Amazing service, very informative and easy to adopt. Very excited to receive my Maine Coon

Everything about this felt safe. From the first message to the moment she arrived, it just felt right. No weirdness, no pressure, just care and support.

I am having most awful time getting the kitten I paid for sent to me. I paid owner in full fee for kitten and for shipping. Now her shipping company has harassed me for past 2 days wanting more and more money. First a crate rental fee of $934 and now insurance for $1,200. No one will help. Most awful experience I've had! I've also attempted to email Purebred Kitties twice and called - NO RESPONSE.

This has been, without a doubt, the worst experience I’ve ever had with any company—and it involved the health and safety of a living animal. If I could give negative 100 stars, I absolutely would. I purchased a kitten from PurebredKitties.com, trusting their website promises: that kittens are FIV/FeLV tested, properly vaccinated, parasite-free, and come with full health documentation and care items. What I received was the exact opposite: A kitten who arrived soaked in urine, underweight, and covered in fleas Because of this, I now have a full flea infestation in my home, directly caused by the condition the kitten arrived in, which I am still actively treating to this day Despite their advertised guarantee, I received no documentation proving FIV/FeLV testing. I asked them multiple times before and after the sale, and they ignored every single request Instead, they told me “the breeder said he was negative”—as if that’s sufficient. Where in the world is that acceptable? Health claims like this must be backed by official veterinary documentation, not hearsay The vaccinations were administered improperly, as confirmed by two independent veterinarians, forcing me to restart the vaccine protocol entirely at my own expense The promised “kitten care package” was laughable—just a ziplock bag of generic kibble. There was no litter, no sweater, no clean carrier, and no clean bill of health Even worse, I asked repeatedly where the kitten was coming from, thinking I could possibly drive to pick him up. They refused to answer until after I paid the deposit, and only then admitted he was being imported from Ukraine. There is no disclosure of international sourcing on their listings—this is a clear and deliberate omission of material information. Their communication was consistently delayed, evasive, and dismissive. When confronted, they offered to take the kitten back—but I would never return him to the same people who allowed him to be transported in such a neglected and inhumane condition. This is not just unethical business—it’s behavior that may be legally actionable. I am filing formal complaints with the Virginia Attorney General, Federal Trade Commission, and Better Business Bureau, citing false advertising, deceptive trade practices, and breach of contract under the Virginia Consumer Protection Act. I have full documentation of every ignored email, veterinary report, and expense. This is a pattern of negligence, not an isolated case. Please do not be fooled by their website or carefully crafted marketing language. If you care about animal welfare and honest business, avoid PurebredKitties.com at all costs. ***As you can see in their response, they continue to ignore the core issues—the kitten arrived infested with fleas, soaked in urine, underweight, and missing the critical veterinary documentation their website explicitly guarantees. Claiming “the breeder said he was negative” is not valid proof of FIV/FeLV testing. I requested real records multiple times and was ignored. They also failed to address the incorrect vaccination protocol, confirmed by two vets, and the ongoing financial burden I’ve incurred for treatment, flea removal, and care. Also they dont diaclose where cats are coming from, i have all communications where they wouldnt respond until after i paid a deposit then disclosed after additional multiple attempts they cat was coming from Ukraine. Even their website doesnt disclose location for any of these kittens. This is poor damage control, and it could’ve been resolved amicably if they had taken accountability early on. But instead, they chose evasion. Read the other negative reviews—they’re true. Unfortunately for them, they crossed the wrong consumer—I know my rights and the law, and I have sought legal counsel.

