Complaint Review: Dr. J's Perfect Ragdolls Cattery

Date: 25th of Aug, 2011 by Ragdoll3
We just purchased 2 boy ragdolls from her. I'm very worried! We lost one at 3 yrs of age from hcm 6 yrs ago. I'm so sorry and know exactly how you feel. I was told the same thing. Our kittens are 8 weeks and very small especially one. Is she doing anything about this?

Who were the parents of your sweet kitty? Was it a male? I've lost one also from HCM at age 3! It's devastating

My Leo was a male kitty. His parents were Butter and Louis from Wisconsin. Dr. Jen says that she doesn't have either one of them any more. Dr. Jen offered me 1/2 off of a kitten or a free adult ( since he died after his 12 month warrante) but I decided not to get another cat from her. I would get your kittens genetically tested for the identified gene that causes the HCM. (MYBPC3) I sent a blood sample to the north Carolina genetics lab to get Leo's blood tested. http://www.cvm.ncsu.edu/vhc/csds/vcgl/index.html If his blood comes back +/+ I will be asking for my money back. I have heard from others that she has had legal trouble regarding her cats as well. To be a veterinarian and breeder and assure a customer that the genetic test is "worthless" is morally and ethically wrong. My hope is that with the results I obtain from the blood test and the emails and information I have she won't be allowed to continue to breed cats with predisposed HCM and this wont happen to others.

I also had a bad experience with "Dr" J. If she really is a vet, then she is a bad vet. But honestly I don't even trust her enough to think she is a vet.

I checked her license and she is an actual vet. Although the emergency clinic where she works has gotten lots of bad reviews.

He Beans. I sent a message to you about Dr. J. Not sure if you got it because I've never used this site before. I think you pick up your message on the right side of the page where it says "incoming." Please let me know if the message didnt work. I'd like to speak with you more about your experience with DR. J. I just got a kitten from her and I'm worried about his health. THanks.
