Wow. Let me address a few of these issues - Starting with the fact that I am not hiding  who I am or pretending to be some factitious friend. The Lowville Countryside Vet examined my animals and Im sure they will verify their condition.

I was not told anything about an issue with a child until January after I had begun insisting on some photos of my animals. At this point, and never before, I was told that you had a sick child and wanted to take a vacation in April, therefore I should find something else for my animals by April. If you had said to me that care was unavailable due to a sick child I would have understood that. I took my animals out of there in January, 3 days after you sent that email.

Your business is supposed to be a Not For Profit Agency, catering to long term needs of deployed soldiers. Just because youre nonprofit, does this mean I shouldnt expect good care for my animals? I paid every month for all their expenses. I didnt complain when you put the price up. You made your business Non Profit.

I am the one that feeds Flint River Food. When I dropped the cats off, they had 2 bags with them. I offered to continue ordering that food. You said that since you were a dealer it would be easier for you to use your food which you assured me was as good  quality as mine. I paid every month for all their expenses. I paid whatever the bill was that you forwarded to me every month.

I have 2 cancelled checks dated the day I dropped the animals off. I paid for two months in advance. So how could we have had a 15 day contract? Furthermore, you advertise yourself as long term care for soldiers pets. I dont know any soldiers that deploy for 15 days. We talked about the care lasting 1-3 months and possbily as long as 4. Again, it wasnt until January that any indication was given that you were having any problems caring for the pets.

I did receive one set of photos during the second month of their stay with you. Photos were something we had discussed would be forthcoming every month. I requested photos when I paid my bill each month. If I requested them again, it wasnt because I wanted pictures each week; it was because I didnt get any. One month you did say your camera broke. The next month I was promised them but they werent received. In January you said that the cats were under the bed, the birds were scared of the flash and the rabbits didnt like to be held. These were your reasons? This is what made me realize you didnt want me to see the condition of my animals.

As for your hard drive breaking I dont see how thats my problem? I also notice it didnt stop the bills from getting to me.

My friend does not talk in the manner you portray. She owns cats and many other animals herself. She would never ill-treat an animal.

I didnt know the cats had been kenneled. I have no problem with kennels so long as they are fed properly and taken to vet if needed. When I dropped them off I was told they were going in their own part of the house so they wouldnt be disturbed by dogs. If they had been to a vet you could have stopped any issues with peeing. I left my credit card information with the vet; it really shouldnt have been an issue.

I knew nothing about my sons bird dying until my friend arranged to pick the animals up. She then emailed me and let me know. I do still have all the emails I was sent by you and everything I sent to you. Its a bird; I understand that small animals do die. Sadly though, I believe this was due to neglect and apathy. I would love to see the bill from the exotic vet it was taken to. Where is the nearest exotic bird vet to Ft. Drum? Syracuse perhaps? A vet bill was something I was more than willing to pay for. I still am, if youd like to send it to me.

I hope that anyone reading this information will think twice before leaving any animal in the care of this person regardless of whether its for boarding or grooming. I believe I already showed in the first report the awful care that was shown to my pets.  Her initial rebutal shows the person really has no care for animals at all.  If there were legitimate reasons for the lack of care they would have been solved easily.

This is not somebody who should be dealing with animals. A search of rip-off report will show that she has other issues regarding puppy breeding.
