Kitten Angels — Local services in Town of Northampton

Judie who runs kitten angels is a remarkable woman. She is a senior who handles an incredible amount of work, along with many other volunteers, who put in an enormous amount of time, work and resources in as well.

They have been doing this for over 45 years, so take their advice and do what they say when you call.

Judy is so busy, she may not have time to sugarcoat your instructions and guidance, as I see from some reviews people need to be spoken to very gently or would like cat valet service from a volunteer…!!

This woman has no free time on her hands, and just gets to the root of the problem and tries to handle quickly and swiftly. Keep in mind she can be in the middle of a rescue (she rescued 15 cats/pregnant kittens with me) and still answered every call - she does not give up on helping these innocent souls. She is so busy and is dealing with dozens of different situations at any given moment. Be patient!

You must bear with her and not judge her harshly. She is doing her best to try and help everybody but you also need to do your part, the two women I met are angels and I’m so grateful that they are helping get these cats caught and adopted through their rescues every day… Please consider volunteering and helping these ladies. They always need help, and there are not enough rescue organizations out there, as people think. So the few organizations out there are completely overwhelmed!

Btw- for the people with negative reviews, it seems they are based on a quick conversation.. put yourself in their shoes, try volunteering or witnessing what they do and you’ll see the work and devotion these ladies commit themselves to every single day. Shame on people for judging before getting to know them and their good deeds, that they don’t get paid for!!!

They volunteer all their time from rescuing to running the administration of the nonprofit, to vetting adoptive parents, to physically catching and transporting these cats to vets, fosters, etc…

God bless them and their devotion and love for these...

I really dislike leaving negative reviews, however in this instance, I do feel it necessary. As a recent review stated, the lady running the organization - Judie, is verbally abusive and runs the organization in a dictator-like fashion. I actually tried to respectfully address it with her and got removed from the private group in return. The lack of integrity and accountability is very unfortunate. There seems to be more concern with her maintaining power than about what's best for the cats and kittens. There are additional/specific details I will withhold from sharing. However, I do have to say there are some AWESOME/AMAZING individual fosters and volunteers within the organization. It is again, unfortunate that the one in charge would rather demean those individuals than encourage an environment of supportive fosters and volunteers. My advice would be if you have the opportunity to support those specific individuals and the cats/kittens, you absolutely should - but I would think twice about involving yourself with anything to do with Judie. I also always take it as a red flag when a page on Facebook disables their reviews feature..just saying. Is it really too much to ask for leaders of an organization to remain in their integrity and be accountable for their actions?!? I don't think it is.. At the end of it all, at least I got the two sweetest little kittens out of the...

After the passing of my cat a couple years back, I decided to open up my home to a new furry friend. I did a lot of looking around, and finally came across a beautiful baby for adoption through Kitten Angels at Petco. I read through the reviews and saw more than my fair share of negative reviews, it worried me a bit, but I chose to go forwards with the process. I filled out an application, left a voicemail, and texted the number. Through the website I saw it could take up to 48 hours to get a reply, no big deal. After about 3 days, i tried the number again, no answer. I decided to try the number on their website, to my relief, someone answered. She wasn’t very friendly, but let me know to wait a few more days. Again, no big deal, I understand people can be busy. Though from there, I still hear nothing, I call, text, and message their Facebook page, to still no response for almost a week. By the time the weekend rolls around, I find out by returning to Petco, that the kitty I have been looking at has already been adopted. I am extremely disappointed in the lack of professionalism, customer service, and diligence to return messages to people looking to give a kitty a loving new homes. Even a message to let me know the kitty I was looking at has been adopted would have been better then finding his spot empty and his...
