I am leaving this review to warn others…
I am leaving this review to warn others about my experience with this company, as it has been extremely frustrating and unprofessional. In February, I placed a deposit on a kitten (originally named Seva, later changed to Robin Hood) under the belief that I was purchasing directly from a legitimate breeder at a fair and transparent price. After making the payment, I discovered that this company was not the original breeder but was acting as a reseller. The kitten I was sold was reportedly purchased by them for around $850, while I was charged close to $3,230. This significant markup and the fact that they were reselling the kitten were never disclosed prior to payment. Additionally, the listing indicated that the kitten would be available at around 3 weeks old. After I paid, I was then told I would have to wait several months (closer to 3 months) before the kitten could be provided. This directly contradicted the original listing and was not made clear beforehand. Because of these issues, I requested a refund. On February 28, I received an email from their team confirming that my refund of $1,750 would be processed and would take approximately 7–10 business days to reflect in my account. However, the refund was never issued. From that point forward, I sent over 15 emails and made repeated attempts to follow up, but my messages were largely ignored. I received little to no communication for weeks at a time. Due to the lack of response, I filed a chargeback with my bank. During this process, I was told by the company that $750 was “non-refundable,” which was never clearly explained beforehand. The dispute ended up being decided in their favor because I did not have the opportunity to fully present the details of the situation. After that, I continued trying to resolve this directly. I was given multiple conflicting explanations, including: That the delay was due to my bank That the refund was already processed That I would receive the full refund by mid-May None of these statements were followed through on. As of now, I still have not received my refund. Communication has again stopped, and my emails and calls are being ignored. This experience has involved: Misleading and incomplete information before payment A written promise of a refund that was never honored Months of delays and lack of communication Constantly changing explanations depending on who I spoke to I also want to note that I have retained screenshots of emails and messages confirming the refund and my repeated attempts to resolve this, in case any records have been altered or removed. Overall, this has been a very disappointing experience. I strongly recommend that anyone considering doing business here proceed with extreme caution and fully verify all details before making any payment.They will steal your money even though they are supposedly a large company which is supposed to mean they are proffessional and not money hungry.
Response from Purebred KittiesMay 5, 2026
Hi Raneem, We’re sorry to hear that you feel this way, and we want to address your concerns clearly. At the time your reservation was placed, the kitten was secured and taken off the market specifically for you. We also began coordination and preparation with the breeder to ensure everything would be ready for your scheduled timeline. As outlined in our terms and conditions—which are agreed to prior to placing a deposit—the reservation fee is non-refundable, as it compensates for holding the kitten and the resources allocated during that process. Regarding availability, kittens are typically reserved early but are only released at the appropriate age to ensure their health and proper development. This is standard practice and is communicated throughout the process. We understand there may have been frustration around timelines and communication, and for that we do apologize. However, the cancellation was ultimately initiated after the kitten had already been reserved and prepared on your behalf. If you would still like to revisit options moving forward, we remain open to assisting you. —Purebred Kitties Team
