I found this website while on a search to find purebred Siberian kittens as they are hypoallergenic. I came across Siberikittensiberians.com and everything about the breeders history and website seemed legit. I got in contact with the breeder and he gave me more information about the kittens and even offered me $400 off because I wanted to buy two. About a week later he asked for the final payment for the cats. He gave us an email for us to use in order to Zelle him the money. Ensuring the money was sent to the correct recipient, we told the man that we will send a single dollar before the final amount. He later emailed me saying that he got the dollar and for me to send the rest of the amount that was due. However, I hadn’t sent the $1 yet. His reasoning behind this mistake was sketchy but we get past this and continue to move on with the process. He waited about 2-3 days for the paperwork to process which we later figured out, he took 2-3 days to ensure we didn’t change our minds and pull the money back. Today we were told that the kittens have been driven to the airport and everything is good and ready to go. Kittens supposedly shipped to Boston from New York. I then receive a call. I was told that the kittens can’t make their connecting flight because they need health insurance. The shipping company charges us over $2k for the health insurance. We were annoyed but tried to send the money anyway. We attempted to send money through two different credit cards and both were denied. The shipping company then asked us to send money through several different unsecured websites. We ended up using Zelle. Couple hours go by and we receive another phone call. We are told that the kittens can’t make their flight because they damaged the crate that they were in and that this happened because they weren’t supplied one large enough; however the first airport had no issue with the size of the crate and they didn’t ask for health insurance. They asked us to send another $2k. We finally decided that we were not spending anymore money. We confronted the breeder about him scamming us and we have heard nothing back and have not received a refund that was promised in the contract. My father researched the breeders number and found him listed in many pet scamming websites under different names.
