Uses sketchy marketing tactics and dropships from China
Uses sketchy marketing tactics to create false urgency. Runs adds on Instagram claiming they only have 400 units left and tariffs prevent them from making more saying to buy before they are gone for good, which is illegal and considered deceptive marketing tactics by the FTC, In reality they just drop ship some cardboard from China. In the add responses they say they handle the Kitty Kurlz directly but many people have posed the shipping info showing it being shipped straight from China. Most positive reviews seem fake they get posted in bunches, just look at the review history, all 5 star reviews get added all on the same day, will come in like a batch of 10 5 star reviews back to back, most likely to try to hide the 1 star reviews. $30 for a piece or cardboard drop shipped from China. Very sketchy seeming company, Do your research before buying.

Hi Jay, We understand not every brand is for everyone, but we do want to clear a few things up. Creating fun promotions or running ads doesn’t make a company “sketchy” it’s pretty standard for small businesses trying to grow 😊 Our reviews come from real customers, and we’re proud that so many cat parents are happy with their purchase. If it wasn’t for you, that’s completely okay — but plenty of kitties (and their humans) genuinely love it. Wishing you and your pets all the best. With Paws and Smiles, Marlene's Pet Shop Team 🐱
