call may have been to clarify the application we had submitted but, it was not. The adoption on the beautiful kitten (that was meant to go home the day before) had fallen through. They wanted to know if we would like to come meet the little we had seen the day before. We quickly (and gleefully) went back to PWP to officially meet & pet this kitten. Cat carrier in tow, of course, just in case! If you adopt through PWP you get a wellness check up card for use at the vet where the animal has received their vaccines & spay/neuter. We took this offer so that we could get our new little friend checked out before we established him at our vet. This was great as he had a cold (that they were treating him for) and we were able to proceed to the next step in treatment, an antibiotic shot to help knock out the remainder of the kitty cold. The adoption contract at PWP is more heavily worded than others might be. There is a provision in it where if the contract is broken that PWP can seek money from the adopter who has broken the contract. It seems to me that this is included to bring home the gravity that is the responsibility of adopting a furkid. Oh, and I can verify that the folks at PWP do check references, which is great since they are working to place pets in well suited homes. P.S. Pets Without Parents is loud. With the pupsters looking for a new home in the adjacent room, any kitten/cat adopted from these guys will likely be a-okay with loud sounds and barking dogs. Train tracks also run right next door to the rescue. P.P.S. Our new kitten is fitting in purrfectly at home.

But WOW this vet is so expensive! Expect to spend at least 2-3 hours here on just a routine appointment, and also don't expect to leave here without spending at least $300-$400 per pet. I do love the expertise, care and compassion that comes with this vet, but it is a very expensive place to go. I have considered going to a different veterinarian, but if you Google each of the procedures & services and national averages for those costs, and they are within the national averages. I think pet care is just very expensive!! I like that this vet office is a converted house, each of the examination rooms are very cute.

Spooky Boo was abondoned by her owners of 14 years in January when they moved and left her in the house they sold. Wife had developed some allergies and if the new owners didn't want her, they were going to put her to sleep!!! She was left alone for a month, but a cat rescue took Boo and I adopted her less than a month ago. I was worried about leaving her at a vet but had no choice with my apartment being sprayed. Boo was well cared for and comforted thru the day. Had a cat bed and when Boo hid under it, the staff knew it was the noise of other pets and let her hide. She was feed the food I left. Boo purred at every one she met I was told. When I explained that I am leary about shots for cats over age 10, I was told the vet understood and once they saw Boo's records, none were asked for. In fact, I was told nothing was needed until next year. No special food was suggested, unlike other vets I have been in the past. I am very happy to find a good vet so close to my apartment in my new city.
