Please do not buy any retired cats from this breeder. She is a horrible lady. She doesn't spend time and gets hung up on the same point. She treats the cats as if they are the most sensitive cats ever. I tried two cats with her and neither worked. The first cat cost me a few hundred dollar in replacing things around my house because she peed all over my bed...

I contacted this breeder in July, 2011. I was looking for a long haired, black and white fold eared male kitten. She assured me she got them often. In order to guarantee I would get my pick she asked for a deposit of $425.00 I asked what her refund policy was and she responded: ONCE YOU HAVE PICKED OUT A KITTEN THAN THE DEPOSIT IS NONREFUNDABLE. MY DEPOSITS...

I bought a kitten from this cattery only for her to be diagnosed with FIP a few months later and die. It cost me thousands between the price of the kitten, vet bills, supplies, euthanasia and burial. Dawn and Avi were in denial and did not reimburse me. FIP is a very devastating disease common in many catteries. Do yourself a favor and save yourself the misery of having a cat with FIP. Stay far away from this breeder.

We went to visit this cattery in late May to choose two (2) ragdoll kittens to purchase. We chose two kitties, and put a $200 deposit on each, with the understanding the breeder would deliver them to us when the kittens reached 12 wks old. A few weeks ago the breeder emailed us to say one kitty got sick, got a cold and although she tried to save her, she...

I paid a lot of money for a cat that was sick when we picked him up at the airport. There is no excuses for this. I never really had an issue with shipping, she did however cancel it and...

[protected]@shaw.ca I have reserved a Siamese kitten as promised in our agreement, red point male. After, making the deposit she guaranteed me with the above mentioned cat and then all of the sudden the parent of the kitten died so she has to keep it? That's considered false advertisement. Furthermore, she demanded to pay the remaining balance for neutering...

I'm considering this post a case of "yellow journalism" against my cattery. I have not had anyone voice any complaint about their cat dying from HCM. I offer a 3 year warranty against any cat dying from a genetic cause, in writing. The most common case of HCM, is called familial HCM, which has a likely root cause from excessive inbreeding, which is not done...
