AvistaCats Dianna Davis Fast Talker Vista,CA/North Carolina California/NC

This breeder Dianna is horrible. She won't communicate in writing she only wants to talk on the phone. She is a very 'fast talker' she just wants to make a quick sale. She wanted to sell me a Maine Coon kitten under 12 weeks old. Legitimate breeders don't do that.

I wanted proof that her cats and kittens were FIV and FeLV negative and she couldn't provide that information to me in writing. I told her I would purchase a kitten from her if she could email me this information.

Instead of doing that she kept calling me a dozen, times or more. I did not answer any of her calls as she obviously felt she could pressure me into buying the kitten if we spoke over the phone. She even says right on her website 'It is better to call me then email'

I emailed her again letting her know that I would need that information in writing. I received a reply that 'this kitten was so great and she was going to keep him for herself but she would part with him just for me (someone she doesn't even know) he comes from great German lines and he is the cream of the crop'

I didn't necessarily care about how great his lines are. I was looking for a family pet that doesn't have FIP or FeLV that was it. She simply cannot provide any of this information in writing.

She also mentioned that the kitten was not registered but that if i sent her the money she would register him for me. REALLY. What type of legitimate breeder doesn't register their kittens. I don't trust Dianna.

When I refused to answer any of her numerous phone calls and made it clear I would not be sending her any money without some proof in writing, via a simple email from her, she finally replied via email stating 'its too tiring to type and how she was going through too many personal issues and let's just hold off on the sale of the kitten and to check back with her in the future.'

I won't be checking back with her in the future. I already found a great Maine Coon kitten from a legitimate breeder.
