Purebred KittiesReviews of purebredkitties.com

I embarked on a search for a reputable Bengal cat breeder when I came across PurebredKitties.com.. At first glance, the website appeared professional and inviting, but further investigation quickly revealed disturbing inconsistencies that should concern any prospective buyer. One of the primary issues is the absence of detailed breeder information. There is no clear description of the breeder’s credentials, breeding history, or health certifications. Genuine Bengal cat breeders provide comprehensive information about their practices, ensuring that customers are informed about the lineage and wellbeing of the animals. In contrast, PurebredKitties.com gives only vague generalities, which is a significant red flag. Another critical concern is the website’s location and the associated standards. PurebredKitties.com operates out of Delaware, with a bogus address (I called numerous businesses in the area where not one could verify the existence of the business in the plaza). Additionally, they are not a member of the BBB, which was my second red flag. After constant pressure, they finally revealed the breeder was located in Ukraine where animal health and breeding standards are considerably less stringent than those in many Western countries. This discrepancy raises serious doubts regarding the quality of care provided to the cats and the reliability of the breeding process. When investing in a specialty breed such as Bengal cats, prospective buyers must have confidence in the health and legitimacy of the breeding operations. Unfortunately, minimal health oversight in Ukraine coupled with a lack of transparency on the website undermines this assurance. The situation worsened when I requested appropriate customs documentation for my pet’s shipment to the United States. Customs paperwork is not merely administrative; it is crucial to verify that the animals have met all necessary health and import standards. However, PurebredKitties.com failed to furnish such documentation when it was requested, leaving me with neither satisfactory proof of compliance nor peace of mind regarding the animal’s condition upon arrival. This omission is both irresponsible and indicative of potentially dubious business practices. Furthermore, communication with PurebredKitties.com proved to be extremely limited throughout the entire process. Prompt and detailed communication is essential in building trust between buyer and seller, especially when dealing with international transactions and live animals. My inquiries about delivery details, health certificates, and shipping schedules were met with minimal responses and unexplained delays, further compounding my concerns about their operational reliability. In summary, my experience with PurebredKitties.com has been overwhelmingly disappointing. The glaring lack of breeder transparency, questionable health standards stemming from their Ukrainian base, absence of crucial customs documentation, and poor communication collectively suggest that this business is not operating in a trustworthy or ethical manner. Potential buyers seeking a Bengal cat should exercise extreme caution and thoroughly research any breeder before making a commitment. It is advisable to pursue sellers who offer full, verifiable documentation and maintain consistent, clear communication throughout the sales process, ensuring the health and proper care of these beloved animals is prioritized above profit. Furthermore, potential pet owners must conduct extensive due diligence and rely on reputable sources to ensure their future companion’s well-being. A trustworthy breeder will provide complete health records, transparent documentation, and unwavering communication throughout the process. The experience with PurebredKitties.com is a stark reminder to never compromise on essential standards when purchasing a pet, for lasting calm assurance. UPDATE: May 31, 2025 Purebred Kitties is using a fictitious address for their business 501 Silverside Road, Suite 87, Wilmington, DE 19809. I called numerous businesses in the same plaza where not one business knew of them, Additionally, I searched the USDA website where it shows the business passing a feline inspection with no cats, huh, how with no cats?. The address on file where they did the inspection is a single family home,157 Riverview Drive New Castle, DE 19720 If you look on google you will see a run down 2-story house.

First of all, stay away from Purebred Kitties. I give this two stars only bc my husband and I actually received our kitten compared to several one star reviews. Experience was horrible throughout the entire adoption process. Communication was absent unless we reached out first leaving voicemails or sending texts. We were promised videos of our cat every week. That stopped happening after week 1. Often we wouldn’t receive a video unless we reached out to PK multiple times for an update. There wouldn’t any acknowledgment that we reached out. We would just receive an email with the video every 2-3 weeks. In several instances, we received videos of a different kitten. The kitten we picked out had specific markings for us to notice when those markings were missing. When mentioned to PK, they would tell us they would reach out to the breeder for a new video and then crickets from PK. For several months, we didn’t actually know if there was a kitten. PK wouldn’t take the time to talk to us about the “hard” questions. Every time we asked for proof of life, location of kitten (not breeder name), kitten raising process (hands on, how long is the Queen with the kittens, what age are the kittens weaned, etc.), the sales person from PK would suddenly wrap the call. In several cases, we were hung up on. Kitten came from Ukraine which was not shared with us. We were told the kitten will come from Delaware, USA. It only became known to us that the kitten was from Ukraine from the passport that came with him. The only vet records we received were his Ukraine passport proving he had his rabies vaccination and a document when he made it to Philadelphia to prove he could travel. Kitten was extremely malnourished when we received him. Our kitten came with a fever causing diarrhea, vomiting, and extremely lethargy. At nearly 5 months old for his breed, our vet confirmed our kitten should have weighed about 5+ pounds more than what he did and under sized for his assumed age. Our vet also stated that this mistreatment had to have gone on for several months for him to be in such terrible shape if he really is 5 months of age. After medication and high protein meals several times a day, our kitten is beginning to make a comeback. It is absolutely repulsive and abhorrent that this company would not only allow for the mistreatment of our kitten, but then allow him to travel. We decided not to inform PK of this. They have not only disrespected my husband and I by not being transparent or honest, they allowed for the mistreatment and abuse of our kitten. STAY AWAY FROM PUREBRED KITTIES. This company is a broker, not a breeder. While they say they care about the animals, that was not shown with our kitten.

Great experience with Purebred Kitties. My Maine Coon was more than I could hope for. Socialized, healthy and clean. The adoption lady was very informative and communication was great. I would certainly use them in the future. Highly recommend.

Easy process. But I was surprised to find out Rokki was from Ukraine. They should put birth place.

After reserving a kitten and receiving an email with the confirmation , the kitten was sold to another person. If the kitten was already reserved to another person why was the ability to reserve the same kitten still there. Seems like this company just wants to scam for more money than someone else has already provided

Such an amazing experience, Elenya is the best cat I could’ve ever had. And the team who helped deliver her here were fantastic!

I stumbled upon this website on accident while searching for breeders. I definitely could have found something more local, but I just fell in love with one of the silver bengal kittens listed and how informative the site is on their individual personalities. After putting down a deposit I was immediately contacted by Kim who was my go between for the breeder. Kim was very kind and professional and worked with me to schedule calls/texts around the time zone difference and my job schedule. Kim kept me updated every step of the way and answered any questions I had. Additionally she sent me information on the breed and suggestions for types of toys and cats trees they might enjoy. I also received weekly photos and videos of the kitten I was adopting. I was a bit nervous about having a cat shipped across the US, but they took such good care in making her comfortable with food and water and a potty pad inside a well secured crate. My kitten arrived and immediately warmed up to being pet and held and exploring her new home. I am extremely impressed in how well socialized and affectionate my new kitten is. If I ever decide to get a second cat, I would definitely consider using purebred kitties again and I definitely recommend them to others. Thank you Kim for all your work in assisting me bring home a new addition to my family.

Wonderful very responsive and helpful and sweet whole way through!
