Reply to Don't Go Capital View Apartments by _DELTA_EPSILON_

Lol hi I lived here for 2 years and just moved back.

It is a good deal, has parking, but yes it is a dump. I have never had pest issues though due to my behemoth whale cats. It used to smell really bad in the common areas but now it’s a little better, so that’s a perk. I got my packages delivered to the mail room today with the logic if anyone steals it I’ll get my money from Amazon, but you are right, I wouldn’t get anything valuable from family shipped here. Of course garbage chutes are dirty lol. Also the back parking lot turns into an ice skating rink due to the lack of salt and plowing combined with the shape of the building blocking the sun.

I have laid out roach bait and traps for my time here before and now and have only stumbled upon a couple, which pails in comparison to some of the places I’ve lived in other parts of this country. I do keep a tidy home though and would never leave food out obviously?

The fire alarms do go off all the time because folks cook Smokey cuisine and keep their doors open to waft it into the halls and they smoke inside cause folks are simply inconsiderate. This has a lot to do with the smell I previously complained about which was worse a few years back.

You get what you can afford sadly lol.

Edit: all in all this apartment isn’t for the faint of heart, but it is a convenient location, has flexible leases, and is more affordable than the fancy downtown ones.

So the independent vet didn’t notice it either? Again, that’s part of the adoption process before you bring home. If no one noticed until you got home, that’s not on the shelter.

Edit: Ah I guess delete your posts and run away because you got caught in a lie. Classic Reddit.

We didn’t notice it until we got him home. And at the time he had only been at the cat connection and home.

But trust me I’m not trying to prove it to some random user on Reddit who can’t see how overwhelmed that place is. They can’t handle the work they do.

I’d love to see how you can prove your adopted cat has eye issues specifically from the shelter and not just because she caught an illness at any point or is a genetic issue. Part of their adoption process is having an independent vet give an exam before bringing cat home.

And if you knowingly adopted a cat with an eye problem and then you’re mad at the shelter….I’m not sure what to tell you. Maybe choose a perfectly healthy cat next time. Or if it developed the eye issue after adoption, it’s either genetic, luck of draw illness, caught something from an existing cat at home, or on you yourself.

Some of their cats are sick because they take in cats found on the street barely alive or who are already sick. They don’t just magically heal when dropped off at shelter, it takes time.

It smells like cats in there….I’m not sure what you’re expecting to smell in an indoor shelter with 20 or so cats. You could clean every hour and it will still smell like cats.

And if you actually had adopted cats from there, you would know that they cover all care for the 6 months or so, I forget the exact amount of time.

Sounds like you have a personal vendetta, but you can’t just lie and make things up.

No it absolutely is not! We got our cats from there and they were all sick and needed a ton of care. It smells disgusting and many of their cats are very I’ll. No place for them to run around. Under no circumstances should you send any more cats there.

So sorry you're going through this. :( Can you give a little more detail? Male or female? Is kitty good with other cats and/or dogs? Okay with kids? If you don't know these things, it may be best to let a shelter take the cat in so they can verify and find a proper home. You can Google Protectors of Animals in East Hartford and start there. Best of luck.
