  On 01/28/2023 we officially adopted a kitten from Satraclan Munchkins. We hired a flight nanny to travel with Tip to meet us in ****** and she took a picture of him with gunk in his right eye. I immediately was very nervous about the type of business that he is running. I had asked my Flight nanny what was with his eye and she had replied that he didnt let her know of an issue and said that we would know about the issue already, in which we didnt. Provided us with some eye drops, because he said that kittens will get scared and thats why they have bad eyes on an airplane. We brought him to our vets the next day in which he was diagnosed with conjunctivitis and an upper respiratory infection. We thought that was it, but oh no he had an ear infection too and was also diagnosed with FIP (which only spreads between Cat f**** and a gross environment. This is our only cat, so there is no way that he got it here. FIP, if you dont know is a deadly disease that is spread throughout the kitten litter. We contacted **** as this was not caught by his vet, and in his contract it says anything that is not caught by his vet up to 1 year, is covered. He basically told me to stop talking to him, and only wanted to speak with my partner. After multiple attempts, his final resolution was that we give back our kitten and he will replace. #1: what makes you think we want a kitten from him again after what we just went through and #2: This kitten became a huge part of our family in a short amount of time. This place should be shut down if there is no financial composition to help out the people who are buying the kittens. I can understand stuff happens, and was expecting him to have problems later in life but not within the first couple of months. Especially when he came with problems too and he kept that from us.

  I purchased two munchkin kittens from ninos munchkin cattery in **********. The cost was $1400 which included air transportation and delivery to my house. They wanted me to send the money thru Zelle or ******* to *******. We sent the money ******* to ******* on April 12,3023. They told us the arrangements had already been prepared with alliance logistics. Short time later ******** from alliance logistics called me and the vet at the airport will only allow the kittens to fly in special crate that was climate controlled. Cost would be $1500 and I would be refunded 95% when the kittens were delivered. Told to pay they Zelle or purchase 3 $500 **************** cards from *******. At that time I new it was a scam and refused to pay anymore money. When I tried to text the owner of the cattery they told me they were at work but assured me the transportation was legit. Since then they do not answer me. ****** learned the hard way! If you see gorgeous kittens online , beware!!!!

So I received nothing and refuse to refund my money

  Munchkin Kitten Cattery got me on 8/6/22, I am writing this so no one else gets scammed by them. They have a really cute website and very easy to navigate. They answer your request right away. They start off by seeming very nice and caring for pets and make it sound like a family business. He speaks of wife (fake) and son (probably fake) as well. Everything seemed good until I called to ask for a receipt after I paid the $700. The man who goes by the name of ************************* tells me that he cannot provide one because he is not registered. I asked how can you be doing business then? He tells me he needs the money and wants to find good homes for kittens. As he was speaking I started to ******** a little late, I know, I guess I was excited to get this kitty), that was when I found all these horrible reviews about scamming. I used Zelle, and it made sense to me because I trusted through the conversation that they were a family business (dumb). Anyway, he begins to tell me the registration got destroyed in a fire. That story was ridiculous and I read some of the same from other people. He sent me a video of the kitten so I asked on the phone for a FaceTime to see the cat. He made up excuses that his son is on vacation and he does not know how to use FaceTime. Total nonsense. He is a liar and these people should be in jail and work hard like the rest of us. Absolutely disgusting.

  I was interested to buy a cat and so I went to their website and bought, he asked to zelle me and I did a zelle for $1250, he charged this along with shipping and now he did not send the cat and is asking for more money and not releasing the cat. Its a clear fraud done to me and many innocent people.

  On Wed, Jan 5, 2022, I emailed this business inquiring about purchasing a kitten. They indicated that the kitten would be $700 + $150 for shipping directly to my home. After signing the contract, they stated that I would be expected the cat w/in the next 1-2 business days. After receiving confirmation that my kitten had been approved for shipping, the shipping company asked me to pay $1,000 (which I paid) for a crate for the cat or they would not ship it, then another $1500 (which I paid) when the cat was shipped for health insurance or the cat would not continue to be transported and finally another $2,500 (which I did not pay) for something related to a quarantine release. My tracking # indicates that the kitten is at an airport in my state and is on hold b/c I have not paid the quarantine release fee. The company selling the kitten made no mention of any of these additional fees and I paid in full what the business was asking ($700 + $150 shipping) up front for the kitten.
