Luv this store!!! All proceeds go to the animals. There are cats there you can adopt. They have a big petting room. This should be a model for all. So much stuff!!!!

I use to shop here more often but lately their prices have gotten to be ridiculously high. I realize this is to help animals, but everything is donated. The clothes and shoes are at great prices but kitchen and other items in the middle room are the problem. I have seen casserole dishes and plastic ware only a few dollars less than what it cost to buy new. Today I saw small white plates (appertizer) for a $1.00 each and I purchased some recently exactly like them for 1.50 each. I can see 50 cents each, they had a small candle in a little wire basket, 3 inches tall, 2 inches wide and dirty $15.00. It was nothing special. Should not have been more than 3.00 to 4.00. Just very disappointing. It is suppose to be a thrift store not an estate sale store.

Always a pleasure to shop and interact with the wonderful Team (human & furry) that keep this store ROCKING! I always find something unique or useful here, and at a price that is within budget.And then to be able to go in the Cat Room and snuggle an adorable kitten or cat is just the icing on the cake! A great cause and one of the best thrifts to donate or purchase from, in the region. Don’t miss!

I had a bad experience here recently that left me with a bad taste in my mouth. I’ve been having a really hard time and going to this store always makes me feel better so I was excited to pass by. I went to check out the store and when I pulled up I saw cat scratchers outside which I was excited about because I thought if they were a decent price I could get them to donate to the shelter. They typically have stuff outside of the store to purchase so I didn’t think anything of it when I saw this item outside. I went to look for a price and touched the top of the scratcher to see if I could find a price sticker when the young girl that occasionally works the register walked out and said in a nasty, irritable tone “that’s not for sale don’t touch it.” I think just saying it’s not for sale would have sufficed. The only reason I was touching it in the first place is because it was outside where other for sale items usually are. I’m assuming now that they were cleaning inside of the cat room which is why the cat supplies were outside but instead of having a sign that said “not for sale” an employee or volunteer with a bad attitude had to point it out. After this I really did not feel like giving them my business so I just left feeling like I was spoken down to for an innocent mistake. It’s really not hard to be kind to people. You don’t know what others are going through and I expected to be treated nicely at this establishment as I love going and usually have good experiences. I’m sure the workers have to deal with a lot and get irritated at people but it doesn’t feel right that they take it out on customers for innocent misunderstandings.

IF you like "finds" at good prices, you have to stop by if you are in the area. Hey, even coming off the interstate, IT IS WORTH IT!! I got my grandson some PERFECT tuxedo pants, for 4 dollars! Found a sheet and pillow set for 5 dollars. I was in a state of shock! GOOD shock!!

It was great, it can be a little bit hard to find,. It's the last few spaces of a strip mall. They had clothes and all the accessories to go with them. It you need a nice present for someone, this is where you need to go.

Everything you purchase goes to help them save cats. They have incredible deals on high end donated merchandise. I have bought entire dishware sets, a sewing machine, Christmas decorations, cookware and more. They also have a clothing room. I have donated as well. Super nice staff.

I love that the proceeds from the thrift store purchases go toward the animals! If you are like me and didn’t know, yes they have actual cats for adoption in their store! Staff is super friendly :)

I used to really enjoy going in this nice little shop, main reason was because it supported the kitty cats. But today I found that the prices where too high! Definitely had a couple of older women that where very rood! Upon getting out of my car I approached a lady out front using a water hose and I ask her where should I put the donations i was dropping off. We she was saying something but with her mask on and water hose was full blast I couldn't hear her. So eventually she pinched the hose and proceeded to tell to put the bags over there! And I ask again where she said over ghee! And i ask where over there? The che reluctantly said inside near the regisster. WOW! IT WILL BE A WHILE BEFORE I GO BACK FOR ANY REASON.

8 months ago I was wanting a kitty and I wandered into St. Francis Sanctuary Kitty Haven (which is located inside the thrift store). I fell in love with the number of kitties and brought one beauty home. The wonderful thing about Saint Francis Sanctuary is that they are very caring and responsible. I was told that should something happen and I could no longer care for my cat, all I had to do was call them and they would take her back. Which is a wonderful thing to me. one of my biggest fears about having a beloved animal is that if something were to happen to me who would take care of him or her. I can rest my mind now

Friendly atmosphere and some potential good finds, but the best part of the experience is knowing you're helping out their animal care with your purchase.

This place was ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE! Apparently it’s the only adoption agency for pets that does not allow you to adopt if you have children under 10, and when this was explained to me, the lady working there was EXTREMELY rude and unprofessional. I will never return to this site and recommend to anyone reading Not to support this inhumane society. Negative 1 star.

This rescue is amazing. The volunteers are very knowledgeable, and it's so clean! Please consider donating to the thrift store. Dog and cat food are always needed. LOVE!

Not a good environment for cats. Most of the kittens had fevers and eye infections. And not enough room for 10 plus cats.

The items for sale are all junk, the store is cluttered and if you are looking to adopt a cat I would skip this place and head to the humane society instead.
