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.

If there was one word to describe this shelter, it would be: Depressing…read more My visit to Pawsitively Cats genuinely was an experience I never want to feel again. I am someone who ADORES cats, the type of person that will take in a stray and rearrange my whole life to care for them until their last breath. My love is so great that it pains me to see these adoptable cats living in such an uninviting space. This shelter is open to the public one day a week for TWO HOURS. I thought it was an error when I saw that schedule online, but it's true. Upon entering, the building is flooded with adoptees, and for a cat lover you'd think that'd be a dream, but instead of excitement I felt a wave of anxiety. This shelter has dim lighting that doesn't allow you to see the cats clearly, and there's no space to really connect with any of them. There didn't seem like any sort of organization to pinpoint which cat was which, and since a lot of cats do look alike, you could only hope the one you bonded with is the same one you're adopting. As I tip-toed around the cats to look at the ones in cages (for medical or behavioral purposes), I could just sense the discomfort in their eyes. Safety measures seemed nonexistent in this place; anyone could easily step on a cat's paw or trip with how many swarm around you. The worst part was when I had a tour of a backroom where countless cats were fighting for a spot to feel the fresh air from a screen window. It was like looking at a can of sardines; I can't imagine any cat could present their best selves under these circumstances. Not only is there an extremely limited window to visit this shelter, but when you do, it makes you feel unhappy being there. You'll feel just as cramped and exposed as these poor babies.This situation could be the incentive for more people to adopt here, but I don't think that's fair on either side. The cats don't have any room to get to know their future owner, nor will they behave calmly when they're fighting for the spotlight. As for visitors, they'll feel more inclined to rescue the cats out of pity more than genuine connection. I wouldn't recommend anyone coming here, but then again, I almost wish you do come to decrease the population inside the shelter. I advise those who run Pawsitively Cats to work on expanding their business; a huge reconstruction of the place so there's more room for cats to live comfortably side-by-side. I am aware that there may be financial concerns involving this, so in that case, I'd suggest relocating these cats somewhere that can better cater to their needs. I'd rather that than have those innocent fur babies trapped in a dark and bleak shelter any longer. I understand that this shelter was built out of love for animals, I truly do, but for the sake of their wellbeing, Pawsitively Cats must improve. If not, people will not be inclined to help out, and the cats will be in no state to become someone's lifelong friend.

He needed eye removal surgery along with some dental work so a month later I took him for that. Before I get ahead of myself, he also has some sneezing fits which they gave me medication for before his surgery which it seemed to work. They did blood work three separate times while he was under their care. Fast forward to taking him in for a pre adoption appointment in November 2025, they gave him the all clear, saying he was in good health and he may just need more dental work in the future which no big deal because they set me up with Fetch pet insurance. The agent setting up his insurance account informed me all of his teeth would be covered and if he needed special food in the future that would be covered too. It also sounded like a good deal because they are the only insurance that covers pre existing conditions that shelter animals typically would have throughout their lives in the shelter or on the streets. Cool. One month later, December 2025, he had sneezing fits again so we took him to friends of Pacc clinic because Pacc recommended them to us to use after adopting him. They diagnosed him with herpesvirus, didn't even take blood work or run tests to confirm it, gave me medicine for him. It had been a week and he was getting worse so I took him to another vet for a second opinion. This was earlier this month January 2026. Good thing I did because I found out he has calisivirus, mycoplasma virus, kidney dysfunction, and is severely anemic and needs to go to the ER asap to get a transfusion. I've already spent near 1 grand on medication and vet visits, now I'm going to spend who knows how much on a transfusion he needs to live. How could they not have caught all of this at Pacc with the amount of tests they ran on him, I'm very annoyed and angry, I feel like they withheld this information from me or they were cutting corners there. I want justice for my cat for their lack of care for him and for myself financially and the emotional toll this has taken on me. Also, the agent at Pacc that set up my insurance for him put his age at start of insurance as 4 instead of 12. So the "great deal" on insurance I thought I was paying was all a lie. After submitting all my recent vet expenses for my cat, I discovered this major error and had to report it and I was charged a pretty penny of back pay along with a hefty increase in my monthly payment. Extremely disappointed. I also called the insurance to ask about the prescription food coverage he needs for his kidneys and they said the agent at Pacc misinformed me and his food will not be covered. So I just had to pay almost 60$ for only 24 cans of food that will only last me a month. They need to not be giving out false information and have some more competence when it comes to filling out insurance forms. How do you put 4 instead of 12. I could understand maybe putting 2 instead of 12 due to just simply missing a single number, but 4?! The only reason I'm giving the extra Star is because the over all staff of volunteers there are incredible. The people who aren't getting paid by Pacc, who show up to volunteer, those are the people that make that place even worth going to. Never going to Pacc again. It's so sad that so many animals are there that need homes and so many people go there and think they are getting the best care but they aren't getting the full disclosure on their animals health. It's not just me too, I've heard other stories from people fostering and adopting through them as well, one of them being a kitten with ringworm, they weren't told he had ringworm and they ended up needing to get rid of their couch and all their kids stuffed animals and spent a lot of time cleaning their whole house only for it to come back three other times. They need to be honest with people so they can decide whether they can take in the animal financially and if their home is equipped to handle them. Please if you decide to go to Pacc, please please please make them do a recent medical evaluation with blood tests and any other tests you think they need especially if it's an older animal.

