Purrfect Pals is a good, charitable non-profit organization that is being slandered all over the internet by zhong/Denny C who has a personal vendetta against Purrfect Pals.Here is the truth:Denny C adopted a cat from Purrfect Pals and signed an adoption contract. The contract in which he signed states that he is holding Purrfect Pals harmless from future undiagnosed illnesses, and that if the kitty doesn't work out, then he will return the cat to Purrfect Pals.Denny contacted Purrfect Pals about the cats diarreha, to which Purrfects Pals offered multiple times to have the kitty treated for free by their on-staff veterinarians. Denny C refused to have the cat treated. He instead abandoned the poor cat at the Seattle Humane shelter, and didn't even notify Purrfect Pals of the abandonment. Denny C has since slandered Purrfect Pals, this good organization all over the internet, it's very sad. By the way, the cat was very healthy, and was soon after adopted without problem.
I adopted my kitty from Purrfect Pals about six months ago now, and they are truly a wonderful organization. All the kitties that I saw there were in good health and friendly, and the staff and volunteers were very compassionate and they truly loved and cared for the cats and their well-being. The adoption process was rigorous, which is good, they really wanted to make sure that the kitty and I was a good fit for each other. I was impressed that a week after the adoption, I got a call from Purrfect Pals inquiring on how it was going. I would highly recommend Purrfect Pals to anyone looking to add a new feline to your family!
Much as I admire the overall goals of Purrfect Pals, a private non-profit, I must state that there are in all likelihood much better animal shelters in the Seattle area.For one thing, the cats shelved at various stores are housed in cages and fed and cared for by said VOLUNTEERS, not full-time paid staff. The scheduled hours for visiting is confusing, and they are not always staffed!My experience adopting a cat here was a disaster. I was told that a volunteer would be there at 3:30. No one showed up until two hours later. Vicki, who actually did the adoption, did not understand how to read the organization's own vaccine documentation. She gave me false assurances he was up-to-date on his vaccines. And she made no effort whatsoever to explain the mounds of paperwork I was signing. "Just sign here, there, and there."As a result, I adopted a cat who was due shortly to have booster vaccines because she stated and reassured me that no other vaccines would be needed for another year.(When I confronted her with this days later, she refused to offer a simple apology).The cat had diarrhea, a runny nose, sneezing not long after arrival at my home. And he refused to eat and, by the second day, to drink water. And has vomited several times.What is important to note is that cats abandoned by their owners to Purrfect Pals basically get checked by vets to determine whether or not they are neutered and for FeLV. And my guess is that THAT'S IT. The documentation gave no indication whether a general physical examination (eyes, nose, heart, fur, etc.) had ever been done.
