Please do not buy any retired cats from this breeder. She is a horrible lady. She doesn't spend time and gets hung up on the same point. She treats the cats as if they are the most sensitive cats ever. I tried two cats with her and neither worked. The first cat cost me a few hundred dollar in replacing things around my house because she peed all over my bed...

I contacted this breeder in July, 2011. I was looking for a long haired, black and white fold eared male kitten. She assured me she got them often. In order to guarantee I would get my pick she asked for a deposit of $425.00 I asked what her refund policy was and she responded: ONCE YOU HAVE PICKED OUT A KITTEN THAN THE DEPOSIT IS NONREFUNDABLE. MY DEPOSITS...

I bought a kitten from this cattery only for her to be diagnosed with FIP a few months later and die. It cost me thousands between the price of the kitten, vet bills, supplies, euthanasia and burial. Dawn and Avi were in denial and did not reimburse me. FIP is a very devastating disease common in many catteries. Do yourself a favor and save yourself the misery of having a cat with FIP. Stay far away from this breeder.

She said another kitten from the litter was sick a...

Avante Siamese, owned by Heather-Rose Wolf of Virginia, was recently cited for animal neglect.

Beware this breeder! Multiple names, emails and contact info. She sold us a kitten with a fatal illness, then discontinued any and all communications. Fails to honor her health guarantees. She then changes contact info and sells more. Have brought her to court and she fails to appear.

And was referred by Cozy Kittens. I went with my 2 young girls cross country to AK and she made me wait 2 days when I was paying $thousands for cats...she had them shipped in from...

We went to visit this cattery in late May to choose two (2) ragdoll kittens to purchase. We chose two kitties, and put a $200 deposit on each, with the understanding the breeder would deliver them to us when the kittens reached 12 wks old. A few weeks ago the breeder emailed us to say one kitty got sick, got a cold and although she tried to save her, she...

Diane Varni hoards unhealthy cats in an environment that can only be described as utter squalor. The overwhelming stench of cat urine can be smelled from the dirt driveway outside the house. Although some cats appear to be healthy(ier) the inside of the house is overrun with cats and kittens exhibiting nasal discharge as well as discharge from the eye...

Im having serious health issues with my Sphynx from Hairlesscatcompany. I appreciate how "supportive" she has tried to be with me through emails but what it boils down to. I paid a lot of money for a cat that was sick when we picked him up at the airport. There is no excuses for this. I never really had an issue with shipping, she did however cancel it and...

[protected]@shaw.ca I have reserved a Siamese kitten as promised in our agreement, red point male. After, making the deposit she guaranteed me with the above mentioned cat and then all of the sudden the parent of the kitten died so she has to keep it? That's considered false advertisement. Furthermore, she demanded to pay the remaining balance for neutering...

Owner Kimberly Crowe. Sells overbred and sick cats through Facebook. Falsifies records including the "health certificate". Beware of Bargain cats.

She offered to sell me a sick kitten at only 8 weeks old, for a...

Was a potential future client for a future kitten. Asked for advice on how to blend my 3 cats (2 resident cats, 1 kitten). Was seeking constructive, supportive, non-judgmental advice.
