I had a beyond expectation experience with Mindy and her daughter, even though at the end I didn't…read morechoose to go with the adorable and sweet boys Teddy and Khabib they brought for me to meet and interact with. Mindy provided a very personable, warm and extremely responsive service, made every effort to respond to my inquiry on Adopt-A-Pet and approving my application as well as just answering my questions and chatting with me about my potential cat baby's personality traits and his background story. She responded to emails as late as 11PM on a weekend and her demeanor was always welcoming and reassuring, like an old, caring friend. Mindy's words and actions convey that she truly truly love all of her rescued cat babies and she only wants what's best for them and she works extremely hard to find them good homes. I was very sad that neither cat babies from her rescue matched the particular personality I was looking for (I was trying to fill this big hole in my heart with the tragic loss of a stray cat named Cookie I cared for) and I really wished that given all the hard work she and her daughter put into, I'd adopt either Teddy or Khabib. Despite these big, affectionate sweet boys were not the best match I was searching for, I don't think any less of them, I sincerely hope they will find their forever home they deserve and I cannot be more grateful for Mindy's time, patience and understanding she's extended me and my family. If I had more capacity for an additional cat baby in the future after finding THE ONE, Mindy and her rescue is the first place I'd check out. If you are also searching for your feline soulmate, please look no further!!

Never heard back from them and we were ready to adopt immediately. Both myself and my daughter…read morecalled, (the "are too busy to care for kitties AND answer the phone, so please send a text"), so we texted, created an account online (because they want to know you're "actually serious" about adopting before you can even MEET the cat you're considering adopting.) (I do understand and respect prioritizing the mental health of the cats, but I'm sure the cats, especially the adults, would prefer a compromise, like being required to fill out a one page form on the spot before meeting). Every serious adopter that goes into a pet store and sees one of this organization's animals that they are interested in adopting and is told they have to go through this and this and this step before they can even interact with the cat and know if the personality is a fit. Everyone loses out. In my experience, even if you do go through all the steps, they won't call you back, and a cat that could have had a home I know had that opportunity taken from them because of the seemingly righteous or superior attitude of the rescue people. They surely know how many people go in and out of those cat and kitten rooms at the Animal Friends of the Valley shelter. Having a few people go in one at a time to meet one particular cat, I don't feel, is any more dangerous or unhealthy for the cat than them losing the opportunity to be adopted and eventually being put down. I just don't understand rescues like this. If you're too small to actually help, then let somebody else do it.

This is the truth and I'm ashamed for this location. I have been to a few of these free commodities locations and this one has got to be helped themselves. The commodities they share are 80 percent out dated items that you should have left in the dumpster. The other items are for sale anywhere from a dollar to five dollars and some of them for sale are from the day before that were given away for free. They should reconsider what they are giving to the needy. If the items were any good they probably take them home for their families. This parent company should re-examine how this annex is representing them to the community.

I used to work here and let me tell you, this place is crazy…read more Here are some things that occur regularly at the store: * All the good stuff, I'm talking about the actual good donations, are held by the staff working in the back and are either taken home that same day or are stashed for the employee shopping day. * All the employees are either high or drunk. It does make the day go by faster. * Some things are purposely priced high just to meet the pricing quota. * If an employee did not feel like taking in a donation, they would just tell the customer that the store was full. I don't blame them though, some people would donate literal trash. * Customers steal all the time. Just place it in your bag and walk out. The manager or key holder might announce on the speaker that they are doing a security scan just to scare you, but honestly, as long as you don't look homeless, you can easily steal. * Whenever a customer would ask for the price of an item, it would be repriced higher just to make the customer mad. The reason for this is because the majority of the time the customer would purposely peel off the sticker with hopes of getting a lower price. Would definitely work here again if provided the opportunity.

You are sometimes better off going to DD's and purchasing brand new. I have never been to a location that had a tag that said OfferUp on the price tag.

It's also interesting to hear employees discuss the retail price of an item because they looked it up using their phone and then put a higher price tag on it.
