We dropped in to the Cornelius Animal Shelter today to donate some cat litter, treats and toys…read more When we lived in New York we worked closely with the local animal shelter and would foster sick cats and kittens through them until they were ready to go back to the shelter and get adopted. Our new place down here isn't big enough to handle fosters, but we still want to help out all those poor kitties. The shelter is set up to hold about sixty cats at a time (not sure how many dogs), though when we went there were under twenty of them. The cages are very spacious and clean which is important to not only the cat's health but to make them more "attractive" to prospective parents who drop in. There is also a nice little wooded area set aside as a dog walking trail, so there is a nice place where their dogs can get some exercise. The employee at the front desk was very friendly and appreciative of our donation. The location is a little off the beaten path but still worth visiting if you're looking to bring home a new family member. The cost to adopt a cat is $85 and it's $95 for a dog. I would highly recommend adopting over purchasing from a breeder or somewhere else.

I've grown up with kittens and adult cats my whole 39 years on this earth. As a child I went with…read moremy parents to the vet to take our cats (and dogs), witnessed our cat (that we had from the time I was Kindergarten-college) that got hit by a car when I was in the 4th grade and had to get his tail amputated. I wanted to adopt a kitten for my son and we checked out Princeton's Meow, it was filthy, it reeked of cat urine and feces. The lady with the short brown hair and glasses and almost every other person in there working were sneezing and sniffling the entire time and she seemed not to be able to form a complete sentence without stammering over herself because she didn't know anything about any of the cats we asked her about. There were boxes all over the floor that made it hard to get by to each room, that was a safety hazard. Some of the cats had sores on their noses as if they had been mis treated or neglected. I told them I'd be interested in declawing my cat like our old veterinarian and Petsmart did for us several times back in the early to late 90's and 2000's and so forth. This place began sending me harassing emails saying if I do that to a cat then xyz will happen. I told them to please leave me alone since they turned me down for adoption, but they continued to send me harassing emails from their agency. Then got an email from an "Alara Krown". I'm not sure if that's an alias or someone's actual name who works there. I then told her if they continued to email me then I'd report them for harassment. Next thing I know they send me an anonymous letter in the mail stating the same thing. That's not a good look. You already run a shady business with very weird hours, but you all continue to harass me?? You turned me down, so why continue to bother me? I don't want one of your old kittens anyway. I do however feel bad for them because of the improper way you all are treating them. Very unsanitary and harmful. Poor kitties.

I corresponded with Vanessa about 1 specific cats' personality before we drove the 2 hours to visit. She was a wealth of information as I used the chat box to correspond with her and ask questions from their facebook page. My husband and I visited and ended up adopting a lovely 5 yr and 8 yr old cat. There were sooo many friendly cats in the cageless (cats walking around rooms) atmosphere! Staff and volunteers were friendly to us and let us move easily throughout the building's rooms, checking cats out. We are in love with our 2, these two years later. I used to be a vet tech and as one reviewer wrote, I did see a few of the cats appear to have upper respiratory symptoms including the 8yr old I adopted, but having worked at an SPCA myself years ago, it's just one of those common things that happens when you have cats living in close quarters in most any cat shelter or rescue. It did not deter me nor phase me. Most of the cats looked just fine and were running and jumping about and playing with toys and engaging with us. We saw mostly adult cats that day. And the staff were great about knowing the cats histories and answering questions about their behavior. They knew their cats! I commend this rescue for what they offer these cats and we are thrilled with Bianca and Mya (original names from the rescue). They are delightful girls. And they are older, yes, which is what I was preferring as with older cats, 'what you see is what you get'. Plus, I was looking for more subdued cats who would do well with our senior dogs. We made out great with our 2 girls and I would go back to this rescue and adopt from them again, if we had the space or desire to do so. Both cats were spayed already and were current on vaccines. We took them home the same day we met them. We had been told to bring proof of rabies vaccines for our other pets, which we brought with us. It was an easy adoption process and I was very happy to pay the adoption fees for both, knowing the money would help other future cats.

The only reason I gave them 4 instead of 5 stars, is they take your pet to an exam room without you. You don't meet the vet or watch the exam. I was contacted by email with blood test results in under 24 hours. What makes this service amazing, is that it is a way to get basic services at a price I can afford. My vet wanted over $300 for Senior Annual Labs. The humane society charged me $130 for labs and a heartworm test.

