[edited]Sphynx Cattery review: Trouble with breeder ([edited]) 8

Thanks for you comment Don! you are so right. - slynn1, the ulcers were progressing at such a fast rate that they were taking over her eye and becoming very painful. I had no luck finding anyone to take her in that condition, facing the extreme vet bills attached to her. I ran adds called the humane society, defenders for animal rights, and the SPCA. They were no help. My next step at the vet was a $1000 skin biopsy and to see a dermatology specialist that was not near my house and way out of my budget. I was already in over my head $1200 in the one month I had her. The breeder refused her back. I took her to a special program that will run a pic of them online and try longer to find a home then other places, but she was suffering and I was stuck between a rock and a hard place with the breeder. I couldn't afford her care, and no one would take her. I can only hope someone with alot of money and time came to adopt her. I would encourage anyone buying from a breeder to ask for a signed health certificate from a licensed vet, and the contact info. of their vet before purchase, especially for an older cat like the one I purchased. I have doubts that this cat was ever even seen by a vet until I took her. And no, there were no rescues to take her, I tried desperately. I'm sorry I didn't hear from you before slynn1, we could have arranged for you to take her.

Take your phone to the police! I'd love to see you dig a big hole for yourself! Better yet, take the money I paid you for the cat and go retain a lawyer with it! What you have is no evidence, it was a progressive disease, that started out as two little "rubbing marks" as you called them! You told me in a txt that this was something easily treated with "holistic medications". You have a whole page devoted to holistic medicine on your webpage. For someone not dealing with autoimmune you know alot about how to treat it, don't you? You told me you were selling this cat at 11mo. because she didn't get big enough to breed. When I told my vet that, she said there was nothing wrong with her size to breed!
Was she held on to as a breeding cat until she showed signs of autoimmune? Was she with me just long enough for the "holistic" medicine to wear off? Why are you so scared to give vaccines to you cats? Could it be because there is a small chance a vaccine can exacerbate or trigger a relapse of the underlying hereditary autoimmune! She didn't have just 2 lesions, and the ones pictured were new ones that popped up, they were popping up everywhere. After learning about the auto immune, my husband and I even noticed these white round discolorations in her skin, that were suspicious of old healed lesions. Why are you not posting the contact info. for you vet on your site, or her vet records for the 11 months you had her. Maybe someone who knows alot about "holistic medications" doesn't need a vet. I am not guilty of any crimes you posted on your site! I have no charges pending, nor been convicted of anything! With people like you around who needs Veterinarians and Attorney's! When I bought my dog the breeder gave me a signed health certificate from a DVM, and I never was asked to sign any contract! I want my money back [edited]!

Washington county law states that all dogs and cats at the age of 4 months old in Washington County shall be currently immunized against rabies by a licensed vet. I don't remember you giving me any rabies certificate, she was 11 months old. This has me terribly worried. It is imperative you provide me this information!
Slynn1 please don't underestimate the profound effect this situation has had on us. It wasn't some dump I dropped her off in, it had caring skilled staff that could make the determination to humanely euthanize her, or assist with finding placement. I am grateful that my city provided support that is there to help someone in my situation.
The other thing I would have done differently here is to not pay cash to a breeder.

