"I’m shocked by the 1 star reviews about Terese. I never had any issues emailing her or talking to any volunteers in person when I met the kitties. Anyways, I adopted the sweetest girl who was clearly well loved! The foster mom was so kind and I was happy to talk with her. The volunteers are helpful. Thank you!"

"I want to personally thank everyone at Cat Crusaders for their patience and understanding throughout our adoption process. Like many adopter everywhere I was frustrated and Terese was just wonderful and took the time to explain all the processes. Finally the stars aligned and this week and we finalized our adoption of “Juju Bee.” She was just meant to be ours. She is the happiest kitten we’ve ever seen! From the moment we touch her she purrs to the moment she falls asleep. She is the sweetest little thing and has us smiling all day long. We must give credit to her foster parents who did a remarkable job socializing her. Everyone at Cat Crusaders was professional, friendly, and helpful. We would definitely recommend Cat Crusaders to anyone looking to adopt a new cat or kitten. They do everything feasible to ensure your new family member is happy and healthy — vaccinations, testing for FeLV and FIV, spay/neuter, deworming, and applying flea and tick medicine. These services and far exceed the very reasonable adoption fee. We are so grateful and now realize that the bumpy ride to adoption was God making sure we and JuJu Bee found each other. We would definitely adopt again from Cat Crusaders! Sincerely, Kimberly and Mark"

"Terese has a very rude and questionable approach for adoption. She told me I wasn't fit because I left my previous cat with my Mom 10 years ago when I relocated to Florida from out of state. What a croc! I saw all the previous 1 star reviews and decided to give this place a chance anyway because my daughter and husband were excited about a cat they posted on pet finder. People seem to complain about the same thing. Might want to listen and tighten that up. Your judgement is very flawed Terese."

"Talked to Terese today, and she asked about letting a cat outside, which I said sure. This ended the conversation. She didn't even give me a chance to talk about being on my screened in porches with the cat, or taking it for a leashed walk, if it was interested in that. Just straight up ended the conversation by saying no, they won't adopt. Didn't elaborate on anything. I get the sense she cares about the cats, but expects everyone to have the same understand of her questions intent that she does. No Terese, I don't plan on letting the cat run wild outside and interact with strays, other animals, or allow them to wreak havoc on other wildlife, but we didn't even get to that part."

"We adopted our Pickles (Charming at the time of adoption) 2 weeks ago. Terese was fun to talk to and explained our options for our orange tabby since we were the first people to see them when posted on the website. Be aware there are many cats that are "bonded" meaning they have to go with their partners, so if you fall in love with one you have to take them both. Honestly having 2 kittens is easier than 1 because they play with one another. Pickles was added to our family after we adopted another kitten through a family that couldn't care for one. Since our adoption they're getting along just like brothers! Thanks to Terese and the team for helping us find our sweet Pickles!"
