| - This place is fantastic.
When we first went to TAS back in November of last year, were super indecisive about which cat to bring home, and after our first visit, simply could not make up our minds. Although the staff were very patient with us bringing in our 5 year old daughter and wanting to see lots of kitties right around closing time- we just couldn't pick one! All of our favourite cats were so sweet-but also super obese! The staff were very straightforward about the extra vet costs of getting those older, overweight cats back to a good health, plus the additional dental work they would probably need, and encouraged us to take our time in deciding-also saying a kitten would probably be a better choice for our daughter. Before a second visit, I spoke with a staff member on the phone, who personally went out of her way to find out if a kitten who was not even at the shelter anymore, and had been taken home temporarily by a volunteer, would be a good match for us.
In the end, we went back a second time a couple of weeks later, with my mom this time to help us bring a cat (we were determined to pick this time!) home. Again, we spent a very long time there, this time with a bunch of sprightly kittens, trying to pick our new family member out. As it turned out, he picked us, by being the only one who boldly climbed all over my daughter, wanting to be petted and loved.
Even then, as they were filling out the papers we had an 'Oh wait...maybe this other one instead!" moment...they calmly started to redo the paperwork, before we decided...no, actually the first one again! God, just writing this all makes me wonder at these people's tolerance...I even asked if such indecisiveness was normal and they frankly, but sweetly told me "no." To top it all off, my mom decided to adopt the sister of our new little guy right then and there, even though she had had no prior thought of getting a cat herself. Well, all in all it worked out great. We both love our cats! They are the sweetest, most friendly and tolerant beings I've ever seen...So very trusting of humans and affectionate...it's clear they must have been treated very well at the TAS.
As a bonus, they gave us little hand crocheted blankets to take home with our new cats. One thing...i recommend you bring your own cat carrier...They do give you cardboard ones, but on our drive home BOTH cats busted out of them and were loose in the car!
