Ordered the sample box. Cats liked the kibble but not at all interested in the wet food. Wouldn't eat a bite. I couldn't find my subscription in order to cancel in time so now I have a month or more of - you guessed it - wet cat food. I have emailed them multiple times to get my satisfaction guaranteed cash back and requested a return label so I can return the food for a full refund but have yet to hear back. Very frustrating. Not at all what I expected. They don't have a phone number to call and speak to a representative. Ugh. 4 paws down.

Too much product and she doesn't like it
I received what I thought would be a starter pac but it was several tubs of wet food which my cat wouldn't touch and I tried two different types and by the way, they look disgusting! It looks like it already came out of the cat! That's what I was afraid of and I mentioned that when I said I just wanted my cat to try it and now I have all this foods she won't eat! I'd like to a refund
Response from Cat PersonMar 13, 2021
Hi Judy! A member of our team wrote to you several days ago, initiating a return of the products your cat won't eat. We're still waiting on a reply from you. Please check your email, so that we can get you squared away with a return and refund! We're sorry to hear this didn't work out for you or your cat.

AWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE
AWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE. Keren was passive aggressive, rude, and treated me like I was stupid. I have received no packages EVER after ordering from them. Once in January, the other in February. Both times the packages said delivered but never arrived at my home, and the post office never received the packages and had no idea where they were. I have sent multiple emails and it’s taken them usually 4 days to respond, or most recently not at all and I had to contact PayPal to get them to respond. Now they refuse to refund me for my order, and I am having to spend valuable time wasting it away trying to figure out how to get my money back. Keren literally told me to just search all of creation around my apartments and the post office, when it’s been missing both times, this last one it’s been over 2 weeks!!!!! The post office and my apartments don’t have it. Absolutely the worst experience I’ve ever had, STAY AWAY FROM THIS BRAND because if there is ever a problem they will flat out deny deny deny and not help. I just want my money back for a product I never received, they shouldn’t be blaming everything on me, this is your fault Cat Person, fix it.

Hi Lorelei,
We're so sorry if you felt that the service you received lacked empathy and understanding -- here at Cat Person, we always strive to take care of our customers, and we're committed to resolving your issues.
When we asked for more information about the delivery, we were simply doing our due diligence to try and locate the package. When a package is marked as delivered but not received the first time, we always refund or replace it for the customer. However, when this happens more than once, we are required to do a bit more digging to figure out what might be preventing you from receiving your packages. This is standard policy, and we're sorry if it felt like we were trying to deny your issue.
We'll be writing back to you within the next few hours with next steps for your missing package, so be on the looking out for another email. Thank you for your patience, and we've always got your back.

READ THIS BEFORE YOU ORDER
My fist order from CatPerson went great, ordered and received in about 10ish days, Not bad at all and my cat loved the food. NOT THE SAME WITH MY 2ND ORDER!! (#71582) Order date 2/8/2021. On 2/17/2021 I received an email from Karen stating that they were having shipping issues out of Nevada, okay I can understand that. She said that if they don't see scanning updates on my order in 3 days they would issue me an replacement, oh and gave me 20% off my next order. Again, okay I can live with that, but in the mean time I am running out of cat food so I had to go get my old brand that I might add Chewy's always delivered on time!
Now its 2/23 and I look at my order on their website and it's still on its way (as of 2/8/2021)! What? I thought they said they would ship out on the 20th if no movement happened. So, I looked for a way to contact them, UGH!! you can either email or text so I text them yesterday asking basically what is going on? I get nothing, no answer at all. Its now been over 24hrs since I contacted them and NOTHING and you want me to place another order cuz you gave me 20% off, really? HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE, JUST HORRIBLE. I'm out 65ish dollars and have no way to contact them cuz they don't answer! I'm not about to Email, Text and whatever taking up so much of my time just so you all can do what you are supposed to do. You informed me that my order had issues so you FIX IT and KEEP ME INFORMED!! Bad business practices, again I love the product but you will not stay in business for long with this kind of Customer Support. Get a phone line your customers can call you on, my elderly mother has a cat and I was going to order for her and will not now because if her order goes wrong what is she supposed to do? She is a different generation and doesn't have email and doesn't know how to text. I would have to spent the time going and getting her cat more food then have to spend more time tracking her order down. Having items shipped is a convenience and if you can't get a hold of anyone to help you then it's an absolute waste of time and money which means it's not convenient . I have no idea what I am going to do at this point. Any suggests are very welcome.

