I *** ******* ** ******** * ******* ****** *** ***** *** ******* ******* ******* ******** ***** *** * **** ***** *** ******** **** ***** ****er and email and indicated what cat you were interested in. I immediately got a response and from Theadore B*****, who is the supposed breeder. He informed me that the cat I was interested in, a blue bicolor ragdoll named Hazel, had gone through several health screenings, was registered under the international cat association. They said that Hazel would cost 800 USD and they accepted payment either apple pay or chime. They assured me that Hazel came with 1 year health written health guarantee, first set of vaccines, dewormed x2, vet certificate signed by a licensed vet, litter box, litter scoop, food/water dish, toys, sample of food, lifetime breeder support, a kitten pedigree, health records, 1 year written health garantee, GCCF registration card, and then it repeated again that it included a certificate signed by a liscensed vet. He then asked a further background question about my home. I responded that that was great news and wished to adopt Hazel. He quickly sent me a contract to sign, where it stated that there was a full right of return and full refund within the first 30 days; we quickly exchanged emails back and forth. Once I paid the 800 dollars for Hazel I did not recieve a receipt but only instructions for Hazel's food schedule and that he would take Hazel the next day to be shipped through an agency that provided a nanny - There was a sense of urgency. The next day, after everything seemed to be going according to schedule, I was informed that Hazel needed a special carrier and vaccine shot in order to travel as he had gotten some sort of fever, the carrier and shot were 910 dollars; I informed them that I did not have an extra 910 dollars to spend and that if they could cover that expense and I could reinburse them at a later time. I had also mentioned that I would be traveling soon and that if they could provide me with a veterinarian document that stated he could travel internationally with me. I did not get a response on either account. When I stated that I had somehow managed to find the money from somewhere, the travel agency responded right away with a phone number to use on apple pay (###-###-####) and (###-###-####). There was a sense of urgency but since I was worried about Hazel I did not think twice. Before making the 911 payment, I emailed both the breeder and the agency stating that I did not wish to have hazel if he was ill, and that I had paid for a healthy kitten - therefore I would rather be given another kitten. They assured me that Hazel was a healthy cat, but to ensure a safe flight those measures would have to be put in place. The agency was called "world freight shipping agency," and I was emailing back and forth with them via this email: [email protected]. When I implored with them that I had the money and that I had tried to pay through apple pay but it did not work and the bank said it was not the card's fault, they insisted we try the next day and that they would provide Hazel and the nanny room and board. That night I asked for videos of Hazel to ensure the cat was okay, but did not receive any videos until the next day - even though the agency's responses had been very quick until that point. I only recieved word the following morning - which I was beginning to suspect was very strange. Then, once Hazel had supposedly landed, which I was told would be a 45-55 min flight but was only texted after an hour and a half, they said the airport was processing Hazel's documents - but there was a long delay. additionally, they said that in order to transfer Hazel to my home, I needed to pay a 652.18 fine that would be refundable and I would receive a receipt - which I never did. Then, I was told Hazel and the nanny would have to stay in a hotel again because they had yet to recieve the proper paperwork to leave the airport - and to facilitate the process would be 800 dollars more. That is when I said they were being irresponsable and that I demanded a refund. I have not heard back since. They never specified hotel and airport names, and the nanny would respond very late to my messages.
