Evyenia Dunlap of Martinsville, VA 24112 is an animal horder. Breeding "just" canines wasn't producing quite enough profit so, apparently she decided to go ahead and appeal to the feline world as well to maximize funds and line her pockets with our hard earned dollars, in exchange for her genetically and congenitally ill pets. This time, her unreputable breeding habits/practices has ruined a life, our son's life~ Jesse.
I discovered an add regarding a bengal kitten available from a breeder, Evyenia Dunlap of Virginia in 2014. We fell in love with this kitten and placed a hold deposit to reserve her. Around the 3rd week, Evyenia told us that another mother had to nurse our lil' girl as well as the rest of the litter because their mother had bloody stools and became anemic. She also told us that the mother had several seizures during the pregnancy phase. We had already placed a hold deposit on our kitten and a request for refund had been refused even though we were highly alarmed. Evyenia "claimed" the mother had been fed raw meat and simply had food poisoning, nothing to even worry about. From the 3rd week on we did recieve 4 "supposed" updated pictures of our lil' kitty which of course showed a healthy and playful Bengal, so we just pushed our worries to the side. Huge mistake!
We opted to have the kitten shipped to us. Upon arrival we noticed the kitten wasn't the one we had initially purchased, or something was seriously wrong. The travel crate was filled with diarrhea and the kittens left eye was inflammed. We took the kitten home and bathed her hoping it was just travel sickness. She was so exhausted, even throughout the entire next day. Nothing even similiar to what you would expect from a healthy playful kitten. I took her to our Vets office late that evening for a full exam. They ran her bloodwork. The results were Taxoplasmosis!!! I had absolutely no idea what this was, never even heard of it before this day, which became one of the worst days of my life as I was expecting at the time. We provided the breeder's certificate of health to our vet 3 weeks later when this test was repeated.
Taxoplasmosis poses a risk of infection to pregnant women. If infection occurs during pregnancy it can cause abortion or congenital defects to the fetus. This is exactly what happened to our first born son. Jesse was born with severe brain damage. Because of this heartless breeder, my son will never even live a full life. Dunlap bred a cat "knowing" she had this infection and then sold her kittens knowing they most likely were ALL congenital carriers of this infection!
How can anyone do this, for money? For any reason at all? She refuses to refund even a dime of our money and has blocked us in every way she can to avoid our communicative efforts. Please do not purchase a kitten from her!
She also breeds Siberian Husky's and there are negative reports against her regarding that as well, of course!
We have retained an attorney to represent us and are fully persuing Evyenia Dunlap for our sons medicinal needs.

I purchased from Allure Bengals
AUTHOR: Cat Lover - (United States)

I purchased a kitten from allure bengals. I agree they are bad breeders. Her son Zachary Dunlap is breeding bengals cats and sold one with a spinal defect to me. He stated he has a queen he breeds with a turned out foot and the kitten I have has a turned foot and fused vertebra. He has done nothing in good faith to return money or replace the kitten. DONT BUY FROM THIS BREEDER! BREEDING CATS WITH BIRTH DEFECTS!

my Allure Bengal is fantastic
AUTHOR: Sue, Norfolk, VA - (USA)

I sought a Bengal kitten and Allure was the closest breeder with pet quality kittens. They are 6 hours away, so I was unable to go back and forth. I explained to Evelynia the kind of personality I was looking for and she matched me up with Tarzan. He is exactly what I was looking for: active, intelligent, loving and healthy. The Allure cattery was clean, and the environment for the kittens was quiet and homey. Tarzan will be five this fall and is well socialized with no personality or health issues. I am happy, and would purchase another animal from Allure without hesitation.

Perfect Bengal
AUTHOR: Kim - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, May 11, 2016
I purchased a wonderful Bengal kitten from Allure Bengals a few years ago and couldn't be happier. She is everything a Bengal should be including completely healthy and beautiful. Allure Bengals are responsible breeders who look out for their kittens above all other considerations. They are available to help and answer questions. They are by no means backyard breeders, but rather knowledgeable, caring, and reputable. The kittens are lovingly raised in a clean home. My next Bengal will indeed be from Allure.

False accusations
AUTHOR: Jeff - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, May 11, 2016
I personally have purchased a Bengal from her and also been to her house. There clearly was nothing wrong with her business or its operation. The cats were all healthy and curious. I've also have seen her huskies which were also healthy and beautiful but they did like to bark, but what dog doesn't bark. To the fact that she would send you a sick kitten it just don't add up. She also kept in touch with me for any questions I might of had . I'd be happy to talk to anyone about her and my story.

100% False Complaint & Documented Smear Campaign
AUTHOR: Allure Bengals - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, May 11, 2016
Unfortunately we have been targeted along with other Bengal breeders by this horrific smear campaign. This individual or group of individuals have attacked many reputable breeders with nearly the exact same post and tone. We did not feel the need to add a response when we were first notified of this fraudulent complaint as the site hosting it has also been involved in countless extortion scams that have been well documented by the Better Business Bureau, Forbes, and many more reputable sources.
We are always happy to allow our potential adopting families the opportunity to come meet us and all of our cats and kittens before making a decision to purchase a kitten from us. You can view numerous customer testimonials on our Facebook page under the section titled 'visitor post". Please contact us if you have any concerns regarding this fraudulent complaint. We are happy to provide proof of it's falsehood, and answer any questions you may have.
