Where the HECK is She? I am SO UPSET!
 

Sorry guys, but I have to vent and no one will understand more than animal lovers. I dropped my cat off at the groomers at about noon. This is MaiTai's first time going to that groomer's. They didn't even ask for her shot record or rabies proof. I remember the lady said about 3 times that she won't be ready until AFTER 6 because she was going on her lunchbreak and won't be able to start on her until 3. That was fine because she is a himilayan and I asked her to wash her, brush her and trim her. So I get there at about 10 after and the door is locked. I even walked around the building looking for someone. I noticed a sign on the door that said they only release animals during working hours of 8-12 2-6. But they run a Pet Hotel too, so I thought that was regarding the Pet Hotel.
I am SO upset. I check my cell for msgs. and went home and checked the answering machine. NOTHING. You would think they would call me and tell me what's going on right? You think they would ask if I was on my way. You think they would tell me that they are going to close up and leave my cat there. What if she was on a special diet? Mai Tai has never spent a night away from the house, she is a very skiddish girl and I am so worried. I was even worried about her only being gone for 3 hours. I will not be able to sleep tonight. I have left so many messages now. I had thought that people were there 24/7 because it was a Pet Hotel. I am POSITIVE the lady said come after 6. If she said come before 6 or come at 6 SHARP I would have remembered. God it is going to be a long night without my cat.

I would want quite thee explanation tomorrow, she could have called, that is crazy! I'd be hot.

yeah, I feel like I am going to throw up and I'm almost in tears. You guys don't know this cat.... It took her 2 years to warm up to my family to the point where she jumps in our laps. She doesn't like strangers, everytime they come over she hides. She HATES leaving our house. Somehow she knows it's time to go to the vet/groomer and she will hide. I even had trouble leaving her there because she was cowered in her pet carrier. Then they weren't even smart enough to remove their big dog that was running around. I shouldn't have even dropped her off when it was jumping at her Pet Carrier on the counter. They probably still let him jump at her while she was being brushed. I'll bet she is just terrified right now.
I feel so sorry for her. I think I am going to drive over there and put up signs on their door to call me asap. Maybe I will get lucky and someone will come there in the middle of the night. They might not listen to the messages, but they should listen if I write about a special diet that they DID NOT ask about.

OMG I would be so upset, as I'm sure you are. Make sure you let them allll know how you feel on the subject!!! That is just mean, to do that to someone they know would be frantic (any person who loves their pet!) Let us know what happens tomorrow!

That's horrible os their an emergency number since they are a pet motel?

I looked on the internet and they don't appear to have a website. There is only one number listed and it doesn't mention an emergency $. And another horrible thing. They didn't give me any paperwork when I dropped her off. They could even call me a liar if they wanted to and say they never saw her. I'm getting more worried by the minute

OMG I'm so sorry! we have a cat just like that (afraid of strangers etc) I'm sad for you. let us know what happens. and give that lady h*ll tomorrow! :mad:

Thanks guys. I think that I found the phone number to the owner. I hate to interrupt a person's dinnertime, but I'm worried about her and this shouldn't have happened.

That's freak'n crazy!!! I would call them up tomorrow and give them some major attitude! :mad:

Call! Is it slightly possible that they thought you wanted to keep her there? :confused:

she'll have to give up some of her dinnertime. this is your baby..that's more important. I say call. :thumbup:

no way. She said 3 times to pick her up after 6 and no one is answering. They have 2 numbers, one is a recording that says there is someone there 24/7 because it's a pet hotel. The other is the answering machine that I'm about to fill up.
The internet phone numbers aren't working. One ended up being a fax and the other has the same name Jackie Rowe, but she doesn't own the pet hotel :(

Well, if something is wrong (but what could go wrong with a groom :confused: ) then they should have called you. MAN I would be pissed! :thumbdown

ROWES LA MESA PET HOTEL
8126 CENTER ST, LA MESA
CA 91942
(619) 466-6166
and
619-460-6407 (home) of the owner (but really a fax number!)
According to the internet the owner is Jackie Rowe and she breeds cocker spaniels.

I googled her name, but only 2 came up. I called and they are not her. Does anyone else have any other ideas to find the owner?

OMG there would be hell to pay!!! I'm sorry this happened to you.
