Precious Kittens Cattery = Precious Kittens Precious Kittens Scam artist - sells sick cats - sent me two cats/ both died soon after I received Vero beach, Florida

No one has asked me to comment on the rather mean comments made about the Precious Kittens Cattery, but I happened on them and my own sense of integrity compels me to state my experience with PreciousKittens Cattery which is EXACTLY OPPOSITE of the report filed by the person who says she had two kittens die. I am very sorry the person had two kittens die; that would be traumatic so maybe that is why the person would write such a mean report about a business so undeserving of such statements based on my experience.

My cat of 14years was killed. I was and am so sad. Finally I began to look on the Internet and happened on an adorable kitten named Snowflafe. I called, and Ms. Precious Mackey answered my many questions and supplied me with multiple credible references. I was very worried about spending the money, the kitten being shipped three thousand piles,and the kitten's health. Snowflake was the daughter of two cats born at Precious Kitten Cattery and at the equally outstanding business, Sweet Pea Kittens. I called before Thanksgiving.. We had to wait for all final vet checks to b done in Florida. She arrived in San Francisco in a special pet van the airline provided. We took the kitten to our vet right away and had all blood and related tests. little Snowflake was pronounced very healthy b our vet. in February we took little Snowflake back to our excellent vet, to be spayed.Pre-op tests all came back excellent and she healed quickly. our experience has been so very positive. Snowflake is bringing our family so much joy. We are grateful to both Catherine's and recommend them highly and without any reservation whatsoever. I have not had contact with Precious Cattery since the kitten was shipped. Ms. Mackey does not even know I read the very mean review. I felt my extremely positive experience with this cattery had to be brought forth so that anyone reading the other report would know there absolutely other people who have purchased her cats and have only one view, extreme gratitude. If I were ever in the situation to desire a future cat, I would actually go back to PreciousKittens or SWeetpea Kittens for sure.

Respectfully, Jamie

This is Precious Mackey with Precious Kittens Cattery.  It was disturbing to read your letter on this website in addition to the many other websites where you have copy and pasted the same letter of complaint.  As a reputable business and cattery owner of over 15 years, I am eager to resolve  this issue as soon as possible; however, in order to do so, I have a few vital questions and comments about your complaint.

1.  What is your name?  You posted this letter two years after the alleged transaction under an anonyms identity.  The first step to resolving this issue is to identify yourself.  Your story does not match any kitten sale that Ive incurred, so I cant even guess your identity.

2. Why didnt you contact me first?  You have taken the time to post this letter on the internet, but you did not actually contact me before doing so.  If Im not aware of the problem, I cannot fix the problem.

3. Exactly how did you purchase a cubby Persian from me in early 2010 when cubby Persians did not exist on my website until late 2011?

Living in Florida where there is a strict pet lemon law, I am required to have each kitten completely vet checked before sale.  This check up includes blood work, stool testing, vaccinations, and overall condition of the kitten.  My vet will not risk her licensing by signing a health certificate on a kitten with ringworm lesions.  In fact, youve indicated that the cubby Persian you purchased from me in early 2010, despite the fact that cubby Persians did not exist until late 2011, was shaved to hide ringworm lesions; however, this does not make any sense.  Shaving the coat of a cat with ringworm lesions would only expose the lesions to their fullest extent.

FIP (Feline Infections Peritonitis) is a fatal disease.  Every cat with FIP will die and usually at around 9 months of age.  If my breeders carried this disease, they would be dead or dying unable to reach sexual maturity in order to produce offspring yet I continue to produce kittens.  Not  to mention, what cattery owner would tell a consumer that their cattery is infected with FIP and ringworm?

I have come forth responding to your letter with nothing to hide.  I have revealed my name and contact information.  I kindly ask that you do the same.   Every kitten I place is sold with a signed contract and health certificate.  Please have all that information handy when contacting me.   My phone number is (772) 460-1795.  Also, feel free to contact my vet as a reference on the alleged health issues.  The office is located in Port St. Lucie, Florida.  Kindness Animal Hospital (772) 878-0100.  There are three (3) doctors on staff all who have examined my kittens for almost 10 years Dr. Eager, Dr. Provitola, and Dr. Daum.

As a side note to readers, I want to mention that shortly after this complaint letter posted, I was contacted by several SEO Reputation Management Companies asking that I utilize their services to remove the negative postings all for a large fee of course.  In fact, it was an SEO Reputation Management Company that made me aware of this complaint letter.  With all the peculiarities of this situation,  one has to wonder if SEO Reputation Management Companies are using these unregulated complaint boards as a forum to generate business.  Many of these Reputation Management Companies are run by a few people right from their home.  This is how they make a living its a con artists dream situation.  Create a problem for the business owner, and then offer services to solve the problem.  With google at their fingertips, they are able to access terminology to help create a complaint that appears legitimate.

Unfortunately, anyone  can post anything about anybody on an unregulated consumer complaint website with no validation or repercussions.  In fact, a poster can write a slanderous letter under one user name, then create another user name responding to their own complaint as  means to bolster its validity.  The complaint, being created with tag names specifically designed to appeal to search engines, places the business owners reputation in a vulnerable position thus in some cases  willing to pay the large fee in order to have the negative postings removed.  I chose not to take that route as I will not be a victim of extortion.  Instead I have faith in the consumers ability to distinguish valid complaints from those  made with malice intent.  In addition, consumers would do better to contact legitimate consumer services such as the Better Business Bureau where there are regulations and requirements to be met in order to place a complaint.

If you are a consumer and would like to contact me about this situation or any other situation posted about my cattery, please feel free to contact me at (772) 460-1795.  I am more than willing to supply further references in addition to the vet reference Ive supplied above.  Once again, I want to reiterate that in this forum,  anyone, can post anything, about anybody under an endless supply of user names.  This site does not have any protocols or requirements to post a complaint.  I ask that you please consider this upon further reading.

To the person or entity that placed this complaint, I anxiously await your phone call.  I am eager to discuss this matter with you and reach a resolution.  I will not respond to further communication via this board or any other message board.  If your intentions are genuine, a phone call is the appropriate method.  Should you choose to contact me via this message board, it will only solidify that your complaint is a fraud and your intentions are to smear my reputation for your own gain.
