First, the cat: We have gotten 1 Toyger from Styled in the Wild. We've had her for almost a year…read moreand she is such an angel, could not have hoped for a better cat. She is the sweetest most loving cat, and she is also so soft; really anyone who meets her falls in love with her. We were worried about our furniture because we had just redecorated, and not a single piece of furniture has a scratch a year later. We are actually about to get a 2nd cat from Styled in the Wild. Next, the breeders! Nicholas and Diane are amazing. We visited many times before getting our first cat, and have since visited before our 2nd. They always make time for us and spend hours as we play with the little ones. It is always a pleasure to hang out with them and hear about the latest goings on in the Toyger world! I highly recommend if you are considering a Toyger that you go with Styled in the Wild

I'm a…read morefirst time pet owner, let alone a first time cat owner, so when I called Mary early in the year, I had no idea what to expect. From that moment though, she was exceptionally helpful and kind the entire way up until the adoption. And I really can't say enough about how much I love my kitten. She's healthy, happy, and definitely the sweetest cat that I've ever interacted with. Mary has also continued to be available by phone to answer questions that I've had along the way. If you're looking for a ragdoll, or just a sweet, even-tempered cat, I strongly recommend talking to Mary.

I wanted to take a moment to share my experience with Michele from the Feral Cat Foundation,…read morebecause I've seen some negativity that honestly doesn't reflect what I've experienced. She rescued a dog from an abusive situation and ensured it was safely rehomed. Even 2 years later, she continued to support with food, toys, and supplies. That kind of follow-through is rare and truly shows how much she cares beyond just the initial rescue. She also took the time to guide me through caring for bottle baby kittens, which is no easy task. She didn't just give advice, she provided hands-on support and supplies, making sure the kittens had the best chance possible. From everything I've seen, Michele operates with genuine compassion, and an incredible level of dedication. The amount she takes on is no small feat, yet she continues to show up for animals and the community every single day. I understand that not every experience may be the same, but from what I've seen, her intentions and actions have consistently come from a place of care and compassion. She has made a meaningful difference in my life and for the animals she's helped. Thank you for everything you do!

I had a very disappointing experience working with Michele through this organization. Communication…read morewas extremely difficult--messages were often ignored, and when I did receive a response, it felt like I had to repeatedly explain the same information without it being acknowledged. When I was finally able to secure a vet appointment through her, I was told by the veterinary office that payment would be handled at the time of pickup. However, Michele later called me and spoke in a raised, confrontational tone, insisting that this was not how she operates and that I could simply pick up my cat and "forget it." The interaction felt unprofessional and unnecessarily hostile. When I did in fact pay through Venmo she gave me attitude and said how I had told her it would be through Zelle followed by the very professional response of, "whatever." I understand that volunteers may be dealing with personal challenges, and Michele mentioned that her cat was very ill. While that is truly unfortunate and deserving of empathy, it does not justify speaking to others in a disrespectful or aggressive manner--especially when they are reaching out in good faith to help care for a feral cat family. Organizations like this do important work, and clear, respectful communication is essential. Unfortunately, this experience left me feeling discouraged and unsupported. I hope the organization takes steps to ensure that volunteers representing them maintain a basic level of professionalism and courtesy.

I fly once a month and she goes with me and is the best little traveler, most of the time people don't even know i have her, because her bag looks like a purse. She is such a joy We got Littles (Little Luna) when she was 6 months old. My BIGGEST issue is we were told she was potty trained. We have taught her to go on the pee pad, but when it comes to going poop, she has no concept. It has been an on going challenge to say the least. B, even having said that, I would not trade her for the world

She is the best little baby, easily trainable and very needy for love. I love Sissy so much and very happy we took the time to drive to Brentwood to see her. This breeder is a caring and careful person and I highly recommend her and her dogs. Thank you for all the happiness Sissy has given me. Sissy is my heart.

