**PLEASE READ IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING ADDING A MEMBER OF YOUR FAMILY FROM HERE**

My boyfriend and I had recently decided on bringing in a little ball of joy into our home after some very tragic events happened to our family. We had originally planned to adopt from a shelter or a breeder, but in a moment of weakness we walked into Petland and found the most adorable little kitten and couldn't resist this [expensive] little guy.

We brought him into the vet for his first check-up just as the warranty said. The vet checked him out and said that he was good to go and to bring him in for his shots the next week.

Our first week with Mr. K was amazing. We couldn't wait to come home and be with him. He was mellow but always wanted love and affection... his favorite place was in our arms.

Our second week with Mr. K was awful. That following Tuesday, Mr. K started having seizures. When I called the vet they said that it is extremely rare for that to happen to cats, so I immediately took him in.

They gave him seizure medication and kept him overnight for observation. By Thursday his condition had gotten so bad that he became blind. The vet told us the next option was to take him to a neurologist which was not covered under Petland's warranty. That would be a $180 just for the initial checkup which does not include the $2000+ MRI bill and other testing that would have come next.

When we went to go see Mr. K he was not even the same cat. His movements were erratic, he was antsy, his pupils were extremely dilated and nothing would calm him down.

After speaking with the vet further about our options, they suggested that the most humane option for Mr. K was to be euthanized.

We had him for 10 days. Regardless of the amount of time, he had become a part of our family. It is no coincidence that this happened and we bought him from Petland. There are so many awful stories about buying pets from these places and how sick they end up being. While this isn't a reflection of the staff there, it is a reflection of their product and the inbreeding that occurs at puppy mills and catteries. Petland needs to be shut down for the safety of their animals currently there and the ones to come in the future. Please take something from our experience and reconsider when buying a pet from any pet store.
