Dionna Harrell is letting you know really what happened AGAIN! I see Teresa is up to no good again! You are in my Prayers. This is Dionna Harrell and I want to set this whole story straight. The TRUTH! I have never sold a cat to Hugh Hefner's ex-girlfriend Holly Madison. Give me a break. Do you really think that Holly Madison would be on here posting all this psychotic garbage about my cats! Holly Madison has enough money to hire a Lawyer to come after me if this were true. I have had several adopting families come to my home to either pickup or visit with their new baby. I have nothing to hide and have references to prove it. Feel free to contact me and I can provide you with 'real' references. The person posting all this garbage is really Teresa Aleksandrov out of Ypsilanti Michigan. Here is the real story. I bought a Sphynx off of Cristi Carpenter back about 2008. They (Teresa Aleksandrov and Cristi Carpenter) STOLE Amanda Carpenters Sphynx cats from her. They bred the cats and were selling off all the babies. Amanda Carpenter contacted me as soon as she heard about the selling of the STOLEN kittens. I had already bought the sphynx kitten and my husband was there in Ypsilanti Michigan picking him up. Amanda Carpenter told me they were scamming me and all registration papers were all FAKE. Conveniently the papers were somehow lost from Cristi's house to Teresa's place of business. I contacted my husband and he said Teresa was on the phone yelling and arguing with Amanda about the kittens. My husband was very confused as he was just picking up a kitten that I had purchased. Everything was supposed to be there and ready when he got there. I finally got in touch with Cristi Carpenter and she said her Aunt Teresa lost all the papers. Cristi said she had copies and would send them out right away. Well 2 more months go by and nothing. Cristi goes as far as to put her Grandmother on the phone and tell me what a liar Amanda Carpenter is. I did not understand this because I did not buy the cat from Amanda Carpenter. I bought the cat from Cristi Carpenter. Teresa got involved because Cristi ran my Credit Card through her Credit Card machine. So when I contacted my credit card company to cancel the transaction because I never received his papers it went back on Teresa Aleksandrov. So this is how Teresa got involved. I had never spoke to Teresa until I took my money back for being scammed out of TICA papers. Teresa filed a claim in her state against me for the full amount. I showed up 3 times to court and it was a 6 hour drive each way. I did not mind it because I don't take getting ripped off lightly as no one would I would think. So after 3 months of arguing in court the Judge made his final decision because of 2 different sets of false papers on the cat. Teresa filed out one set then sent them to me, then Cristi did a set not knowing Teresa filed out a fake set already. This is when I filed the claim with my credit card company. I had to pay $700.00 to Teresa and it was all settled. We guess what. Teresa cannot seem to let it go. Teresa is almost 60 yrs old believe it or not. Cristi Carpenter and Teresa Aleksandrov have threatened to burn down my home with my 3 children in it. They have threatened me with their witch craft. They have continued to harass me to no end. I can only assume they both do not have anything better to do with their lives than think about me and my Sphynx cats/kittens 24/7. I'm just one of those people who got scammed and did't sit back and let it go. So this is what I get but it was worth it. Maybe it will make Teresa Aleksandrov and Cristi Carpenter think twice before ripping off another person again. Teresa has been looking me up everyday on the Internet. She claims she knows my life history. I do work in Hospice and do take care of dying people. She continues to make rude comments about me on Rip Off Report. If you want to contact me feel free to do so. I am not a rude or nasty person and not a very large woman as she claims. I do and will get nasty if you rip me off or try and hurt my family but I think that is how 'most' of us are with the ones we love. Teresa will continue to do this everyday until she can no longer function. This woman really needs people praying for her so she can finally move on. She is a very hateful, angry, jealous, manipulative, self destructive and just plan unhappy person I have ever met! I have met alot of people unhappy people in the medical field and she takes the cake. So don't be afraid to call or email me I will be happy to explain this mess to you. I have never sold a sick sphynx kitten to anyone. I did have one case where I sold a Sphynx kitten to a 19 yr old girl in Texas. Her mother bought the kitten for her. I took the kitten to the vet for a physical and a health certificate to fly. He went out to Texas and died within 10 days of being there. I was in contact with the family the whole time several times a day. I had advised them several times how to take care of the kitten but the girl refused to do so. The girl had him out the very next day going from house to house showing him off. I have a contract for this reason. He was to be quarantined for 72 hrs after she received him. Well 3 days of toting him from house showing him off to her friends and him not eating is what made him sick. I drove to Arkansas ( 10 hour drive one way) to get him to try and save him. I then had to drive another 2 hours farther to find a emergency vet to put him to sleep. He was barely breathing and the blood had started settling in his back from dying. I put him to sleep and brought him home and had him cremated. I did take pictures of him for this reason because Teresa contacted the girl and the story has been twisted to Teresa's liking as usual. The kitten had every test ran possible and the vet found nothing. I have all the paper work and will share it with you if you would like(about 20 pages). I spoke to the girl's mother several times and finally she broke down and told me his bones were showing. He had not been eating at all. He died of starvation. We had him for 5 months and she had him 10 days and he died. I don't know many breeders who would drive 10 hours ONE WAY to try and save one of their kittens. I'm lucky enough to have a husband that stands behind me and what I believe in is right. My husband took the day off work to keep the 2 youngest children while myself and our oldest daughter drove the long drive to Arkansas to get our baby back. I did not end up replacing the kitten due to neglect. I would NOT place another one of my babies in their hands ever again! As for Heff my little boy I bought from Elizabeth Largent in Texas he did die of HCM. He is NOT out of my cattery and did not get HCM from my cats. YOUR CATS CANNOT CATCH HCM Teresa! He is out of Movie Land Floyd Skyshasphynx and is owned by Elizabeth Largent in Texas. I got him at 3 months of age and he died 3 weeks later. I have a handwritten letter as well as typed letter from my Doctor who treats all of my animals. He wrote the letter to Elizabeth Largent if anyone wants to see it you are more than welcome. The Doctor also gave Elizabeth his personal cell phone for her to call him and she never did. Those are the 2 kittens that have died and only one was mine and was out of my control. So Teresa, when people ask to see your proof, and you don't have any because I wouldn't trust you with a pet rock. And I would NEVER, EVER put one of my precious animals in your hands! Your defense of 'I don't know you and I'm not just going to send over my vet records to someone I don't know' will eventually wear thin. Come up with something better than that - come on. That's why people post on here to provide proof right? To the people who have adopted from me Thank you for posting on here but be very careful in putting your full name. You may run the risk of having Teresa stalk you next - so beware. The things Teresa is posting on here are really the things SHE has done to me and others. She is a very angry person and I would be very upset if she were to start attacking you and your family because you came to my defense. So please be very careful when dealing with Teresa Aleksandrov. Dionna Harrell Avasa Sphynx Greenwood, Indiana Please call or email me with any questions. God Bless

