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.

You don't change your name from Echolake to Angel face unless you have to! She took way too much money from me with cats that had ringworm and questionable parentage/pedigrees. 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...

A kitten I bought from Debbie Corrado last year died of FIP around December. She recently offered to give me a replacement kitten - I was tempted to decline because of her husbandry practices. But in the end, it's a free Ragdoll kitten and she would be taking a loss on it, so I decided it was worth the risk. Though Debbie was very nice to me and seems to...

I purchased pet quality peke faced Persian cat (CEW). Paid in full per contract. Even gave Pam gas money for travel as she asked me to "spring for gas" right before I traveled to receive kitten. It was understood in all verbal and writing exchanges, I was to get a registered CFA kitten. Kitten MUST be neutered to receive "blue slip" to register him to my...

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...

First off, she has beautiful cats. I'm not saying don't buy from her, but know what you are buying. I spoke with the owner of Ritz N Ragdolls about purchasing an adult female cat for breeding. I had another cat I bought for breeding, but had to wait until next year when she was old enough, and I wanted to buy a cat I could breed immediately. I inquired...

[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...

I had very unprofessional interactions with Lisa from Luvlee Dolls cattery. She was rude to me and I was a potential customer. She also had alot of disturbing things to say about other breeders from her own area and even as far away as Massachussetts and Rhode Island. Complaining about your competition seemed very unethical and downright nasty to me. I got...
