I genuinely believe this place to be a racket; here is my story: We paid almost $100 for our 6…read morefamily members to spend an hour with the cats and pick one for adoption after discussing and planning as a family for weeks. (Mind you, that isn't even the adoption fee). This is not a decision we take lightly by any means. We submitted an application same day after our kids fell in love with one particular kitten. Both my husband and I work from home and have generally well behaved kids in a safe, cared for neighborhood and home. We haven't had any pets in about 5 years because we wanted our kids to mature a little after our dog died and we also weren't emotionally ready for a while. After taking our $100, we were ignored entirely. The only thing we were told, and this was by the one person working the day we visited, was that we "probably" wouldn't be able to adopt a kitten because we only wanted one. We waited two weeks and heard nothing from our application or separate email to the owner. As I sit here and type this we still have heard nothing, not even a rejection. This place appears to be about making some quick cash on selling their kitties for an hour of snuggle time, not about getting them adopted into good homes. Since then, we have visited a New Leash on Life, who responded to my application within 10 minutes of submitting it online. Not even just an email - I was texted by a sweet employee that evening and had adopted a kitty the next day. If you are truly interested in adopting a pet for your family that has been rescued and in need of a home, DON'T visit Cattyshack unless you want to be hustled. Trust a facility who is genuine to their mission like A New Lease on Life.

UPDATED (10-14-18): Just wanted to update, as my dog, Irish, has stayed countless times now for…read moreday-play. I had family from Germany in town for 2 wks. Irish was able to spend time with us, but because we were going to various places ...she couldn't come most of the time. It was also too hot to leave her in the car & she still deals strongly with separation anxiety. So nearly every day for 2 wks (not the weekends), she did stay here for day-play. She seems happy when I pick her up each time & even knows where we're going when I say she is going to have a "FUN DAY"! Instead of lying down in the car, she stays upright until we arrive, which is unusual! She even wags her tail at times when I pick her up, which if you read below, this is a big deal, since she is an older rescue dog I recently adopted. The AWESOME STAFF are starting to get to know her & her "ways" a bit more, which is helpful. More than they realize, they have helped me out quite a bit. I do pray she will get better with being left alone at home for short periods of time. However, until we get to that point, I will continue to bring her here when I have dr's appts and/or errands that will take several hours. This way I know she's cared for & won't be "as lonely" if she were just left at home. I do hope they'll start to have day-play on weekends, which it sounds like they may do in the near future. That will help out greatly, as I don't want to just board her, but actually give her some social interaction with other dogs, if I need to go out-of-town for any reason. I also like the cameras in upgraded rooms, so you can watch your dog while they are in there. However, I hope to see more cameras on the premises, so you can watch while they are playing, as well. This, too, may happen in near future, as I'm sure it's a matter of funds. Lastly, I hope they end up with some kind of "frequent day-play and/or boarding" program. Where you can buy X-amount of day-plays and/or boarding in advance to get a reduced price. That would make for an ideal gift for someone! KUDOS TO STAFF! OLDER POST: I've only had my dog, Irish, since April 30, 2018. She is nearly an 8-yr-old rescued Beagle that I ended up adopting. She had major surgery for 11 tumors back in April (one literally the size of a baseball). The vet firmly believes she has cancer and could live for 6 months or 6 years ...there's just no way to know. Either way, she's a sweetheart of a dog and I know I made the right decision in adopting her back in mid-May. Irish does come with a lot of separation anxiety, as well as being scared of loud noises ...particularly thunder & children. Due to all of this, it has been difficult to leave her alone. I've tried various methods to keep her calm while I have to run out to do errands & such. Unfortunately, it will take a lot more time with a lot of love & patience. However, I'm willing to do what it will take. This includes the added expense of putting her in doggy day-care -even if she is not much into "playing" given her age & health. She seems happy enough to be around other dogs & people ...more so than just staying at home while I'm out doing my errands. I'm grateful that Paradise Pet is local & willing to take last-minute drop-ins & of course long-term boarding, if needed. I did use their long-term boarding last month for an unexpected death in the family that took me out to Texas. Paradise Pet took very good care of Irish while I was away. That was her 1st time there. She's been there 2 more times just for day-play. I will be bringing her back for this again soon! Over-all, I'm very satisfied with Paradise Pet & will definitely recommend to anyone that's looking for such a place to either board and/or do day-play for their dog. They take cats, too, but I don't have a cat, so can't give any info regarding that. BIG-BIG KUDOS TO ALL EMPLOYEES HERE ....and to management for hiring such great & caring employees! I truly mean it, as it makes all the difference for both Irish & me! Blessings to each! ~ Deb & Irish ~ (Madison, AL)

She had lost weight. The cameras went out several times and I had to call about them not working. My dog had to go for emergency treatment after I picked her up but ended up dying a week later. My dog was perfectly fine when I dropped her off but died a week after being picked up from this horrible place. No one should ever use this facility if you care anything about your pet. These people should not even be in the business of boarding animals because they don't care about your pets.

We were satisfied with our dogs 5 night stay, he got fed, played with the big dogs, and was super worn out when he got home.

They've always given us medical advice, etc. We had an instance where our dogs kept vomiting and took him to FR after visiting the ER. They stated he was having bad seasonal allergies gave us two medications and within days he was back to his normal self. Would recommend their boarding, veterinarians to anyone!
