I had high hopes when we first dropped off our cat, we were taken to the area where he would be…read moreboarded and had the chance to put him in the "kennel" (I don't know the right word) ourselves with his blanket and toys. We paid upfront and there was a military discount so our $100 total was now $90 We made our reservation during the Memorial Day weekend for our 4th of July trip because our regular boarding place (MLVH) was full and we did not make them early enough. P&C was available so we booked. We were told by the person on the phone (didn't catch the name) that they would be open on the 4th for pick up only from 4-5pm. (Like their Sunday hours). MLVH is 24 hours access regardless of holiday(it's an emergency vet) so I was not very comfortable at the idea of not having access to him at any point, and we didn't know if we would be able to pick up in that time frame. We made it back to Billings on July 4 and arrived at P&C around 3:50 and called 3 times after 4:00pm, there was no answer I returned to P&C by 6:50am July 5 and they opened early and I went in to retrieve my cat. I was greeted by Kate at the desk who called back for My cat and they brought him in his carrier, the food we had provided and a blanket that was not his. They went back to retrieve the right blanket and I noticed that his food was not completely used. (I will attach pics) We provided two large ziplock bags with pre portioned food and a sheet with instructions in each bag on how to feed our cat, a morning bag of food and an evening bag. on the slip they have you fill out at drop off, we noted that feeding instructions were in the bags, and when we took him to the back at drop off, they told us that we could leave his food on his carrier and they would get the food from there. The evening bag appeared to have not been touched at all, My cat had only been fed once a day for his time there, half of the total amount of food he receives daily. I was heartbroken. My cat has very clearly lost weight during his time at P&C. I spoke to Kate again and asked about the feeding habits they have at P&C and she reassured me that he should have been fed as instructed and that they do it differently than the dogs, the instructions given for cats were what are to be followed. She took my contact information and told me that her employer would be reaching out to me to talk about my cats stay. Kelly called at 4pm and asked about the experience and told me that she had spoke to the person who had first taken in my cat and said that they had only noticed one of the bags, and did not do any further investigation about additional food,I find this had to believe because we left both bags on his carrier as instructed, and they were right next to each other. You could not touch one without touching the others. She told me that he always had food in his bowl, as cats can have a hard time adjusting to boarding places and do not always eat. (We incentivize his eating with wet evening food, but he never received that.) His morning portion could not have been nearly enough for a whole day. I asked why the wrong blanket was brought out when I picked him up when we placed him in the "kennel" with his own blanket and she tried to reassure me that the people cleaning the "kennel" probably had not realized that it was his personal blanket, that it could have been P&C's blanket. I don't know if that means that it was shared with other cats, but we will be washing it just in case. I brought up how we were told when making the reservation that we would be able to pick up our cat on the 4th, but Kelly told me that Christmas, Thanksgiving, and 4th of July are the only holidays that they are closed and was apologetic to hear that no one was available to pick up the phone, but of course there is always someone with the dogs, and the cats too. Kate had told me earlier that the only holidays that they are closed are Christmas and 4th of July. My cat was really agitated on our way home, but Kelly tried to assure me that he had a great time at P&C and she remembers him specifically. I don't know how true that is. I won't make the mistake of not booking my regular boarding place soon enough. I won't put my cat at risk of losing more weight, of not being properly fed, of potentially having his personal items giving to other animals, of not being able to pick him up when I'm told I can, and not having access to get him whenever I can. P&C may be a fine place for dogs, as most of the discussion is centered around dogs, but it is not a great place for a cat. MLVH Has a lower rate, has 24hr pick up and drop off, and sends updates of our cat directly to our phone uninstructed and has never once had a problem with our feeding instructions.

I asked Leonard to use a closed fist motion to help signal him to sit so he'd be on the same page with my other dog and when I got him back after the three weeks it worked like a charm. Aside from his work, I would give Leonard himself a 5 star review. He's polite, very understanding of needs/wants, and overall was just a great guy to work with. Would be willing to board my dogs with him again if I ever need to!

First, it was $35 dollars then it was $30 dollars. Secondly, the dog sitter who mysteriously only give her name once (if that happened, I don't remember what it was) stopped visiting my apartment space at around 8:40 AM, then changed to two 9:00 AM visits in a row. In other words, she was being specifically dedicated to giving me the lesser experience as possible. Lastly, there was to many personal comments made towards me such as ''I don't do specific times'' along with ''stay out of trouble'' during my college spring break. This came across as disrespectful and made my stomach crawl. In summary, stay a country mile away from this place if you want your dog looked after.

They even let us know that she had food allergies so we needed to be careful of what type of dog food we fed her.

As someone who has supported Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter (YVAS) for decades, I've had a…read morefront-row seat to their incredible growth and transformation. While some older reviews reflect a time when the shelter was under different leadership and struggling with management and outdated practices, the YVAS of today is an entirely different organization--one that the Billings community should be proud to have. YVAS has evolved into a professional, compassionate, and highly efficient operation. Their length of stay for animals is impressively short--far below the national average--which speaks volumes about their dedication to finding loving homes quickly and responsibly. This is not a shelter that warehouses animals or euthanizes for space; this is a shelter that works for every single life. What's even more remarkable is that they do all of this with very little funding from city and county contracts, yet they operate a million-dollar-plus organization with integrity, transparency, and heart. Most of the leadership team has been there for nearly a decade (or longer!) and many of them hold nationally recognized certifications in animal care and shelter management. Their experience shows--in the way they care for the animals, train their staff, and educate the public. If you've read negative reviews from the past or from individuals who may not fully understand how shelters operate, I encourage you to take a second look. YVAS is not only one of the best-run shelters in Montana, but I would argue they're one of the best in the region. Their commitment to animal welfare is unmatched, and the lives they've saved over the years tell the real story.

Personally using my info to make threats should be illegal.

Wrong wrong wrong! If you go there I would have them remove your info before they use it for their own pleasure. Awful owner and should not have a business.
