Explain the problem:

"I am protesting against the way you treated me as a cat buyer. About how you deceived me with that contract of yours.
I was good enough to give you $1,300.00 for a kitty and you took that money, but when it come to dealing with consumer problems such as the death or disease of a kitty purchased from you, you claim your are an expert.
If you are an expert where is your degree in feline studies from an accredited college?

I purchased a kitty from you, I paid you $1,300.00 and my kitty ends up dieing at the age of 14 months old of FIP. I also made a trade with you for a cream point himmy that is 1 year old and does not even know how to breed because the seller Melanie Lowry takes all her kitten away from the mom at 5 weeks old to prevent them from getting the Corona Virus.

But she does not tell you the damage she is doing the the emotional growth of the kittys they they do not even know how to mate, which is a natural thing in the animal kindom.

So I had gotten 3 kittys from Lollimops. The 1st female is dead of FIP, the 2nd does not know how to breed & spays all over and the 3rd choc female one is too small to even breed. I would say that is a problem!
Its not just one cat its all the kittys I got from her. The queen that had my kitty should be spay because any mother who has a kitten die of FIP should not be used for BREEDING to pass this down to another generation of kittys I did all that was required of me to find out the cause of death and you tell me you will not replace my kitty or give my back my $1,300.00

I did read your contract, I thought! But I obviously did NOT read it good enough, because if I really read it I would NOT have purchased a kitty from you ever!
When a person buys a kitty they are excited about the idea of getting their bundle of love and they do not read all the contract the way they should.

The lesson I learned with dealing with you Lollimops Himalayan & Persiand Cattery cost me $1,300.00 and I want to make sure this never happens to another potential cat buyer ever again!

I want to put you out of the kitten mill business that is a promise for our kitty and for the public so you can not decieve anymore of the public ever again."

5/24/03 Please not I had to go to another site to get Melanie Lowry's reply
I asked Melanie Lowry to respond to the complaint and she never did! So I went to this site and copied and pasted it in her so now I can discuss about I would say, 98% of the fallacies Melanie Lowry told on this site.

I first meet Lollimops cattery on the internet.
I had contacted her a few time we chatted about color of cats and that was as far as things went.
Until one day Melanie Lowry asked me if I wanted one of her kittys and I said "NO", as they were too much money.
I told her I was thinking of purchasing a kitty in from a cattery down south. So she offered me a trade. I DID NOT ask for this, she offered this to me! So I said a trade of what?

She said, "she was interested in a silver female."
So then I asked her for a cream pointa female himalayan.
Melanie Lowry was going to take a silver kitten, then I offered her an adult and she said, "oh that is better I dont have to wait for it to grow up and she can be bred right away."

I gave her the shaded silver. This shaded silver was a nice kitty, good mom, but she was truly just a pet long body, long legs, she had nice large eyes going for her that was it. Time went on. So I made arrangements with Melanie Lowry to drive to her home and this is how she told me how to find it. She said, "its the only white SHACK on the corner lot."

Those were her excate words SHACK. I went in her "SHACK" as Melanie Lowry herself called it. And she was right, it was a "Shack". It was a cute, homey little 2 small bedroom, shack, But never the less a summer bungalow that was probably made in the '30'& 40's, housing share croppers. Cats in cages in the kitchen area, ants roaming around on the love seat I was siting on that is why I did not sit down. Kitchen area messy, unorganized, uncleaned, stove messy unclean, counters messy and not in order at all. Out on the porch area where the kittys go out a kitty door it was full of spider webs and dirty, very unkept little area. Bath room was okay, but she was living for a while with no hot water and how can a cat breeder wash here kittys in cold water?

The kittys that were "ALLOWED" walking freedom where extremly socialible and friendly and, I thought that was fantistic.

I signed the contract and left almost immediately. I do not have time to socialize with people. I have better things to do then chat with stranges I just met. I dropped off the kitty I was to give her and picked up my kitty and went right home.

