Cat Snap is the most disorganized and unreliable animal adoption agency I have ever even tried. Not only was I unable to contact them via phone, when I tried to email, it was full of grammatical errors and misspellings? There was something very hostile and jarring about the team working here, it is hard to describe. It felt uncomfortable and strange and I worry about how they monitor and care for the animals when they can’t even *function* in a professional manner? Embarrassing...

This place does amazing things for cats in the area. There are so many volunteers involved in fostering, working adoption events, cleaning, providing basic medical care, managing Facebook pages, running fundraising auctions, trapping and sterilizing feral cats, transporting animals for veterinary care........the list goes on and on. Are there a few people whose people skills leave something to be desired? YES! Surprise! Sometimes people who choose to spend their time with animals aren’t “people people”. Everyone is a volunteer. No one collects a salary. No one! So let’s focus on the 1200 cats helped last year by this tiny little non-profit with a minuscule budget. Catsnap takes the cats none of the other shelters and rescues want....the black ones, the ones with FIV, the ones missing a leg, the blind ones. Focus on the good and the animals.

This place deserves zero stars. I should have looked at the Yelp reviews before trying to work with this shelter. The leadership, if you can call it that, is inept and downright rude. It is obvious that the individuals running Catsnap have had zero experience managing any kind of organization. They are fixated on petty drama, which they seem to attract lot of. Frankly, they are an unpleasant group to deal with. From their communication style - confrontational, poor grammar, and emotionally stunted - to the point blank harassing and appalling text messages that prospective adopters and volunteers are subjected to, Catsnap is a mess inside and out. I was not impressed with what I saw of the physical lodging for the cats. Multiple cats in small windowless rooms left alone for hours at a time. It is obvious that this organization is simply a power trip for those without any other source of control in their lives, and the cats are just an aside. I would strongly recommend against adopting from or volunteering with Catsnap. Do yourselves a favor and work directly with the Humane Society. They're far more honest and transparent.

I encourage anyone who has had a similarly negative experience with Catsnap (and there are lots, as the other reviews demonstrate) to post reviews here so that more people will learn the truth about this shelter.
