"I DON'T CARE" Regarding the possibility they may be adopting out lost cats folk are looking for. I've never written a bad review before. THIS PLACE IS THAT BAD. LIED TWICE in our phone conversation; once about the cat's appearance, the other about the law regarding the amount of time regarding right of ownership. Has made every effort to make it impossible for lost-cat owners to SEE if one for sale might be theirs; and after several interactions, now, having given far too much benefit-of-the-doubt each time, after this last interaction I wouldn't put it past them to lie about something so seemingly crystal-clear as whether the cat wasn't neutered when it came in, just to keep people from seeing if it's theirs.
I told him what he was doing was wrong. He didn't care. I told him it was unlawful, he told me to call the cops. This guy has shown himself to have no qualms, no ethics. Does only the bare minimum, knowing if he keeps us out then he can keep his precious plausible deniability, and shirk his lawful responsibility. The only explanation for the level of walling they put up. Otherwise it'd've been as simple as a five minute visit to see the cat wasn't mine. Says he wants to help, then in the same breath says he doesn't care. Read the other bad reviews; EVERY ONE I've read so far basically say the same thing: "Makes you wonder how much they really care about cats' finding good homes."

----update 4/15/21: see the screenshot of their response. It doesn't seem to be appearing, here's the copy/paste highlights:
"I think you may be confusing us with another rescue organization."
"CAT rarely receives lost or stray animals--most cats come to us from other shelters and rescue organizations. "

First trying to claim this was my mistake. No, I've tried MANY Times to see TWO cats at your building. Every time some excuse to keep me from even looking, even entering the building! Then trying to claim they don't have many strays, yet in the same sentence claiming theirs come from "other shelters." And where do shelters get theirs? STRAYS. This is the EXACT "plausible deniability" they hold so dear to. They wouldn't let me see the first, claiming "It couldn't be yours, this one came from Texas." It had come from "Best Friends" in TX, but upon calling Best Friends, it turns out they get theirs from shelters All Over The Country, Including OR. This is a racket, they can ship cats from shelters here, to Texas, then even ship them back here, so they can shirk their legal obligation to allow owners to reclaim their lost pets. If a *person* finds a stray, they're legally required to make it possible for the owner to find/claim for 30-90 days (depending on the county). If a shelter takes in a stray, they can put it up for adoption after 3-5 days. They're SUPPOSED to allow the remaining days for the owner to find/reclaim it, even if it was adopted. The adopter is SUPPOSED to be informed of their responsibility. But, because they ship them out of state, they know the owner Won't find it. Then they ship them somewhere else, or even back, to an adoption agency who can quite literally say "we don't/seldom take in strays" and "this cat came from Texas!" And flat-out *refuse* to even let the potential owner in to even look at the cat. This wasn't just one staff member, Numerous. One even said "if we let /everyone/ in who's looking for their lost cat..." Oh yeah? WHAT would happen? WORST CASE: Someone might see a cat that resembles theirs and get tunnelvision and adopt the wrong one? Paying your adoption fee in gratitude for your taking care of it. Maybe eventually realize it was a mistake and /maybe/ bring it back for a return? Heaven forbid you make a sale based on a mistake. So instead you let NONE in, let no one see whether a cat you've acquired is theirs? This is your business. You can't just shirk those responsibilities because one or two people ask for your time without paying for it. It is unethical.
