S.A.R.A.'s Treasures Eugene, Oregon

A decent, if limited in size, thrift store.

I’m sad to write this 1 star review but my experience today has bothered me all day. I decorated for Christmas and had some items I decided not to use this year. Many of them were brand new and unopened. I have always enjoyed shopping at Sara’s treasures so I made a pile to donate to another thrift store and set aside my nicest items in a small box for Sara’s treasures. I brought it in, thinking how happy I was it would help them and go towards helping kitties. No sooner had I started shopping that the employee said “we can’t take these donations they are Christmas” What???? NOW is the time of year to sell Christmas! I walked over and said “I’m shocked, most of these items are brand new!” They said “oh I didn’t know if these had been opened” I was incredibly offended by the whole attitude so I said I would gladly take them to Goodwill. Not sure how Sara’s treasures plans to stay in business if they reject peoples donations. I won’t attempt another donation there ever again.

I’ve found great little treasures here and we love that they often have store kitties

Very friendly and helpful staff, cozy environment, excellent prices, and the possibility of spending time with a cat(s). I've found some crazy deals here and it's a very enjoyable trip each time.

I am an extremely busy person who plans my days so I may arrive places on time without expecting special treatment. I've worked customer service and know the kind of ardent challenge it can be when someone brings their frustrations in life to your establishment. I quite honestly never write reviews. I've recently donated my electronics to SARA's such as game consoles (XB1,PS4) router, tablet etc, as I feel it's for a good cause in a warm and cute/quaint storefront. The staff here has always been very kind and full of smiles. I love the concept of the place and it has a very homey feel. I used to drop my donations to the larger stores in the area but have found SARA's to be a far better home for the tangible memories that I loved, cherished and were a part of my home.

Always fun to shop here. And your helping the kitties!

This store has an amazing selection of gently used clothes and items, and cats! So many cats!

No cats up front any more :( You can't even meet or physically see cats you want to adopt without filling out an application first. But you can drop off donations any time you want! Front-end staff is always nice and helpful but the store is run by a couple of complete nutcases and everyone but them seems to know it.

I am an extremely busy person, so I rarely ever write reviews unless I feel it’s absolutely necessary. I recently bought new cat shelves for cats to climb on that my cat did not use as she is finicky with typical cat supplies/toys due to being a mainly outdoor cat. Instead of returning, I wanted to donate them for a new kitty to enjoy. I handpicked this location to drop off because I liked that they were also a cat shelter and proceeds from the store went to that, despite the location being 15+ minutes away from my house, and there are much closer donation centers to me. I went to drop the shelves off on July 1, and since I am new to Eugene as of 2 weeks ago, I got a little lost getting to this location and arrived 2 minutes after close. I saw the door open still and was like “thank goodness, I can still drop this off.” The worker was bringing stuff inside from outside, and as I approached her with my massive box and a smile, she very gloomily looked at me and told me they just closed and could not accept my donation. Whaaaat??? Are your hands tied that you cannot accept a box from me? I didn’t even need a donation slip. She told me they were open at 10:00 tomorrow. However, it was my birthday the following day, so I was having friends over and did not want to drive another 15/20 minutes to deal with her again or anyone like her. I feel sorry that places are short staffed and end up with workers that provide subpar customer service. I hope the animals there receive much better care. Needless to say, I ended up at goodwill to drop off my brand new supplies and will not ever go back to this location again. I hope you are able to hire more friendly workers in the future. 2 stars only for the effort to create this kind of place, -3 for my experience; I hope it’s better for others.

This is the sweetest thrift shop/adoption center I have ever seen. The staff are so kind and helpful, the layout is organized and clean. The whole experience of shopping there was just so peaceful. 11/10 :)

Cool upscale thrift store with very fair prices and helps a great cause.

My favorite thrift store! Great prices and the money actually goes to a good cause!

Best place to get good deals and help the cats out.

Very sweet and personable people that work there. I always find all kinds of goodies at a great deal, and I'm helping the kitties too. Will go back most definitely

A true definition to a thrift store, with lots of odds and ends to search through. On top of it all is a pet shop stocked with some great items that are usually overpriced elsewhere.

I don't understand all the 5 star ratings. My experience with SARA's Treasures was a nightmare. I came into the store after the death of my dear 17 year old cat Boris. Not only did I not get a chance to adopt a kitten, I was emotionally abused by the manager , a woman named Nicole, who denied my application, making some vague claim about what I was doing in her store. All I did was to visit the cats, who are more like prisoners than potential adoptees. It's my perspective that most of the positive reviews are addressing the second hand store and not the adoption process. Anyone wanting to adopt a feline best friend should go to the Greenhill shelter. They set me up with a bonded brother and sister who , five months later,a are wonderful additions to my household.

Love the cats. But if you have a service animal, please follow the staff request to give them a heads up so they can safely put the cats that roam freely in a secure area. It’s kind of common sense and will make the experience better for everyone.

Find good bargains while helping cats find forever homes

What an awesome place and what an awesome concept for a store. Even though I am allergic to cats, I make it a point to come here every time I am in the neighborhood. I love seeing all the happy cats, and knowing that my purchases are directly making a difference in the cats' lives makes my sneezing all worth it. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable.

Cat pee on every thing.please have good luck removing the smell.

Nice items and low cost flea medication. Very friendly and helpful.

Absolutely adorable kitties, variety of stuff to buy and wonderfully friendly people who were even fantastic regarding my 2 year old!

These are the coolest people ever. Great charity shop that benefits animals in need of good homes. Staffed by some of the coolest people that you will ever encounter. Lots of great deals to discover and score. Great place to donate as well. I adopted two cats from them years ago when I didn't even live in the state. It is so cool to see that they are still thriving and have grown so much. Sweet kitties that you can pet and socialize with right in the shop.

Awesome place, super nice people and there are kitties! ????????????????

Please support the work that SARA'S provides to our community seriously folks please support SARA'S cause Kitty Kats are Kittykattastic...

When I lived in Eugene shipped there for organic cat food and cat litter from Wyoming. Loved the litter but can't find it here in Texas. Also loved shopping for treasures in the thrift shop and of course petting the cats.

Love what you do for cats.great place for treasures

Shop, help cats, and play with cats!!!

The kitties are so sweet and you can go into each area and love on them

We just loved our visit to Sara’s Treasures!!! The staff there are super nice and helpful. And the best part is all the kitties there that need homes, they are all so sweet and adorable. We got to visit with all the kitties and wish we could take more home but for now, our 2 are enough. It’s truly a great store!
