My brother recently visited this shelter, chose a specific kitten he wanted to adopt, and filled out the adoption application. A week later, since he hadn't heard back, he reached out and was told they had lost his application and he needed to fill it out again. He did so right away.
When he followed up a few days later, the shelter informed him that they had already given the cat to someone else - even though he had clearly stated from the beginning which specific kitten he wanted.
This is extremely disappointing and shows a lack of responsibility and organization from the staff. He had just moved into his new apartment and was ready to give that kitty a loving home and a better life. Instead, he was met with carelessness.
It's very upsetting to see how poorly managed this process was. The staff here act recklessly, the lives of animals and the hopes of adopters are far too important to be handled with such carelessness.

My daughter visited here to adopt a kitten. Adoption application was denied with no explanation. She emailed and called several times to find out why the appl was denied, got no response. Very unprofessional. I do not recommend!! Would give zero stars if i could. Im happy to say my daughter now has a kitten given to her by a friend, hes adorable.
