precious kittens cattery = precious kittens review: selling sick persian kittens 11

We purchased a persian from precious, he is lovely, healthy, playful and the joy of our family. Ms. Precious has always attended our calls when in the beginning we had questions on how to treat, feed, bath etc.
I would certainly recommend her and her kittens at any time!
I am Wolf Schonborn, Weston, Fl. 33327 and I stand behind what I am stating here.

Auto correct messed up my review. I meant to say his temperament is like nothing I've seen before. I'm beyond grateful that I got my cat from Precious. He's the most special amazing cat.

I have to say this negative review sounds strange to me.
I have the most amazing white Persian from here that's 7 years old and he's the most amazing cat I could ever ask for. He's temperament is like nothing I had ever seen before in a cat. I'm betting grateful for him.

The discussions above really saddens me. I have purchased the highest quality white pashmina blue eye kitten from Precious. She is professional courteous and absolutely loves her animals. I live in treasure Island Florida and she hand delivered my Marley. Her Cats are rare, and extremely high quality, the information above and the complain I believe to be completely false. I do hope that she is able to find the person that is raising false rumors against her. This is completely unfair... I have no personal interest to defend her, except that the experience I had in no way matches the description above. I believe it is clear that it is false, because she has answer and asked the person to come forward.

purchased my white kitten in 2012, he was just as described healthy and loving. Precious was extremely helpful, knowledgable and professional. I would buy again

Thank you so much for the warning folks.I'm a lifetime resident of Vero Beach, Fl. and was just looking at pictures of her darling kittens...now you have scared me away...Thank you for saving me alot of pain...Sounds like shes in it for only the money...I hope she's run right out of town.

I purchased a kitten in 2010 that was abused and you could not groom him. He went into a frenzy when a comb would gently touch his belly or go around his private parts. Our arm and hands were bloody and grooming with leather gloves proved to be too difficult. He moaned and cryed jusst like a baby and we told our Vet we think he was abused and esp. around his private area. Also, when he was shipped to us in his carrier, he would eat and then return to the carrier and stay there for 24 hours! It took us months to change that habit. He liked being alone and NOT being touched. I would kiss him and try to carry him and he moaned. I cryed and damed this breeder. I jsut wondered what the hell did they do to make this kittem/cat moan and cry in pain over being kissed and gently carried. He had to be shaved all the time. You know who we are and contact you? WHY? To send him back for more of the same treatment...You said we came from your Mother's house..I think you and your Mother need to close shop..we have worked 2 years and it is getting worse...cleaning his eyes and he grinds his teeth so hard you can hear it and yes, MS. MACKY, HE STILL RUNS TO HIS CARRIER...Do the world a favor and close shop...you are a hearless person and mommy too!

I completely agree.. Beware of Precious Kittens Cattery! To this blogger who is telling people the truth about Precious Kittens thank you and I am sorry you had to suffer that same thing I did..watching a sweet kitten(kittens) die. In 2009 I went through a lot of trouble and money to get two sweet kittens shipped to me. I never thought so many things could go wrong considering I had signed health guarantees..long story short both my kittens died within a year..my female got the dry version of FIP (she barely lasted 5 months) and the male got the wet version of FIP. I can't tell you how hard it was to watch them slowly suffer and die. I spent thousands of dollars to save them but it wasn't enough. Precious had nothing but excuses and loop holes out of her contract so I got nothing in return. Precious is the worst kind of con artist cause she uses animals in her sick con not caring about their health. Please don't make the same mistake I did..stay away from her and save yourself the heartbreak. PS Precious if you want to play it off like you don't know me either I would be more then happy to send you all of my vet reports again and pictures kittens at the vet before they were put down 

I have carefully read the report with respect to the ill kittens from Precious Kittens in Vero Beach, Florida. May I state that in the late summer, early Fall, 2009, I purchased two kittens from Precious Mackey. From the out set I found this lady to be a credible and fair business woman.
The kittens which I received where not ill but, they were in good health. I continued to follow up with the rigid regime I feel Ms. MacKey has with respect to her kittens and cattery as a whole.
Whenever I had questions concerning these kittens, I would call Ms. MacKey and she was only too glad to offer her assistance and advice to me.
The two kittens are the joy of my life and the lives of my two friends. I admit that they are pampered and very spoiled but, . they have personalities that make them the joy of our lives. I reject the fact that Ms. MacKey would not do every thing in her power to assist and satisfy the buyer. Catherine Scott, owner of Sir Winston S. Chuirchill and Sir Henry Hampton

This is Precious Mackey with Precious Kittens Cattery. It was disturbing to read your letter on this website in addition to the many other websites where you have copy and pasted the same letter of complaint. As a reputable business and cattery owner of over 15 years, I am eager to resolve this issue as soon as possible; however, in order to do so, I have a few vital questions and comments about your complaint.

