Thank you all for these reviews and complaints. We almost got sucked into this and I had a funny feeling and decided to check this out and discovered that it was a scam. Thank you everyone. When I told them that we were no longer interested and we were very nice and said thank you we will pass at this time good luck with your sales their response was F all of you and the finger. Please don’t fall for this group
I had an experience just recently with Munchkin city, who claim to be in Richmond Virginia…there # is Michael Smith / or David Braxton [email protected]/or Michael Smith. 3307 Chesco Rd. Richmond, Virginia 23234. 1-804-557-6155
[email protected] Of course this is all fake, and the probably have changed contacts by now…if I ever find them~~well I can’t put it in writing.
We’ve been looking at buying a cat through munchkin city, this is the phone number you might be looking for. If you’d like, you can contact them to see if it is the same people let us know because we were interested in purchasing a kitten: 804-571-0904
These people are fraudulent and have been reported to the federal trade commission.
We planned to purchase a Sphynx cat and we got ripped off. Here’s the fake websites and shipping company.

Looks like the same scammer is doing it on another website as well. https://munchkin.company.com
They pretend to have your best interests and the pet and hold a dialogue to get you scammed. They even sent us a contract. But when we questioned the delivery and extra shipping costs not included in the total cost. The person was super aggressive and trying to be manipulative. We didn’t but it. Please note for future. If buying a pet through the internet it’s legit. Real breeders are will be sure you know what your getting into, info about the pet in detail and provide real time photos or videos to make you feel confident about your purchase.
They will get caught in the end…
Here’s the other one.
I was looking for a cat at the Website at http://munchkinkittens.company.com/. And a breeder called Stephaine Owino used a phone number to contact me (405)3559867, and we made a deal and I paid 950$ to buy a cat called Mai which is still on the website I paid through Zelle, their account is [email protected] Today is supposed to be a delivery day, and they have sent me an email from [email protected], saying that my cat needs vaccine and a insurance for 975$. The website is https://parcelworldwideexpress.com/. He called me several times and the phone number is 4022560970. I found it weird because the transportation company asked for Zelle transfer. So I looked up and found this website

Hello. I purchased a kitten from the above through Zelle. They also only accepted bitcoin, PayPal friends and family (they REFUSED to accept goods and services. I signed the application and sent $1450 directly through Zelle. They never sent the kitten. They told me the kitten would be on a certified vendor transport and send me a legitimate looking tracking site. They said the kitten would arrive at LAX airport the same day and a representative would deliver to my front door. That afternoon, I got an email stating the cat was tired and before the kitten could be delivered I needed to pay another $1,600.00. They refused to answer my questions about why this was happening. I asked for a refund and he said he would give me back $4,000 but I would have to Zelle Pay a $500 fee for them to process the refund.
Complete scam.
I contacted my bank IMMEDIATELY and they said they can’t do anything about it. I hope this person/people get what they deserve in karmic hell.

Hello. I purchased a kitten from the above through Zelle. The only place the cattery would use. I downloaded the application and paid them $1,000.00 directly through my bank account. They never sent the kitten. They refused to call me or answer my calls. They told me the kitten would be on a fake airline called United Pet parcels which does not exist. They said the kitten would arrive at norfolk airport the following day and a representative would deliver to my front door. The next day I got an email stating the cat was tired and before the kitten could be delivered I needed to pay another $1,300.00. They refused to answer my calls or call me back. They are a scam that stole my $1,000.00 and never delivered my kitten. Lots of other complaints I have recently come across. Sincerely, Jill Tilghman and Donald Koonce
I almost had the same experience! So glad I found this site. They sent me the same e-mail word for word about Lucky. I informed them I was reporting them to the authorities. Here’s the e-mail they sent me first and then when I answered their questions:
“Hi again
Thanks for contacting Munchkin Kitten Ranch we apologize for the late reply. Below you will find all the information on Lucky.
We found Zima and Blue and loving home
Lucky is an outgoing Standard shot leg munchkin registered with a Tica cat who enjoys being handled. He has lots of energy and is faster and more agile than he looks. Think of a low-slung sports car and you get the picture. Lucky is a friendly Munchkins like playing with children and other cats and dogs he just turned to 13 weeks 2 days old, Health papers all vet records he has been Fixed. On the rare occasion when he’s not in motion, expect to see him sitting up on his hind legs to get a peek at something interesting. He’s not a “leap tall buildings in a single bound” kind of cat, but he is definitely capable of making his way to high places if he so chooses. It just takes him a little longer. Lucky is highly intelligent. Challenge his brain by teaching him tricks and providing him with puzzle toys that will reward him with kibble or treats when he learns to manipulate them.

