Knine Rescue Inc

I adopted a kitten from KNine Rescue, Inc, and my kitten died -- along with five of her six littermates -- of a virus picked up in the president's "Cattic" after she repeatedly failed to quarantine or sanitize appropriately. The president of the organization is highly unethical, runs an unlicensed cat shelter on her personal property (which she misrepresents as an extension of her legally-recognized-but-still-problematic rescue despite multiple Animal Control investigations resulting in her only being allowed to foster cats), and has contributed to the deaths of at least 9 cats in 2023 alone. She is a terrible communicator who responds to tiktok comments and yelp reviews before fosters dealing with emergencies, keeps up to 25 cats in one shared space without proper quarantine measures or sanitation (I've never been to the "Cattic," but she proudly describes it on her tiktok), has spread multiple communicable diseases (panleukopenia, feline herpes, and ringworm) between cats in this space, laughs at her role in animal abuse (including throwing her phone at a cat hard enough to crack the screen) and the dead cats she finds in her "Cattic," lies about her role in all of these situations, and refuses to ever admit wrongdoing or apologize for her willful failures in caring for these animals. She refuses to pay for emergency veterinary care for dogs or cats on the licensed or unlicensed side of the rescue despite claiming to spend $100k each on 12+ vet partners annually, lacks transparency in animal care and finances, has a side pet-sitting business for which she has conflicting information about where the proceeds go, and puts her own ego before the health and safety of animals. I recommend that you avoid this organization and its president at all costs.

Update: Creel and her volunteers have engaged in a campaign of harassment against me ever since I first tried to post a review. Their actions continue to escalate and include engaging with my unrelated business under false pretenses, implicit threats based on knowledge of my former address, and making some very dangerous accusations about my ability to work with children in the community. Please do not support this sort of cruelty to humans or to animals.
