This adoption agency has you fill out an application for one animal, then they ask to see photos of your home, and other personal information before they'll even confirm whether or not the advertised animal is actually available. I asked them to verify that the animal I was sending them my personal information was actually available or not because I don't want some random people to have pictures of the insides of my home, my address, my lease agreements, etc... because ya know, that's a pretty normal concern. All of this happening within 12 hours from start to finish. The final response I got was "if you had sent us the information we requested you could have had him, but he's been adopted." That's fine, a little passive aggressive, but fine cat gets a home that's all that matters. But they're still advertising him as available.
This sounds like a bait and switch organization to me. One that takes your personal information, either offers you a different animal, or just straight up sells your personal info.
Since it's a non profit, I have also filed a complaint with and reached out to the California OAG who thankfully is a colleague from years past!
Beware of this organization. read more
