I was getting a kitten for my son. I paid them by cash app (Malcom Jayson) for the kitten to be shipped from ND to NC. They stated he was on a plane to NC a couple days later. When he got to Chicago the shipping company (United Pet Ship out of Oklahoma City, OK?) stated he was sick and needed a anti-pressure vaccine and I had to pay them $1475 by Western Union to a Jeff Reed. He missed the flight and the next day the shipper called and said they needed $1500 for insurance, crate and delivery and he would be here by 4:30pm. At 5:30pm I got a call and email stating the kitten got Canine Parvo and they needed $3000 more to treat and ship. The cattery was no help and told me to pay it and to trust the process. They stated they paid $1480 of the $3000 and I needed to pay the rest. The shipping company stated upon delivery I would get 95% of the funds returned. I did not pay anything else to them. The shipping company will not answer the phone. The cattery will not return emails. Their website has completely changed and now has different kittens on there. Also I will provide the other website they are using: https://ragdollkittens.company.com

This website offers Rag-doll kittens for sale. We contacted them through their website and they offered to sell us a kitten. When we asked if we could video chat to see the kitten they made up an excuse as to why they couldn’t. This began a serious of odd emails (the replies didn’t make sense to the questions we were asking and included a sob story about a son with cancer and being broke) which raised our suspicion. When we told them we couldn’t buy without seeing a live shot of the kitten they emailed us a video. When we went to YouTube we found the same video they sent us and it was four years old. The videos and pictures they were using were posted in other locations on the internet.
