THIS IS A SCAM! THEY KEPT PUSHING BACK THE PICK UP DATE FOR BS REASONS AND WHEN I ASKED SO SEE THE "SICK" KITTEN THEY COULDN'T PRODUCE, THEY SENT ME A PICTURE OF AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT CAT. UP UNTIL THAT MOMENT IT WAS AN INCREDIBLY WELL EXECUTED SCAM, BUT THEY REALLY FUMBLED IN THE ENDZONE.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience. We take your concerns seriously.
Delivery delays may occur when additional coordination is needed, particularly when ensuring a kitten is healthy and ready to travel. At Purebred Kitties, we prioritize the health and well-being of our kittens and do not proceed with rehoming or delivery unless a kitten has been deemed healthy and cleared by a veterinarian.
Upon checking, we also see that your funds have been returned to you. We regret that this experience did not meet your expectations and remain committed to addressing concerns professionally.
If you have any further questions, please contact us at [email protected] so we can review the matter and provide any necessary clarification.

Paid 3200$ for a Maine coon kitten
Paid 3200$ for a Maine coon kitten, was then told kitten wouldn't be ready for another month, and then was told on top of the 3200 dollars it would be another 1000 to get her. When I asked for a refund since I had given everything I already had I was put off and told she would get back with me. Still no phone call nor the refund I asked since the kitten I fell in love with will cost me more like 5000 instead of the 3200 as advertised. Anyone else have this problem?

Updated Review After 6 Months
I initially wrote Purebred Kitties (“PBK”) a glowing review (now removed), but after several health issues have come up over the course of 6 months of ownership, and an exorbitant amount of veterinary costs with no resolution in sight, I must revise and share my updated experience with this company.
I purchased Toros (renamed “Gremlin”), a black Maine Coon boy, earlier this year in March. Gremlin was initially advertised as being in my area (Arizona), which I found convenient. After placing my deposit however, I was told by Kim that Gremlin was in Delaware, and I needed to arrange for his travel via cargo or by flight nanny. I opted for cargo, as I wasn’t anticipating the additional expense, but then PBK told me that the airlines refused to deliver Gremlin via cargo due to excessive heat (which I understood). PBK then arranged for a flight nanny to deliver Gremlin to me, at no additional cost, which I thought was a sign of good faith from PBK. We scheduled a pickup at PHX Sky Harbor airport for April 3rd.
Another buyer left a review stating the flight nanny was odd, and I wholeheartedly agree. My flight nanny seemed stressed, was unkept, and we had a language barrier as she did not speak much English. Upon meeting me, she immediately pulled Gremlin out of a tiny black duffle bag and put him into my arms. That’s when I noticed that this little guy STUNK. He was covered in his own liquid feces. I was willing to let this slide initially, trying to be understanding of the fact that this cat just traveled a long distance, and sometimes shit happens, but then came the paperwork: A Ukrainian passport, and a veterinarian’s evaluation clearing him for travel, also in Ukrainian. This means that Gremlin didn't originate from Delaware, and no documentation has been provided to prove that he was evaluated by a United States veterinarian, prior to my ownership. Fortunately, I had scheduled a vet visit same day, and I took Gremlin there directly from the airport.
Initial findings included being underweight (muscular loss), explosive diarrhea, four (4) deciduous teeth that needed to be removed, all vaccinations aside from rabies needed to be administered, and Gremlin was still intact when he was supposed to come home neutered. In April, I did alert PBK in that Gremlin was still intact, despite being represented as neutered, and there has been no resolution to this issue. I also alerted them to his explosive diarrhea, which they claimed was due to stress from travel (it’s not lol).
To date, Gremlin has not had a single solid shit in his life and has not maintained a healthy weight (coming up on 1 year old). I’m doing everything that I can to care for him, working with internal vet specialists, but I shouldn’t have to be doing this, and he shouldn’t be suffering like this. He is a very good boy, so sweet and intelligent, but this is the kind of cat that requires long-term specialized care. The kind of cat that you get for FREE. What I was first willing to write off as gross oversights on PBK’s end, has now left me seriously concerned about the health and sourcing of the cats being sold through this company. Once the sale was closed, PBK disappeared.
In hindsight, I should have read the reviews here prior to purchasing. Additionally, I noticed that under the cat’s ‘My Info’ section, if the Registration does not state ‘TICA’ and states ‘WCF’ or some other association, the cat is likely not originally from the US. Stay safe out there.
Edit 10/2/26: PBK was quick to publicly respond. Simultaneously, they tried to flag this review for removal. The request was reviewed by Trustpilot and denied.

Thank you for sharing your detailed experience. We’re very sorry to hear about the health concerns Gremlin has experienced and understand how difficult and frustrating this situation has been.
We take your concerns regarding his health, paperwork, origin, and neutering status seriously and would like the opportunity to review the details with our Post-Adoption team. Please reach out to us directly at [email protected] so we can review the veterinary records and communication history and assist you further.
We’re glad to hear that Gremlin is receiving ongoing care, and we sincerely hope he continues to receive the support he needs.

This company is a fraudulent and scammers
This company is a fraud and scammers. I was promised a healthy kitten. After asking questions for about 20 mins about how they prove they are not a scam or fraudulent I decided to adopt. I picked up an emaciated, dehydrated, with explosive diarrhea. I raced the kitten to my vet where they saved her. The vet said she was very sick and may pass away. The kitten also has a 3rd grade heart murmur which is pretty bad. This is not what I expected especially for being so expensive. My credit card company reimbursed me because of the fraudulent behavior of the company if it’s even a company. Do not adopt from here. I see a class action lawsuit in the near future. Company is not registered with the Better Business Bureau. Should have looked at that first. The kittens picture was also listed on several other sites for much less money. When I asked why that was their response was they just look alike. Took the photos to a photographer and was confirmed it was the exact same kitten. Fraudulent!

Hi Dawn, we’re sorry to hear about your experience. We take your concerns seriously and have made multiple attempts to resolve this matter directly.
The payment for the kitten was disputed and reversed; however, the kitten remains in your possession. We have also requested complete veterinary records, including examination findings, test results, and a formal diagnosis, to properly review the health concerns raised, but these have not been provided.
We remain willing to work toward a resolution. Please contact us at [[email protected]] so we can review your case and coordinate next steps.
If the matter remains unresolved and the kitten is not returned, we reserve the right to pursue available remedies under the signed Adoption Contract.
