Back in March of this year, I contacted Elise about getting on her Wait-list for a kitten. While I was trying to get my check to her, she was all about communication and answering my emails. As soon as she got my check and cashed it, emails have gone answered and her voice mail is not receiving anymore messages! I have been calling for months now and can't get through. I finally contacted the "sister" website on her website and spoke to Melissa (301-330-4360). Melissa, claiming to be a friend, has informed me that she has spoken other people (some who even cried) who are looking for Elise also and that she has taken their money and not contacting them back. She is the one that told me about pending lawsuits against this company. If even her FRIENDS know what kind of a person she is, why is she still allowed to STEAL peoples hard earned money?!?!?!? If anyone knows of a pending law suit, could you PLEASE let me know!!

Dcdolls- Elise favin-Cadeaudolls

#10Consumer Comment

Wed, January 13, 2010


I just have a comment as I am a Ragdoll cat owner in the MD area. Who purchased from a small cattery that breeds only a few cats a year. Even if Cadeaudolls is a real breeder not breeding for Elise and selling for her I see an important point here, there is more to look at here whether Melissa is Sorry or not about her friends practices. Did anyone see her site? It has MANY kittens for sale looks like a shelter after she reads this she may take some off just like now the DCDOLLSRAGDOLLS.COM SITE is gone and no longer goes to Cadeaudolls which is strange.

A 'GOOD" breeder not breeding for loads of money would only breed two or three female and not have 20 + kittens to sell off. Melissa does in fact work like Elise because BOTH breeders always have had many many kittens to sell on both her site and the Dcdolls site. I would not trust them.. how can anyone be sure that 20+ kittens are healthy?? especially when Melissa is juggling dogs and dog breeding... has many breeding cats and perhaps a job outside breeding? YOU CANT and it makes me sick to see this kitten mill of a website.

I filed the initial report on Rip Off against Elise

I completely disagree with you that by being friends with someone differientiates you from how they conduct their business practices.  Generally speaking wealthy people associate with wealthy people, just as poor-poor, fat-fat, CROOKS-CROOKS, ETC ETC. You know good and well the way the both of your businesses is run.  When I originally began researching after our RIP-OFF of deposit money for a kitten that supposedly DIED, and we had no option of another kitten as OUR kitten was dead!!  I tried calling you several times as well...  You were in fact listed as partners!!  We have not given up and have followed all of the correct channels and finally there is enough people coming forward with problems to actually do something.  I have had a very busy schedule and am ready now to pursue Justice.... However that may come..

Final Commentary

#10General Comment

Fri, November 27, 2009

If what all of you say is true, than I am of course sorry that this has happened to you.  However, I continue to object to being placed "on the hot seat" when in fact I was not ever involved with any of you.  I have placed wonderful pets with many families.  I have the reputation of being kind, responsible, and caring - with my kitten and puppy buyers - as well as with my clients. But, you were not my clients - you decided to buy from DC Dolls.  Who my friends are should have nothing to do with you or with your consumer problems.   I have many friends, and my being friends with them has absolutely nothing to do with how they handle their private transactions with others.  It saddens me to see this commentary going on here, and I wish you all the best of luck.

Making it CLEAR for Melissa

#10Author of original report

Mon, November 16, 2009

I just want to make something clear to Melissa and other readers...

First of all Melissa...I did NOT verbally attack you.  Please get THAT clear from the very beginning!!  Since I could not get ANY response from Elise, I called YOUR number (which BY THE WAY) is LISTED on Elise's webpage.  If you don't want your information to be put out there....distance yourself from her ASAP!!  Second...I have stated nothing bad or defamatory about you.  You, were in fact, very helpful AND understanding...or so I thought...during our conversation!! I simply reiterated what was said during that phone conversation.  You ask what kind of person does that?!?  The kind who won't lay down and let your "FRIEND" rip her and other people off!

There are a lot of people, who simply wanted a kitten, that were ripped off by Elise.  And as it stands, there might not be any compensation for the money that we have given her. What kind of person can do THAT and still sleep at night?! Tell me that!!