Discovering Missy and her website, RoyalYorkies.com, was an absolute delight. One of the things…read morethat stood out to me was her approach to breeding. She's not someone with countless dogs in a kennel--it's clear her focus is on quality, love, and care. She only has her pet dogs, and they're treated like cherished family members. The warmth and dedication she shows to them shine through in every detail. Her dogs are impeccably groomed and cared for, which speaks volumes about the level of attention and affection she provides. Missy's passion and integrity are truly inspiring, and it makes Royal Yorkies feel much more like a community of love rather than just a business. Missy gave me Bella, and I couldn't be happier! Bella was already accustomed to using puppy pads when I brought her home, which made potty training so easy. It's clear Missy puts a lot of effort into ensuring her puppies are well-prepared for their new homes. I'm so glad I came across her site--it's refreshing to see someone who truly prioritizes the well-being of their dogs.

This breeder sold me a puppy that died 10 days after I got her from a what her vet said was a…read morecongenital health abnormality. There were issues with her right from the start. She wouldn't eat, was lethargic, was throwing up. She told me the leave food out for her and she was probably sad from leaving her brother. About 30 hours after I got her I had to rush her to the emergency vet (at 1am) because she became completely unresponsive. They saved her but said she was close to death. I told her about what happened and I feel like she was trying to blame me and that it was caused by something I did. The next week was more vet visits to try to figure out what was wrong with her. I only had her for 10 days I believe, but I really loved her and we were bonded. I told Mariya (the breeder aka Missy) the day before she died that there was something really wrong with her. I was told there was nothing she could do but pray for her. And then I was seemingly blocked and ignored!! Throughout the whole thing I felt alone in the situation. I took her to the vet again after that convo on the evening of the November 2nd and the vet told me to bring her back the next day to be hospitalized for the whole day. My heart was broken into pieces when I woke on nov 3, 2024 to find my little friend had passed away. The vet came to the official conclusion that she had a congenital abnormality that caused her to pass away. I spent thousands trying to save her. It was extremely traumatic to watch her despite my best efforts to save her, decline and then die. I am beyond crushed. A week later I'm still crying. In my opinion Mariya didn't seem to care about the puppy. But I really did. I have paraphrased what happened and will write a full review once I can bring myself to do so. I have retained an attorney and I am taking legal action. I would recommend caution when dealing with royal yorkies.

She did not even tell me from the beginning that the cat was going to get adopted the next day. She also said "Please educate your parents" as if they don't know what they are doing.

I have nothing but good things to say about Marin Cat Connection. I was in a difficult position…read moretrying to find homes for cats that for no fault of their own were in need of new forever homes and there was little time to accomplish this, kitten season was just around the corner. I researched many no kill shelters in two counties and they all had friendly, well meaning staff. Then I found, Marin Cat Connection. Ms. Allen was an absolute God send. She went well beyond what anyone would ever expect from a rescue in trying to help me. I looked at reviews on Yelp, and yes, saw some that weren't as positive as others but what those reviews were showing me was this is someone who has very high standards, like I do. I knew she was the person I wanted to contact. She literally bent over backward trying to find first a foster for the remaining cat, then finally a magnificent, permanent home. It didn't happen overnight but she diligently kept at it, until a fantastic home was found. Ann has a very strong love for cats, that's clear to see, shes been doing rescue and adoption for over 30 years I believe, and I for one went with her organization over all the others because of her high standards. She puts the cats first, over anything else, even at the risk of possibly offending people sometimes, (I know not intentionally), which is what I wanted in a cat rescue. I'm not thin skinned and don't easily get offended especially when I know someone is willing to work their butt off to find cats safe and happy homes. Finding good homes for animals isn't easy folks, I know I used to do it. I would say to those who thought her rude just realize she's looking out for the cats and wants what's best for them, and please don't take things too personally, what she's doing is damn hard work. I think the world of Ann Allen and this organization, she helped me tremendously and is an extremely devoted animal (cat) person. I was very lucky to find her and I think Marin county is very lucky to have her too.
