Complaint Review: Weepurrs Cattery - Phyllis Mikesell

I too purchased a kitten from her in June of 2005 . my story is so similar to some of these others that it sickens me to think of how many cats have died or been abused in her care .

On the way home after picking her up I noticed some sores on her right shank .I called Phyliss the next day and was told they were bite wounds from the adult males . 2 days after we picked her up she started sneezing like crazy and her eyes started getting really gunky . at this point I took her to our vet who I have been using for more then 15 years. yep you guessed it. sever upper respiratory infection . after being given drops and antibiotics for the infection he sent us home . 3 days later her left eye started to turn black  , not just the pupil but her beautiful blue eye! so off to the vet we go again . this time he can't help us he needs to send us to a cat OPTOMOLGIST! Hello do you have any idea how expensive they are! . And so after numerous tests and poking and prodding , it is determined that my little girl has feline Herpies in her eyes ! Which as I'm sure you all know is a disease that will never go away! Luckily because of non Ragdoll personality (she doesn't like anyone but my daughter) My other cats have not caught it.  BUt after paying over $1500.00 to have her treated , yes I contacted Phyliss and was told that I should have called her as she has the meds to treat this!! Hello Phyliss you are not a vet!! you have  no business treating these animals . and just a little tidbit of info for the rest of you . When I called the Humane Society , they already knew her address !! Infact they had an open report on her at the time! Through my research on her after words I found out that she had been shutdown a few times already . What I'd like to see is her shutdown permanently so that no more poor cats to have go through this!

I spoke to a few breeders after who couldn't say anything before I bought her because she has lawsuits against people for slander , Well Phyliss . it isn't slander if it's TRUE!!

My Kitty who is now 5 years old , has lost all her front teeth top and bottom  and is losing more as time goes by.My vets diagnosis , Bad Genetics  , and generally just bad breeding . GO figure!

Do not buy from this breeder ever!
