Alopecia Sphynx Cattery - Elizabeth Goebel did not hold up to our agreement that she would replace kittens I sent her, and refuses to pay for them or return them. Kingsport, Tennessee 37660 Kingsport Tennessee
Elizabeth Goebel of Alopecia Sphynx Cattery, contacted me in regards to a male Sphynx that I was placing. She didn't want to buy him but she was willing to send me her odd eyed male, to replace him with. She said that he was proven, and she had cats at the time that were pregnant from him. After we had discussed and decided to do the trade, before shipping him, she contacted me again and asked if I had any females that I would be willing to trade to her.
The only ones I have were two 6 month old females that I was planning to keep for my own breeding program, but I had to consider this because I needed some new bloodlines. She said if I would send them with the male, she would send me two kittens out of her next litter, which were due within a couple of weeks. I was a little hesitant, especially about sending 3 cats and not having the replacements readily available but she seemed like she was an honest person, so I agreed to send all three to her.
I contacted Elizabeth about a month later to see how the kittens were doing. She finely got aback to me after several attempts but said that she had lost the litter, but had 5 litters due the next month. I waited and contact her the next month, but now she had deposits she had to fill first. By this time just a little over two months had gone by and she had a litter out of one of the KITTENS that I had sent her. This would have put the mother at only 8 months of age. I personally find it appalling that she would breed a kitten at 6 months of age.
After adding Romeo to my website, I have numerous breeders contact me saying they knew the breeders personally that bred this odd eyed male, and that he is infertile, and that is why Elizabeth wanted to place him. After a few months and a lot of mating, I did finely get a litter of kittens out of the odd eyed male she sent me, but obviously there is a fertility problem I was not made aware of.
Now, several months later, and several litters later for Elizabeth, I still have no kittens. I have requested she send me back the two cats she has of mine but she refuses.
If I had known her reputation, It would have saved me much trouble... Lesson learned, but I am hoping that me adding my complaint will help others come forward and file complaints as I know there are many MANY more. I have tried numerous times to get her to settle up on her end with no success, she just threatens to no answer my emails any longer, and also threatens to sue me for harassment. This lady prays on others, and should be stopped permanently!"
