First I'll start with all the great things. I really wanted a Sphynx cat and I was glad to find a company where they source from breeders that test for hcm and trusted breeders. I am grateful to have my kitten in my arms after a little more than a month. She is beautiful. Now the process started by paying over 3k for a sphynx which is quite a lot. I then found out that she is flying from Ukraine to Delaware and that I can pay an additional 1,600$ to have a nanny fly her from Delaware to Las Vegas. So I decided to book my own flight to Philadelphia and pick her up myself and fly back to save 1400$. Regardless of the money aspect of it all.. because she is worth it. What was super disappointing was the lack of communication. The first week started off good , I got a video and some updates .. but the updates were super basic about cats in general, not about my actual cat. Then a week went by and I called to see if I could actually get an update and a possible date so I could book a flight to get her. He said he can't tell me specifically when she is coming but would update me. A whole week went by and I stopped receiving any info. I called back and same answers. I was upset at that point because I just spend over 3k and I haven't even seen any update since the first day. Another week went by and I was fed up and asked to talk to anyone but that guy. Finally got to speak with the woman who I spoke with initially, she apologized and said I should have been receiving updates and videos of my cat this whole time. I was upset but she gave me a solid date to pick her up and sent me a video. Needless to say, I finally have this baby sphynx and she is precious. But even 3 days before I got her I asked 5 different people if I could get the weight of her before picking her up and got 0 responses. This company is great in that I got my cat, but why can't you just routinely update the people who buy them. 0 stars on communication. The guy that I spoke with was incredibly hard to talk to. He said 'um' every two seconds and he clearly didn't know what he was talking about. So, thanks for my cat. The woman who met up with us to hand off our cat was kind, informative and on time. Now I can just hope that my cat is really healthy and the breeding was done with care 🩷

I wanna give a higher rating, but I feel I can't, honestly. Truthfully? I'd probably go through them again if there's a very specific breed I want to adopt. But the communication throughout the process was really terrible. I was never sure who I was supposed to be communicating with. I was told my adoption specialist would be someone named Jane, but then I couldn't get in contact with her at all. I tried every email that was provided to me, and every single time, I kept getting an automatic responses telling me that the email I was trying to contact wasn't valid and I couldn't reach it. Then I was later told that I was supposed to be connecting with someone named Marie. I figured maybe I couldn't get through because it was the wrong person, but I got the same thing when I tried to contact Marie next. Email is invalid and can't recieve mail. When it came to pick up, I got some back and forth that was very confusing there, too. I was told to get her from cargo pickup, which is a separate building, but the emails I received told me to get her from the terminal. I tried to verify which it was, and I was told it would be the cargo building. I go to pick her up, and she's not in the cargo building. She was in the terminal. We're also not sure exactly where she came from? We heard she was coming in from Philidelphia. Then we heard Deleware. Then Philidelphia again. Then when we picked her up, all of her paperwork was in Ukrainian?? Very confusing. I was able to communicate a bit with Kim throughout the process, and she was great. Very nice, very patient. At the end of it all, we did get our little kitty, though. She's healthy, and beautiful, and I absolutely love her SO much. So, end goal was achieved, and it was overall not an absolute horrible experience. I just really wish the communication would get sorted out. Adopting a pet online is a nerve wrecking experience, especially if you've never done it before. Open and definitive communication would help a lot with that. As stated before, though, I'd still probably go through them again if I was looking for a very specific breed.

Very hard to navigate between sites and back.

