Description

There is a Facebook page called Cats adoption foundation. These people who were falsely representing them, I think, scammed us for over $500. They were very pressuring and when only accept money from Zelle or an institution that had no recourse they won’t take a credit card and then they tell you the cat is ready to ship but the airline needs a $600.99 crate . They get their money, but you don’t get a kitten. The couples name on the the adoption papers, which look appropriate, are Michael and TORRE Barnes. Their number is 917-765-9885
