Dream Coon Cattery Maine coon kitten

We purchased a kitten from here in August of 2022 for $2500. We have had him for a little over two months now. Even though he is a wonderful kitten and we love him very much, he has cost us thousands more in vet bills. He came to us with fleas and an upper respiratory infection and now we just found out that he has ringworm as well. I also have not received his papers and the owners of this cattery will not answer my emails about that. I'm not even sure they are legitimate breeders. I wish I would have searched for negative reviews before purchasing a kitten from them. Buyer beware.

Dream Coon Cattery - Darina II

I recently purchased a kitten from Elena, Darina. She arrived with a deep cough and severely underweight and dehydrated. I contacted Elena right away and she indicated the cough was likely from meowing as the kitten was shipped on the plane. Darina, the kitten was taken to the vet on the first available appointment following the holiday weekend. The kitten...

Dream Coon Cattery sells kittens with pre existing pathology like healthy

One week ago, Elena Mikirticheva, the owner of Dream Coon Cattery, sold me for $2, 200 Maine coon kitten Xantus, DOB June 14, 2019. I asked Elena to sell me a healthy kitten for training and hunting large rats. Xantus is a nice kitten, we love him from the first hours. Unfortunately, he has the rear limbs prominent valgus deformity (angular deformity or X-shaped). The kitten is not able to rise and jump to 1.5-foot box, has reluctance to run, jump, difficulty to go up and down stairs, limping to the right side while climbing stairs.
Andrew, Elena's husband (by the way, the great honest guy) said, that Xantus fall down from a high cat tree few days before transportation and probably has a fracture. Xanrus was not seen veterinarian after that, and received drug with neurotoxic effect before shipping. I was recommended to go to a veterinarian for a full medical examination and treatment. I read the other reviews of this cattery and now see, that this is Elena's tradition to sell kittens with preexisting pathology like healthy, and hide this information from buyers.

How come you could not send multiple pictures with my name Kelly next to it . Only a legit Cattery would do this. You are unable to verify and cannot send more pictures. Instead I got these that say “Tracy” because Elena is fake and she did NOT take these photos. Buyer beware.

It’s because you got scammed. If you actually go on the website and read the sentences, they don’t make grammatical sense! They are put through a translator! It is completely fake and a scam.

I can not speak for your situation specifically but I can tell you that she is not a scam. My husband and I had been to their home to purchase and pick up our kitten in January and she is legitimate. My kitten did have significant dental issues but she is standing behind her word and we have come to an amicable arrangement. A scammer would not back up her kitten(s) and offer a amicable solution as she did. Good Luck.

Dream Coon Cattery irresponsible breeding

I purchased two (2) Maine Coon kittens from this catery 3 years ago; the kittens were sisters. Upon getting them home, I noticed worms in their stools. I notified the breeder, and she dismissed my claim, stating that the kittens had been wormed and vaccinated, and that worms are undetectable by the naked eye. I took them to my Vet (Dr DJ at Stafford Animal Hospital in Stafford, VA), and they were treated for the worms.

As they matured, I noticed various deformities- their upper and lower teeth were not fully formed, the gray Coon had a lazy eye, and both had a very pronounced spinal curve. But, by this time they were loved and part of my family, and I had no intention of returning them.

Two weeks ago, my grey Coon became paralyzed from a clot that formed in her heart, which was enlarged and had thickened walls. I had to put her to sleep. Being concerned for her sister's heart, I just had an echocardiogram conducted, and she too has heart wall thickening, and and enlarged aorta.

My Vet, Dr. DJ, suggested that I report the breeder since, in her opinion, the issues my two cats had/have were the result of reckless breeding.

I have not contacted the breeder with this information about the cardiac conditions, since she was dismissive when I broached the issue of the worms.

Thank you for your time and attention in this matter. My heart just aches at the thought that other families may be going through this too, and with each cat costing $1500.00, the breeder should be stopped.

Addendum-I contacted the breeder, and sent her the results from the cardiac ultrasound, which supported my Vet's opinion of what my cat died from, and that my other Coon has same cardiac condition and will be on medication for the remainder of her life.

Elena has sent me a partial refund, to date.

What I do not appreciate is getting an email from Elena's #1 supporter from this forum. This issue is between me and Elena, and does not require additional outside dialogue.

As far as I know, all sold pets should be checked with vet after the sale. You, as a decent buyer, did it and everything was fine? why be angry at the breeder. By the way, I changed 3 vets before I found the best for my cats.

I did immediately take them to my vet, two days after bringing them home because they had worms and needed treatment. I contacted the breeder as a courtesy, and she then argued with me, stating that worms couldn't visually be seen. While this is true for some forms, all cat owner are familiar with the little white ones that are typically from fleas.

As a side note, the 2nd cat, the one that was put one the heart meditation as a result of her sister's early death, just passed away on Friday from a sudden cardiac event. With the treatment, we managed to give her two more years of life, but she still died WAY TOO YOUNG, as did her sibling, as a result of terrible breeding practices.

Do not understand where the breeder? It's mostly looks like fault of your vet.
Could breeder have predicted something as clairvoyant?! Or did not communicated with you? I'm not belive.
Thus it unacceptable to pour out your anger at all. Be on the good side.

Dream Coon Cattery - cat breeder

Elena's cats are beautiful, with gorgeous markings and unusual colors. But the emotional pain that came along with seeing our beautiful young kitty die from a preventable virus that he picked up from that cattery was not worth it. We purchased an expensive Maine Coon kitten in August 2016. He died last week (Nov. 2017) from feline leukemia, a contagiou...

Dream Coon Cattery maine coon kitten

I purchased a kitten from Dream Coon and had him shipped since they told me he couldn't be shipped via airline because the Cattery wasn't licensed to do so. I should have suspected something in that they were in such a hurry to get rid of him...

First off I did not receive the correct kitten. Secondly, he arrived with SEVERE diarrhea, which he has had for 3 months now. Thousands in medications, probiotics, vet visits and no cure! No responses from the Cattery!

Please beware! My poor cat is so sick - Do not buy a kitten from this Cattery - I will be filing a complaint with TICA!

Did your vet test for coronavirus antibodies? Chronic diarrhea is a symptom of a coronavirus carrier. Some cats that are infected with the virus can have acute mild symptoms when first infected and eventually resolves, and some can have chronic diarrhea. I have read where someone solved their kitten's chronic diarrhea by feeding only boiled organic chicken. I believe they fed their kitten this for a couple months; then, started to reintroduce wet and dry food. Ask your vet about this before attempting.