1. What is your name? You posted this letter two years after the alleged transaction under an anonyms identity. The first step to resolving this issue is to identify yourself. Your story does not match any kitten sale that I’ve incurred, so I can’t even guess your identity.

2. Why didn’t you contact me first? You have taken the time to post this letter on the internet, but you did not actually contact me before doing so. If I’m not aware of the problem, I cannot fix the problem.

3. Exactly how did you purchase a cubby Persian from me in early 2010 when cubby Persians did not exist on my website until late 2011?

Living in Florida where there is a strict pet lemon law, I am required to have each kitten completely vet checked before sale. This check up includes blood work, stool testing, vaccinations, and overall condition of the kitten. My vet will not risk her licensing by signing a health certificate on a kitten with “ringworm lesions”. You indicated that the cubby Persian you purchased from me in early 2010, despite the fact that cubby Persians did not exist until late 2011, was shaved to hide ringworm lesions; however, this does not make any sense. Shaving the coat of a cat with ringworm lesions would only expose the lesions to their fullest extent.

FIP (Feline Infections Peritonitis) is a fatal disease. Every cat with FIP will die and usually at around 9 months of age. If my breeders carried this disease, they would be dead or dying unable to reach sexual maturity in order to produce offspring yet I continue to produce kittens. Not to mention, what cattery owner would tell a consumer that their cattery is infected with FIP and ringworm?

I have come forth responding to your letter with nothing to hide. I have revealed my name and contact information. I kindly ask that you do the same. Every kitten I place is sold with a signed contract and health certificate. Please have all that information handy when contacting me. My phone number is [protected]. Also, feel free to contact my vet as a reference on the alleged health issues. The office is located in Port St. Lucie, Florida. Kindness Animal Hospital [protected]. There are three (3) doctors on staff all who have examined my kittens for almost 10 years – Dr. Eager, Dr. Provitola, and Dr. Daum.

As a side note to readers, I want to mention that shortly after this complaint letter posted, I was contacted by several SEO Reputation Management Companies asking that I utilize their services to “remove the negative postings” – for a large fee of course. In fact, it was an SEO Reputation Management Company that made me aware of this complaint letter. With all the peculiarities of this situation, one has to wonder if SEO Reputation Management Companies are using these unregulated complaint boards as a forum to generate business. Many of these Reputation Management Companies are run by a few people right from their home. This is how they make a living – it’s a con artists dream situation. Create a problem for the business owner, and then offer services to solve the problem. With google at their fingertips, they are able to access terminology to help create a complaint that appears legitimate.

Unfortunately, anyone can post anything about anybody on an unregulated consumer complaint website with no validation or repercussions. In fact, a poster can write a slanderous letter under one user name, then create another user name responding to their own complaint as means to bolster its validity. The complaint, being created with tag names specifically designed to appeal to search engines, places the business owner’s reputation in a vulnerable position thus in some cases willing to pay the large fee in order to have the negative postings removed. I chose not to take that route as I will not be a victim of extortion. Instead I have faith in the consumer’s ability to distinguish valid complaints from those made with malice intent. In addition, consumers would do better to contact legitimate consumer services such as the Better Business Bureau where there are regulations and requirements to be met in order to place a complaint.

If you are a consumer and would like to contact me about this situation or any other situation posted about my cattery, please feel free to contact me at [protected]. I am more than willing to supply further references in addition to the vet reference I’ve supplied above. Once again, I want to reiterate that in this forum, anyone, can post anything, about anybody under an endless supply of user names. This site does not have any protocols or requirements to post a complaint. I ask that you please consider this upon further reading.

To the person or entity that placed this complaint, I anxiously await your phone call. I am eager to discuss this matter with you and reach a resolution. I will not respond to further communication via this board or any other message board. If your intentions are genuine, a phone call is the appropriate method. Should you choose to contact me via this message board, it will only solidify that your complaint is a fraud and your intentions are to smear my reputation for your own gain.
