Our Shelter

FLORIDA HUMANE SOCIETY — located in POMPANO BEACH, FL
They promised me a cat — when I arrived on the requested day — they gave it to someone else
I visited this Humane Society 4 weeks ago. Met with the Director «Carol» told her I was searching for a long hair cat 1 – 3 years old. She took me around the facility — we had a nice conversation — she informed me someone was going to surrender a long haired male cat — she thought it was a Persian or Rag Doll. She told me to leave my number at the front desk & she will call me.
Week #2– I drive to Pompano Humane Society — looking for DLH cats– see Carol– asked about the Persian/​Rag Doll & if she heard from the owner looking to surrender the cat– she said «no-​not yet» Told her I was going to see what else she had– she took me on a tour again. As I was leaving I asked her to make sure to call me if she hears about the Persian/​Rag Doll– she confirmed she would & told me to put my name in the book at the front desk AGAIN — with a note specifying I wanted the LHD cat. I did as requested
Week #3– which was November 2, 2014– I drove all the way to Pompane Humane Society– saw Carol at the desk– asked if she heard from the Persian/​Rag Doll owner yet– she said: «did anyone call you from the Humane Society?» told her no! She said: «He is here now» Told her it was a good thing I decided to show up.
She took me to me the Persian/​Rag Doll male cat known as FROST. I fell in love with him. Took out my camera & took photos of him so I can show people how gorgeous he is. She told me «the owner surrendered him because he urinates on the baby’s clothes» I told her that is not a problem with me & that maybe it had to do with the lack of attention. I told Carol-​the DIRECTOR that I wanted him. Asked what I had to do to bring him home. She told me that the Vet has to check him out & make sure he is healthy & that I needed to fill out their paper work.
I arrived at the front desk & they gave me the forms to complete & told me to bring that back on Thursday between 12 noon to 4PM; they are closed Monday– Tuesday & Wednesday.
I told them I would rather complete the forms there at that moment & give it to them on the spot.
It took 45 minutes to complete their forms. Very detailed information. Phone numbers– references etc. I I asked if they needed a deposit & was told «NO» by Carol. She said they will conduct their references etc. I told her I will retunr on Thursday 11÷6÷14 to bring him home. She said «okay– see you then»
November 6, 2014 I arrived at the Pompano Humane Society to adopt FROST — was greated by Carol. I told her I was there to take FROST home. She said she just adopted him out. I was in shock & disbelief. This is someone I have been talking with for weeks. She said «you didn’t call»
I told her I mentioned on Sunday that I was coming Thursday to get him. They are closed on Mon/​Tues/​Wed-​this is their first opened day. She knew I was coming from Hollywood. I gave her a brief recap about how I have been coming for weeks asking about FROST– summarizing out last visit on Sunday. She said– «I will put your name in my records to call you when I receive another DLH cat» Really? You & staff are asking for contact information WHY? You never use it.
BTW, I contacted the people I put down for references & they never called them.
Is it possible Carol– the Director decided to adopt the cat to someone she knows?
They play with your emotions. They have no problem wasting your time. BAD PEOPLE!
STAY AWAY FROM THIS HUMANE SOCIETY. CAROL should not be the Director. Total lack of professionalism. No communication what so ever–
HORRIBLE experience! Go elsewhere.
