KittyKind Yelp and Other Reviews Flagged and GaggedUpdate - 2/16/2009The Original First Review goes through a regular removal process. Was it flagged? Itwas not flattering to KittyKind.More people who have been deceived by them should post their experiences so that thegeneral public is informed and not misled by KittyKind's manipulated overposts of howwonderful they are.I'm glad my original review started many people on REVIEWING this unsavoryorganization, some of the original reviews remain. For how long I wonder? Background:see http://mysite.verizon....According to their newest, top posted reviews, (emphasis on the term TOP POSTING)KittyKind has improved their treatment of people who come in to adopt. Just as MarleneKess was attempting to bury the dead carcasses of cats in her NJ home, KittyKind istrying to bury negative reviews on all sites including Commentsearch by "top posting".I thought I was the only one who was aware of what they were doing until I came acrossa snippet which apparently was flagged or somehow removed from yelp as were manyother less flattering reviews.The Top Posting campaign is quite thorough, even a mention of their negative presence posted in a Petco review has been removed.Freedom of speech is ready to die in America.All of the current reviews that remain say the same thing, use the same catch phrases"amazing" "wonderful" "dedicated" "no-kill". Why do they feel the need to emphasizeno kill? hmmI know KittyKind better than in passing. The original reviews on Yelp andCommentsearch told the truth about KittyKind, now they are manipulated beyond belief.Use the adoption kit I posted on my website and see if they'll answer any of the questionsyou need the answers to. See if they'll even allow you to use the form. It will force themto be more honest. I created the form because as an Adoption Representative for them for 7 years I know the things you should be asking in the adoption interview and I know thatyou need to walk out of the adoption site with the cat's medical papers.The microchip the cats have were inserted by the CACC before KittyKind even took thecats out of the shelter. It is CACC mandatory procedure.The chip needs to be activated by whoever adopts the cat and KittyKind is supposed togive the paperwork to you so that this can be done. The only information on the chip at
 
the time of adoption is that this particular cat was removed from the CACC by KittyKind.I have original files and I can prove this. And that's the truth.My original (and the very first review of KK that Casey is referring to - NO she was notthe first to review) keeps disappearing from the site. Some other original unflatteringreviews are also gone from the site.To protect yourself from going through the same experience I went through with thisorganization print out the Foster/Adoption Kit that I posted so that you know what to ask about and what papers to get when you adopt from them. As a former AdoptionRepresentative for KittyKind, I spent close to 7 years observing and learning what YOUshould be asking when you adopt or foster.Take this adoption/foster kit with you. Ask the questions that protect you from dodgedquestions and dropped files.Be sure to get Original medical record hardcopies to take home with you, do not acceptcopies.
Screen Before Fostering or Adopting
You're screened for adopting and fostering aren't you? You have a right to ask questionstoo - PRINT OUT these FORMS and use them. There is no charge for this service.Paper trails prevent "misunderstandings" or denying that a promise was made. Signed paper holds up better than words that fade into the very air moments after being spoken.Promises are made to be broken. A picture is worth a thousand words - yes, keep picturestoo!1. Please do your homework before fostering since Marlene Kess, who was convicted of animal abuse in NJ is now adopting out kittens in Park Slope, Brooklyn2. Read these forms and ask the questions that I've designed to protect you - policies arenot something that should change depending on who is being recruited to foster or adopt..3. Be sure to get everything in writing and signed - oral promises do not hold up in courtand are easily denied by the unscrupulous.
