LynchKittens review: cat sold with FIP 10

I am sorry to hear that you lost your kitten. Coronavirus is a benign virus which causes colds in humans ( human specific) bovine, dogs the list goes on. Coronavirus itself is not deadly, BUT if a kitten has a compromised immune system it can turn to FIP, which can NOT be confirmed on a living animal. The only test to confirm a kitten has Coronavirus is a fecal or one derived directly from body cavitie fluids confirmed via PCR DNA/RNA test, that test alone does NOT confirm FIP, simply that the cat has been in contact with the Coronavirus and is shedding it, please note the coronavirus is not one single virus it is several different strains of a cold: type of virus umbrellaed under the name Caronavirus, which is why any antigen or DNA/RNA test can not quantify a predisposition to FIP or confirm FIP, as only 1 strain can turn into FIP, unless the aforementioned mutate to FIP. It is estimated nearly half of all domestic felines will have some sort of positive result if tested for Corona Virus, with varying numbers greater than that in catteries or high number households and rescues. The FIP itself is not what kills a cat or kitten it is the kitten or cats bodies immune systems overreaction which causes death, which cannot be predicted.

While you should of received a healthy kitten from the start, it is more than probable that this kitten was positive for Coronavirus, and it mutated while in your care, and highly unlikely that it had mutated prior as it is not a spontaneous event. Unless you had your vet do a thorough exam and testing within the first few days in which you had the kitten for DNA/RNA status of Coronavirus.

Ideally one would hope that every precautionary test has been run on her cats, and her kittens, but because of the elusive and unpinpointed nature of the Coronavirus(s) there is little protocol besides hygiene that can eradicate it in the breeding environment. It is imperative of any kitten buyer to do their due diligence when they buy a kitten, both before and after acquiring their kitten, responsibility alone does not soley fall on the breeder as once the kitten leaves they cannot control a mutation or a particular strain of virus from changing, as they themselves are not god. In turn if they have had a kitten who had any form of URI prior to placement, I believe it should be disclosed to the buyer, so they may make an informed decision.

Most cats from multi-cat households carry the corona virus. The virus is contagious, FIP is not. FIP happens when the virus mutates - this happens in about 5% of cats with the virus. And without testing post mortem, there is NO way of knowing if it was FIP or not. Many vets say it's FIP when the real answer should have been "I don't know". The FIP vaccine is extremely controversial, and is not recommended. Some research actually indicates that it may cause the disease it was intended to prevent. In any case, it's not a recommended vaccine. Read about FIP and the vaccine here:

This is 'real' information from one of the leading vet schools in the country.

Oh my... There is not one more thing I could say after that comment from Lindas Daughter...She has said it all! Shame on that women for putting this on line and not handleing it like an adult. You have done nothing but embarress your self and your husband...Again shame on you!

I am Linda Lynch's daughter and was there when the complainant picked up her kittens. I live in Texas and my mother lives in Ohio, so I am not there very often. In fact, not only was the complainant there to pick up two kittens, but another couple was there to pick up their kitten from the same litter as well. Every other kitten from that litter is perfectly healthy and my mother has received tons of compliments on them. The kitten you got became sick after he had been at the vet's office being neutered. What is more unsanitary than a vet's office where people bring their sick animals? If the conditions of my mother's house were so "unsanitary" as you say, why would you have ever given her the remaining money you owed on the kittens and taken the kittens home? My mother does NOT live in unsanitary conditions. When you took your kitten to the vet when he appeared sick, the vet told you at that time that he believed the kitten could have contracted the Corona virus when he was being neutered. However, when he found out a cattery was involved, he immediately blamed the cattery. Big surprise. And let me also point out that you have never, ever owned a cat/kitten before. You didn't even know how to hold the cat. My mother allowed you to come visit your kitten every two weeks until the time he was old enough to take home. You never complained once about the conditions of the cattery, kittens or queens. And when you called my mother to tell her the kitten had died, she offered you a replacement kitten from another litter and ultimately offered to refund the entire purchase price for both kittens. I suspect you decided to lodge your complaint because my mother cannot pay you the full amount at one time and advised that she would be making payments. My mother is a disabled senior citizen who does not have the luxury of extra funds. As far as the accusation about her cats not being taken to the vet, that is absolutely incorrect. The cats are vaccinated regularly and taken in for check-ups. Her cats can also be registered, by the way. The reason they aren't is because the price of the kittens would double. My mother offers beautiful, purebred kittens at a reasonable price so anyone who wants a Siamese kitten can afford one. She works with people on payments and discounts prices when more than one kitten is purchased, such as in your case. Before you start pointing the finger and committing libel against my mother, I suggest you do a little research. Animals get sick and die. Unfortunately, that's the way it is. Your attempt to disgrace my mother is shameful, unwarranted and libelous. I highly suggest you cease your defamatory comments immediately.

I have two of the most beautiful 4 1/2 month old traditional siamese kittens in my home from Linda Lynch. I applaud the first comments about the carona virus being inherent and no one knows what causes it to mutate. The breeder here is being used as a scapegoat. It was not her fault. What about all the other kittens in that very same litter (including the female the complainer still has) that were safely neutered and are thriving? Twenty some years ago I lost two cats (12 and 14) to FIP when I brought home a new Tonkinese kitten. The kitten also had a hard time but lived til 18 years and was the most wonderful cat ever. I don't know what all happened and why. It was no breeders fault. It was me and my vet and my kitties and only life was to blame. The tests are useless (yes I sent blood sample to Cornell), the titers are practically meaningless. Stop blaming a kind woman who only wants to raise loving kitties who will give pleasure to their new owners for a lifetime. I have known the heartache of losing cats and I have known the pure joy of living a long life with some of them. You have my sympathy on the loss of your baby boy...but please stop putting blame out there or in any way implying that it was her responsibility. It was not Linda's fault, it was not your fault, it probably wasn't the vet's fault but I know from a staph infection I barely survived last year after uterine cancer surgery that no supposedly sterile operating room is safe. Mourn your loss but don't expect payback or work so hard at blame. It happened. Don't make it worse.

You brought 2 kittens and thought the place was unsanitary! Why would you do that? You got 2 kittens with no shots. Wasn' t that your choice ? Looks like alot of this is your fault too!

Corona virus is inherent in the cat. No one, even the experts knows what causes the virus to mutate into FIP.
As to your claims that this cattery is not registered, and that the conditions are not sanitary, shouldn't you have checked that out before you bought kittens from them? Sounds like you got what you paid for.