I actually bought a kitten from Purebred Kitties. And while I Love the cat, I absolutely share the same concerns with many other 1 star reviewers. For example, I’m not sure why a breeder would need “privacy” from their customers, which is PK’s explanation for not allowing customers to vet the breeder their cat is coming from. I had already paid my deposit before learning this was the case though. My cat also came with extremely limited paperwork, none of it with breeder info (again, once I’ve ordered and received the cat, why wouldn’t it be appropriate for me to be able to contact the breeder? Who is being protected here and why?). Some of the info was even in Ukrainian (I had no clue this cat was coming from Ukraine). My kitten showed up with an extremely dirty face, scratches on his leg, ear and neck, and an oral infection. He was also handed to me from a carrier that had another cat in it. So know that, even if you choose the far more expensive flight nanny option, it will possibly travel/arrive with other people’s pets. The flight nanny was very sweet, but I would never use this service again. My vet is medicating this cat for multiple infections, he has a herpes virus, and I’m financially responsible for bringing this poor thing back to health. I was embarrassed to tell the vet how I got this cat, because I clearly should’ve done more homework before buying from this company. You will get a purebred cat, but there’s no telling what condition the cat will arrive in. And PK only covers genetic conditions and offers an optional $400 coverage to cover a single type of infection (FIP - feline coronavirus).

Never thought I'd get a purebred kitten online but here we are. Everything about this just felt right. No pressure, just honest communication, and when the kitten arrived it was like she’d always been part of the family.

I just wanted to share a bit about Mocha and me. I truly feel like it was a match made in heaven — like she was meant especially for me, and I for her. As soon as I got her, she opened right up to me and cuddled close. She is such a sweet soul and loves to be near me. She always lets me hold her without any of the usual resistance cats can have, and it makes me feel so special to experience her attachment. I wasn’t expecting us to click this fast; usually, there’s some adjustment period when bringing home a new kitten, but Mocha knew immediately that I was her mom. And I am a proud cat mom! My sweet girl came from Ukraine — and that’s perfectly fine with me. She is healthy, happy, and quickly adapted to her new surroundings. She is calm, loving, inquisitive, and a true little explorer! I loved her long before she ever came home, but when she finally arrived, my heart overflowed with an overwhelming amount of love and joy. I want to give a very special thanks to Kim, who was extremely helpful, patient, and kind throughout the entire adoption process. From the moment I laid eyes on my little Maine Coon until the moment I brought her home, Kim answered all of my questions and did everything in her power to make the process smooth. Thanks to her, I was able to bring home my fluffy ball of joy. I am so grateful for the opportunity to have such a sweet and gorgeous cat — she’s even more stunning in person! I would 100% adopt from Purebred Kitties again. Pros: Excellent communication, extremely gorgeous and calm-tempered cats Cons: None

I tried to inquire about adopting a kitten through Purebredkitties.com, and my experience was extremely disappointing and concerning. Despite the polished website and heavy advertising, there is no transparency about where the cats are coming from. Every attempt to schedule a call or ask direct questions about breeders, locations, or health guarantees was met with voicemail or vague promises of callbacks that never happened. The focus of their communication is entirely on pushing payments and sending automated marketing message. They don't provide real information about the kittens themselves. After further investigation, it became clear that Purebredkitties is not a breeder, but a broker, something that should be CLEARLY disclosed from the beginning. Responsible breeders are transparent, accessible, and genuinely care about where their kittens go. This experience felt purely transactional and raised serious concerns about animal welfare and business ethics. I strongly urge anyone looking for a kitten to work directly with reputable breeders or adoption agencies — not through companies like this. The degradation of business practices over the last decade and beyond is appalling. The company NEEDS to work on customer service, reputability, and transparency rather than wasting so much time on automated advertising and smoke/mirrors. Some facts if you're considering purchasing from them: Purebredkitties.com is NOT BBB accredited There is no listing of breeder names, cattery registrations, or health guarantees publicly The focus is website cart abandonment advertising, aggressive marketing, and very little actual kitten information Ethical breeders allow phone conversations, transparency about health records, and usually have waitlists, none of which are offered here. After my extremely negative experience with this website, I found many reputable breeders across the country that are very willing to work with you and demonstrate care about their kittens.
