BEWARE!! Update: Since Purebred Kitties has replied with useless nonsense, and I have submitted an additional $590 veterinary specialist report confirming congenital abnormalities requiring surgery, I have received no response or acknowledgment. ADVICE: If you are willing to take the risk of doing business with this company anyway like I was, then purchase using an AMEX. I was able to successfully get a complete refund by disputing the charge directly with AMEX, and providing documentation of this company's failures. I bought a precious kitty from this terrible company for over $4000 and it showed up at my door needing $4,400 orthopedic surgery to both back knees due to a congenital abnormality. Meaning, this kitty was born this way, and this company (and their preferred Veterinarian) signed off on a clean bill of health and sent him my way. After seeing a specialist, I was advised that ignoring the patella luxation in both knees at such a young age would likely result in secondary complications as he ages. So, I was left with the option of letting the the $4,000 kitty live cripple for the rest of his life, or spending $4,400 more to ensure the well-being and long life of this precious animal. The company has made no attempt to address this and after reviewing the requested vet records wished me the best of luck and warm regards. Rest assured potential buyers and other victims of this company's practices, as I have hired an attorney and will fight for the principal of this matter and well being of other animals and customers. I will fight relentlessly to undermine the illusion that this company presents as "committed to ensuring the highest standards of breeding, transparent and ethical practices, and a health guarantee that sets a new benchmark in the industry."

Look at kind of binary reviews here. I think I found the reason. Buyer beware on health of kitten. I asked for health report and got a travel health saying no significant contagious diseases. Nothing I saw on parasites, worms, gums or non significant contagious infections etc . When I requested I was told I would have to pay for it. That says a no go.Never bought a pet with out a health report with a lot in it. Actually I read against the law to sell without a variety of checks in the state of Florida yet they were willing to sell to us. As to the Reply below, here is what the health report says as to the exam below. This is what the reply says is “a detailed health report.” Read the issues low rated reviews have found and now you may know why. “I have examined the cat…and found them to bee free of significant contagious disease and safe for travel.”

Well it’s sounds like comparatively others have had much worse experiences, but consistent. I realized quickly after getting my Main Coon that this is just a pet mill. Which I have always avoided. We love her anyway it she she arrived with the flu and gastroenteritis. They kept her in Delaware for antibiotics and cleared her for transportation by car. Everyone was very nice. But she was still sick with flu and I discovered the GI issues with my vet. In the end I had to get extraordinarily expensive food for the GI x6 months. Now she still has a sensitive stomach. But she clearly was not raised underfoot -she does not like being picked up or closely cuddled even though she is very loving. We’ve worked hard on her getting used to being handled. Never had this with any of my pure and homebred cats. I didn’t even know it was being flown in from abroad Romania. From what’s been said here it sounds like a cat mill churning them out for $$$ and poor health care. I’ve had cats shipped from Canada and across US and none have ever been sick; all were clearly raised underfoot. I can’t understand how they have 4 stars

Absolute scam and a waste of time. They take interviews and make appointments for already reserved cats. Horrible buisness practice.

My experience with this cattery was thoroughly disappointing. Despite their assurance that the kitten was in perfect health, it fell ill within two days of arriving at my home. My vet diagnosed the cat with asthma, a genetic illness that the cattery failed to disclose. While it's possible the symptoms emerged after arrival, I expected them to provide genetic information guiding my decision. What's most disheartening is their unresponsiveness despite my numerous attempts to seek resolution. Regrettably, I overlooked negative reviews highlighting this recurring issue. The lack of transparency and accountability is unacceptable. I intend to report this business to the BBB. Save yourself the trouble and avoid this cattery at all costs.

Received my Maine Coon in October. Cat was kinda sick when we accepted him but it got progressively worse. Thus far $1,344 in vet bills. Cat has been diagnosed with tapeworms, giardiasis, eye infection, herpesvirus and mycoplasma. Purebred refuses to reimburse us for any vet bills and will not return thus far 7 calls. They actually blocked my son"s phone. If you buy a cat from this BROKER and it's sick your OUT OF LUCK. Check out the posts from Carlos Hernandez and Joyce Bidwell. They are true as the same thing happened to us. There are plenty of reputable breeders out there that treat their customers right. really wish I found one before I did business with purebred

DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS COMPANY !! My Maine Coon was delivered in October of 2023. Upon delivery it was questionable if our cat SUSHI was healthy but thought and hoped it was because of the trip. Well it got worse. Three vet visits later my Cat has been diagnosed with tapeworms, giardia, eye infection, herpesvirus and mycoplasma. There was one night we actually thought we were going to lose him. Currently my vet bills are $1,344. My vet also suspects a genetic heart issue due to his size. EKG will cost $750. We found out later that this cat was shipped from the Ukraine. WOW, sure that country presently has very strict regulations on cat breeders. When we contacted Maria she outright refused to reimburse us for the bills. They hope and know that after caring for the animal you fall in love with it and you just know it will be euthanized and another one will be put through this horror and shipped to you. Also she said the cat probably got sick after we got him. My vet outright contested that and is presently providing us documentation proving it. Now comes the concerning part....They blocked my son's phone and have not returned any of my 7 calls. Finally did get through to Kim who was very empathic to our situation but also never got back to me and after 3 phone calls to her realized she also was like Maria...they just don't care after they get your money. This is their MO Read Carlos Hernandez post....did the exact same thing to him. Read the 2 other reviews from Carlos Hernandez and Joyce Bidwell. They are TRUE and in I wish I paid attention to them. I have reported them to Animal Welfare, and Delaware Animal services and not done yet. I am taking legal actions. THIS IS JUST WRONG AND ACTUALLY CRUEL

Changing to 1 star because they reported us for telling the truth and will be contacting trustpilot directly about them. So now I will be going more in detail here about their lies. they lied about taking our kitten to the vet and him being completely healthy. We called their so called vet who said they had no records of their cat ever being brought there. We brought him to our own vet who said he had parasites (giardia) along with feline coronavirus, skin infections, and eye infections. I highly recommend you go straight to the vet when you get your kitten like we did since you can’t believe the letter of good health they give. We’ve probably spent over 5k on vet bills and even now a year later are still having to bring him to the vet with chronic health issues. My vet flat out said that it’s from the breeder and probably passed down from the mother. I have tons of vet bills starting from the first trip to back up my statements in case they want to report my post again for defamement
