  I found a wounded stray cat at home. Poor baby had a fish hook stuck in his mouth. I tried to bring him to a local vet (Fontenot's) but they turned him away because he was a stray and I couldn't pay. I went to the St. Landry Animal Control and they gladly accepted him. The reason I took away two stars is because I had to sign a statement stating that this was not my cat nor my neighbors. It also states that I could be charged with animal abandonment if it is for my neighbor. They even made a copy of my license. I am new to Opelousas. Where I live, they have a few stray cats. How will I know if this one particular cat is for a neighbor? How can I be charged with abandonment? I brought the cat to a place that can help him and give him the medical treatment it needs??? It's not like I just dropped him off in a neighborhood just to get rid of him. I did all I could to help the poor thing! Thank you for accepting him but y'all need to rethink the abandonment threat.

  I have called them 6 times and never gotten an answer. They care more about their presence on facebook than they do actually helping animals.

  My family was interested in adopting a dog, Charlie, that was posted on their Facebook page. We emailed the shelter that night asking for additional information with the intention of going to the shelter the next day to meet the dog with our kids. The emails were answered by Stacy Alleman, deputy director of the shelter. She was not giving us much information through the emails so I decided to call the next day before driving an hour out of town. After several calls (first couple times the phone rang with no answer) Stacy finally answered. I asked about the history of the dog and for information pertaining to his behavior with kids. Her answers were very brief and border line rude. She seemed bothered by my questions and not interested in finding any animal a home let alone the one I was asking about. After being told that she could not help me with the information I was looking for I ended the conversation before I became even angrier than I was. Stacy Alleman, deputy director is the main reason my family and I decided not to adopt Charlie. Her rudeness over the phone and email completely turned us away from the shelter. My hope is that her boss is made aware of her poor attitude but given her position I do not harbor much hope.