Adoption Fee $800
Shipping is available if you can’t make it here

I will like to ask a few questions
-Are you used to pets?

-do you have a vet doctor?

-Tell us your pet’s experience?
-how soon do you need the kitten over?
-Do you have allergic to a pet?
-where exactly are you located?
Sorry for all the questions it just that I want the best for my kittens”
Then this:
“Thanks for answering my questions and we have gone through your reply it shows Lucky will suit you and your family. Also, we are very pleased to know that you have a great experience with pets. This is already making me be convinced of the abundant love and care that will be shown to Lucky while staying with you.
We are located in (Helena Montana) with the kitten. I know you may ask yourself the question of why my website is showing in another location and I’m in another. The reason is that we paid Google to promote our website so it can be seen in many states so it will be very easier for us to find homes for our kittens. But we shall be very grateful if you can come over to view and pick up the kitten but if you can’t make it here, I shall use a Verified USA Pets Transportation Service that will bring the kitten to your doorstep or you pick up at the airport. Please you need not worry about the kitten traveling cos it was a usually thing my mum and I do and they always arrive safely and the same day
The adoption fee for $800
Shipping fee $200
Just get back to us on whatever suit you best and if you are interested in having the little guy deliver just let us know so we can explain the step on how it works”

This website is selling kittens, the phone and email is used to get the info and money. They send agreement, pictures and related info about a cat. After they get the money, they use another fake shipping company which in that case request more money. Scam!!!
Website: MunchkinKittenRanch

Starts with a squeeze page that pulls some typical information from me to start a conversation.
We then get an email.

Much of went I went through was the same except I only sent half, $500, and told them I would send the other half after I received the kitten. I got a rude response by text message. This seemed like a red flag. Then after a back and forth, I asked what the name of the person texting me was and he said Kennedy and his wife’s name is Queenablessings. It is possible that is a real name somewhere but it seemed laughable to me. I looked up the owners’ name on the address provided and they did not match. I did not tell the texter what names he should have used but I did ask that he go outside and take a picture of his house. Up to this point I was polite even though I knew I just lost $500. The individual acted insulted. I asked for my money back and the texter said he would send it tomorrow. I have no hope for it.
They did the same to me for the same amount? I am filing FBI internet pet scam toy can too and they will do jail time and fine. Call your local State And city FBI office for pet fraud internet scams

I was looking for a munchkin kitten for adoption and found this website that specialized it. The website looked very family oriented and pet loving. The website showed to either call/text/email to get more info. I emailed to inquire a kitten to the email address provided and they responded with detailed information about the certain kitten. a few emails were exchanged and they even asked a multiple questions to learn how good we can take care of a pet so I really thought that they were pet loving people, not just doing this for money. It convinced me to adopt a kitten from them and when I told them, they asked to pay via Zelle money transfer. The name and the email was different than the website stated but I didn’t question much because it’s usually not their primary job. I sent the money total of $1000 ($800 for kitten adoption fee and $200 for delivery fee). They responded back to me to inquire more shipping details and all. The day that the kitten was supposed to come from Helena, Montana to CA where I am, I was given with the tracking number and delivery website. https://parcelworldwideexpress.com/ However, I got a call from the delivery company that the kitten is on hold in Reno Las vegas airport due to needing anti-pressure vaccine, new crate and new insurance and asking $1300 but it would be all refundable once the kitten is delivered. At this point, I got to question and contacted the seller via text and the seller was saying he was at work and didn’t really know what’s going on. I copied and pasted what they sent me and he said I should pay because they said it will be refunded. I asked him if he ever had this experience before and how come I wasn’t aware of it. He stopped responding. I called the delivery company where it stated on the website and the email they sent me. The guy had an African accent and sounded like who I was already and asked to pay. I said I wasn’t aware of it and it is alot of money and I further asked about the carrier info and airplane info and he said it was via United Airline but he didn’t have any other info. I told him I wouldn’t be feeling comfortable paying $1300 especially it has to be via paypal or Zelle. There was no credit card option. He became rude and said I would need to speak to the owner. I tried to contact the owner via text and email but he stopped responding via text and email.

They gave me tracking number and it does give information status. However it initially said male kitten so I texted the seller if it’s typo and he said it looks good. I check right after I received a text, the tracking info changed to female kitten. Very odd.
I just went into chase the same thing happened to me…you need to call them and report it…they are investigating his account
