I encountered a delay when trying to obtain the blueslip for a cat I had purchased from Marbilus Cattery. I originally posted a "rip-off" report on this site. Shortly after, I began recieving rather aggressive emails from Ms. Zizzo stating I seemed to have made a mistake and should have filed the complaint at a specific web address that she provided in the email. I did not realize I was being directed to acompletely different site (her site).
Not knowing, I filed the complaint again - and recieved several emails from Ms. Zizzo requesting more and more information (the requests were almost what I consider to be harassing) but I oblidged thinking this woman was working on my behalf to help me obtain my cats papers. Along with requesting information, Ms. Zizzo was repeatedly "directing" what she wanted from me - requesting I give feedback for her site etc... Although she had not done anything for me yet - I again oblidged as she had stated to me that nothing would be posted on her site if the issue (over my cats registration paper) was resolved by a certain date. I trusted Ms. Zizzo was telling the truth...
The original issue was completely resolved in a very short period of time. I notified Ms. Zizzo of this and requested nothing be posted. Ms. Zizzo emailed me several times taking credit for the resolution. (The issue was resolved long before Ms. Zizzo could have even had time to act on it, and the outcome had absolutely nothing to do with her!)
Looking back - a large part of the original problem was due to my own impatience in wanting my cat's papers. I do not have any problem with the breeder since the issue is resolved and hold them in high regard.
I had repeatedly asked Ms. Zizzo to please take the postings off her site (also due to the fact that she posted it before the time she stated she would wait to see if the issue could be resolved). At the repeated request of myself (and the breeder) she would NOT remove it. (She's actually added more info to her site that she had kept - AFTER the requests where made to remove the postings as they were no longer valid.)
Two weeks after all of the "pleading" I did to Ms. Zizzo I recieved another email from her (even after I requested she not contact me again) saying that she adding a new "policy" to her site - that that postings could no longer be removed. She stated if I wanted - I could add more "comments" to her site... I replied to her email again asking her to remove the postings (as her new policy was not even in effect at the time she put them up - and she wasn't removing anything before any way) I also told Ms. Zizzo I would no longer recieve emails from her...
I feel this is nothing more than a form of blackmail to get "filler" for what I consider to be a corrupt site. I should have done a web search on Ms. Zizzo and the site before I became involved with her - as from what I've read after the fact, I am far from the only one that has encountered problems with her. I honestly think this deception is the worst I have ever seen.
I feel horrible for my part in "bad mouthing" the breeder - but even worse for letting Ms. Zizzo become involved and attempt to destroy the reputation of someone.
I will no longer have anything to do with Ms. Zizzo or her site and encourage anyone to check things out before becoming involved with her or her organization.
