Can I give this negative stars!?!?!

FOR STARTERS!.. I wanted to purchase 2 babies. So I found Jane and figured she would be amazing to work with. WRONG. IF YOU WANT CATS DO NOT PURCHASE RAGDOLLS FROM THIS WOMAN!

I had contacted her in early September looking for 2 boys. She said they would be ready to be fixed around Thanksgiving and I would have them the second week of December. Well December came and went. She will say she didn't send them to me because he husband got sick and almost died. I said to her my brother passed away and I know what stress she was going through. She said no, I don't know the pain because I am not paying the bills. WTF!? Regardless, She said I would have my babies in December. Turns out, they were only 8 weeks old when she promised they would be fixed. She knew this and lied. When I got their paper work, they were born October 1. How in the hell are you going to fix them at 8 weeks old?! I was under the impression they were at least 13 weeks. Well they weren't.

The drama of dealing with Jane, being lied to, having my phone calls not returned, and the straight up disregard she had for anyone else was NOT worth the $1800 I spent.

Furthermore, I wanted the cats. After everything, she still didn't get them fixed. I told her if I don't get them, I want a refund. Well she refused to do that. I said ok, if you can't get them fixed, I will. She said ok, I pay $65 to get them fixed I'll refund you that. SHE FORGOT TO MENTION SHE GETS A DISCOUNT, and when I called around for the cost to fix 2 cats it was closer to $300. She at first did not want to give me the $300. Saying she raised them for nothing and she has never worked with a client as difficult as I am. Anyone else would gladly do it on their own. I work hard for my money, I will not gladly do it! Regardless, she sent me a check for $150. SHE STILL OWES ME $150. SO IF YOU READ THIS JANE, YOU OWE ME MONEY AND YOU ARE A HORRIBLE CATTERY.

When trying to orcastrate a time with her "friends" to pick up the cats it was like freaking pulling teeth. They did not respond to emails, and to pay $300 to pick them up from the airport, felt more like a drug deal once they handed the cats over.

Once I received my cats, they were beautiful. One has had a bad eye infection since I got him on January 22. Also for being a "SOCIAL" cattery, that is complete BS! To this day, you still can not get close to the one cat. You would think he never had social contact. You look at him and he runs. This is the least social cat I ever met. The other one comes to me but not my fiance. They are terrified of all other people. In an email Jane wrote me, she said "they love the vacuum" Uhm, NO!

Everything I have written, can be proven by documentation via the emails I have sent back and forth with Jane. I sincerely urge whomever wants to purchase a cat from Jane to reconsider. It will be one of the most difficult and stressful situations you will experience. When you are paying that kind of money for a baby, you expect to work with a professional. Not someone who is not only moody, hard to get in touch with (for every 10 phone calls she would eventually call you back), but a liar. I do not deal with people that lie. From when I would get the cats, to their actual age, to the money she owed me, she lied. She is so full of crap pretending to be a caring individual. When I told her I wanted a refund, she started to scream at me.

In addition I have not heard from her once since I got the babies. She never called to see how they are or how they were accepting the change. She is a real caring person, let me tell you. Any other person who "loves her babies as much as she does", you would think she would call to atleast check in once to see how they were doing. NOPE.

PLEASE reconsider your choice to purchase from Jane. JANE IF YOU READ THIS I REGRET EVER WORKING WITH YOU, YOU ALSO STILL OWE ME $150. YOU ARE THE BIGGEST JERK I'VE EVER WORKED WITH, AND I HOPE ANY SANE PERSON WILL NEVER PURCHASE A CAT FROM YOU AGAIN!

Hello, I have exactly the same situation with you. She first told me her daughter gave birth, and then told me her dad was got an accident, and then she disappeared again. Did she get back to you? How is your cat? I haven't receive anything from her yet. Please contact me, may be we can fight together. My email is renyuan92@hotmail.com

What should I do? I bought a kitten from Jane Balter (rock creek ranch) for$3000. After I paid, she disappeared, ignoring all my message for 3 month! Till now, I still can’t get any reply. What should I do? I’m not in USA, I can’t do anything through calling police.

Thank you for all the above. I received some useful information on this women, who is my so called sister in law. This information will help me in s personnel case. I knew about her psyc license, but the shoplifting is news to me. I had a feeling she was not the person she tries to project.

Jane Tye Balter is a certifiable lying nutcase. You can actually check out that she has a record online for shoplifting and has had her Psychology license revoked for misdemeanor offenses that all revolve around lying and stealing. So if you know what's good for you, don't work with the woman. She should not even be allowed to sell her cats. I got my ragdoll cat from her in 2009 and it was a bloody stinkin' nightmare dealing with her...all the same crap as this lady suggests. Jane didn't follow up with me to let me know when my cat was going to be ready, I had to follow up with her, and she didn't answer her phone EVER. So I had to rely on her calling me back when she got around to it, or emailing her. I kept a copy of all my emails, so I can verify every complaint I have here as well as the lady above.. When she did call me back, she would tell me the exact same thing as she told this woman, that she'd never had a customer so difficult to work with and that I was the problem, not her. I gave her my deposit in January. I didn't get a cat until September. You'd think that required a little communication, unless your Jane Tye Balter. By the time, I finally did go pick up my cat, he was already 14 weeks old. She just finally got around to neutering him. And he was sick. He had a fever. I immediately had a vet bill and guess what? We've had problems with this guy ever since. I don't expect that he'll actually even live to 8 years old, let alone the 20 years old she said most Ragdolls live to. She's nuts. Just don't believe a word that comes out of this woman's mouth and run away from her like your hair is on FIRE. You will live to regret it, if you buy your cat from her.

totally agree, I paid 3500++$ for a said show bree stud with a diractional tail kink, I took a slap in my face at first show when judge told me no title no way to show this cat again, it is a redhibitory defect, and yes he is sooo shy it is hard to reach him, sometimes he accepts cuddles but fear when we touch his head, and at times we can't even reach to him, it is obviously a misdeed at socialization as his kittens are real dolls, I would warmly recomment to flee from this cattery,

It seems as my sad experience...I know this lies... I lost 2300 dollars and 900 euros. I bought in february 2011 one show breeder male from her and I got one nice pet with genetic defects (divergent strabismus) that was immediately spayed...:((( I have original contract with the best guarantees but the breeder don't respected.
I know how much frustrating is work with her...:(((
hugs to you Skylar
