My Nonprofit Reviews

Monika and Mercedes are two of the most beautiful and compassionate people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing in my life! What they do for these animals is truly amazing! Their hearts are in the right place, they see to every animal at their sanctuary, and I love going there and volunteering all the time!

Don't be fooled by other people's comments, this is not a rescue - it's a sanctuary.

All the animals that are blessed to make it over to Villa Chardonnay stay there until the day they pass. Just getting to be the animals that they are and being well taken care of.

Keep up the great work ladies!

I still believe that SCA does an amazing job for any of the cats and kittens that come into their care! Avarie Will always be one of the most incredible people I can say that I've known in my life!

Working there on the other hand, quite another story! The turnover rate for various job titles at SCA is insane! And while I feel grateful and happy to have been able to help kitties through them for 3 years, the way in which I was parted with was downright absurd!

There was no justifiable reason in letting me go, and their HR person wasn't even aware of the means I was being paid while on staff (Clueless)! They told me it was because they were transitioning out of Long Beach shelter and that there would be no more grant money to pay me as Long Beach wouldn't be in the picture anymore.

Since the day I was hired, I have always been in the Garden Grove area and, was always paid through Garden Grove's contracts with us (which they had just renewed literally a week before they let me go).

Not only that, I suffered emotionally, mentally, physically under the direction of my immediate boss at the time. They gaslighted me, broke down all my confidence, I could never do anything right and they let me know that, screamed at me over the phone daily and, my mental health suffered immensely! Still, I managed to do amazing work (Even though I doubted myself everyday)!

I really never did anything wrong to warrant such treatment by them but, it is what it is at this point!

I built strong relationships in the communities we served, and had quite the report amongst the public in all my interactions, as well as the shelters and their staff.

I miss this job immensely! I wanted nothing but to fulfill their mission statement and keep on doing what I was doing at the time of my being let go...

Now, I just do it by myself! I will still treasure my time with this organization, even though there's a lot lacking within the internal part of it.