There was another time I went over Melanie "shack" as she so modestly called it, and she invited me out to a Japanese lunch in her town of Escondido, Ca. I accepted this engagement,

We were out for about approx 2 hours or even more and on her coffe table was the kitty I was giving her in that same taxi, still in the cage. She said it was okay to leave her in that pet taxi while we go and have our lunch. I mentined this to her & she kind of made a joke about it. When I got Sunshine Michelle Casserd asked me if he had ring worm and I told her "NO". I did actually lie to her, and the reason I did not was because I did not want to make Melanie Lowry feel bad. I truly was wrong for statiang that to Michelle Casserd that was truly wrong on my part.

He also came with ring worm and I mentioned this to Melanie Lowry when I got home and said, "how could you have missed this if you washed him?"
The kitty I made the trade with I called [Sun Shine or Sunny] Extremly delightful little boy. I was truly enjoying him so much but that came to and end like really fast. I could not longer allow him to roam around my place anymore. And I was truly sad about that fact.
Why? Because he was not even 6 months old and he started spraying all over. This is unacceptable and it was sad.
He had to have his own room which is about 10 feet by 10 feet. ANd that is where he lives. Mean while I was able to purchase one of Melanie Lowrys kittys a Chocoloate Torie, she wanted $1,300.00 for her.

I gave her $600.00 in "CASH" down and she allowed me to pay her off before she was able to be breed, we agreed and I went home. I had a car and I needed to sell, it and thought of Melanie because she was without a car for such a long time, and depended on other people to taxi her around to live.

I wanted to show her some compassion so I said to her, "how about we make a trade I will give you this car if you give me a solid chocolate female?
She agreed. I took about 6 photo's of the car, sent them to her by email. I paid $1,000.00 or more for this Olds and it was a nice car below is a photo of it.

I asked Melanie Lowry, "when she would come to pick up the car?"She said as soon as she can get a ride from one of her friends". Well weeks had pasted she had not come to get her car and I wanted my kitty.

She kept saying, "I will ask this friend or that friend.
None of her friends or even family members ever came through to help melanie Lowry to come get her car.
Melanie Lowry has elderly parents and a daughter in her area & no one helped her at all get her car.
I then asked Melanie Lowry, "how do you get your needs meet each month with food and cat food etc?"
Melanie Lowry told me, "she has to beg the people she knows to help her and most of the time they dont want to help me at all."

I then asked Melanie Lowry, "how come you dont have a car?" Melanie Lowry, then told me. "she does not have a car because she owes about $1,000.00 auto repairs and the mechanic has her car."

So I drove all the way to her home, to pick Melanie up, in my car, to drive her to my place, to pick up her car.
She gave me the kitty, and I gave her all the paper work, paid for the registration so it was current for her and she left.

When I had dealing with Melanie she told me she would save this item for me and then I called he to ask her if I could pick it up, and she told me she threw it out and she "forgets things" and she was sorry.
That she does not have such a good memory and this was told me by Melanie herself.

Now as far as material possession I do not own anything, but the mere basics of living. I am not owned by things
I am not a slave to material creature comforts, I live a very simple, meek, humble existence that require just the basic's of life.

As far as Melanie Lowry's sales contact I asked permission to use her contract, she gave me her permission.

About the silver kitty I have her saying it had ring worm, and the worst case she has ever seen?
If that was true, then how come Melanie never told me?
Because this is the first I ever hear of it.
And that kitty was not 5 years old it was 3-4yrs old.
ML said I convinced her to sell Glory Anna to me, that is such a fallacy. Melanie can not refuse money after all she makes a livihood running a kitten mill. Just flash some cash in front of her and she will SNATCH it right up. Her rent ALONE is $750.00 a month. That is NOT including food, electric, gas, water, cat food, litter, shots, cat supplement, medications, etc or anything else a person needs to live each month & also run a kitten mill. She sold me Glory Anna for MONEY.

I could see ML wanted to keep Glory Anna, as I could see she was sad that she had to sell her to live & pay for her bills. So therefore, I did offer Melanie, Glory Anna back, she declined. More information will be added soon.
