Ragdoll kittens reviews and complaints

I also bought a ragdoll kitten from Matt. My kitten was covered with ringworm, had ear mites, fleas, and round worms. She was so filthy and smelt like urine. I have picked up stray cats off the street that are 100% in better condition then what I purchased from Matt Galazin. Google him! Lots of complaints! He needs to have all animals taken from his home!

I am sorry to hear that you lost your kitten. Coronavirus is a benign virus which causes colds in humans ( human specific) bovine, dogs the list goes on. Coronavirus itself is not deadly, BUT if a kitten has a compromised immune system it can turn to FIP, which can NOT be confirmed on a living animal. The only test to confirm a kitten has Coronavirus is a fecal or one derived directly from body cavitie fluids confirmed via PCR DNA/RNA test, that test alone does NOT confirm FIP, simply that the cat has been in contact with the Coronavirus and is shedding it, please note the coronavirus is not one single virus it is several different strains of a cold: type of virus umbrellaed under the name Caronavirus, which is why any antigen or DNA/RNA test can not quantify a predisposition to FIP or confirm FIP, as only 1 strain can turn into FIP, unless the aforementioned mutate to FIP. It is estimated nearly half of all domestic felines will have some sort of positive result if tested for Corona Virus, with varying numbers greater than that in catteries or high number households and rescues. The FIP itself is not what kills a cat or kitten it is the kitten or cats bodies immune systems overreaction which causes death, which cannot be predicted.

While you should of received a healthy kitten from the start, it is more than probable that this kitten was positive for Coronavirus, and it mutated while in your care, and highly unlikely that it had mutated prior as it is not a spontaneous event. Unless you had your vet do a thorough exam and testing within the first few days in which you had the kitten for DNA/RNA status of Coronavirus.

Ideally one would hope that every precautionary test has been run on her cats, and her kittens, but because of the elusive and unpinpointed nature of the Coronavirus(s) there is little protocol besides hygiene that can eradicate it in the breeding environment. It is imperative of any kitten buyer to do their due diligence when they buy a kitten, both before and after acquiring their kitten, responsibility alone does not soley fall on the breeder as once the kitten leaves they cannot control a mutation or a particular strain of virus from changing, as they themselves are not god. In turn if they have had a kitten who had any form of URI prior to placement, I believe it should be disclosed to the buyer, so they may make an informed decision.

Ringworm is devastating. That is reason enough to avoid a breeder. FIP coming from one cattery more than once is a great concern . It means that the corona virus is not clearing the environment . FIP is NOT however genetic or contagious. Every Time a kitten gets the corona / cold virus i, the virus has another chance to get FIP. The Occurrence of FIP is random and unpredictable . It is simply that more occurrences lead to more opportunities to have it morph into FIP. Corona is spread via dirty litter boxes ; it recurs due to crowding.

We are sadden about the loss of our chocolate siamese kitten, due to FIP
diagnosis last week. We put him down last Thursday.
His name was Leo, and we were anxious to get him before Christmas.
So we picked him up around Pottstown, Dec 23, paid $225 cash. He did not
Have papers, but was a purebred, and health guaranteed for FIV and leukemia,
But not know anything about FIP. We met Matt in parking lot and picked up the
Cat, paying him cash only received a generic paper about him.
But no contact number or name. This should of put up a red flag.
His first vet appointment was devastating since we found out he had ringworm,
And a respiratory infection. The whole house was attacked with this ringworm,
Me, husband, two dogs. I want others to know that there really so called breeders
Who do not care but like to get money selling sick kittens.
This is awful and hope he has problems sleeping for ever.
Leo was with us 3 months, and filled our hearts with love.
We will always remember him. Jamie & Cindy
Respiratory infection and could not meow. But he was happy cat and very loving.
We feel that there are sneaky people out there selling sick kittens to make money,
And then disappear.
I did email the breeder and he said he would refund money but have only gotten
$50 towards the cat

And a upper respiratory disease.

Obviously, the person who posted this complaint...does not know about kittens and how vulnerable they are to their environment and contracting communicable diseases. FIP cannot be detected by a person who has sold a kitten.I also purchased kittens from this family, the kittens are the nicest, healthiest, and most affectionate kittens. Our family has sent many of our friends to get a kitten from this person, who is not a breeder. God bless the person who wrote such nasty derogatory statements with ill intent.To mame and injure some one's love for animals. I can attest that I, a Christian love the kittens we got from this person. We love our kittens, who have become some of the sweetest and loving pets we have. We purchased the kitttens in 2008, and 2009.Will definitely call them again, if ever looking for a kitten. Thank you, most pleased in Pa.

Alot of greedy, uncaring, ignorant cat breeders use over and over again queens that are known for throwing kittens that have had FIP and will not pull those queens out of the breeding program.

These unethical ignorant breeders just care about MONEY, not the cats they are breeding.

One particular cat breeder comes to mind, a wanna be cat breeder named is Melanie Lowry of the Lollimops/Catinallity/Sugar Kisses/Precious Persians/WestCoastMews Catteries, that is how many names she has for 1 cattery. Read about her: this will give you an idea what money means to this horrible creature.
