College Kitty Cattery sick and unsocial kitten

I was reading the complaints that Cynthia Schroeder from College Kitty Cattery was posting that made me decide to post my story. I bought a kitten 6 months ago from this breeder after talking to her a few times she seemed as to me a wonderful person who really cares for her animals. Boy was I wrong. While having my kitten from her for 6 months already and I have been fighting to get this kitten healthy . I have tried and tried to contact her but she never returns our phone calls or emails. He has Feline calicivirus and feline herpesvirus. so everytime he gets upset or stressed from any reason he will get a flare ups. It has taken us 4 months for this boy to trust us enough not to hide everytime we go up to him. Animal control needs to be involved in this cattery. The breeder is STILL selling cats that are sick she is not controling the problem she has in her cattery that means she does not care. Any breeder can clean up there act by doing blood work on there breeders to see why the offspring are all getting sick and some dying just days to weeks after they go to homes. Cynthia Schroeder has sold a few FIP infected cats . BREEDERS WILL TRY TO SAY THAT FIP is not dianosable but it is by a vet you do a tilter test for FIP and if its very high and the cat is showing many signs then it has FIP She also is selling cats with yellow and green eye draunage these cats don't die but they will have life long HERPE infections and should not be bred. A friend of mine has a cat that has constant eye [censored] and the cat is not very active either but it does eat and drink and plays very little. DO NOT BE A VICTIM OF College Kitty Cattery... She should be reported... This freak bad mouths other breeders but her kittens are sick and unsocial. She says things about others but she should look at herself after all she isn't any better then who she bad mouths. Please beaware of this horrible breeder! This Cattery should be closed down. She cuts everyone down to draw the attention away from her. Please be aware this breeder is no good she may seem nice but she isn't.

Thanks Manuela for calling her out. From your description of the photos it is far worse than we all imagined. I do not know how she has time for me. Her boyfriend's next court date is June 25th and Cindy Wrobel is taking her to court in July. Her time would be better spent worrying about court appearances...

Hi victimofakittenmill, put your real name!
Or your name it's just best known? Katie Grashel!
Shame of you! I've crossed the Ocean to take my kitten from the shelter,
I've seen all the photos of the relinquishment of your 47 sick cats!
Cats in filthy cages, with filthy litterbox, with only 2 wood shelves to stay... You have to stay on wood shelves... in a prison for all your pet abuse! I hope for years! Shame of you! Instead of trying to ruin other person that had a kitten died taken from your ex-cattery Amunra, look at you in the mirror!

You really need to learn more about FIP before making accusations. A titer test (not a tilter) doesn't indicate the cat is symptomatic with FIP. It only tells you the level of coronavirus antibodies in the cat's blood. It picks up all coronaviruses, not just the coronavirus currently believed to cause FIP. If a cat has diarrhea, it will pop a high titer.

There is no test specific to the coronavirus currently believed to cause FIP. You read that correctly. As much research has been done on FIP, the cause remains a mystery. Almost as much a mystery to the OP as learning how to use spell check.

College Kitty Cattery NO TRUTH TO PUPPY MILL/KITTEN MILL

There is no truth at all that my neighbors called and filed a complaint against me. My vets are on volunteer weekly rotation with the local humane society. Anyone who believes this nonsense should contact me and I will provide them with my vet info. None of my neighbors have any idea that I breed cats and none of them would know the name College Kitty Cattery. I am not even certain my vet knows I go by that name. LOL! Katie Grashel is trying to ruin my reputation. I am not certain why since she is the one who sold me a kitten that died and not vice versa. Approx 29 of Katie's 47 siezed cats/kittens are now on the Lakeland County Humane Society website.

I have been looking for purebred cats/kittens for awhile now and have read all of the complaints on the complaints board regarding Amunra Cattery AND College Kitty. Honestly, neither of you sound like the professionals that you claim to be. Just read what you write. You sound like children. I would never buy from either of you just because of your unprofessionalism.

College Kitty Cattery Kitten and Puppy Mill

We are neighbors of Cindy Schroeder. We have called the animal control to her house before. She has over 50 animals posted on her web site right now. Her yard smells like urine from all the dogs, they are constantly making noise, it looks like a zoo over there! Her house was under construction for a long time, with all those animals there would be alot of damage to her house. It's an eye sore, a public health issue, and hopefully she wont be in business for very long. We encourage everyone who has had a bad experience with Cindy Schroeder, College Kitty Cattery to contact the police and file a report. Her neighbors would be happy to have her shut down. She is nothing but an animal mill.

Hi Katie AKA Amunra kitten mill operator, my vets are on volunteer rotation with the Joliet Humane Society. They know they were never called to my home and they would be the first to tell them how wrong this information is about me. You are trying to ruin me and that will never happen. Give it up!

