If you read the emails that went back and forth below.... starting from bottom to top....she admits she has been making untruthful statements and agrees to fix them and stop. She not only lied but continued. Always keep your emails from people like this. She did say that her mom would take the kittens if there was a problem but what I said to her was: That her mom already had a cat for several years and if there was a problem with the cats getting along...I was sure she would not part with her own cat. I asked her very nicely to see how things went with one kitty first but being the unreasonable person she is.... she did not want to hear of it. Being that I am the breeder and my first priority is to see that my kitties are placed in forever homes. If I were trying to steal her money I would have cashed her shipping check, which I never did because I knew she had a refund coming. I have never stolen or kept anyone's money and the small amount she was carrying on about was only not sent immediately was due to her harassing behavior. I did send one check, which they said they never got and then they wanted it sent paypal to some production company paypal acct. All I asked was for them to do a paypal acct. in their own name....they refused. As you can read below this was cleared up and if it had not been for her own BAD behavior.... horribly harassing...calling for hours starting at 4:30am...only to mention one of many things this lady did.... she would have had her money so much faster. After all it was only $375.... which I had no problem coming up with. I have job. I do not make my living through cat breeding.

Although it was completely unprofessional of her to not send the 2nd kitten without informing me before I went to the airport to pick them up , that was not my main issue. And by the way,I disclosed to her that I lived in an apartment four months earlier when I first started talking to her, and we also had an agreement that if it didn't work out, I would return both kittens or my mother would take them. She agreed to this. But that is beside the point. I also have in writing her admitting that she wanted to keep the one kitten for herself. That was the real reason, she was not concerned about them. My issue with her is that it took her 10 months to refund my money. She made us jump through hoops, and told lie after lie as to why the money was not returned. It took reporting her to the Bureau of Consumer Affairs in Pittsburgh to get her to pay the money she owed. Feel free to call the Bureau of Consumer Protection in Pittsburgh at: 412-565-5135 and ask them about this. The case ID # is C007758-2004.

This matter has been resolved and this woman not only posted here but other places using other people's names. It is nice to have a place like this to take real complaints but the bad thing about it is that people can use different emails and names and slander good breeders. I chose not to sell her the 2nd kitten because she disclosed she was living in an apartment and was worried about the noise kittens would make for she had difficult neighbors below her. I asked her very nicely to consider the one pet and see how it went. She was not open to that so I did what I felt necessary to ensure my kittens were not going to end up homeless.
