Desperate Help Needed - Noah

[Catty1]

Phred - I asked Kelly about this, as she reported the rate was $10 AFTER 30 days. She seemed to think it was the FIRST 30.

The kennel I worked at had this policy...so I believe Kelly will be paying $12 a day for the first 30.

ETA: I found her post on P 6:

Uppydate on Balcom's Rates...I found out that it IS $12/day for kitties to stay and as per ASHLEY (everyone remember that...at 2:52pm on Aug 3) I spoke with her. (I'm sorry I didn't call until then, its been my day full of doctors appts, pharmacies and battling with my new COBRA, or lack of insurance...ugh!!! ) After he's been there a month, it goes to $10/day.

The Spa told ME that it was $12 DAILY rate;
and $10 / day on the MONTHLY rate.

If you agree to the MONTHLY rate, the FIRST MONTH "should be" at the Monthly rate.

If you stay in a Hotel or Motel, the "Weekly rate" applies at the beginning of the FIRST week -
not starting on Day #8.

This is a $62 per month difference - certainly worth arguing for!

definately - that's an extra 5-6 days for No-No or his Specialness!!!
Kelly likes the challenges - her cats and her momma - I've met her mom too - and she's special too!

Well - if she quoted what she was told - the monthly won't kick in for a month. Unless they will charge retroactively.

All I am saying is that the kennel I worked at had the same policy...and it meant, to use this case, that it was $12 a day from day 1 to day 30.

I know it is well worth fighting for, just don't know what grounds Kelly will have for that.

A double room at the kennel for my two is $20 a day...no breaks for me, even though I am still a friend and liked person there!

What an uplifting thread! Noah is one lucky cat to have so many friends here at PT!
I can only offer prayers that everything goes well...(we've run up quite the bill with Sherman's expenses & stuff, no extra $ right now...if only the darn house would sell )
God Bless everyone on PT!

Phred - I did my darndest to look up their rates online - but they don't have a website! Nor could I find a list of prices. They just have an email addy.

I don't know how prices are regulated in CA - but I don't think they would be under the Hotel and Motel act, or whatever that legislation is called in CA. Unfortunately, they would likely have a different law for pets than people.

Here in Alberta - kennels are completely unregulated! The one I worked at tells people to go SEE any place they are thinking of FIRST.

Having worked in the motel/hotel business.... this typically would apply if the person was paying UPFRONT for the entire week!

So I am kind of thinking that if the ENTIRE month was paid in full upfront, then that would apply. I don't know if a whole month was paid at once for Noah.

I would hope that, since they realize that there are many people helping with the costs of Noah's spa stay, and that it is going to be an "extended stay", they would make an exception and only charge the $10.00/day. I know "I" would have done that when I was managing the hotel! You want to do what you can to get that return business!

I will be calling with my donation, hopefully today. I wish it could be more, but my money is limited. I will do what I can.

Finally got someone to answer the phone at the Spa.. Noah is now $10.00 a day fee.. He was paid up till September 9th && with my donation Noah is paid up till September 19th now.. Woo Hoo.. I still wish I lived closer & this wittle baby could stay at my house.. Many Thanks to All the PT Family for Helping Kelly & Noah in this time of need..
