Hillside SPCA review: The whole place 1

For a place that is supposed to help animals find a loving home they treat you like an idiot for wanting to adopt one. I am a stay at home mom of 2 children, own our home, have a dog who is at the vet regularly for check ups, who we pay health insurance for every month and buy him 70 bags of dog food bc he has food sensitivities, goes along with us everywhere, sleeps in our bed, is a huge part of our family!. Needless to say I consider ourselves pretty good pet owners.

We took the decision to get a cat very seriously, we did our research, got everything ready, got a cat tree, litterbox, cat bed, ect..even installed a cat door from kitchen to laundry rm so she could have her own space. We decided on a kitten so she could grow up with the children and be used to being around kids.

Back to the shelter, we've been there several different times looking everytime the lady in the front is very rude and short with you. When we went this past time we were sent to their small rm the one lady eyeballed me up and down like I ran a cat slaughter house. We spent an hour or so picking out a kitten, when we went to the other space there are cats everywhere sneezing, puss in their eyes, one cat was even bleeding from its nose.
The lady who is usually in front office asked what I was looking for when I said we def want a kitten she huffed under her breath and says "Well that's not gonna happen!" I must have looked appalled and she goes "we don't adopt kittens to any one with children." Really!? Maybe you should have told me that BEFORE we spent hours there. I couldn't believe the ignorance in her voice like what was I thinking trying to adopt an animal from her shelter... silly me...that's what I thought it was there for.

We drove right up to ruth steinhart in pine Grove, and adopted a kitten. the cats were clean and very well taken care of, the people were so friendly and helpful, it was a great experience!

On a side note my parents adopted a cat from hillside a yr ago when they took her to vet she had 105 fever, ear mites, and was severely matted.

Also when I was in there with my 4yr old one worker went on to yell about the "[censored]"all over the place.

I was fuming when I left, the worker in the cat section is just extremely rude. Bc of her a kitten there missed out on a very long happy life :/
