Complaint Review: Cazpurr Bengals

This bengal cat breeder who uses many names has been breeding bengals for many years.  It is clear that she breeds very sick cats.  I recieved a cat from Linda Johnson of Cazpurr Bengal Cats, who is now calling herself Diann Johnson or Linda Diann Johnson. I bought a little bengal boy that I called Dingo.  

First I saw that she has some pretty cats on her web site.  I was so taken by the pretty cats that I ignored a few online negative reports about Linda Diann Johnson's cat breeding, and her ethics.  That was a big mistake.  I bought an 8 week old male kitten (Dingo) from her in February 2015.  I later found out that legitimate bengal breeders do not sell cats so young. I signed a contract and paid Linda/Diann cash but other than that i received no papers, no veterinarian recods and nothing else at all. Not even a receipt 

I recieved my kitten who I called Dingo when he was about 8 weeks old. I came to Linda's house in Sun City (Ventana Lakes) to get the kitten. At this time she was calling herself Diann johnson. Linda/Diann did not vaccinate the kitten she said she just didn't have time. The first time I picked Dingo up he hissed at me, and Linda or Diann quickly said, "You just keep picking him up and he will get used to it."  I also noticed she had several beautiful bengals in small cages and I asked her about it. She said, "Oh they fight so they have to be caged."  I thought it was a sad life for a cat.  

I bought my cat from her in Sun City Arizona. I paid Linda in cash $1200 (she had my $300 deposit already) Diann Johnson. might be breeding illegally, because she kept looking out the windows when I was getting ready to leave. I could see one of her neighbors was in his driveway, and Linda/Diann asked me to "just wait a minute." I had Dingo in a cat carrier and she went into her hallway and put a big towell over the carrier she told me, "this will help him feel safe." She walked me to my car. 

So I took Dingo home and he immediately threw up. He was petrified of me and he hissed whenever I reached for him. I fed him and shortly after he had terrible watery diarrhea. I tried to sit with him most of the night but he seemd to be so intensely afraid of me. The next morning I found more vomit and very foul smelling diarrhea.  I paid $1500 for this kitten and it was not even vaccinated, and it was nearly feral and sick! I decided to call Linda because I wanted to return the cat or pick a different one out, but she said, "...sorry all sales are final."  I started to tell her about my problems and she said she needed to talk to her husband Mark about it.  She promised to call me back.

Linda/Diann never called me back and she never took my calls again. I am ashamed to say I could not turn the kitten around and I eneded up giving it to my sister. My sister also struggled to get the kitten to be tame. My sister said she cannot ever touch the cat. I feel very ripped off!  

Do not ever buy a cat from this shady woman.
