A Ragdoll to Love, Highspire, PA review: Sick kitten she sold us

A complete and utter nightmare. Our cat of 9 months has FIP. When we picked up both of our kittens from this cattery, there were 20 cats running around (not an exaggeration), and full liter boxes in a very small unsafe and cluttered environment. Several tiny kittens were climbing all over the place. We were more than a little taken back. On top of that, they never had our cats vaccinated, nor did even see the vet for the first 13 weeks! When we questioned that, we were told that Ragdolls are healthy and there is no need to take them before 13-14 weeks. That's not true! It costs them money to take them, that's why! The first night we brought them home, we had to bring our kitten to the emergency vet (I have paperwork and texts). He was not well, and had diarrhea for weeks. I immediately contacted them, and they said he had never had diarrhea at their house, and that it must have been a change in environment. But, we questioned how they would even know with that may cats going in one box? RUN FROM THIS PLACE! We almost turned around and left when we saw these conditions. but, we had fallen in love with our kittens and drove 4 hours to pick them up. We had no idea based on her website that these are the conditions. Oddly, we didn't even pick them up at Lori's cattery. We received an address hours away from her. We paid $1, 300 for a kitten that has cost us $4, 600 (yep, you read that right) and counting because of their horrid living arrangements for these vulnerable kittens. The worst part is when I reached out to Lori (more than once), she never responded. Just ignored us!? Don't expect help when something goes wrong! We love our boy, and will go to the ENDS of the earth to save him. Look on Complaintsboard.com. Cats are dying from FIP from this cattery. A kitten/cat are vulnerable to FIP in overcrowded catteries, sharing liter boxes. This cattery should be shut down, due to their irresponsible handling of dozens of cats in a very small space. FIP can never be avoided with cats/kittens, but the risk factors can definitely be decreased immensely with responsible cattery's. A Ragdoll to Love is not one of them.