Hi Stephanie! We're sorry to hear that you were having a hard time receiving your order. We tried our best to give advanced notice of delays, but we understand the desire for more information. We appreciate your feedback and we take it very seriously. We'll be sure to be more communicative going forward.
I do see that your original order was delivered on 2/25 and that the free replacement we sent you is out for delivery today! Feel free to keep both packages, and keep your pantry stocked :)
If you (or your mom!) need any other assistance, please don't hesitate to let us know. We're always here and happy to help.

Hope your cats aren’t hungry!!
Worst customer service ever! The order never arrived. They wouldn’t give me a tracking number or tell me when it shipped after 10 days. When I suggested to go ahead and cancel my order if they can’t meet the deadlines they canceled it right away. Clearly, this company is not serious about keeping customers and cats happy.
Response from Cat PersonFeb 16, 2021
Hi Sebastian! We're sorry to hear that your order hasn't arrived yet. We advertise 3-7 business days for delivery, which means we are expecting it to arrive today, 2/16. I checked your tracking and it's indeed out for delivery today. We haven't cancelled your order. Per your request, however, we did cancel your meal plan subscription, so that you don't receive automated deliveries until you're ready. If there's anything else we're missing, please let us know via email and we'll be more than happy to help you out.

Awful awful awful
Awful awful awful. I decided to sign up via an Instagram ad. Sign up was easy as was paying for the intro package.
Then nothing. I got a notice that the package was being shipped and then nothing. Kept checking the tracker and per USPS, "Your item was picked up by a shipping partner. This does not indicate receipt by the USPS or the actual mailing date."
I tried emailing their customer service and received nothing from them in nearly 72 hours and counting. They also have text customer service and no response there either. This was all attempted over weekdays.
I can't even get help with a refund. The lack of a phone number is a turn off as there is no help if things go awry.
I'm going to get my money back and seek out a new option. Buyer beware, the food may be good, but I wouldn't know as I never received it.

Hi Andrew! I'm so sorry to hear that you're having a negative experience with Cat Person. We're committed to making the lives of cats and their persons better, and it seems like we may have let you down here. I do see that we already responded to you via email and also via SMS, about 3 hours outside of our 48-hour response promise. Your order is indeed in transit to you, but if you require further assistance from our team, please don't hesitate to let us know. We're always here and happy to help.

No food. No response. No refund.
Three weeks after supposedly shipping, my order still isn't here. USPS (why are they still using them right now anyway??) has apparently not even received it. I emailed CP's customer service. Days later, no reply. Same with text. Same with DMing on Twitter. If a *food subscription service* can't even be reliable enough to reply to customers, then they can't be relied upon to feed my cat, and that's wholly independent of the beleaguered USPS. Since they haven't responded to me, I've disputed the charge with my card.
Update: I see that they'll bother to reply to a public review but nothing else. I emailed you guys DAYS ago. My most recent attempt was just that - my most recent attempt. But I've been trying to reach someone for several days now. "It might be in our spam" is a pretty sad excuse. Is everyone else who has complained about you publicly in your spam? Come on.
Response from Cat PersonFeb 4, 2021
Hi Katy! Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that you haven't heard back from us. I took a peek at your account in our Customer Service platform, and I see that you sent us a text yesterday. It typically takes us 24-48 hours to respond to all incoming contacts. We'll write back to you right away! As for your email, I'm unfortunately having trouble locating it -- I'll see if we can check whether or not it's in Spam. Apologies for the delay here! We'll make sure to get your package to you.