PS I had nothing to do with filling these Ripoff complaints. I have figured out who the real person is by using clues I found in the rebuttals. Dionna is wrong. I didn't do it. She needs to dig through her list of the people she has wronged to find who is really behind these and end her obsession with hating me for forcing her in a court of law to pay for the kitten she got from me.

Dionna Harrell has posted on this website under five different aliases that I've counted so far. It's interesting that I supposedly apologized to her on one of the rebuttals listed here but the author is actually Sarah Madison. Dionna Harrell of Avasasphynx in Greenwood, Indiana is a malicious liar and I'm filling a complaint with the FBI Internet Fraud Investigation Department. What she said about me and my family are lies and I will see she is punished to the full extent of the law. Teresa Aleksandrov

Another thing is anyone anywhere making up a "fake" email and a "fake" name can post to this site and other sites. Ripoff does not Verify any information. Its really pathetic that people get on here and tell so many lies! Dionna Harrell Avasa Sphynx Greenwood, Indiana Please call or email me with any questions. God Bless

This is Dionna Harrell and I want to set this whole story straight. The TRUTH! I have never sold a cat to Hue Hefner's ex-girlfriend Holly Madison. Give me a break. Do you really think that Holly Madison would be on here posting all this psychotic garbage about my cats! Holly Madison has enough money to hire a Lawyer to come after me if this were true. I have had several adopting families come to my home to either pickup or visit with their new baby. I have nothing to hide and have references to prove it. Feel free to contact me and I can provide you with "real" references. The person posting all this Garbage is really Teresa Aleksandrov out of Ypsilanti Michigan. Here is the real story. I bought a Sphynx off of Cristi Carpenter back about 2008. They ( Teresa Aleksandrov and Cristi Carpenter) STOLE Amanda Carpenters Sphynx cats from her. They bred the cats and were selling off all the babies. Amanda Carpenter contacted me as soon as she heard about the selling of the STOLEN kittens. I had already bought the sphynx kitten and my husband was there in Ypsilanti Michigan picking him up. Amanda Carpenter told me they were scamming me and all registration papers were all FAKE. Conveniently the papers were somehow lost from Cristi's house to Teresa's place of business. I contacted my husband and he said Teresa was on the phone yelling and arguing with Amanda about the kittens. My husband was very confused as he was just picking up a kitten that I had purchased. Everything was supposed to be there and ready when he got there. I finally got ahold of Cristi Carpenter and she said her Aunt Teresa lost all the papers. Cristi said she had copies and would send them out right away. Well 2 more months go by and nothing. Cristi goes as far as to put her Grandmother on the phone and tell me what a liar Amanda Carpenter is. I did not understand this because I did't buy the cat from Amanda Carpenter. I bought the cat from Cristi Carpenter. Teresa got involved because Cristi ran my Credit Card through her Credit Card machine. So when I contacted my credit card company to cancel the transaction because I never received his papers it went back on Teresa Aleksandrov. So this is how Teresa got involved. I had never spoke to Teresa until I took my money back for being scammed out of TICA papers. Teresa filed a claim in her state against me for the full amount. I showed up 3 times to court and it was a 6 hour drive each way. I did not mind it because I don't take getting ripped off lightly as no one would I would think. So after 3 months of arguing in court the Judge made his final decision because of 2 different sets of false papers on the cat. Teresa filed out one set then sent them to me then Cristi did a set not knowing Teresa filed out a fake set already. This is when I filed the claim with my credit card company. I had to pay $700.00 to Teresa and it was all settled. We guess what. Teresa cannot seem to let it go. Teresa is almost 60 yrs old believe it or not. Cristi Carpenter and Teresa Aleksandrov have threatened to burn down my home with my 3 children in it. They have threatened me with their witch craft. They have continued to harass me to no end. I can only assume they both do not have anything better to do with their lives than think about me