Sherakan Bengals Kathy Laroche is selling sick cats and not providing registration papers or health records for them. The kitten we recieved from Kathy Laroche was stopped in Customs because the kitten had sprayed diarrhea all over the carrier. We were ordered to take the kitten immediately to recieve medical care other wise he would not have been released through Customs to us. We were also told by the Veterinarian that examined him that he had one testicle. The other tecticle was lost up in his abdomen and would require an expensive invasive surgery to correct this. It is also a genetic defect, so the cat could not be used for breeding purposes.

Kathy Laroche owes us $2200 for this kitten, NOT including medical expenses.

We have been told by several other breeders that Kathy has scammed them, and is an unethical person to deal with.

DO NOT BUY A KITTEN FROM HER! BEWARE!

Sherakan Bengals Kathy Laroche sent us a kitten for breeding purposes, with one testicle, sick with parasites and severe diarrhea. The kitten nearly did not make it through customs inspection. She has not provided registration papers for this kitten either. She has a history of unethical behavior with other breeders, we found out a little too late.

A kitten with one testicle must be neutered, and cannot be bred. We paid $2500 for this kitten, and cannot recoup our losses.

We do not recommend Sherakan Bengals or Kathy Laroche at all to anyone! It is unethical to breed cats that produce inherited defects such as one testicle.

Stay away!

To whom it may concern,
My name is Mark, I am Rose Marie Zizzo's cousin.
I feel the need to explain to everyone who has posted comments
blogs and words of hate about my cousin the reason she is the way
she is and to warn innocent people of potential misery.
Rose Marie was always a troubled child but trouble turned to
tragedy when she was 11 years old Rosemarie had always exhibited
signs of mental instability however when she was 11 years old, we
were just kids and my cousin, who had always been obsessed with
cat's, ruthlessly poured gasoline on the neighbor's cat, then lit
it with a lighter she stole from my mother, I ran screaming to my
mother Rosemarie stood and watched with fascination.
My mother quickly called 911 but it took them over 24 minutes to
get to our home and sadly it was too late for the little kitten, it
was at that time my cousin was taken from our home and placed in a
mental facility. She lived out the next several years there and
was stabilized on medication for her Schizophrenia disorder, she
appeared to be fine when they released here but then she began to
collect cats in her trailer until one day a someone reported her to
the authorities for having over 75 cats in her trailer many of
which were severely sick and deprived of human compassion.
As the investigation continued multiple cat bodies were found
stored in her freezer, it was at this time that our family
discovered that Rose Marie had stopped taking her medication, she
was once again hospitalized for week in 1/2 and released. Having
all of her cats taken from her she turned her mentally deranged
mind to the Internet where she began a marathon of stalking cat
breeders building what appeared to be cat breeder consumer sites.
Because of her ongoing harassment and defamation of reputable
breeders, tons of breeders began to complain about Rose Marie to
CFA, they banned her from ever registering cats.
She was now banned from the world's largest cat breeding registry
and all of her cats she once owned were taken from her. One would
have thought this would have been the end of her brutal online
attacks against pedigreed cat breeders, it would have been in a
sound and stable humans mind but that was not the case with Rose
Marie Zizzo. Going on and off of her medication made her medical
condition even worse. She had become fixated on a woman known as
Melanie Lowery. Melanie was a cat breeder who had sold her a cat,
my cousin began to post comments that the cat was ill and Melanie
was evil, after enduring two years of vicious attacks from Rose
Marie Melanie had finally had enough and filed a lawsuit she won
this lawsuit in the amount of $7500, my cousin was found guilty of
Internet cyber bulling and wrongful defamation of character our
family had to scrape together the money to pay Melanie for my
cousin's wrongful actions.
This slap on the hand did not faze my sister, she continued to
widen her selection of cat breeders primarily consisting of Persian
and Himalayan cat breeders then quickly turned on all other
pedigree cat breeders. At this point Rose Marie had been kicked
out of CFA, lost a lawsuit, had a judgment against her to silence
her online attacks and all of her cats were taken from her, these
events continued to deteriorate her mental illness, as our family
we did not know what to do for psychological disorder which
escalated around the world via the Internet so we began to distance
ourselves from her and remind her we would not be here to bail her
out financially again.
Her family support network had been exhausted by her controversial
behavior and outburst which occurred on a day to day basis, her
irritable moods could be triggered from a certain food, too little
or not enough sleep. The one thing we began to notice was how the
simple glance at even a feral cat launched her into another online
tirade and violent declamation. Her wild words pushed cat breeders
to form an alliance against her, while some fought back others
ignored her demagogue, vehement ways. To this day Rose Marie
continues to build multiple complaint sites in which she uses to
feed her perplexed and delusion state of mind.
These web sites are as dangerous as she is, with no family no cats
and no friends only a computer she learned the dangerous skill of
installing malicious spyware and tracking malware on her sights to
see how many people were reading her disoriented post about cat
breeders.
The hazardous malware installed onto anyone's computer who dared to visit Rose Marie's complaint sites fell victim.
This became her new obsession. When people visited her site for any length of time her
websites installed invisible history tracking spyware, this
software enabled Rosemarie to track the future Internet surfing
history of people who visited her site, using this spyware she was
able to watch people go into their online banking and credit card
statements.
Unsuspecting cat breeders and everyday citizens reading her rants
fell victim to her watch full eye. Rose Marie was able to see the
login information and passwords breeders used to advertise their
cats for sale online. Breeders could not understand how personal
information stored only in their email boxes was being displayed on
Rosemary's websites. As Rose Marie read through the emails of any
and all who visited her web sites she posted personal information
such as income tax documents for the world to see, by this time
Rose Marie was no longer only targeting cat breeders, everyone was
a victim who was seeking phony complaints stored on her deceitful
websites. We as her family knew to never visit any of her sites
because she WILL obtain personal documents and private information
and post them on her website in hopes of getting a reaction from
anyone.
Rose Marie has hundreds of complaint sites with various looks and
feels to them.
The only safe, accurate and authoritative consumer review sites are
www.consumerreports.org
The Attorney General's Office (Per state)

