Customer Reviews
Cannot recommend them highly enough! I adopted my cat Mercy (formerly Kiki) from PALS in July 2025 and she is the best companion I could ask for. They were careful in considering what I was looking for in a cat and let me meet 3 different cats who were all great, but I went home with Mercy and couldn't be happier. The cats are sweet, good-tempered and well taken care of.
I will always be thankful to PALS. I adopted my bonded pair, Nabi & Yuki (formerly known as Daisy & Dizzy), from them one year ago this week. All of the volunteers were so kind and helpful, especially Carol. The adoption process was quite simple. I had applied online and inquired about a specific cat I saw at their PetSmart location. They gave me a call a few days after and let me know that she had adopters lined up for her, but they would keep my application on file and call me when they had a good match. I reached out shortly after about a pair of kittens I saw them post on Pet Finder, we set up a meet & greet, and took them home the next day. Highly recommend adopting from and supporting them! Thank you again PALS team, our lives are so much fuller with these two ❤️🐱
I can't say enough about this organization. I walked in looking for a cat/kitten. There was a scrappy looking cat that was so sweet. He was found wandering around the streets. PALS took him in and he lived with a foster woman. She loved him. I fell for him and adopted him. I could see how much she loved him. She made me promise to take good care of him. These people really care about the animals. ......and he's not scrappy anymore. He's loved and spoiled. Thanks PALS.
This company does not operate in good faith. The volunteer caregivers are pleasant and do a wonderful job. The president of the organization as well as the intake agent Sandy are rude, unresponsive and unethical. They take kittens away from their mothers before they are weaned in a rush to keep the kitty mill going and collect their $350. Their website is private and they only allow positive reviews to be posted. Steer clear of these people.
I want to share a somewhat ugly experience I had with Pals. Earlier this year, I adopted my cat Tony with a clean bill of health from just a week earlier from a vet in Salem. Shortly after adopting him, he fell ill from some unknown cause. After about $8,000 of veterinary diagnostics and hospital stays, my vet ran two tests that he had allegedly tested negative for just a few weeks earlier: FIV and FELV. He came up positive for both. We tried many treatments but his disease was quite late stage. Unfortunately, after only a couple months with Tony, we had to put him down. I later contacted the Salem vet to let them know their FIV and FELV tests had contradictory results just a couple weeks after. But there was a problem - they never ran FIV/FELV tests on Tony. Despite the paperwork from P
