Description

I found the referenced breeder on Facebook and made a deposit on a Scottish Fold Kitten. The arrangements agreed to were $500 “rehoming fees” with a $250 deposit which I paid on June 15. I paid through Zelle to [email protected]. On June 16, 2023, they emailed me the purchase agreement stating the same information as above ($500 total with $250 deposit, balance due upon delivery of kitten). They specifically stated that the kitten was AKC registered. The contract terms state $250 deposit with balance due upon pick up of the kitten. The pickup date was in the contract - June 29, 2023 at 531 Renaud Drive in Lafayette, LA. Then they urgently messaged me and asked for a vet fee of $150 to be paid immediately to a completely different email address of [email protected] which I refused because this vet fee had never been mentioned in any of our conversations. I did tell them I would pay the balance due at pick up per the contract. Once they realized I wasn’t paying any additional money via the internet they blocked my conversations on Facebook and have not answered any of my emails. They have not contacted me since and did not refund my deposit.