The FBI has now been notified of her illegal online treacherous
behavior. Under no conditions should anyone be so drama driven
that they feel the need to visit one of her many websites, doing so
WILL compromise your computer and financial records to this
seriously ill mind. As ashamed as we are of the fact that Rose
Marie continues to fail taking her medication I feel that the
obligation to intervene in hopes of saving another family from
suffering distress and torment by my cousin's ruthless actions.
I do hope this glimpse into the personal side of Rose Marie Zizzo
will help to explain the torment and torture to all who take
admonish.
Earnestly,
Mark Zizzo

Je ne sais pas trop sur quel sujet ... Sherakan bengal a déposé un message concernant ma manière douteuse d'acheter des chatons à l'étranger : il paraît que je paierais, mais une fois que je suis sûre que le chaton est dans l'avion pour arriver en France... je ferais en sorte de récupérer l'argent versé !
Oupsssss mince alors j'ai été découverte ! Je suis un petit génie de l'informatique insoupçonnée et heureusement kathy Laroche avertie bien aimablement TOUS les éleveurs étrangers de mon manège... afin que surtout personne ne me vende de chatons !
Haaaaaa comme je suis déçue... flûte... Kathy Laroche vous avez fait comment pour découvrir ce petit secret ? Allez... dites nous, il y en a plein qui veulent savoir... snif ! Parce que en ce qui vous concerne, j'ai demandé remboursement car justement AUCUN CHATON N'A ETE envoyé ! mdr !

Suite à nos plaintes à la police, les faux témoignages que kathy laroche a mis contre moi et fakir bengals ont été enlevés par complaint board.
Preuve, s'ils en fallait une supplémentaire, que les deux plaintes venaient bien d'elle!
Ce n'est pas pour autant que ses ennuis sont terminés...
Il faut que de tels actes soient sanctionnés. Le tarif est chez nous 12 000 euros d'amende. nous allons bientôt savoir quel est le tarif au Canada...

Bonjour,

Je ne suis apparemment qu'une de plus à subir les escroqueries de Kathy Laroche (Sherakan BENGAL).
De nombreuses plaintes ont été déposées contre elle...et à ce jour, j'ai donné 2000 CAD à cette personne pour rien ! Cela fait des semaines et des semaines que je demande des photos, des renseignements d'une femelle (dont je dois encore 1000 CAD... devenus 1625 CAD sans savoir ni pourquoi ni comment...) qui n'a jamais été mise sur son site... dont un des parents est inconnu et invisible sur le site également !
Le 02 mars Kathy Laroche affirme noir su rblanc à Paypal avoir envoyé le chat le jour meme (malgré un solde non réglé donc !) Mais aujourdh'ui 3 jours plus tard, me propose de la garder et de me rembourser moins les frais ! Lesquels ?
Ma seule chance dans tout ça (enfin... j'espère) c'est d'avoir payé via Paypal et qu'une réclamation est en cours d'étude.
Comment une personne comme elle n'est-elle toujours pas sanctionnée ?
Que les éleveuses qui ont déposée plainte et qui souhaite une plainte "groupée" et contact avec un avocat, n'hésitent pas à me contacter, je signe des deux mains !
Car nous avons des preuves de ce que nous avançons nous... avis aux clients ravis.

