I adopted a kitten from Tales of the Paw a few months ago, and it was the best decision! Natalia…read morewas very communicative from the start and listened to my concerns to ensure we were a good match. My kitten's foster let me spend an hour with her to give her time to warm up to me, which shows how much they care about finding the right home for their animals. After adoption, Tales of the Paw also arranged for a consult session with a cat behaviorist, which I thought was very unique and made us feel extra supported. I'm so grateful that Tales of the Paw took in Mochi when she was a sick 4-week-old kitten and raised her into a confident and loving kitty who has stolen our hearts!

They talked to me and figured out my personal life and then suggested cats that they thought would fit in. Doc has become the perfect friend. And I can't thank them enough for helping me. UPDATE: also got another cat named Marty and we have been a family for over 5 years!

I wanted to take home all of them.. however We absolutely fell in love with this tabby. She was named Aggie at the shelter but we changed her name to Juna. She was very friendly and sweet right off the bat. She was a little shy when we first brought her home, but she opened up quickly and I think she's loving her new home! They offer cat carriers for you to borrow if you need one and they also will send you home with a starter kit if needed (some food and litter) The staff here is very friendly and you can tell the cats here are well taken care of and loved. The application to adopt is very thorough and they also offer foster-to-adopt options.

I absolutely love this art class!…read more From the moment I started attending, I felt welcomed into a warm and creative environment. The atmosphere is always positive, inspiring, and full of energy that makes learning art so enjoyable. Every class feels like a fun and relaxing experience where I can truly express myself. The staff members are all amazing, kind, and always willing to help whenever anyone needs guidance. They create a supportive space where students of all levels can feel comfortable and confident. A special thank you goes to Ms. Evelina, who truly makes the biggest difference in every class. She is incredibly patient, encouraging, and always takes the time to help each student improve their artistic skills. You can really tell that she cares deeply about her students and is passionate about teaching art in a meaningful way. I always look forward to coming here, and I am so grateful for everything I have learned. * Chloe Yousefian

I toured a few other studios in the foothills area and there were many differentiating factors to note. I toured another place next to the coffee shop I frequent daily and while it would have been convenient for me to enroll my kids in that art studio, I shadowed the class and knew it would not allow my children to explore their creativity as all students were doing the same exact art and not exploring with different mediums. This art studio is very large with various areas exploring different mediums of art. You have kids doing paper mache, experimenting with clay and pottery, paint, water color, sketching, other arts and crafts....the list goes on! I love when they are playing music in the background - I think it helps the kids find their rhythm. All the staff are remarkable and SO great with kids! They have a very well organized art gallery every year and it is something we look forward to attending. My son has been coming here for a year and a half and my daughter started today! I know it says age 6 and up online but both my kids started under age 6 and have been doing great! My son even made his own space inspired Dr. Seuss book! The staff print out photos my son likes (of all things space) and then they work on things that inspire him. I am so happy my daughter will be starting here, too. I think art is a great way for kids to be creative and use their imagination.

I found out about CATC because my foster through rescue needed to be neutered. If you haven't been…read morethere before like me a few things to note. If you are dropping a canine off for spay/ neuter intake is at the back door in the alley. Pickup however is through front door. I saw that kitty drop off is through the front, but I don't know if pickup is in the back or front. Everyone was professional and kind. At pickup time they give you paperwork with all care instructions and also go over it all with you in detail. CATC after hours and emergency number info is included. Street parking in front of you can snag a spot, some spots in back in alley if you can find one. I'm sure CATC team could help you if you needed help getting your groggy kid back to your car. Note:: they do Not call you with a pickup time, you just show up 2:30-3:30p unless your kid is a howler like my boy (he's deaf/blind) and is upsetting the other patients. Credit cards and cash only. You can also pay online through their client portal. CATC is a well oiled machine, everyone knows their job and do it well. Seems to be the spot for rescues. ASPCA is there too not sure if an office or ?

I will always be grateful for the way they honored her and supported me through it. Truly exceptional care from truly wonderful people.

I don't know how much it is for birthday parties but it is a great cozy place to have a private event as it is smaller than other farms that offer the same service so you feel like you have more of a one on one experience. They have a yard with goats pigs and small donkeys that kid can play with and pet. They also have many horses and kids can try a ride them as part of the birthday package they offer. Clean restroom which is always a plus if you have you g kids. The stuff is super attentive and sweet. Bring sun block and a heat as it will get real hot these days!

Having had three different coaches, and several different volunteers helping, we consistently have rewarding experiences where we trust our young daughter in their hands. The horses are gentle and well-selected, and well-loved. They also do rescue work for donkeys - a plus for us! Their love of animals, and compassion for the larger world, shines through in their work. AND we had an amazing birthday party hosted here when our daughter turned ten. What an incredible experience for all who attended. Thank you, Special Spirit, for all you give to this world!
