I looked under their "available kittens" page and saw a pretty cute cat. I emailed them and inquired about it. I asked if they wanted to know my experience as these are hard to care for animals, and they sent me an email stating and I quote from their email, "It is important you understand how attached we are to these kittens .We are not only out for money but to see into it that they get the best while here or be it under their new home ." Note that they say, "We are not only out for money..." which means they are in it for money. No breeder I've ever worked with has stated that and most will tell you they make very little in breeding cats.
They were very unclear about who their vet was and did not give info on what care or blood work they received other than that they received it and it was "age appropiate."
They then asked for me to pay via apps that offer no insurance. Thankfully these apps failed completely. They wanted me to use an email not associated with the company, and the contact mentioned on the site was, I suspect, not who I was talking to.
Then they asked for a moneygram and/or WU payment. I had asked why don't they use Paypal as that is gold standard for breeders and most breeders I work with refuse to use anything else, even cash.
They became angry with me.
I talked with some friends who are breeders, know breeders, and have worked with breeders in the past. They informed me that this is likely a scam and to walk away. So I emailed them and told them that I no longer wished to do business with them and I wished them luck on their future endeavors. I thought their business practice was strange, but there was a slim possibility that they were not a scam.
So what makes me think they're a scam??
I looked back at their website to see if I could find any new/recent reviews.
This is now months later. Over 5 months later.
Same reviews.
Same kittens with the same pictures and names posted.
That alone makes me worry that this is a scam.
I want to hope they aren't, but I've done some research, compared their practices with reports of fraudulent scams of pets, and they line up hand in hand.
I want to warn others so they don't fall for it.
I suspect they'll reply, and that's fine. I just want this info up so others can make their own thoughts and decisions.
