At approximately 10:00AM on Thursday, September 17, 2020, I called Rick Lee, our contact at Globex Shipping. The v-mail greeting on 469-249-2990 indicates you have reached Golden Circle Movers and appears to a Texas phone number. I left a message requesting a call back. On Thursday, September 17, 2020, at approximately 11:30AM, Globex Shipping called asking for another $2,500 to create a document to prove that we are allowed to adopt an animal out of state. At 11:57AM, Rick Lee called back, and we refused to pay the requested amount. We stated, “The Department of Agricultural and the state of California only requires a health certificate or certificate of veterinary inspection (CVI) for a breeder to ship across state lines. A cat is not a restricted species, so no other documentation is required.” This observation was not well received. Rick Lee implied I had no right to question him and hung up on me. Around the same time, the breeder accused me of being insulting and blocked my calls and text messages. The Faerietail Devon Rex Cattery is also not responding to e-mail messages.
On Thursday, September 17, 2020, at approximately 2:30PM, Globex Shipping sent an e-mail indicating that the kitten is being detained in Chicago, Illinois, unless the fee for the city permit $1800 is paid. (Please note that the amount changed from $2,500 to $1,800.) The rationale that they provided was: "due to pet overpopulation and kitten mills in the state of MA, no one is authorized to adopt or purchase pets out of the state of MA without a city permit which your kitten does not currently have and is being detained." We pointed out that the kitten is not beg detained in Massachusetts and we do not live in Massachusetts. This resulted in Rick Lee being hostile and hanging up the phone. The breeder is not actively engaging with the shipping company to resolve the issues. They made all shipping arrangements, not us.
Nobody is telling us if the kitten is being cared for or safeguarded. At this point, I do not believe the kitten actually exists. I also believe that Charles Haynie and Rick Lee may be the same person. Although we have not spoken to Charles Haynie, there are similarities in the language used in text and e-mail messaging.
