    We adopt Mr. Lane back in 2019. We randomly came in to Petco in Buena Park to see the cats. You know you never just "see" cats. Mr. Lane was chilling with another cat. The moment we locked eyes with Mr. Lane we knew he was our boy. We went to bank quickly and also purchased a cage from the local swap meet. At the time, they provided us with a free check up at the vet they worked with. When we took Mr. Lane they noticed he had a gum problem and needed all this teeth removed. We contacted MeoowzResQ and they provided us a voucher for surgery. Mr Lane has been living happily since.

    Daffney when we first saw her at the rescue

    This is a long overdue review for this place - my girlfriend and I adopted a young adult cat from this rescue a year ago and the experience after adopting was a huge headache (especially for my girlfriend). There were two ladies who helped us that day - Karen & another lady I cannot remember the name of. They were sweet ladies that were very friendly with letting us see the cats outside of their cages. They mostly had knowledge of the cats they took care of themselves so they tried their best to answer your questions about the cats. The cat we ended up adopting was named Daffney at the time - she was super confident and loved people which was accurate to her description. But the foster told us information that turned to be false after we took her home. The foster noted Daffney did NOT like to play and just wanted lap time - but after a few weeks we noticed she loooved to play with the wand toy. The rescue did not tell us that the cat had fleas and worms when we first adopted her. We had to go through the process of getting her healthy again which was very sad to see since Daffney was losing fur around her ears from excessive scratching. My girlfriend would reach out to the rescue's email about when the microchip would get registered to us and eventually they just stopped responding to us...until MONTHS later suddenly her chip got updated. We did not like our experience with this rescue and after seeing other reviews we can agree this organization is not that great with responding. But we are very happy with our cat and happy to give her a nice warm & loving home. The rescue were the ones who suggested us Daffney because the original cat we considered was already adopted. We are happy to have saved a cat's life from the rescue but we cannot recommend the rescue itself. Hope the kitties here can find loving homes.

    Really great rescue, I adopted a sweet baby kitty from them. I'd recommend adopting from Meoowzresq, the process was smooth and I had a situation come up and they were able to help. Very pleased with them.

    Some of the foster kitties waiting for adoption

    I have fostered over 300 cats and kittens for MeoowzresQ over six years. I have run adoption events in Irvine, Fountain Valley and Huntington Beach. The rescue's policy was always to place HEALTHY kittens. The adopter got a voucher for a free vet exam. If a health issue existed, MeoowzresQ provided meds or vet care, or offered to take back the kitty. While I cannot answer for the behavior of volunteering individuals at other events, I never forced somebody to take two kittens but recommended it because it is better for kittens. There were also cases where certain kittens were bonded and it was made clear from the start that they needed to go together. There will always be people who complain. With over 2000 adoptions a year, the rescue does their best for fosters, adopters and cats. I suggest you take some of the reviews with a grain of salt!

    This ordeal started when I inquired over email about a pair of kittens that were available to foster. DANI RYAN answered my questions and I had a HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE with her. I cannot believe that she is the FOUNDER and PRESIDENT of MeooqzResQ because she is incredibly unprofessional, emotionally manipulative, and clearly has no sense of compassion for human beings. I was in the midst of discussing my options with my fiance when -- 8 minutes later -- Dani emailed me saying "did I answer something wrong? these babies die at 5pm." Weird, but I shrugged this off. I continued to talk with my fiance to consider if we had the time and space to foster kittens again. She sent another email to me with very aggressive words, spelled my name wrong, and wrote in all capital letters. I was so uncomfortable. At 4:50pm, DANI RYAN then sent a picture of the kittens with the caption "they had no one but you RIP Johnny and June." Are you kidding me? What kind of guilt-tripping and shaming act is this This was incredibly unprofessional, manipulative, and frankly disgusting behavior. I have fostered 30+ kittens with 6 different rescue organizations and I have never encountered conduct anywhere near this grotesque. I will not work with an organization that deals so brazenly in emotional manipulation and guilt. These are transparent abuse tactics. But the worst was yet to come. I told Dani that I wished to be unsubscribed from the mailing list in the future and she replied "i removed you when they died." Dani's behavior and approach to this interaction is absolutely disgraceful. Emotionally manipulating someone into taking fosters is one thing, but to go out of your way to be vindictive after they have ceased to be useful to you? To try and guilt potential fosters out of spite? Shameful. Dani Ryan needs some serious psychiatric help. I encourage other kitten foster parents to NEVER foster through this organization. There are so many other wonderful, compassionate, and kind rescue organizations you can spend your free volunteer time with.