[edited] saying she didn't know where I took the cat is a bold face lie! I text her the day the cat was dropped off and said she was at the Baltimore City animal shelter! If you put those words in computer search, it's the first place that pops up! If she needed more clarification then that she could have asked me, but never did. I didn't hear back from her that day, only the day after she text me and threatened to sue me if I didn't take my complaints down! NOTHING about her going to pick up the cat! The whole reason I text [edited] where the cat was, was so she had the option of going to get her if she wanted. I was going to bring the cat straight to [edited] front porch, until she threatened me with trespassing if I did. I never threatened [edited] in anyway! This was the second cat I purchased from [edited], my first one was a small kitten who went through the same pathway of care as the second, and never had any problems! [edited] advertised all vaccines would be up to date, I had to give this cat a rabies vaccine which is law in Maryland at 4 months! I trusted [edited], so when she posted this 11 month old cat for sale at a discounted price, I bought her as a companion to my first cat. [edited] has no business trying to interpret my vet records. She is NOT a vet! FIV is feline immunodeficiency VIRUS, it's an immunodeficiency condition in one which a foreign body overtakes the immune system and causes the immune system to not work. Autoimmune disease is a condition in which the immune system begins to attack healthy cells within the body. The vet assured me this was not something not contagious such as FIV, or bacterial, or fungal, which I told her all of this in previous text! The cat was not surrendered out of spite, the cat was surrendered because she was falling apart and needed immediate care that I couldn't provide. I specifically asked [edited] prior to purchase if the cat was healthy because I knew I didn't have the finances or time to provide for a sick cat. No one should be faced with a referral to a specialist, and a $1000 skin biopsy 1 month after purchasing a healthy cat! I end up in a health crisis, and [edited] refused to give me the name of the vet that cared for the cat, or the previous 11 months of vet records for the cat! What kind of a breeder would do something like that! She then lied yet again on her website and told people I didn't request that information until after I surrendered the cat! I have all of the dates documented, which will come out in court! [edited] had plenty of opportunity to have her cat back, and she refused. I have all of my documentation in order, to prove these lies. I have already filed a lawsuit against this breeder, I have every right to extricate myself from a contract I signed because of false advertisement and other false statements that were made to me prior to purchase. I am not going to entertain anymore lies [edited] posts about me online. See you in court [edited]!

The truth will come out in court...

You don't know where I took her! If you look at [edited] comment on my complaint on the "scam report" site, she comments that I took her to the Baltimore City animal shelter! [edited] knew exactly where that cat was because I text her where she was the day she was surrendered!

correction- scam report

The site is not called scam report, this keeps changing my word when I hit submit. I'm going to try it again... /link removed/

scam report

[edited] is not a vet. She has no business trying to interpret my vet records. FIV is feline immunodeficiency virus. An immunodeficiency condition is one in which a foreign body overtakes the immune system and causes the immune system to not work. Autoimmune disease is a condition in which the immune system begins to attack healthy cells within the body itself. I have every right to extricate myself from a contract that was signed because of false advertising and false statements made to me prior to purchase! I never threatened [edited] in anyway and was willing to deliver this cat to her front porch until she threatened me with trespassing if I did. The cat was in need of immediate care, she was worsening by the moment. With the breeder unwilling to take her back, and me not having $1000 for the skin biopsy or the dermatology specialist the only humane thing to do was to surrender her to people that could help. [edited] refused all access to the cat's previous 11 months of vet records while she had the cat, or giving me the name of her vet! Looking forward to my day in court!

"Proven Innocent is MISLEADING!" This was small claims court..and [edited] hired an experianced attorney. Who spends money on an attorney for small claims court! I didn’t, it would have cost more for the attorney then the cat. [edited] did NOT “prove” anything pertaining to the health of the cat the 11 months she had her! The only vet records entered into evidence were mine, by me! To this day I have never seen any veterinary documentation from [edited] pertaining to the cat while in her care, or any documentation she even took the cat to a vet! Iv’e never even heard a name of a vet who saw this cat. I begged [edited] at one point for the rabies certificate(which is law in MD for a cat 4mo. Of age) and she ignored me! I was very concerned because the sick cat had been exposed to children, and [edited] refused to give me any documentation! That was a despicable thing for a breeder to do! I reported her to the humane society! Signing Her Contract Was A Big Mistake I made, and buyer beware. [edited] contract is what was argued and it stuck, so I didn’t get the judgment against [edited] I was seeking. It was my fault for trusting [edited]word about the health of the cat and immunizations received. I should have gotten the vets name and all records prior to purchase, and I didn’t. The contract is what mattered, and it protected [edited]. So, the question still remains...WHERE ARE THE VET RECORDS [edited]? WHO WAS THE VET THAT SAW HER? Those two big questions have never been answered for me, and I don't anticipate they ever will. I would NEVER EVER deal with [edited] again!

[edited], if you continue to post things pertaining to me in a false light, you better get ready for a long drive, you’re making this personal now, and your contract won't protect you from that! You'll be coming to court in Baltimore next time!
