This woman, Kris, claims to be a good breeder. HA! She sold us a sick cat. He had FIP. That is something they get when they are kittens from large cat households. I have one other cat. We bought him from her for 800.
The picture of him on her website was great. He looked gorgeous. As soon as I picked him up he looked sickly. He never made any noise, cried, nothing. He always kept to himself hiding in places. We just thought he needed to adjust.
Well not even two months later he started scratching himself so badly he was getting sores on his neck. We took him to the vet and 150 dollars later, he has a yeast infection in his ears that has been there so long that he can't hear.
We called Kris about the situation and she immediately said it was our fault. There was no way to prove this so we dropped it. Well not even a week later, he was getting worse. He was so thin. Wouldn't eat much, but his belly was large.
We took him to the vet again, and she immediately felt his belly and thought there was fluid in it. The vet took some of the fluid from his belly and he was diagnosed with FIP. He was not going to live much longer and needed to be put down.
I called Kris with this information and she again blamed it on me and actually said it could have came from my other cats breeder, whom she works closely with. She was quick to blame anyone but herself. We tried reasoning with her, but nothing.
On fathers day, he was put to sleep. Only three days after his initial diagnosis. He was eleven months old.
Well after many rude phone calls from her, and many emails. I tried to be nice and work things out with her. We didn't want a replacement cat due to the fact it could be sick too. We were out over 1200. We wanted all our money back. There is no amount of money that could heal the pain myself and my family was in. He was such a sweet boy.
Well weeks later she sent me a email telling me she would not give us our money back but offered us a upgrade kitten. A female exotic shorthair, or longhair with breeding rights of our choice. She said she had a couple litters due soon.
Well the kittens came and we get a email, after I initiated the contact, saying the kittens were all dead. There were none to give me. However, her website shows different. HMMM???
Anyways, I emailed her asking for one that is on her website as available, and she says "its a show quality kitten" therefore not a comparable replacement. After much research I learned that kitten is NOT show quality. Her nose is too low and her ears are too big. Why did she lie?
In the midst of my research I learned that she also screwed over someone else. Another lady paid for a kitten and just as the kitten was to be shipped, kris says "oh the kitten has ringworm, is that a problem?" Um yeah, thats a problem. So the lady says I can't take the kitten into my home so please refund my money. Well Kris says "sorry, we have no warranty against ringworm, so there will be no refund." This lady was out a kitten and 1200.
This woman is horrible. She is a scam artist and runs a kitty mill. There are many diseases in her cattery and no one should ever have to go through what my family went through.
