I adopted 2 kittens from Cat Tales Rescue in Seabrook, NH eight weeks ago. The day we went there; the address was incorrect online & it took us 30 min to find the office space they occupy. There are no signs or numbers on the building indicating it's a rescue & the windows have white paint smeared on the inside so you cannot see in or out. We were brought into a room our kittens were in & left alone. It was such an awful site in that room. I have pictures of my kittens & 4 other cats squished under the sink in that room hiding in the cupboard. The urine smell was so intense that we couldn't stay long. We were told to come back in 5 days because the vet needed to clear them. My mission now became to rescue these babies from this "rescue". We did pick them up which was also awful. Six families waited 45 min for the owner to show up & the first couple left without their kittens due to an eye infection. I was told my kittens were healthy & Kelly the owner said she wasn’t sure why bloodwork was done on the female but it was all normal. Well within 24 hrs of having my kittens home, they were in the ER with 104 fevers and pneumonia. They were filthy, smelled like urine & the vet had to cut stuff out of the boys tail because it was so matted. We've now had two ER visits, five vet visits & six different prescriptions. They had viral and bacterial infections, multiple parasites & the vet said they would not have made it much longer if they were not seen that day. He showed us that the blood work results done at the shelter were all elevated including infection/ inflammatory markers. They also were not micro chipped as promised . I reached out to the rescue multiple times with no response. In the females records I was given by the shelter, we also discovered that the rescue vet had prescribed an antibiotic for an eye infection for 10 days. I picked the kittens up on day 5 of it with no mention of any medication being prescribed. The application that they have you fill out states that all cats are have feline herpes. This is not true at all! They know they are selling sick kittens. I wish I had read it more thoroughly, but was just so excited to adopt new kittens and would've never expected them to be in this condition. There is no way that the vet saw these kittens and cleared them as being in good health. The ER vet & my vet of 17 years said they haven't seen such a sad, horrible case of neglect in years. This “ non profit organization “ also had its 501c revoked 3 years ago - its on IRS site. NONE of their information such as their EIN a number; financial IRS documents such as Form 990, 501c- is available to view on their website. it all should be available as they clearly receive donation
