We don't have any Petco stores around here, just Petsmart, Aquarium Services (a.k.a. Big Al's) and the odd PJ's Pets.
We rarely go to PJ's (distance & cost), but make regular trips to A.S. and Petsmart. We have 2 Petsmart locations that are relatively close, fairly clean, knowledgable, and competitive (especially on Nutro cat food with the petperks card).
We actually adopted one of our cats, Panda, from a 3rd Petsmart that is a little further away than the other two stores. Petsmart (at least here) does not sell cats or dogs. They provide space in their stores for local non-profit animal rescue & shelter groups that charge an "adoption fee". The fee (~$150) helps them stay in business but also includes a vet visit, shots, spaying/neutering and a Petsmart coupon book (which included a free bag of any brand cat food ~3.5kg)
