Statement of Facts about Debra K. Darling of Hollyhocks Persians & Himalayans
----------------------
Respond To Complaint Comments
----------------------

Debra Darling has been breeding pedigree kittys for over 15 years at 2912 Chestnut Street, Riverside, Ca 92501, 951-781-4979

I am about to share what Debra K Darling of Hollyhocks Cattery had told me directly, about how she treats her cats/kittens. So therefore everything in this statement of facts came right from Debra K Darling herself.

I gave Debra Darling a shaded silver boy [on a trade] at 6 months old his name was Oliver in about 1998 .
Very sweet kitty, no personality problems what so ever.

Two year later 2000 I get him back because I requested him

This kitty was kept inside a cage for 2 years

When I got him back I was scared to death of him.
I wanted him cleaned and groomed.

I was not able to even touch him.

I had to have him declawed that is how dangerous & frantic he had become.

I also had to have my vet bath him and cut his coat down and cut his back claws while he was still [under].
I have proof of this abuse that was done by Debra Darling [proof ask me for it].
Her name was on the cfa registeration papers.
Proof from the vet enclosed.

I am reporting that Debra Darling has neglected, abused and caused actual death to at least 5 cats that I know of since I was associated with her from between 1998- 2002 [approximately 3 years]

This is what Debra Darling told me she does to her kittys.

Debra Darling told me,"when my cats do not listen to me, I bop them on top of the head with my hand and sometimes I use a broom. Debra also told me,"she does become physical with them to tell them who is boss."

Photo's enclosed of her cats how neglected them are due to lack of grooming

Debra Darling told me, "3 males in 1 year of mine died because of crystalized urine in "2002".

I was suppose to purchase a kitty from a chinchilla golden in 2002.

The mom was named Whimsy she was only 8 years old

Debra Darling told me 1 year before that, "she has to really be careful with Whimsy because she almost died and she does not think she should breed her again, and should get her spayed!"

Then I get a call from Debra Darling and she tell me, "guess what"? Whimsy got pregnant and its due at this date."

I then made arrangement that I wanted to purchase a kitty from that litter.

It was time for Whimsy to give birth and I get a frantic call from Debra Darling telling me,"Whimsy just calapsed on the kitchen floor and died with her babies inside of her."

I felt so broken hearted and sick over this horrible news, I made a memorial on Debra Darling site to remember "Whimsy".

Debra Darling did not want that memorial on her site and took it off.

Debra Darling told me, "anything I ever told you, do not tell to anyone, and especaily do not ever tell anyone how many cats I have, I dont want anyone to know!

The amount cats she has is over 30+.
She has them located in her back wooden porch area all in cages.

When the mothers give birth she has them smashed into her kitchen area in various plastic bins.

Debra Darling's interior home is filled to the brime with valuable antiques brought from the money sales of those poor kittys.

I purchased a kitten a blue eyed white for Debra Darling as a gift.The next day she called me up and told me, "to come and get this kitty, it had ring worm."I drove all the way to Riverside, Ca and went to her door and all I heard was a small white kitty screaming on the top of its lungs.

She did not ever open the door fully. She cracked the door wide enough to hand me the screaming 8 week old kitty and shut the door swiftly.

I have never seen or heard a kitty act with so much distress in my entire life, and just shuck my head in total disbelief as to why a kitty would be screaming on the top of its lungs like this.!

Debra Darling gave me back a male silver chinchilla that had such a bad scratch in his eye it took almost 1 year to heal, his name was Ting Tang Too.

She also gave me back Butterscotch, but before she did she asked me,"are you sure you really want her back because Butterscotch had a real bad fight with one of my kittys and the fight was so bad Butterscotch was screaming on the top of her lungs"

I asked her what happened? She said, "when Butterscotch had her babies she was in the kitchen area with all the rest of the mothers who had kittys, with no cages or organization."

"And Butterscotch did not like a particlar kitty going near her kitties,". And when she told me this I got chills up and down my spine, realizing this kitty may have been abused also.

I did not know what to say, other then, "yes I want her back!"

Debra Darling best cattery friend Michelle told me, "Debra Darling don't care about her kittys, she is just doing it for the money".

Debra Darling told me one day on the phone "she had so many unplaned litters due she counted up to 10 litters due that were all unplanned.

I received an email post from "Brannaway" persians and asked them, "Did you see the condition she is keeping her GRC Brannaway Attum in?". They made one remark, "yes sadly I did"!

Debra Darling has persian kittys for sale constantly in the paper, week in and week out, month after month, year after year non stop, since I have associated with her since 1998-2002

Everthing in this statement is 100% truth so help me God. Everything in this statement of facts is "paraphrased" & was told directly to me by Debra K. Darling of Hollyhocks Persians & Himalayans herself, while I assocated with her for the 3 years. RoseMarie Zizzo 9/23/03

This is Rose marie Zizzo and one of her hundreds of complaints

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

POSTED: Thursday, May 01, 2008

If you believe Rose Marie's garbage please be aware that she is one of the worst cat breeders ever, and was kicked out of CFA (The Cat Fanciers a*s.) for animal welfare and since that time spends all her free time bashing, trashing, lying about breeders,harassing, stalking and trying to ruin all the breeders she cheated. She has called animal control herself on this breeder numerous times. All was found to be OK!
Ms. Zizzo has cheated every one she has ever done business with. The cat in question here, Oliver was in Zizzo's possession for two years, and is one of the cats she dumped at the kill shelter, one of the many times she got tired of her cats and threw them out!
This is a seriously disturbed person who has made hundreds of these complaints about every one she has done business with. And trust, she cheated everyone of these breeders!!!!!! She did not ever finish paying for the cats she got, and the cats she sold herself or gave in trade were never what was promised or agreed on, they came with horrendous ringworm and and a killer upper respiratory.
She claims to want to ruin these breeders around the world and has done so to most.
Read the truth about her here http://pedigree-cbs.org.
You can read her threatening emails and promises to destroy. You can also read about her being sued and losing. You can actually view her CFA suspension.
If want to go after her she lives in Beaumont, Ca at 281 W. 12th St. animal rights people!

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

POSTED: Friday, June 09, 2006

why did you do business with her if she is like you say. I also just researched her name and came up with something about a rosemay zizzo is this you??

I feel you are a guilty as the women you speak of as you did business with her full well knowing that she is abusing her cats. sick and twisted people.

'Rosemarie Zizzo's website is not legitimate. She has no authoritity to act as the cat police from any registry of pedigreed cats, major or minor.'

You carry some responsibility here.

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

POSTED: Friday, June 09, 2006

I think that you are just as culpable in this situation in that you have known about the deplorable conditions at this cattery for several years and have done nothing about it. You also continue to buy kittens from this woman, and give her your own cats in trade!

If the situation at this woman's facility is as bad as you describe, you should be contacting your local Animal Control agency and not posting your complaints here. It could be argued that since you have known about the suffering of her animals and did not report it that you are also liable. Why have you waited so long to speak up?

I am an animal control officer in the bay area, and if I came across a situation like you described - I would seize all the animals in the home and prosecute the woman for criminal animal cruelty.

Methinks you have ISSUES!!!

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

POSTED: Saturday, June 03, 2006

First of all, I do not see how this qualifies in any way as a "rip off."

If you were indeed ripped off, could you please clearly re-write your story so that it makes sense (aka, prove your point).
