I've purchased a girl from Ellen Dunaway who was born on March 28th. Just to let you know that was the worst $4, 000 I've ever spent in my life.

To all the people that love animals and particularly cats: I avoid buying a kitten from this business. On their website they suggest that they offer home to gorgeous, healthy, and very happy Ragdolls. This is far from truth: the living conditions for the animals are far from healthy... Take my advise and adopt a stray animal. Don't support this business if you love animals...

Walking into the reception area was a shock. Filthy, dark, dingy, - huge fish tanks with dying fish suffocating in dirty tanks and a terrible rotting smell in the room. Place looks like it has never been cleaned. I was reluctant to leave my dog there and worry he may come out with a sickness or disease. If you care for your pet, stay away from this place!!
