Rideau Lake Bengals

His phone number is [protected]. He goes by various names but his Venmo is Alex Baggio. He usually travels with his wife. He sold me a cat that he said was an F2 SavannahLynx mix cat. Two DNA tests revealed that the cat has zero DNA but was primarily Bengal and domestic cat. In addition he gave me a false birthday. The vet noted that my 10 week old kitten had all of his adult teeth. Sells his cats out of the trunk of his white Porsche. My cat had fleas, mites, no shots, worms and conjunctivitis. STAY AWAY FROM THIS MAN

I purchased a snow mink male bengal from this breeder based their beautiful and seemingly healthy cats as well as the fact that they are a registered breeder.

This was in 2018. I arranged to pick him up and when I received him he seemed terrified, underweight/age for leaving his mom, I mean he was tiny. He also had an eye infection that I had to treat as soon as I was home.

At 8 months old he was diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis. 8 MONTHS. I let the breeder know I was obviously upset and she offered to just trade him with a different one. He’s not a bike or clothes he’s a kitten. Would have been nice to have any sort of refund for something that was promised not to be an issue with their“good breeding”. Anything that could have helped with medical expenses due to their bad breeding. His food is 110$ /24cans, due to this illness.

Flash forward to this week when he has been acting not himself. Turns out its likely after some tests that he may also in fact have KIDNEY DISEASE. He just turned 5 yrs old and even my vets are dumfounded as this is not common in young animals.

I wont be contacting the breeder as they do not care for health concerns. I’m writing to sway you not to support this breeder even thought her animals seem beautiful and healthy. They are just beautiful.

I had over a 10, 000 word, detailed, awful but all TRUTHFUL rant typed out, but I being a breeder of all sorts of livestock and exotic animals feel I should take the higher road.
I have NOTHING nice to say about this breeder. I read all the statements on this complaint board as well as found other sites where awful situations similar to the experience I had with purchasing a kitten from this Breeder were posted. If you care to hear about why I would NEVER IN A MILLION years recommend Dorinda or Karen Earl at Rideau Lake Bengals feel free to contact me.
My name is Heather Rennie, my email address is [protected]@live.ca and my phone number is 705.706.3428, please just let me know that you are inquiring for more details about Rideau Lake Bengals, as I have many people contacting me for animals I have for sale.
I do believe in second chances and people can change - which is why I have controlled myself and not posted publicly every single, awful bit to my whole experience. I would much rather deal with my previous "BACKDOOR" breeder for a future kitten.
I only hope that Rideau Lake Bengals; Dorinda & Karen Earl, change and stop breaking hearts and bank accounts.

I honestly can't believe people are still buying cats off this clown!

PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE.

This breeder is NOT TICA registered and is a fraud.

She sells sick animals, has had her own pregnant females pass due to infection and goes on a rampage whenever anyone tries to make her answer for sick animals.

She threatens people at time of purchase that she wont hand over documents if they give a bad review.

She also deletes bad reviews of her business off Google-honest, right?

There's a slew of bad reviews against this company if you look them up. BUYER BEWARE.

Paid $2300. Told her 2x within a week the kitten had bloody diarrhea. Stress was her answer. Turns out it has cryptosporidium. It cannot be treated, it can cause significant health issues and it is highly contagious. We purchased another kitten from a different breeder 2 months later(before the vet gave the crypto diagnosis) and he became infected as a result.

Quite obviously the entire litter and any other cat around them is also infected.

When I told her we got this diagnosis her response was "hey"

She is quite obviously an immoral business person but a bit of a [censored]bag as well.

Not only do the prices change but she also sleeps with husband's :) thanks for a great experience rideau lake bengals! Wife's beware!

After extremely friendly reassuring and very communicative experience, found out the owner had done this before.

Definitely won't be doing business here again, considering she's a hoe. Once again, wonderful experience. Didn't even get my deposit back.
