Owner Kimberly Crowe. Sells overbred and sick cats through Facebook. Falsifies records including the "health certificate". Beware of Bargain cats. She says she is not in it for the money but breeds her cats every heat cycle - sometimes while kittens are still nursing from the last litter. She offered to sell me a sick kitten at only 8 weeks old, for a bargain price of course. Please do not fall for the cute kitten faces... purchasing a cat from her only perpetuates the cycle of abuse of over breeding the moms. She offers referrals but they are only a select few and they all say the same thing, as if they were told what to say. I did have a person anonymously contact me knowing I wanted one of the kittens and gave me a warning about how sick her kitten actually was once she brought it home. No cat deserves to be bred every heat cycle and a good breeder NEVER does this as it is harmful to the mother and not healthy for the kittens. She can sell the kittens at a profit for a low cost because of the amount of litters she produces in a year, and doesn't provide proper vet care. Nor quality feed. "Kitten Chow" is NOT a good food! Attached is a photo example of one of her "healthy kittens with a cold". She advised to just wash the eyes with a washcloth and it would be all better. SAD! PLEASE DON'T BUY A BARGAIN KITTEN! There is a reason someone sells a kitten for 1/2 of what other breeders do!
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I'm so sorry, I'm going through that now, not cancer, but everything else under the sun. I ruined my credit, drained my savings, dipped into my 401k, ugggh! It's heartbreaking. He will only be 4 January 25. It was a breeder in Crystal River though, Deanna's ragdolls.

Has anyone else experienced Ragdolls from a Tampa breeder that prematurely developed terminal cancer? Just curious b/c I have a 7 year old girl who was diagnosed with nasal lymphoma 2 years ago that I got from a breeder not too far from Busch Gardens. Cost $7000 in vet bills and radiation treatment just to buy her an extra 18 months [which I sold my car to cover], and unfortunately it's reached that time where her tumor is coming back aggressively and can't understate how devastating to me and my family it is. She's been fed nothing but bottled water and premium organic cat food her entire life so I know it's not from her diet. If anything that's what perhaps extended her expectancy from 18 months to 26 with a couple more to go.
Why is she allowed to continue breeding? Can't you report her to the Humane Society?
My kitten was really sick when I got her. She was sneezing and had the runny eyes also and had to be put on antibiotics. Took a while to clear up. Later on, she ended up getting pyometra (uterus infection) and we almost lost her. This was because we didn't spay her right away and she had a couple of heat cycles. It is best for your kittens if you get them spayed and neutered prior to bring them home, but if not spayed or neutered it is best to have it done as soon as possible. This can be done after their last set of shots around 4 months old. Also on her website, someone thought they were getting a girl kitten and when she went in to get it spayed, the vet told her it was a boy. This poor lady got nothing but a bad attitude from breeder because the breeder blamed her vet for the mistake. A reputable breeder I would think would acknowledge the problem and offer the rectify it by at least offering the person a female kitten at some point in time when available. Most likely, the buyer would want to keep their kitten because they had already become attached to it, but at least she should offer some type of restitution for the error. Ultimately, she is still responsible for this person getting the wrong sexed kitten.
I got my kitten from Kimberly and I thought I was getting a healthy kitten. Boy was I wrong! It's almost a year later and my cat still sneezes, has runny eyes, etc. I love my kitty but I regret supporting a lady who breeds her cat on ever heat cycle! My kittens mom was pregnant when I went to pick up my kittens. It's sad what she does to these cats. Pathetic example of a breeder!
Beware of this breeder. Her kittens are no doubt beautiful, but she is inbreeding mother to son, and siblings. Just ask her if the parents are related in anyway and if her kittens are registered and if she can provide you with their family tree. Also, check if she has tested the parents for Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM). I am not saying her cats have this, but any reputable ragdoll breeder will have their cats tested for this since ragdolls are prone to this. If you question her, she will most likely give you a major attitutde. It is sad that there are other kittens from this breeder who went to their new homes and were sickly. It would be benefical to know how many other kittens went home and were sickly. Hopefully potential buyers will find this site before purchasing.
Not sure where my comment went.
The kittens from this breeder are no doubt beautiful, but beware because she is inbreeding mother to son, and siblings. This is probably why her kittens are sickly. Her kittens are not registered with any of the cat associations. If you question her, she will definately give you a major attitude. If you do buy from her, ask her if she has done testing for the genetic disease ragdolls are prone to. Any reputable breeder should have their breeders tested for Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) . I am not saying her cats have this, but check with her if she has had her cats tested for this. I hope potential buyers will find this before purchasing from her. It is sad to hear that other little kittens went to their new homes sickly.
