Description

I was looking to purchase an 11 wk old Maine Coon kitten. I filled out the online contact form and person responded immediately, told me Dasi the kitten was available. I could cash app him $300 to hold the kitten. After asking several questions they asked me for another $300 to start processing the micro chip information. I sent him another $300 through cash app. Later i spoke to him on the phone and he wanted another $500 to get the paperwork completed and take ownership of the cat. Also to send me tracking information to have the kitten shipped to me. I started getting a bad feeling. I did some research and found that this online company has used several different cattery names. I also did a Google image search on the photos they sent me and the same pic came up under the other sites that have been taken down. So im out $600, heartbroken, and i feel like a fool. Do not buy cats online.