This is to Katie from Amunra Cattery::::: Wow Katie you claim to say there is another Amunra Cattery, man your a joke, there isn't another one anywhere that has that name and is owned by a Katie, come on get real, face the facts, you are truly a nuttcase, and a horrible person to ever treat your cats, kittens, and not to mention stealing money from your customers. Wow you should be ashame, none of these cats did you ever deserve. Man do you have a consceince, maybe someone should put you in a cage and have you sleep and eat in your own waste. When I heard about all this horrible things that you did, it made me cry I couldn't believe my ears and eyes. you claimed that you cared about your cats how could you.
Also I know where you got Prince from and you were very Lucky to have got that stunning boy from GlasSlipper Cattery, man Cynthia did you a favor by letting you get him and you kicked her in the face by be so cruel to her beloved kitten. Also Cindy from College Kitty is another wonderful breeder and you tried blaming her for what you were quilty for. Didn't anyone teach you anything, like people that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. What was easier for you to push the blame when you were the one quilty of being horrible breeder.
Also you bashed so many wonderful breeders including her, and you all along were the worst kitten mill ever in my book. You should be ashamed you sick person you. Your boyfriend is a sick puppy and I really hope to God they throw the key away on both of you and that you get threated like you threated your animals, let someone treat you the way you treated them. All I can ask for I hope God saves your soul, and saves you from going to hell for the way that you treated those animals. Animals are helpless and you were suppose to be good to them and were weren't, how dare you be so mean.

A puppy mill is not a person who lets their dog have 2 litters in her lifetime. I was just at the vet tonight getting my puppies vet checked and ready to go home tomorrow and discussed having my Honey spayed as this is her last litter. We all know the definition of a kitten mill since we all know Amunra Cattery was closed down for being a mill. My feline mothers are in either a spare bedroom or my office. All are clean and well ventilated! These accusations are unfounded. My vet and my past puppy buyers and my new puppy buyers are all pleased with their new family members. I have many repeat kitten buyers. Katie needs to take care of her own affairs and leave me alone. My husband and I own rental property in addition to our home in Joliet. We both make an excellent living and I drive a company car. We do not breed for a profession or because we need the money. We could stop breeding tomorrow and keep a few cats for pets and just be fine. I am tired on all this nonsense and will no longer comment. I really do not care who writes anything further. I know what is true and so do all the people that matter in my life. My vets also know what is true and they would be totally shocked at these unfounded accusations.

College Kitty Cattery Sick Kitten

I am happy to see people posting complaints about College Kitty Cattery Cindi Schroeder. We paid alot of money for a kitten with a runny eye and snotty nose. The kitten had a sneezing fit the minute we got in the car! Our vet said it was the herpes virus, and that cats can never get rid of the virus so the kitten will always be sick off and on through it's life. We ended up spending an extra $300 for the first vet visit and medication. We have since spent close to $1000 (not including the cost of the kitten) on medication and supplements to keep the virus under control. You can often visit her web site and see red rimmed watery looking eyes on her cats and kittens in photos. We tried to purchase a second kitten from a different breeder, but was refused as soon as they knew where our current cat was from. We were told by the second breeder that they couldnt would not endanger the health of one their kittens by placing it with a cat from THAT cattery.

She puts on a good front, but if you know what to look for and you talk to your vet about how to spot a good breeder or tell a bad one...you will see right through her!

Stay away!

Thank you Manuela for calling Katie out in this complaint also. She spends entirely too much time worrying about me and not enough time worrying about her court case and that of her boyfriend. If I had 47 cats seized I would be hiding my head in the sand and not bothering anyone else. I read an article in the newspaper that said that she would have had 70 if all of the pregnant moms delivered in her cattery. Cindy Wrobel is writing everyone and posting information on various sites asking for information on sick cats that were sold by her.

By the way, the only cat I had with herpes was Amunra Rice of College Kitty. She had outbreaks whenever she was stressed and passed it on to her kittens. She was placed with a family in Wisconsin.

If this is a legitimate complaint why not post your real name and address? Why not contact me? A mill is what Katie Grashel at Amunra was operating. Animals in cages without clean bedding and unsanitary conditions. In over my head? I hardly think so. Am I supposed to be concerned that openeyes101 will not recommend me? State your real name and address or contact me. Why hide?

Our kitten was also very sick after we recieved it with similar problems. We call our kitten the most expensive mistake ever! we love our kitten, it's not it's fault it was not cared for properly. College kitty is in over their heads, they have close to 7 or 8 litters of kittens posted right now, and a bunch of puppies! It screams MILL! They wont get recommended from us!
