First of all. You profess to be “transparent” & use “only reputable breeders.” How about the kitten I adopted? She came straight from Ukraine with an Ukraine passport attached to the top of her carrier. We had no idea that she was from Ukraine. You should have disclosed this info. She had earmites and ringworm! Arla Luithly

Their reviews are false. They have one 5 star review each day.. they sell sick cats, shipped from the Ukraine, imagine this poor animals on cages for hours on several planes.

I’m almost certain that most of these reviews are fabricated. I find it hard to believe that so many people are buying $3,000 cats in such short periods. I purchased a kitten through PureBreed, and the communication after the sale was poor and unclear. I had to follow up multiple times just to confirm the delivery. It wasn’t until I requested a return that they finally provided a delivery date. When the cat arrived, he had eye discharge. I took him to the vet, where he tested positive for two viruses and a bacterial infection. I had to put him on medication and antibiotics, which cost me thousands of dollars. I reached out to PureBreed for support, but they still haven’t responded. •To their response: Leon was showing clear symptoms of a bacterial eye infection immediately upon arrival. As you know, infections of this nature do not appear overnight, they typically require at least 48 hours to develop visibly. Given that his flight lasted only a few hours, it is clear that he was already infected well before he was placed on the plane. This directly contradicts the explanation that the condition could be related to transportation stress. You included a health certificate with Leon at the time of delivery. Given his rea condition, I am now forced to question the accuracy—or worse, the validity—of that certificate. Was it issued without a proper examination? If so, that would be not only unethical but potentially falsified, which is extremely serious.

Worst experience I have ever seen from a company. I don't even think you can call this a legit and moral company. I bought my Bengal and got him in December of 2024. Since day one, he's had diarrhea. I have taken him to an internal specialist and have spent roughly $5000. You would think a kitten would be perfectly healthy for spending $3500 on him. He was diagnosed with Tritrichomonas. Everything they have tried so far doesn't work. It is unfair to the kitten to live with painful diarrhea every single day of his life. I have sent this company multiple emails and never got a response. They see there is a problem and don't respond. I will never do business with this company again. Awful and inhumane.

It's taken me a long time to write this because I honestly didn't want to waste additional energy thinking about all the issues. However, I received a promotional email from this company today about what sets them apart and needed to share my experience. I purchased my kitten in 2021. I used a local breeder for my first and was hesitant to purchase from a cat broker for my second. Nevertheless, I couldn't stop thinking about this kitten and went against my gut and purchased him. They seem to have made updates to their policies since then, but at the time there was essentially no health guarantee, particularly for HCM. I knew this was a red flag and still ignored it. Initial communication was fine and I received my kitten; however, he had THREE infections within two days of arrival (calicivirus, bordetalla, and mycoplasma which takes at least 6 weeks on antibiotics to clear!) as well as an ear infection. This resulted in quarantining this kitten for 2.5 months before his PCR tested clear and he could be introduced to my other cat. Imagine the stress that put on our family. Mari did not respond when I informed her about the infections (I didn't even complain; I simply stated that the breeder and she should know especially since these kittens are in contact with each other) and she never sent his "pedigree" paperwork as promised despite asking twice (I was left on read in text). My kitten also evidenced a heart murmur early on, which led me to getting him an echocardiogram where he was diagnosed with HOCM 6 months after receiving him. While I understand there is not a foolproof way to guarantee a cat won't have this diagnosis, there are measures that can be taken to ensure the breeding cats are clear of it. If you read other reviews, you'll see other kittens also had health issues. A reputable breeder will scan annually and give you a guarantee for the first several years of life. Furthermore, you have no idea who the breeder in Ukraine is nor the care that is received. I contacted the stateside vet (Old Ridge) that "clears" the kittens and they don't even have records. Lastly, I made an objective comment in their Facebook group simply stating that I chose to have my own testing done (in response to someone who was inquiring about it) because there is always an inherent risk in purchasing a cat coming from another country and not knowing the breeder and was promptly blocked from the group and on Instagram (RED FLAG). Why censor your buyers from sharing an honest, objective thought? I love my cat and I'm glad he came to me since I am an informed owner and have been able to provide him the care he needs for his heart disease, which has cost thousands of dollars given his ongoing care with a cardiologist and daily medication. Nevertheless, I cannot recommend others use this company to purchase their kitten. I strongly suggest finding a local breeder with great reviews, comprehensive testing and health guarantees built into the purchase price.

Hello, kitten was sent covered in fleas and ticks. Kitten also had green discharge from his eyes and unexplained blue dye to his fur around his private areas. Kittens eyes were closed shut on the second day requiring an ER visit. I repeatedly asked for documentation, informing the team that I was at the ER. I was informed days later that it was attached to the crate; however, it provided minimal information. Diarrhea was reported prior to kitten departure, no information was given on clinical diagnosis. Kitten presented with continuing diarrhea and required deworming immediately. The company made little effort in involving new owner in choose of airport, day, or time. A text message was provided and it was assumed that new owner would find a way to pick up kitten; regardless of informing company that personal circumstances, work, and a 2 hour drive prevent new owner from picking up kitten prior to airport closing. No communication was provided on the day kitten was set for departure, nor did company ensure that the kitten was picked up safely. The kitten appeared unkempt and covered in dirt. It was clear that the kitten was neglected. An unfortunate amount of money was spent to ensure kittens health; however, the kitten is now highly loved and has been rescued from a very dangerous and unfortunate process that I fear is occurring to many other kittens sold by PureBred Kitties. While reviews ensured the legitimacy of the company prior to purchasing kitten, I believe further investigation is needed.

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.