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

Appointments are for one hour, but I am not sure that they monitor the length of stay. The price has gone up since last year. Now it is $14 a person. And extra to purchase snacks to give the cats. I don't mind paying a fee for entrance. They have rent to pay and of course cats to take care of. There are three floors/areas to engage with the cats. This time time the lofted kitten space did not have kittens. We choose not to have pets at home, but love animals and want to expose our daughter to different animals and environments. So to that end, it's a decent activity that can teach kids how to interact with animals/cats. Unfortunately, as we prepared to leave, we took our daughter to the bathroom to wash her hands, and it was absolutely foul in there. The trash can was overflowing with paper, the toilet was filthy on the exterior and the interior, with an incomplete #2 flush. My husband walked in before I did and was already washing hands, I followed behind. He immediately warned me to hold my breath, which I did. But our poor 2.5 year doesn't know how to do that yet. The front desk attendants response when I let her know there was a problem was that they have issues with that bathroom. A bathroom should be kept tidy and it's the businesses responsibility to make rounds to ensure it is well maintained for customers during business hours. It is also their responsibility to ensure that their bathrooms are functional. So if it's a "problem" bathroom, they should invest in hiring a plumber to fix it and/or replace the toilet. I personally can't overlook the lack of hygiene, so we'll have to cuddle with kitties elsewhere.

We found Camino Verde Pet Resort 2 - 3 years ago. The kennel we had used for years closed during…read morethe pandemic, and I was beginning to think I was never going to find another kennel where I felt comfortable boarding our two dogs. We adopted the dogs from a local rescue group, and while they are generally well-behaved, they have a few personality quirks as a result of mistreatment before they were removed from their original home. In particular, one dog has a tendency to be a little fear aggressive, and they are both a little slow to adapt to new situations. I thus was looking for a kennel staffed by people who understand dogs and are willing to be patient while the dogs work through the process of settling in to a new situation. It seemed like every kennel I looked at had at least one or two horror story reviews of dogs being seriously injured, lost, and even a few where the dog died while being boarded. When I read Camino Verde's reviews, however, the worst thing I saw was that some people were quite upset that their dog came home with fleas. Well, duh, that is going to happen when your dog is in close quarters with other dogs and you haven't used any flea and tick preventative. Before we boarded our dogs the first time, we went and visited the kennel, and we were very impressed with what we saw. All the dogs seemed happy, well-cared for, and had plenty of fresh water. All the cages were clean. We have boarded our dogs at Camino Verde a number of times over the past 2 -3 years, and the dogs have always been happy and well-adjusted when we pick them up. I highly recommend this kennel. The staff have been great about dealing with our dogs, and their online reservation system is very user friendly.
