We left our cat at Escarpment Pet Retreat for four nights. The staff we dealt with were friendly. But our cat experience was not pleasant at all. When picked him up, the place had a foul stench that was much worst than when we dropped him off. The awful stench attached itself to our cat and his carrier box and we had to clean both immediately upon arrival at home. The cats at this "retreat" are held up in small cages in a small room attached to the front office, In an adjacent room we could hear dozens of dogs continually barking, adding another layer of stress; this is hardly a retreat! Our cat showed signs of deep stress; during his stay he only consumed about 1/5 of the food we left for him and we left him with his normal daily portions. He was also foaming at the mouth when we picked him up. And now we need to find a vet as he seems to be dealing with some kind of infection: he is lacking energy, sneezing and breathing through the mouth.
