After I filed my complaint I received a real nasty call from the husband of Mrs. Largent, Mr. Chet Largent. I still have the message left on my voicemail after an extremely unprofessional call I had to hang up do to his vulgar manor. He left a detailed message that I had to apologize to him and his wife for how I felt about the whole deal in order to receive the blue slip that I had already paid for. Mrs. Largent would only text message me, were she expressed no remorse for her husband’s and her actions. Mrs. Largent then attempted to take back the breeding rights after I paid for them, by telling me I had to have our female fixed or return her to the cattery because she believed we weren’t fit to breed her cat. When it was the kitten and her cats’ welfare we were concerned about. I did receive the blue slip approx 90 day after the purchase (after we took possession of the kitten). I was glad to see her stand by our agreement to send the slip. I truly feel she has a great breed of cats, but I can’t stand by and say I had a good experience. It was stressful and hard, I didn’t know if I was going to have to fly back to Texas for court, or what to expect. I’m still concerned for what I may have to deal with in the future. I’ll update the information, but I’m not going to remove the complaint. I truly feel that she was unprofessional with this transaction. I will keep it updated until I feel comfortable with this cattery again.
We purchased two male kittens from Elizabeth Largent a little over a year ago. One has been healthy and hardy and is a gorgeous male sphynx that is very close to the perfect breed standard. The smaller male is also a gorgeous sphynx. Both have tremendous temperment and both are candidates for studs should we decide to breed them.
The smaller male has had costly life threatening health issues. Our vet has infomed us that a virus was passed from his mother to him. It cannot be passed from him to kittens if he is kept away from the litter.
Our diagnosis and findings were provided to Elizabeth with the intention of sharing information so that she could be aware of health issues and protect her own animals.
We invesitigated several top breeders and went to personally meet her and see her cattery before deciding to buy our kittens from her. She personally delivered them to our home and was also able to see what kind of home we have to provide.
Perhaps our medical information could be of benefit to you. If you would like a copy of our report from our veterinarian, we would be willing to share that information with you as well.
We are not breeders, however, we passionately support the health and well being of the unique sphynx breed. We love the breed. We have only the two males that we treat like our children.
Our objective in responding to this situation is to offer our medical information (bought and paid for in full) in order to protect and promote good health for our sphynx and yours.
While our connection to you is in that we share the breeder, we may also share the desire to promote the integrity of the breed and to build an awareness of health issues.
Respectfully,
Specifically Sphynx Owners
Jerry and Bobbie
