I am not exactly sure how I feel about this website. I can definitely say that there are some scammers on this website, so be very careful. I think that most offers are legitimate. If you want to buy a kitten definitely ask for a FaceTime call to see the kitten before any payment. My next concern is about the health of the cats you are getting. This website should mandate health certificates to ensure basic health for every kitten. Maybe a health certificate from assigned vets -everywhere ( for every kitty)- that can be verified and contacted if needed by the buyer. A lot of beautiful cats are imported and are not genetically tested, so you can end up with a cat with cardiomyopathy for example. This can be passed down if studs and queens are not tested genetically, especially in certain breeds. I got 2 Devon Rex kittens through this website. One went smoothly, and the person selling them really seemed to care about her cats’ wellbeing. The other cat was flown from the Ukraine and I got to see it on FaceTime, then I payed. Health guaranteed!!! The kitten arrived sick and I was unsuccessful in keeping him separate from my other 3 kitties I already had. I had very young kids at the time, so it was just not possible. He had a respiratory infection, most probably herpes virus. Eventually all, but one, got the virus and they started having chronic runny eyes. My adopted Siamese got it the worst as he was an adult and was the only one not up to date on yearly vaccines. I think if I would have vaccinated him he would have handled the virus better. Anyway, I was very angry about getting a sick kitty! And what was I going to do? Send him back? A cat is not an object that you can just pack up and return! I sent a message to the seller that I wanted a refund for vet bills, at least. No response. I knew at that moment that this person only cared about money and not the wellbeing of the cats!!! So sad, but not surprising. Fast forward, 2 years later, the kitten from the Ukraine, the one with whom I had the strongest bond got diagnosed with severe hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and kidney failure. It was very sudden and I had no idea how sick he was. He had a necropsy because vet thought he might have FIP, but results came back negative. Results showed an inflamed liver and lesions in kidneys. My vet did not know what caused the damage as common viruses were ruled out. He told me that this kitty was a genetic wreck and advised me to not get any cats from that same breeder. I am sharing this story, so you understand the risks. Last thing I want to say is that be mindful when you get a pet. Pets can live for a long time and it is your responsibility to care for that life. Think ten times and look at every angle (financial, are you too busy, do you work full time, are you ok with fur everywhere, vomit on the rugs, poop on the floor, furniture destroyed from scratching, have a plan for vacation, are you ok medicating every day if needed, and many more) before buying a pet. I send love to all cat lovers who truly care about these beautiful, loving, intelligent creatures.
