WHAT WOULD SATISFY YOUR COMPLAINT?
"That she should be shut down and refund me the money i have spent on vet bills Yes post on site.: Yes "

Official Complaint Filed 4/13/05

FACTS:
"hello there i went to look at this kitten which was 45 mins from my home which i thought was wonderful. we went to go see him and he was beautiful and very loving. he was sneezing then which she said was due to the candle she has lit. we where leaving on a cruise so i gave her a deposit to hold him. went to get him the day after our cruise and he was still sneezing now she said it due to the fact she had giving him a bath. well he sneezed the whole way home making me feel lied to then. took him to the vet 2 days later the sneezing was getting worse, the vet put him on clavomax for a week,he had not had the proper shots for his age,7 months old and he only weighed 4 pounds awful little for a 7 month old bengal. he also had bad ear mites as well. did the week of clavomox went back the next week still sneezing nasty little snot rockets everywhere. we did 10 days of interfureon then. still no luck with the sneezing oh he did have a goopy eye also. went back to the vet after the 10 days still sneezing so we started zirtho for 21 days and also have started l-lysine 250 mg a day.

ok the 21 days were up yesterday and we still have nasty snot rockets that are EVERYWHERE. i have had him neutered and all of his shots are now up to date. the day that i took him she took 30 dollars off his 500 cost because she said he might need an anitbotic. this is telling me she knew that he was sick. according to her contract i had 7 days to contact her if there was a problem. well i am thinking we just have a URI nothing really to worry about, but after we did a week of antibotics and he didnt clear then i was worried. it did contact her by phone to tell her my vet thought possible FIP seeing she didnt have his tested. so i let her know this.

she said make sure i let her know. seeing that she is a member of the ticbs i went to there site to read some stuff. after reading i emailed her and told her that i didnt think that she had followed the code of ethics and that she had sold me a sick cat. and that i should be refunded my vet bills. well she finally called me and told me that i didnt go by the contract so she wont refund me all of my bills. but send her the copies of everything. i sent her copies of my bet bills which by then we were at almost 600. plus i had him neutered and sent her a copy of that to get his papers.
well of course this woman has not called or wrote to tell me if she got the papers or not.

well i emailed her asking her for the name of her vet. this was on a friday and saturday i emailed her again and now her email is not working.

ok now iam getting upset so i ran a add in the local paper asking if anyone has bought a kitten from her.

well i got 3 calls and they are all sick also, mites sneezing and one had bloody stools. thank god we didnt have those too. one of the other buyers said she was sold that kitten "as is" plus they are being kept in a shed like building with goats and pigs and no heat!!!! this is michigan in the winter.

now the day after i ran the add in the paper we got a strange phone call a 2 am saying Now what i am suppose to do with my bengal kittens! it said private caller on my id. the area that these people live in is kinda of shaky and i dont want in trouble with these people. i would think that this woman would try to contact me some how. i think i have done what i was suppose to so its up to her now. i believe that she is a kitten mill from what my what i am going through and the other buyers.

i think that she should pay for my vet bills, and send me his papers which really dont need he is a pet. but if not then she should be shut dowm something should be done so no more sick babies go out her door. i am waiting on the vet to call me back now because he is still sneezing and now licks and chews on himself to much plus now has a throaty sounding cough he had a cough that sounded like he was trying to cough up a hairball but never did. he is finally starting to play more and he is up to 6 1/2 pounds finally. so people really check out the breeder and the home more than what i did. also i never did get a health certificate from this woman which should have been a sign but i had never got a purebreed cat before and not really sure what i was suppose to get. she had also she she would mail all that when he was fixed. never got anything.

so dont buy from Virginia (Gina) at Bruceswildbengal in michigan there are some wonderful breeders out there just do some research like on this site. thanks so much for letting me post. hope this all makes sense "

File A Report and Small Claims Court

AUTHOR: S.n. - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, May 05, 2005

If your veterinarian is willing to attest to the fact that the kitten was sick when you purchased it, take this person to small claims court to get reimbursement for your vet bills. Please do NOT return the kitten to this breeder. Contact your District Attorney's office and tell them that you wish to file an animal abuse complaint. If the breeder's facilities are in a different county, you will need to file there as well. Contact the humane society and cat rescue(s) in your area and the breeder's area advising them of what has happened. Good luck.