and my Sphynx cats/kittens 24/7. I'm just one of those people who got scammed and did't sit back and let it go. So this is what I get but it was worth it. Maybe it will make Teresa Aleksandrov and Cristi Carpenter think twice before ripping off another person again. Teresa has been looking me up everyday on the Internet. She claims she knows my life history. I do work in Hospice and do take care of dying people. She continues to make rude comments about me on Rip Off Report. If you want to contact me feel free to do so. I am not a rude or nasty person and not a very large woman as she claims. I do and will get nasty if you rip me off or try and hurt my family but I think that is how "most" of us are with the ones we love. Teresa will continue to do this everyday until she can no longer function. This woman really needs people praying for her so she can finally move on. She is a very hateful, angry, jealous, manipulative, self destructive and just plan unhappy person I have ever met! I have met alot of people unhappy people in the medical field and she takes the cake. So don't be afraid to call or email me I will be happy to explain this mess to you. I have never sold a sick sphynx kitten to anyone. I did have one case where I sold a Sphynx kitten to a 19 yr old girl in Texas. Her mother bought the kitten for her. I took the kitten to the vet for a physical and a health certificate to fly. He went out to Texas and died within 10 days of being there. I was in contact with the family the whole time several times a day. I had advised them several times how to take care of the kitten but the girl refused to do so. The girl had him out the very next day going from house to house showing him off. I have a contract for this reason. He was to be quarantined for 72 hrs after she received him. Well 3 days of toting him from house showing him off to her friends and him not eating is what made him sick. I drove to Arkansas ( 10 hour drive one way) to get him to try and save him. I then had to drive another 2 hours farther to find a emergency vet to put him to sleep. He was barely breathing and the blood had started settling in his back from dying. I put him to sleep and brought him home and had him creamated. I did take pictures of him for this reason because Teresa contacted the girl and the story has been twisted to Teresa's liking as usual. The kitten had every test ran possible and the vet found nothing. I have all the paper work and will share it with you if you would like(about 20 pages). I spoke to the girls mother several times and finally she broke down and told me his bones were showing. He had not been eating at all. He died of starvation. We had him for 5 months and she had him 10 days and he died. I don't know many breeders who would drive 10 hours ONE WAY to try and save one of their kittens. I'm lucky enough to have a husband that stands behind me and what I believe in is right. My husband took the day off work to keep the 2 youngest children while myself and our oldest daughter drove the long drive to Arkansas to get our baby back. I did not end up replacing the kitten due to neglect. I would NOT place another one of my babies in their hands ever again! As for Heff my little boy I bought from Elizabeth Largent in Texas he did die of HCM. He is NOT out of my cattery and did not get HCM from my cats. YOUR CATS CANNOT CATCH HCM Teresa! He is out of Movie Land Floyd Skyshasphynx and is owned by Elizabeth Largent in Texas. I got him at 3 months of age and he died 3 weeks later. I have a handwritten letter as well as typed letter from my Doctor who treats all of my animals. He wrote the letter to Elizabeth Largent if anyone wants to see it you are more than welcome. The Doctor also gave Elizabeth his personal cell phone for her to call him and she never did. Those are the 2 kittens that have died and only one was mine and was out of my control. So Teresa when everyone asks to see your proof and you don't have any because I have NEVER and will NEVER put one of my precious animals in your hands, you get all defensive and say "I don't know you" I'm not just going to send over my vet records. Come on. That's why people post on here to provide proof right? To the people who have adopted from me Thank you for posting on here but be very careful as putting your full name. Teresa will probably try to contact you and will harass you to know end. The things Teresa is posting on here is really the things she has done to me and other people.

