Terrible customer service! Giving petsmart a really bad reputation, I will be writing to petsmart to get them out!

This group of unpaid volunteers does so much good for the community cats of Miami. Many people don't understand how much of their spare time and money it takes to care for and rescue community cats. Unsung heroes.

Sorry, I realize that im not able to speak with a person right away, i worded that complaint stupidly and childish, I apologize for that. I was upset at the answering machine, when it says "dial 1 for spay neuter services" and when you dial it, it says "dial 1 for spay neuter services, or calls in Spanish" and gives the options for 2 and 3 And when you dial any of the numbers it prompts you to, it says "that option is unavailable" i didnt understand because i was dialing the right numbers

I thought it was just me. But I have spoken to many many people who say that the Cat network is worthless. They're all about money. They may do some good things but for people like me who comes seeking help, they try to shake for money and have someone offer to rescue the cats for $80 a cat. These people must be stopped

I've acquired assistance from the network the times. They've always been attentive and helpful. They may ask for money, but maintaining this kind of organization is not cheap. There is a lot of cost in the work they do. If I ever experience or feel differently I will happily change my review to reflect those feelings.

The network has the most caring individuals I have ever met. A stray young black tabby female showed up at my home's front porch, she was scared and being followed by 2 males that were not spayed. I kept her in my garage several nights until I was able to take her in to get neutered by the group of vets that help the network. It was a truly non eventful experience. Thank you.

Horrible. They opened up a cat that had already been spayed. They claimed they couldn't see the scar! More like they had already received the money. Don't waste your time and money. If you care what happens to the animal pay the extra $50 for a normal vet or go to the clinics at PETCO or Walgreens. Communication was very poor. They don't test the animals before vaccinating. NOT WORTH IT!
