Inky Blue Sea Companion Animal Rescue

Hello! My name is Alexandria and I am a mother of 2 and a wife as well. My husband and I spoke about adopting a kitten and I decided to check out Petco located in Riverdale. I went to Petco on January 12, 2016 with hopes of saving a life. While I was there I checked out the kittens that were available for adoption by «Inky blue» and spoke to a manager on site. The manager gave me a phone number and said to contact «William.» I spoke to William and told him I was interested in the male white and black cat by the name of Yoda. Yoda is 6 months and was I told he was not neutered and the price would be $ 65. I agreed and gave them all the information required as well as references. I waited around in the store to see what would be the status. Some time passed when the manager that I had previously spoke to notified me that William said Yoda had an adoption fee of $ 165 not $ 65. I told the manager that William never told me it was $ 165 and that Yoda was not fixed and why would I have to pay such a high price for adoption. He contacted William again left a message but didn’t get a call back. I left Petco with my 5 year old crying and to add on top of all this it was freezing cold out! I received a text from William today asking I can pick up Yoda this afternoon and I replied and said I will pick him up if he was only going to charge me the adoption fee he previously mentioned ($ 65). He said he didn’t understand what I was saying so I had him call me. When he called me from a blocked number I explained what he previously told me the day before. He started raising his voice but I remained calm and explained to him that there are so many cats that are looking for a good home but didn’t understand as to why I had to pay so much when he’s not fixed — as the paperwork stated on site! He proceeded to say Yoda was fixed and that was the set price. I started to speak again and he hung up the phone. I texted him saying I was going to write a review of my experience with him and he said if I did he would SUE ME! He also said «I wasted his time made him LOSE MONEY, I was manipulating and extremely ghetto». This is supposed to be a non-​profit rescue. I am so disappointed in how I was treated and that my daughter’s heart was broken as we looked forward to having Yoda join our family. Please do your research as to there be so many other rescues that have education and know how to speak to people. I hope all the animals under his care are treated the way they should be and hope they all find excellent homes regardless of the outcome I had with inky blue! Thanks for reading.