I have to preface this by saying that I got an beautiful and perfectly healthy kitten... but I want other people going into this to know what I didn't know because this company disclosed nothing to me. First, I spoke to my adoption specialist and told her that I wanted a kitten that I could come meet and pick up in person...that was our first conversation. I did not find out that my kitten was getting flown all the way from Ukraine, until after I had already put a deposit on him and after I had already fallen in love with him. Not disclosing this is wrong for so many reasons. I personally would not have put a kitten through that much trauma. Then they told me that a nanny would be flying with my kitten when I expressed discomfort which I'm telling you right now, I don't think happened since they charge $1500 for a nanny to travel with the kitten. In fact, they would not even tell me where the kitten was coming from, after being pressed hard enough, they said Europe. Once I got the kitten, I found out it was from Ukraine. There's a literal war going on in Ukraine right now and civilians are dying so it's horrifying thinking that my kitten was in that situation so at that point, I didn't know if he was gonna be traumatized. Second, the miscommunication was outrageous. I got told my kitten was coming at all different times. I got told my kitten didn't even have a neutering appointment set up when he was supposed to be here the following week and then five minutes later, all of a sudden it was "no he's already neutered." I don't wanna make this review super long so I won't get into all of the miscommunications, but I'll put it this way, for somebody like me that has anxiety..the highs and lows of this process was emotionally traumatic. Then I got told that there would be a two week delay on when my kitten would be able to come home because he got bit on the leg by his brother...when I asked about the injury, I was told nothing more. The adoption specialist would not tell me if he needed stitches, which leg it was, I never got a video or photos of the injury, nothing at all besides, he was a bit hard enough that it prohibited him for two weeks from flying. This threw me into a tailspin as you can imagine. I was worried beyond belief. And again because of this "bite" now I'm worried again. Was he the aggressor? Is he traumatized? I got zero answers. When it finally came time for me to pick up my kitten, I traveled with my dad to Delaware from Pennsylvania to pick him up... 10 minutes before pick up time I was told there is an hour delay. At this point, we totally thought it was a scam. When we pulled up to the address, (which we assumed was their facility) it was a STARBUCKS PARKING LOT! Like what? I'm paying $3000 for a kitten that I'm gonna get handed to me in a Starbucks parking lot? I truly do not believe that they have a facility. I think that this is a cat ring that they broker. I don't understand why they don't disclose these things because there's many people that would gladly get a kitten from a different country. There's nothing wrong with that! What's wrong is that it was not disclosed. I was led to believe otherwise. The miscommunications were so bad that at this point I think they were just flat out lies. It's a shame because the experience was completely ruined for me. I was on the phone with this woman in tears. My dad and I drove home from Delaware without the kitten and I was told that they could bring the kitten to me later in the day. This costs 400 and something dollars so my dad told the adoption specialist we're not paying for it. This is your fault. Bring the cat for free and I will say that they did. When I came home, I truly thought that I would never hear from them again and I would not get my cat. While I was waiting for my cat, I asked them to send me the paperwork from his vet... The paperwork was in Ukrainian so I had to translate it, which is no big deal, but there was nothing in his paperwork about his surgery of being neutered, and there was nothing in his paperwork about his feline fiv/felv test. When I asked about it, I got ignored. So I had to pay my vet to retest him for feline fiv/felv. Thankfully, my kitten is the kitten that I picked and he is healthy. It does look like he was neutered, although we cannot really tell for a few months to see if his balls drop... since I have no proof that he ever had the surgery. Unfortunately, I think I'm the minority here because a lot of people got sick kittens. I thankfully got a healthy one. They are very nice at this company, particularly my adoption specialist kim... She's extremely sweet, but she has a way of giving you the runaround when you're trying to get a direct answer that you should have every right to know about your kitten. If I was rating this on the experience, I would give it one star but because I got a beautiful healthy kitten, I rated at three stars.

I am concerned of a potential scam. For the Maine Coon kittens I'm looking at they all have the same father but the fathers name is different in each one (Cody, Peanut, Oscar) with different weights. There is no way to contact the breeder to ask. And the only option is to make a deposit. How can I verify they're legit? It's the exact same picture for eachone.

Why can’t you go in person and get the pet!!well people don’t transmit diseases to animals. I feel that paying that much money we should be able to see the one we pick as we would not want to see each and everyone of them only our pick. Thank you for replying back.

Owed money for vet visit and Microchip that was supposed to be included! He is healthy and the love of my life! Disappointed they didn’t do all I paid for! I paid for everything and the personal delivery. Last minute I get a call no microchip. They told me they’d pay after I got it done. Furthermore, dumping off and running off without giving time to read a document? Stop it! You owe me for the vet visit and chipping! Don’t blame others for your shortcomings of and expensive transaction. I also needed another distemper. Just so you all know the vaccines are done at a petco vet, along with other procedures “Vetco” is petco clinic I store

Picked "Tim" up April 16th.He was not eating or drinking. April 22 he was taken to emergency vet. He had a lump on his belly that gave them concern so they did digital radiographs and found a lump. Gave him fluid injection also antibiotic and famotidine injection. Luckily, within a few days he was feeling better. But an expensive trip to the vet. $461.00 April 30. Ramses was picked up. Ramses was very wheezy & congested. May 6 he was taken to The vet. He too was given an antibiotic injection. His chest cleared up, but he is still full of phlegm & sneezing way too often. That visit cost $139. With a follow-up visit coming next week. I have no complaints about the courtesy and service that I received. All of you were above and beyond with concern and kindness through the drama of getting the cats. But once home, it's been stressful hoping that they'll both be okay