Sherakan Bengals Kathy Laroche is a very dishonest breeder! She tries to cover the fact that she is a kitten mill, by spreading lies about the good people who she has stolen money from by sending them sick kittens that have died! Kathy Laroche of Sherakan Bengals is not a good person to do business with! There are MANY complaints on this list about her! She has taken money from people and only provided kittens that are very sick and cost much money to try to save, for them to die and from terminally fatal disease. Kathy Laroche will be investigated by FBI for internet scams, as so many people will be filing compaint! We will be filing a complaint against her! She is unethical! Getting rich off of poor sick kittens is a crime! Stay away from her! Do not support her business!

Est-ce moi ou ont dirait plus une vengeance personnelle qu'une plainte?!?

J'admet que puisque je demeure dans la même ville que Mme. Laroche, il est facile de conclure que je me suis inscrit ici à sa demande, en tant que client de cette dernière.

Une plainte émise par une personne dont l'élevage a été retirer d'une des plus grande organisation d'éleveur au monde, pour moi ne vaut que très peu.

C'est pour cette raison que je viens ici pour témoigner de l'exellent service que j'ai recu de cette dame/chatterie. Mon chaton est arrivé à la maison depuis déjà près d'un an, en parfaite santé, sans aucunes maladie ou défaut. J'ai même dernièrement recommandé à un bon ami normalement alergique aux chats de faire affaire avec Mme Laroche, étant donné qu'il n'avait aucune réaction quand il venait à la maison, ce qu'il a fait. Il s'est présenté chez Sherakan Bengal en expliquant à l'éleveuse qu'il était en temps normal alergique, et s'il y avait possibilité de retour advenant d'éventuelles réactions alergique. 5 semaines plus tard, après avoir constater qu'une exposition prolongée apportais des symptômes déplaisant alergique, il a contacté Mme Laroche et cette dernière a accepté de lui rembourser sans aucune hésitation.

Si pour vous ce n'est pas du service, alors que vous faut-il de plus pour vous faire une meilleure idée de cet Éleveur?!?

Personnellement, après avoir pris connaissance du dossier, je me sens oubligé de prendre la défence de Sherakan Bengal et de crier haut et fort à l'injustice et l'impertinence de ce forum.

Respectueusement,

Michael Maltais

je vois tout juste ce forum pour la première fois aujourdh'ui,
il est désolant de voir à quel point certain éleveur mal-intentionné vont pour détruire une personne,
j'ai acheté deux chatons bengal de Sherakan je me suis rendu moi même chez Kathy cherchez mes chatons ...de plus sans prévenir...
et tout ce que j'ai a dire n'est que de bonnes choses,
Kathy est une personne honnête et extrêmement sympatique, tous ses chats vivent avec elle, c'est très propre tellement qu'on ses demande s'il ya des chats!
il n'y a aucune odeur comparativement à certaines chatteries situé dans Montreal et ses environs,
j'adore mes deux chatons ils sont gros et en excellente santé,
les personnes qui ont écrit sur ce forum l'ont fait pour simplement détruire un autre éleveur, c'est vraie que Sherakan a les plus beaux bengals du Québec et peut-être même du Canada,
elle a les plus beaux bengals que j'ai vue,
c'est évident que ce forum a été créer par simple jalousie...
pour tous ceux qui veulent me contacter ou avoir des photos de mes chatons il me fera un grand plaisir de vous répondre et j'encourage tous ceux qui ont vraiment acheter un chat de Kathy d'écrire sur ce forum

Hi Kathy,

This is Katie...

It is sad you lie so much! Since posting this complaint I have MANY breeders from all over contacting me with complaints similar to mine...that you wish to send people kittens with diarrhea, that you do not have registration rights to Rythmic Akela, and that his parents were bought from Bundas Cattery as PETS and were not to be bred! That you scammed Bundas Cattery and told them that Bundas Jay was sick and you were going to neuter him, Bundas sent you replacement of a pregnant queen. They found out later that you did not neuter Bundas Jay and that you are breeding him AND you kept the pregnant queen and some of her kittens!

You took two kittens from me, brother and sister. You paid for the male, I sent you registration papers for him. You were to send me a kitten in trade for the female sister. You send me a male kitten with one testicle and bad diarrhea, and NO registration papers!

I do not send you registration papers on the female sister...you have NOT paid for her! You owe me $2200 plus medical expenses.

Kathy, if the brother is registered then the sister is registered too. You know this. There are no "fake papers"...you simply seek to lie again.

DO NOT BUY A KITTEN FROM KATHY LAROCHE of SHERAKAN BENGALS!

If you have had a bad experience please post it here so others may see it!

NOTE THE PHOTO BELOW, ONLY ONE TESTICLE CAN BE SEEN. HE WAS NEUTERED SHORTLY AFTER THIS...

Thank you!
