Feral I've been feeding I thought was a boy until lately I noticed weight gain. I think she is a pregnant female. Villa Michelle gives out appointments on the first Monday of the month. Get there by 5 am, they open at 7 am to get on line. Arrived at 7am & at 9 am I got an appointment for next month. Only 2 animals per appointment. Part 2 will be actual sterilization.
I’ve read some negative reviews about this place that has me scared until I went. So let me address those concerns, maybe it will help.
1) don’t bother calling, like lots of health services here, it’s best if you show up. They don’t have a large staff and they favor the people in front of them. It’s best to just show up around 8 or earlier and get in line. This is also true when I take my daughter to the doctor. You can make an appointment on the first Monday of the month but I think it’d be pretty useless. For reference I got there around 8 today and was done by 11:15 or so. We only needed shots
2) they have plenty of shade, but it’s an outdoor waiting room, so don’t expect AC
3) be chill and they’ll be chill with you. This a general rule of thumb here. People are usually trying their best and they want to be nice, but you get what you give here.
4) good luck if you don’t speak Spanish. I’m sure they can work with you if you don’t, but I didn’t see any indication that it was a bilingual space.
If you don’t have time to set an appointment with a normal vet but can afford to wait a few hours on a given day, this a great option. Prices were good too!
I had an extremely disappointing experience with Albergue Villa Michelle due to their irresponsibility and lack of professionalism. I reached out to them hoping to schedule a sterilization appointment for my cat, and they initially responded, asking me to text them during the week. However, when I followed up, they simply left me on read and never provided any assistance; to make matters worse, they only allow appointment scheduling on the first Monday of each month, meaning I missed my opportunity due to their lack of communication. Unfortunately, I’m not the only one, several friends have had the same experience with their unresponsiveness; this isn’t the first time I’ve encountered poor service from them, in the past, when we needed urgent help, we visited them in person, only to be met with rudeness and indifference. Instead of assisting us, they dismissed us and told us to go elsewhere. If you’re looking to sterilize your pet or need any kind of help, do not rely on them. Their lack of communication, irresponsibility, and unprofessional behavior make them an unreliable choice. I strongly recommend looking for other, more professional and compassionate organizations that genuinely care about animal welfare. they deserve less than a star if i’m being honest

5 months agoThe friendliest people and excellent service. Get there around 7:30am you sign the list. The vet gets there around 9:30am. Very good prices.

4 months agoWe adopted a dog from here during our vacation and brought him back to South Florida with us. Everything went smoothly we could not be any happier.
