I have never regretted anything more than the purchase of this slipcover. I got one from the microfibra collection. I had it for four months. My cat was mysteriously lame on one leg after 2 months. She recovered. Then she was not weight-bearing on the other leg last week so I had to take her to the ER. They suspected a blood clot due to shifting lameness. $1500 worth of xrays and bloodwork showed nothing so they said at her age (5) it is most likely soft tissue injury. A couple nights later I realized that when she got her claws stuck in the cover (something I had seen before) she could have trouble getting unstuck, and likely sprained her legs in the process. I threw it out. Didn't feel like a loss with all the snags all over the fabric from her claws, and the color that was fading quickly in the sun and laundry. Terrible fabric. My friend took this photo a month after my purchase, while he was caring for her, and I missed seeing it - ironically didn't see it until after I had figured out how dangerous it is.

I worked with an advisor from A Place for Mom at the beginning of looking for Memory Care for my mom. They did send my contact info to a bunch of places that were out of my price range, but it wasn't hard to stop the calls. I chose a place they did not refer to, and worked with a company the hospital recommended to me, called Oasis who were genuinely helpful. Because my situation involves a second step, which is now to get Mom to a memory care facility in my state, I chose to use Oasis again. However, I also do my own research. When I had a question about one of the places I found on my own, I landed on the phone with A Place for Mom without evening realizing it (lack of transparency). Despite my protests, they put me on the phone with an "advisor", saying they could answer my question about a particular care home. Instead, they tried to railroad me into working with them, even after I explained I was already working with Oasis. They were extremely pushy, and when it was clear that I wasn't going to get them what they wanted, they pretended to have helped me by sending a list of the places I had told them were on my list already! I am now signing the form Oasis gave me that enables me to remove my name and my mom's name and info from their contact list. I would recommend to avoid A Place for Mom.
