Freaky nice folks there, very friendly and answered all of our questions to the best of their knowledge. Best of all we got a new member of the family while we were there!

I adopted 2 of the best cats from this place. The staff gave me all of the information and they check to make sure the animals go to a good home.

Adopted my kittens, it was so easy & stress free. No worrying about anything. They make it so easy. Best part is they come home, with shots & all that's needed for your new pet to stay healthy. Of course you'll be working with a very friendly staff. I'll be going in to adopt my new Kitten very soon.