This is the email addres you can send it to, it has to be electronic to be emailed to the breeders group. icharmony4us at gmail dot com. Your personal information will not be on the cat's HCM report ( you would know that if you have ever scanned your cat and have the actual report). You can black out your address and such but I am sure the breeder already has that information if you received 2 cats from them. You seem to try to counter attach instead of sticking to the facts. Makes this information seem kind of fake.

I am glad a Madison out there had luck with Dionna. Her husband left her at one point due to her lies & selling her underwear on hoobly. I have a Healthy sphynx from Alopecia Sphynx in TN. Elizabeth told that all of the breeders hate Dionna for she gives them a bad name. She trys to stir s**t amoung them but most breeders do not think of Dionna as a breeder but a kitten mill. Good luck & hope you never had a problem for if you do Dionna will come after you & she is a very large woman.

This is to every one who reads these ridiculous reports. I have bought 4 Sphynx kittens from Dionna Harrell of Avasa Sphynx. I did not buy them all at once it was 2 at a time. I am from Canada and did receive all 4 HEALTHY sphynx kittens that I purchased from Dionna. I have NEVER had any problems with my Sphynx and all are healthy, happy and very socialized when they arrived to me . Dionna was there for me whenever I had tons of questions for her. She is a very nice person and very helpful. I have tried to email the people who have posted the rude remarks and lies about her on here and I have NEVER received a reply back from them. It is because they are all LIES! Most of the reports are misspelled and don't even spell her name or cattery right. I know if I spend money for an animal and sign a contract I should at least know who sold me the kitten and know the correct spelling right? I'm posting this so people will do their homework and email the people who post on here. Ask to see their contracts that are signed by Dionna Harrell of Avasa Sphynx. Ask to see all vets records they claim to have gotten from the sick kittens. Also contact Dionna Harrell as I'm sure she will reassure you that these people are all FAKE. Feel free to contact me with any questions. I will email you back unlike the other people posting false information. I did purchase 4 sphynx kittens and have nothing but good things to say about Avasa Sphynx. Sarah M.

First of all why don't you post the contract here so we all can see it. My cattery is not avasphynx.com it is avasasphynx.com GET IT RIGHT if you are going to lie and file a false report at least lie a little better. I know Elizabeth filed this and needs to give more attention to Floyd and GET HIM NEUTERED! I do have contracts and references on all kittens I have placed. Be true to yourself Elizabeth Largent.
