I no longer have bath scrubbies, matching socks , or anything Lloyd deems his toy... I wake up at 4:30 for work and on my off days Lloyd assumes he gets fed at 4:30 so he screams till I relent and feed him. He loves being held and will lay in my arms for hours...Lloyd's foster told me it will take a special person to care for him because he needs tons of attention. He is exactly the perfect cat for us and I am pretty sure he feels the same way.

Proceed with caution. Something feels off with this organization…read more They took issue with the fact that my dog does not sleep in my bedroom, which struck me as extremely strange. Their expectations around how dogs should exist are overly rigid and disconnected from real-world pet ownership. They seem to confuse human preferences with canine behavior and fail to recognize that dogs can be healthy, secure, and well-adjusted without sharing a bedroom with their owner. Rather than focusing on whether a dog is genuinely loved, properly cared for, and well-trained, they appear to search for minor technicalities to disqualify potential adopters. That approach feels more judgmental than responsible. If you're considering adopting, I would recommend taking your time and exploring other organizations that prioritize the overall well-being of the dog over arbitrary rules. Spend your money and energy elsewhere

I do like them when they have a proper home and people who care about them. I went here with a friend of mine who lost his cat and wants to get another one. I was not expecting such a beautiful clean space with wonderful people taking care of these cats. It is so clean and the cats are so well cared for. The volunteers were amazing and it was a wonderful experience. My friend is hopefully going to volunteer here.

When we had questions on a certain cat, we asked a nice volunteer who gave us all the info on that cat. They were very good to walk around looking for people to help. I had been pre-approved on-line, so the check out was easy and fast. They even gave me a really nice carrier to take my new kitty home in. I am "now" a very happy cat owner "again" after being cat-less for 2 1/2 year. Thank you Hermitage for being so good to make sure the kitty and their person were going to be a good match........

I have to say that I'm puzzled by the review that described PAWSitively CATS as "depressing" with a…read morelack of space for cats and visitors. As someone who has volunteered there for over 15 years, I can attest that there are 3 separate large areas for different populations of cats (adoptable/sanctuary cats, Feline Leukemia cats, Special Needs/less than social cats) and each area typically houses between 20 and 30 felines. There are multiple rooms with screened in porches for the cats to enjoy, benches for visitors to sit on, and the only time I've seen the cats "swarm" is at the end of the day when cleaning is finished and they're expecting their treats. The post in question also claims that there is an online schedule of hours indicating that the shelter is only open to the public one day a week for 2 hours. I haven't been able to find that; instead hours are listed on Facebook as shown in the image I'm including. PAWSitively CATS is run by just a few staff members (some part time) and a few dozen dedicated volunteers. The cats are well cared for and happy.

I purchased Bagheera, an 11 year old Shire mare who was sold to me as "bomb proof". I paid what I…read morefeel is an extreme amount for a horse than turned out to be green and very unused to more advanced riding. She's scared of dogs, cars, trucks, mud, etc. She has zero knowledge on leg commands and does not know how to move her rear. Anytime someone puts leg pressure she begins to act out by throwing her head. If you use your boot heels lightly or have light spurs on and gently use them to get her attention, she rears and kicks. In thick brush of a creek bed she began to buck and kick about 6 feet into the air because of the brush hitting her (at least that's what I think happened because there wasn't any other issue I could see). She bucked and kicked quite a ways and rubbed me against a tree where I lost a stirrup and went down. I'm a widow who lost my husband in January. I have two teenage boys who are terrified of being orphaned. My son now has ptsd from seeing her come out of the thicket kicking about 6 feet into the air (his words) without me and having to run to find me thinking I was gone too. They knew my story and sold me a green inappropriately handled mare anyway. I gave them a chance to make the situation right but all they offered was to bring her back on my dime and get no refund. When I declined because my boys were attached to her already (this was before she went rodeo on me) I asked about a second at a discount price. That way I wouldn't feel taken advantage of with what I paid. Thus far they've declined. This doesn't even cover the fact that there's a good chance she has cushings because she's lactating NOR the fact that I asked for a vet health check and all they did was a coggins test and lied about getting a vet health clearance. So I have one mare I'm going to have to spend a lot of money on testing her for hormone issues, plus have to spend months for a professional trainer. I purchased my second from another place in hopes of more honesty and professionalism. I do not recommend.