    This is one of the most affordable place to see a veterinarian. The veterinarians are knowledgable…read moreand love animals. The staff is great with both my dog and cats. I brought my first cat to be neutered in about 2012. You have to call to schedule. He was in at 8am and by the afternoon. The wait times to see a veterinarian can be very long depending on how many patients show up. Appointments can also be backed up because of emergencies. I have an aggressive dog and they are very understanding about her needs. They also help pets having emergencies. Nobody is turned away. It was really hard to find any practice like this when the location was closed temporarily. I'm glad this location is open and I hope they stay open.

The biggest issue was the handling of my dog's vaccination records. We provided official vaccine records showing that our dog was vaccinated, but the clinic refused to accept them because their requirements were different from what is commonly accepted elsewhere. This was not clearly communicated beforehand and resulted in a wasted trip and a lot of frustration. The staff's communication felt unprofessional, and the overall experience left me feeling that customer concerns were not being handled appropriately. I would recommend that anyone considering this clinic ask detailed questions about their vaccination requirements before scheduling an appointment.

    Don't bother going here or contacting these "volunteers" if you're seriously thinking about…read moreadopting a cat. It's a complete waste of your time, and you'll end up leaving frustrated regardless of what your need is. Read through the reviews posted in 2021, and you can see that they all speak for the same experience I had. Try another rescue. I have 2 separate occasions when I contacted them - (1) when I tried to adopt a second cat, and (2) when I found a stray kitten and tried to get it taken to a rescue. Both occasions went to total trash. For situation #1, I was denied because apparently there are too many coyotes and raccoons living in my area (La Mirada). I live in a area right next to an elementary school where kids walk to school everyday. I've yet to see a coyote or a raccoon in this neighborhood, clearly they don't know their geography and don't do any research. For situation #2, they asked for a photo of the cat, and after sending the pictures no reply ever since. I have a feeling they'll only take kittens that look pretty and would sell for money, which defeats the purpose of a rescue to begin with. Don't waste your time here unless you want to leave with a bad taste in your mouth.

    I adopted my forever kitty at Cats in Need of Human Care in Fullerton, at a PetSmart…read more I met Mary, the manager, and Kimberly, the foster parent of the kitty I was interested in bringing home. Kimberly was informative, helpful, and friendly with providing information and letting me see her foster. She was patient and let me spend as much time as I wanted with the kitty to get acquainted with her. Mary handled the application and provided an abundance of information regarding the adoption process and bringing kitty home. She went through our information that we filled out in our application and asked us any questions she needed to know in regards to potential adoption, which makes perfect sense in wanting the best for their foster cats! The volunteers truly care about these cats and it shows. I highly recommend anyone who is serious about adopting a cat to consider Cats in Need Fullerton to find their furrever friend! Thank you Cats in Need Fullerton team!

    I'm giving them 2 stars because they broke my heart. I've been looking for a dog for at least a…read moremonth. I thought I had finely found one. I found it through the web service Priceless Pets. The dog I wanted was with the Love 4 Canines organization. Went to the website where they requested I fill out a VERY lengthy adoption questionaire. Which I did. On Oct 19th. I received a prompt response saying my form had been received and thank you very much. Now the form said we will only contact families that have been approved for adoption. (This is the only reason I didn't give one star) Understand, I own my own home. I have a large backyard. I've raised and trained dogs my entire life. And while my home is not always perfect, I still know I would be a great dog owner. Pretty much everyday, I would check Priceless Pets for any new pets, and every day, the dog I wanted was still there, looking at me with those 'adopt me' eyes. So I waited 6 days and emailed them again. "I was just wondering if Sandi was still available and if I was still in the running?" Again nothing. Waited another 11 days, Sandi is still listed on the website, sent another email. "Hi, I filled out an adoption form for Sandi. I've been waiting and waiting and I hate to bug you again, but is there anyway for someone to get back to me on the status of my application? I really would love to adopt Sandi. I'm not even looking at any other animals because I'm really hoping I'm going to be able to adopt him. If you could just drop me a quick email, that would be great! Thanks," Nothing. I checked their website, no phone, no address. The only way listed to get a hold of them is via email. I emailed 2 more times, still no response. Nothing. But every day I see that sweet dog listed. I think it's horrible to do someone like that. I obviously was very interested and that dog still had not been adopted. It would have taken 2 minutes to say you don't qualify and put me out of my misery. I admire every organization that tries to help animals. God bless them. But this one should remember that there are good people out there as well and treat us with a little human kindness. I have now adopted 2 other dogs that are real sweet, but I'll always think of Sandi's face.