Comment about both catteries mentioned

#10Consumer Comment

Mon, November 16, 2009

I want to make a comment about both catteries. Anyone who even purchased breeding cats from her must be nuts. Knowing what lies she has told and how she treated her cats. Lies about her cats health and wont allow visitors due to her sickly cats. She has hurt many people and it would not be fair if Melissa of Cadeau dolls was backing up Elise or is still her friend because anybody who is will be dragged down. Hopefully Melissa did not know all this and wants better for herself, she should be more then willing to help the people who were cheated by Elise not come on here and put them down.

 
A friend of mine went to Elise and said the home smelled of death and this woman lied on her website and said she scanned all her breeding cats for HCM which is a heart disease. people who went there would know of her sickly smelling home and just not purchase breeders. No cattery smells like roses but form what I know it was dreadful and not only this she has a few sick cats. If I were Melissa if she is not involved, I would get far away from her if she wants any kind of good reputation which will need lots of growing to do if she started out with Elise as her mentor. I wish her luck. Again this is just a comment to just be careful. I heard nothing bad about Cadeau Ragdolls just DCdolls.

I would not mind my number given if I was not involved in this I would want people to know I am not associated with Elise not seemingly out to help her customers that she stole from, maybe your mad now that your friendship is over because you spilled the beans on her to the callers or that both your scams did not work out, maybe you both are splitting the stolen money that was taken in deposits just maybe. 
 
I find it odd that your website has lots of her cats and looks a lot like her site and even her wording, somehow I think your website is selling kittens for Elise and your just doing her a favor maybe there's not even any cats in your home and the site is for her, perhaps your selling the kittens that had deposits from the people that were ripped off even not any of this its just not understanable that you would get this angry at someone for posting your number I mean isn't your number on yoru website for kittens to sell? I think theres more to this.

To Anonymous,

I am sorry that you had a bad dealing with DCDOLLS.  However, I am not nor will I ever be impressed with anyone who hides behind the name "anonymous".  My complaint was simple.  I am not DCDolls - that would be Elise Favin.  It was simply uncalled for to post my phone number, I wish I could post yours as well and see how much you like it.

Comment to Melissa's posting about Elise Favin

#10Consumer Suggestion

Melissa I don't know you but I know Elise. You call yourself Elise's friend? that is scare in itself. After what she has done to others don't you worry that your cattery is in jeopardy? If Elise truly valued your friendship she would not rip people off knowing you are both a team in this you will be called so its not the customers fault here its all on Elise Favin. I see nothing wrong with Gloria's posting it says nothing bad about you, maybe Elise is very mad if in fact you did tell others about her practices but I think you just opened up a can of worms because it looks a bit like you are taking up for Elise. I also know that you are or were very close to Elise living a block or so down and sharing your breeding Dogs for several years and now sharing Ragdoll cattery responsibilities. I also was in FACT another one treated terrible from this breeder and suspected she was a rip off before she even started breeding cats. It also states shes and outstanding cattery on her website and it even shows that she slanders other breeders in the area of Maryland by saying to watch there grammor errors LOL and only buy from certain breeders the grammar part in itself is funny when she has much more to worry about then spelling.

I just wanted to say what my experience with her to tell others its most likely true because I dealt with her and anyone who is against the people she has treated badly must be in on Elise's little games. If Elise wants to avoid these problems she should stop taking money like she still continues to do so.

L. Gloria not Honest

#10Consumer Comment

Fri, July 17, 2009

Although I have nothing to do with this transaction or this person, L. Gloria has posted my name and my phone number - which is not appreciated. Regardless of her complaint and problem with the person cited - I think it is important to note that she called my home and left voicemail POSING as a puppy buyer. As soon as I returned the call - she started verbally attacking me about a kitten. It took me a few minutes to get her to understand that I was not the person that she thought she was calling. I in fact have nothing to do with this woman. Our only common link is that we both know my friend. She misrepresented herself on my voicemail - what kind of person does that? These things that she claims to have heard from me were in fact her own accusations. I told her that I would relay the message to my friend and that was all that I could do. I do not appreciate being dragged into your drama L. Gloria. Do not put words in my mouth!
