Furrbcats Barbara Lafferty and Roger Lafferty Sold me two sick kittens with chronic diarrhea and her Vet Dr. Hitesman provided her with health certificate that looks suspect. Cape Coral, Florida
I purchased two white persian kittens, one with blue eyes and the other with copper eyes. They came to me via airplane from Florida and they were sitting in loose stool on the blanket, and on their feet, and tails. I thought at first that it was just the boy who had diarrhea, but they (girl and boy) both have chronic diarrhea since I picked them up almost two months now. I took them to the Veterinarian and they took antibiotics and prescribed diet with on change. They are also incontinent of loose stools, which is a constant mess as well as unsanitary. Barbara Lafferty says that they did not have diarrhea before they left her and that it was the stress of the flight or something the injested. I KNOW that is not true. Before she was aware, I called the Vet where she took the kittens and the staff told me that no stool samples were done then after Barbara told me that they were done the staff changed the story and said they were done and normal. I know that her Vet is working with her to falsefy health certificates for the sale of sick kittens. She told me I could send them back so that her Vet can quarantine them and check them out to see what happened and placing the blame elsewhere, therefore justifying not giving me my money $1500.00 back or any other compensation. I have read other complaints and spoke to another buyer who also has a very sick cat. Now I have two sick filthy thin kittens with chronic diarrhea experiencing a lot of distress that you cant even pick up because they will poop on you also.

We have purchased multiple beautiful healthy kittens from Barbara Lafferty of Furrb cats, also known as Furr-b cats cattery over the past 5 years! They are our very loving furry kids and we have never had any issues with Barbara or her kittens! Barbara is the most honest, reputable and proper breeder you can ask for, especially in comparison to other breeders out there!
Her kittens always come in a prestine coat condition, and loving personalities, as well an official health certificates and vaccinations/ and appropritate testing! I have visited her home as well multiple times, and its always very clean and fresh, and shes very welcoming and sweet, just like her kitties!
I have met a few other of her kitties as well, and they were in excellent health and had gorgeous huge blue eyes and very healthy beautiful coats! Barbara has been working with her amazing lines for many years and she has been breeding champion and grand champions and i feel very blessed and honered to have adopted our furry babies from her!
Her cats look in real life just like they do in their photos! Feel free to reach out to me and i can show you beautiful amazing babies we got from her!
Im very sorry you had issues with your cats, it doest sound to me like your veterinarian has properly treated them after they developed upset tummy with the new environment and traveling. i would seek a different vet immediately. it is very common for any cats, especially persian kittens to develop stress related diarhea. It also sounds like breeder tried to work something out with you but you didnt want to find a compromise.
