Second Chance

I got my sweet little girl from Second Chance three years ago. They rescued her from a field near a warehouse in the city when she was very pregnant, and she had her litter of kittens in foster care- they truly went above and beyond for her. She is the light of my life. The volunteers were so sweet and followed up with me via email after her adoption, asking how the transition to a home life was going and offered advice and tips on how to introduce her to my other cat. Very thankful for all they do.

I fell in love with Dillon and found him at petsmart. When I first found him I immediately called and didn’t get an answer so I left a voicemail, after a few days past by I called again and once again did not get an answer. I showed up to petsmart with my family members to introduce Dillon to them (we couldn’t play with him because we had to have a second chance volunteer there but no volunteers were ever there) and an employee said that they set an appointment for us the next morning to meet Dillon and play with him. I came the next morning to find out that no one from second chance showed up, so a petsmart employee told me to call which I did and received no answer. Not until I called 5 times did I finally receive and answer after many many days. I was greeted by a rude employee on the p

Long post. Sorry. Not sorry. I don’t post much or speak negatively ever but I feel compelled to share my recent experiences with Molly at Buckminster's Cat Café and Helen at Second Chance Sheltering Network. On Saturday 1/15, my son and I visited Buckminster's. We fell in love and adopted 2 kitties - 2 1/2 yo Romeo and 6 mo. orange kitten (she currently has no name…lol!). The process was easy. Called Second Chance and spoke to Helen that same day. I was told they were up to date on testing, on shots, treated for fleas, spayed, microchipped, etc. Romeo is also FIV positive which I knew already. Went back to Buckminster's that Sunday. Paid the adoption fee for my 2 sweet kitties, went over the paperwork and on our way home we went. The kitties had their first visit with my vet (w

My co-worker wrote a review on Second Chance last week. I'm here to support that review, but also just to add a bit to it. It took me a week to write this because last week was too emotional for me. Let's just say that, although there is disagreement from Second Chance, there is no real debate in this matter. I have worked in human services for 30+ years and I know compassion when I see it. I did not see it here. I was being judged for not getting Garfield or the other cats help before last monday. I was told it was inhumane to leave Garfield outside in the state he was in. I was told that I would be contacted about the decision from the vet. I was told I have to trap the other cats. I was told the vet's bill could run up to $1000 if we wanted him back to us. I was told that should Garfiel

I adopted Mr. Teddy Bear 4 years ago from Second Chance. He was on the streets, full of matts and just surviving. I have been an animal lover for over 40 years. My two sister tabbies lived till 23 years of age before they passed away. Second chance is one the most caring, supportive and loving organizations that I have come in contact with in many years. They have a sound process to make sure all adoptions are going to GOOD homes. Keep up the great work and God bless those who are so dedicated.