They all just got spayed/neutered and were awaiting pick up for their new homes. A lot of the big dogs too. They were only about 4 available dogs. I got there about 3pm and also saw people leaving the clinic side of the building with their cone head dogs too. This makes my heart so happy. This place is doing wonderful things and making magic. They had adorable cats too, well 1 cat and about 6 kittens. ‍ also noticed they had a cat cafe but I didn't see a espresso machine and I only saw 1 cat. I don't know if it's only open certain hours but that's a wonderful idea. The sign said tea also so I hope they're able to get that going and they make need a volunteer for the cafe. Or a book club and other groups to visit! Wink wink

I would not recommend this vet at all if you reside in Cornelius. The staff from the front desk to…read morethe vets are not very friendly or personable. I have brought my three cats and four-month-old puppy here, and they almost seem like they are not animal lovers. Due to the uncomfortable nature of their customer service, having to follow up on unanswered emails after multiple business days, lackluster record creation, over-priced care, the disconnection between the staff and my pets, and the following two occurrences, I will no longer return to this vet. 1. We recently got my puppy, and his previous owners had not done the best job at house training, leash walking, or outside behavior. We immediately started training on dropping objects, as when we went outside, he would eat everything on the ground. This includes objects deadly to dogs like gum, plastics, and metals. I researched to see what vets have recommended in situations like this. People have been professionally advised and found great success in using face guards, to keep their dogs from ingesting unwanted objects. I decided to use one to keep my puppy safe, especially in times when I know we would not be able to get to him soon enough. Many pet parents finally found peace after spending years and thousands on vet bills for dogs that swallowed inedible objects. When my puppy had this mask on while entering the vet, a veterinarian grilled my boyfriend in front of the lobby asking why our dog has a muzzle on and how it isn't okay to leave it on them in times when they are in a crate. The insinuation that we would do this is bewildering. The comments were extremely unnecessary and could have been simply explained in a respectful conversation. Assuming what we do at home and attempting to publicly shame a customer over a made-up idea instead of just asking for the purpose is the same social stigma that leads people to not use face masks....and have their dog eat trash on the sidewalk....and then end up at the vet. So, I guess it actually makes sense that they would prefer my dog to eat something he shouldn't for the extra couple thousand they would have in their pockets. 2. Secondly, the incompetence of the staff here is why I ultimately decided against this business. After my initial visit with my puppy, he received all of his regular vaccines and needed to return for one DHPP booster. I am wanting to get him signed up for daycare asap, so I followed up with Animal Hospital of Cornelius to see exactly when my dog can get this booster. They responded by asking for paperwork with his DOB, which I already previously provided weeks before. They said after he turns 16 weeks, he can receive the booster. I set the daycare up for him after that, and followed up with the vet 4 days later asking what time I can come in. This vet's response was that they made an error while reviewing the records and my dog actually needs two more boosters instead of one. That was fine. I canceled the daycare, waited until he turned 16 weeks, and got the first vaccine. I now had to wait a month until he could get his second (final) booster to start daycare. I waited the month, which leads me to today where me and my boyfriend took time off of work to take my dog for his last booster. We walk in and the front desk looks like they want to quit their job per usual. We wait for a second in the lobby (even though they call this a walk-in appointment), just for a vet to come out (Kinzey K.) and say that they made an error...again. She barely greets us and doesn't even look at our dog. She looked like she just wanted us to leave the entire exchange. Probably because her Chili's door dash was waiting for her outside. She said that they looked at the records incorrectly and my dog actually only needed one booster. Meaning he was already fully vaccinated over a month ago.... I explained to her that we were told there was an error initially that triggered them realizing he needs 2 and not 1. She said she is aware, but repeated that just needed 1. I took time off work and have had to go back and forth with his day care and insurance people for literally no reason. That is not only frustrating, but this scenario could have been potentially dangerous to my dog's health due to them almost double vaccinating him with a vaccine he did not need. In all, this vet was overall a horrible experience and they do not seem to care about you or your dog. The customer treatment and poor record keeping is ridiculous. I also don't know how safe it is to be sending large quantities of Chili's to a vet practice where people's animals are. A good cue to if a vet practice is one you actually want to support and commit to is if they attempt to sell you the most expensive flea and tick medicine, and don't inform you about all your options. This is one of the vets that will just try to immediately sell you the most expensive product and then send you on your way.
