I have not been wanting to write this review of my experience with Purebred Kitties, but their response to a very heartbreaking experience when I purchased not one but two Bengal kittens leads me to warn others of the high risk of disappointment and grief when doing business with Purebred Kitties. I began looking for places where I could find and ultimately adopt (purchase) a Bengal cat. Pure Bred Kitties popped up immediately during my search and the website was professional and neat. There were cute pictures of available kittens for sale so I picked one out and followed their purchase policy, A deposit and final payment on delivery. As there was a 4 to 6 weeks time to approximate date of delivery because of the kitten's age I ordered another one which was almost ready for delivery. Everything seemed fine until I noticed that the delivery date was vague and lengthier than I was expecting. I began to search for reviews of Purebred Kitties and panicked from some of the reviews. Kittens were coming from war ravaged Ukraine on extremely long journeys, many with multiple health issues and very dissatisfied experiences. I began contacting Purebred Kitties, chatted and spoke with Marie and Maye voicing my concern about the delayed process and the multiple negative reviews on Trust Pilot. They reassured me that everything was going to be fine, that the kittens are screened once they get to the U.S. After that conversation the delivery date was set within a week which was unexpected. The delivery took place on January 31, in a parking lot by the American Airlines cargo terminal at Philadelphia airport. A lady in a car showed up and delivered the kitten along with paperwork. Cat seemed fine and after a 2 hour ride we were home. The kitten appeared to be a bit frightened but generally ok. As it was a weekend I had to wait for a Vet appointment the following Tuesday. The cat did not appear to be eating much and on the vet appointment she was found to be febrile and somewhat dehydrated. She was treated with intramuscular hydration and given antibiotics. At first the kitten seemed to have improved for a couple of days but then she began experiencing vomiting, diarrhea and lethargy. Refusing to eat and drink. I set up an appointment with the Vet and when I went to get her for the appointment the cat was dead under the bed. I took the deceased kitten to the vet and after some test she was diagnosed positive for FPV an almost always fatal virus for kittens for which she was suppossed to be vaccinated for from the breeder. Very traumatic experience as anyone who loses a pet can attest to. After dealing with this heartbreaking experience I contacted Purebred Kitties very disappointed in the experience and requested to get a refund and cancellation of the other kitten that was ordered. After unnecessary back and forth in dealing with Marie, Jane and Maye I was able to get the refund of the cancelled order. I insisted that I should be refunded on the unhealthy kitten delivered to me. They were requesting an autopsy reports even though I sent them medical records from the vet that showed her to test positive for Feline Panleukopenia Virus and almost always fatal condition for kittens. As I had already spent $700 on veterinary care, I was not willing to spend another fortune on an autopsy. I kept insisting that they had sent me a sick kitten and demanded a refund. I have not heard back from them. Please read all the negative reviews that this company has before considering buying a kitten from them. They will probably reply to this review with their fixed template of "How sorry we are about your loss..." The bottom line is that Purebred Kitties is an untrustworthy company that deceives in their website with fake testimonies, misleading "Health Guarantees" and should be avoided at all cost. Please read not only this review but so many other customers who have had very sad experiences they are truthful testimonies.

Our Maine Coon kitten was delivered about 10 days ago and he is an absolute sweetie. The ability to have a kitten delivered is a great selling point as I have an older car and couldn’t make that trip. That being said, I had no idea kittens were being bred out of the country. So due to his arduous journey, he arrived with a mild upper respiratory infection and diarrhea. We are working with our vet to clear that up. In addition, these kittens are not cheap. You expect them to be perfect and this little guy is almost deaf. I wouldn’t trade him because he’s so loving but the buyer needs to be aware that these things can happen.

The process went smoothly. Received Ares within 3 weeks and he is just as precious as his pictures online are. The few things that I feel like that could’ve been done better. There could be more transparency when it comes to delivery dates and times you only get a broad idea of when he might come in and then it’s almost the last minute before you find out he’s coming. I did send a couple of emails trying to get a better idea of the delivery date, but I felt like my questions were avoided. I also paid for some of the add-ons that were never completed. I did however, receive a refund for those add-ons, but that’s not what I paid for. For example, I have paid for the pedigree certificate and it was never delivered instead I got a refund. So it makes me wonder a little bit to the validity of him being purebred. And dealing with their website and the actual purchase, I ended up paying for the flight twice the first time it was $600 and the second time it was like $680. I’m not quite sure if I was ever refunded the money for the second purchase of a flight. Not to mentioned I thought I was purchasing a kitten based in the US but instead he came from Ukraine. A bit concerning. Over all I am happy with Ares he’s an awesome cat.

If you don’t mind a kitten with ringworm and a company that doesn’t do anything to compensate for vet and medicine expenses then I highly recommend

I was a little nervous as a first time buyer of a purebred. We’ve always rescued. However, my daughter was in need of a specific kitten as an emotional support animal. I couldn’t have been more pleased with this site. Every person was responsive and helpful. We were provided consistent updates and all questions were answered promptly. Our kitten was delivered without any problems and is healthy. Our daughter and her kitten are developing a strong and loving bond. Thank you for making this possible!

Pure bred kitties were great professional answered questions concerns in a timely manner. To'a is beautiful friendly n fun..

my kitty is the most sweetest angel. It was easy and helped me find my companion for life 🤍. Thank you.

I had a good experience, especially with Beverly pre-adoption. She was informative, transparent, and made herself available for all my questions. And she really answered them; she didn’t fob me off with vague statements. Post-adoption contact was less great, but I just went back to Beverly with my questions. Our kitten is absolutely wonderful, and exactly how they described her!
