Adopt An Angel

Reviews

Adopt An Angel has been wonderful to us. We adopted two sweet, beautiful cats from them. And Melinda is a great person who really cares about the cats. She has to follow the organizations rules and requirements. She works very hard and it can be pretty stressful with so many people waiting around to adopt. She and her volunteers do their best to place the cats in safe, loving homes. They have to be careful. If they seem a little rude at times, just let it go, or volunteer there yourself to relieve some of their pressure. Try to be understanding and supportive of the good work they do. The people who are posting here and complaining need to be helping these rescues instead of complaining about stupid little things, like when someone doesn’t say something the way you want them to. What Adopt An Angel really needs from the Complainers is for them to help foster the cats so that they can rescue more cats and take them out of the kill shelters and get them into good homes. Focus on opening your hearts and homes to Foster and stop complaining.

My girlfriend and I decided to adopt through the AAA event at petco here in Wilmington. Melinda was VERY rude right from the start as well as the rest of the ladies there. We eventually found our sweet kitten and after waiting what felt like all day we got around to the paperwork. She questioned us very throughly, more so like an investigation rather. She questioned whether our other girl cat would be okay with her and we should really get a male but upon other research and vet talk, two girls would be fine as long as they bonded. She really was upset that we didn’t give into her “knowledge” but she signed off on the adoption. (Our two girls are the most amazing sisters just as an fyi) Just yesterday we went in possibly looking for a kitten and witnessed such horrible treatment to the poor cats. Half of them were labeled with problems such as aids or chlamydia. When feeding the cats they threw the food at them and even said to the poor cats “that’s fine, eat it off the floor”….we also saw Melinda and her volunteers remove a cat from a locker to a carrier and the cat fought back in which made Melinda made and yelling in the store and raising her hands to the cat as it is clearly scared and hissing at her. They literally pinned the cat down, threw it around, etc. until they got it in the carrier. My partner and I were horrified. Another issue is we had with Melinda is her lack of knowledge (in which she thinks she has) she told us once before that two girls wouldn’t work and if we wanted another cat it would need to be a boy but all of a sudden three girls would work?? She also questioned our landlord about having 3 pets, which is not a lie, why would we risk paying fines and getting evicted for a kitten?? Melinda and the volunteers there are extremely rude and narcissistic. We have been judged, lied too, belittled, etc. AAA is a great organization but the PEOPLE running it, especially the Petco location are HORRIBLE. Please watch out when going there, I know so many cats are in need but you may get yourself in a situation with these guys. Beware!!

I adopted a cat through them at Petco. They were very kind and helpful through the adoption process. Told me to reach out if anything was wrong with her in the first 30 days. She was not FIV tested. Within 2 weeks she started to get very sick and have a distended abdomen. They told me she was 2, the vet said she is probably 5 or 6. She was with her mother and I was told they were not a bonded pair. After reading the paperwork I found out that they were very bonded. I texted Melissa about it and she didn't even know which cat I was referring to. Her response was "right". My heart breaks that I seperated a bonded pair.

My kiddo and I had a great experience finding our new kitty. The staff was knowledgeable and did a great job educating us on the best animal for our needs.

We had gone to Petco during one of the Adopt An Angel event to adopt a kitten. We had looked at the options and decided upon a cute little cat. Then one of the volunteers had given us the paper work to fill out. Once we finished filling out our paperwork, it took about 1 hour 30 minutes to finally get to talk with the staff about the adoption. However, the lady we spoke to was very rude and had refused to let us adopt because “we would harm the cat by allowing it outside.” She argued that because we wrote “inside or outside” on our paperwork, we couldn’t get it. This had upset not only me, but my siblings who were extremely excited to finally have a pet in the house.

Very disappointed in my recent encounter at Petco with their volunteers. My mother, girlfriend and myself waited around for an hour while they setup, to have them review my application for a kitten. The old volunteer, unfortunately I didn't waste time getting her name, asked me why my dog was an outside dog. I told her, because he has an acre of fenced in land that he enjoys roaming. She replies "so why don't you let your dog come inside?". He isn't forced outside, he just loves the outdoors, but he is welcome to come and go as he sees fit. We have doggie doors... Then she ridicules me over the fact that my dog is not neutered and tells me her "board" will not allow the adoption of a cat to someone who has not neutered their dog. Apparently she is unaware of the fact that felines and canines are unable to breed. Even though the kitten I was wanting to give a beautiful home, is already neutered. Very unprofessional of her, the other ladies were nice though 😉. I'd go elsewhere, Craigslist has cats all the time.
