My Nonprofit Reviews

I adopted my kitty Andy in January of 2017. My cat of 13 years had just passed away and I was devastated and lonely. I decided to visit after peeking at the kitties on line and Andy was the last kitty I saw that day. I think I spent about an hour sitting with him and giving him treats and pets. The staff was so kind and patient and went over all of his medical history, he has FIV, and his previous adoptions and returns(yup he was returned twice!). I knew I was going to take him home but just needed a little time to process all the information and get my home ready for him. I placed a deposit and came back the next day to pick him up. Now here is the really speacial and amazing part. The Backes family happened to be at The ARL that day and when I went to “check out” and sign papers and things I was told that the adoption fee had been covered by the Backes Family and that they were actually covering all the fees for any adopted pets that day! ARL is such a special place and the community support is so wonderful. It has been a little over a year, we have moved to a new apartment and are still very happily together- furever!
