Catherine Cicerello Of Kittkat Cattery Unethical Cat Breeder Do Not Purchase from her she stole $2000 from me & sold sick kittens to me!! Forked River New Jersey

Catherine Cicerello of Kittkat Cattery in Forked River New Jersey is an unethical & dishonest breeder of sphynx, peterbald, siamese, and oriental cats. Her cattery is over crowded and she has no isolation area for sick animals and she has several who are sick! I purchased two sphynx kittens from her as Xmas presents for my family, each cat cost $1000 and was guaranteed to be healthy. I had the kittens examined by my vet and she deemed them both as "unfit for purchase" the kittens were promptly returned to the breeder.

Ms. Cicerello tried to persuade me to take two other kittens and this was the first time that I was allowed into the cattery, that was when I realized I made a purchase from a Cat Miller! I wanted no more cats from this unsavory breeder and requested a refund! However, she informed me that she did not have my $2000 to return to me because she spent it! I have been waiting for seven weeks for my refund of $2000 (she has the kittens & I have a sore butt & empty wallet!).

I have made phone calls to her, sent emails, and even a registered return receipt letter requesting my full refund to no avail! Now I am forced to take her to court and hope that the dirt-bag will finally pay me what I am owed! Who needs this kind of headache! Sphynx cats are wonderful and that is why I drove 13 hours in each direction to make this purchase since this wicked breeder was recommended to me by a reputable breeder...she was wrong.

I also had to place a deposit on the kittens in advance in order to hold the specific ones I wanted. Well one of the kittens was not the one I picked, it wasn't as nice looking but had a sweet personality (BAIT AND SWITCH!!). I would have kept them had they not been defective, but honestly who wants to spend $2000 on unwell cats of any breed? Stay away from this reprehensible breeder, she seems nice but there is a snake waiting to slither into your bank account!

If you see Catherine Cicerello at any of the CFA or TICA cat shows ask her where the heck my $2000 is.
