Pampered Pets

Pampered Pets is a small pet retail store in the Pyramid Mall (the new Shoppes at Ithaca Mall). You’ll remember Pampered Pets because of the resident Blue and Gold macaw that lives in the store. I don’t agree with keeping him in the store (he does get to come out of his cage for a spell when the store closes) but Gene, the owner, believes that the bird, who he rescued 17 years ago, is happier there.
Overall the store has a sizable collection of retail items and sells fish, small birds, rodents, and reptiles. They also feature adoptable kittens from SPCA, who are always surrounded by boys and girls and woman, cooing over the cute babies.
If I still lived in Ithaca, Pampered Pets wouldn’t be my first choice for supplies, but I wouldn’t avoid it altogether, either.
