Internet Safety Tips – Beware of ONLINE SCAMMERS!!⚠️

 Buying a Persian or Himalayan Kitten on the Internet in today’s world has become next to impossible with all the online scammers. One thing you NEED to know and REMEMBER, THERE ARE MORE ONLINE SCAMMERS THAN THERE ARE ACTUAL CAT BREEDERS!!!! 

And NEVER EVER think you are buying a Persian Kitten for $500 – $1200 on the Internet and having it shipped to you! If you think you have actually found one that cheap, the ONLY way you hand over the money is if you are meeting the breeder in person PERIOD! We receive tons of phone calls and emails every day from people who have been scammed by fake websites. These websites look authentic, but they stole the pictures from Google images. These ruthless overseas scammers toss together a quick 5-7 page website, slap up some stolen pictures, pick up a $20 prepaid track phone, and bam, they are in business! They prefer to conduct the kitten sale through text messages or emails since they do not speak good English. 

Scammers are out there everywhere preying on your desire to own a beautiful purebred kitten at a low-cost price!! They know you will fall in love with the cute pictures and not even question if they actually own the kitten in the picture. They are fast talkers and want to move the sale along quickly.

These scammers are out in FULL FORCE!! Nearly 80% of the people who contact us have already been scammed once or twice.

Our website is over 17 years old, so we have produced a lot of kitten pictures throughout the years. These scammers target us and use our pictures to scam people, therefore, we have created this page to help expose them.

On, this page you will find a list of all the fraudulent kitten websites we are aware of. We have taken a screenshot of their website and will list their so-called “cattery name”. Though we have several listed, there are new ones that pop up every day, so please be careful. You know the old saying, “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.”

If the person is NOT a scammer, they should be able to produce a video of several of “their” available kittens playing together. Individual video clips are nice, but group videos validate that the person actually has all those “available kittens” in their possession.

You ask for a video where you can see at least 4 of their current available kittens playing and interacting together. If they cannot produce that, there is a reason, and I would NOT trust them.

Here is an example showing 4+ of our available kittens as of 8/11/2021 playing together.

Tips to spot a scammer

Below is a list of the most common signs of a scam site and tips that you may be dealing with an actual online scammer.

# 1 Tip – They prefer doing communication via text message or Facebook messenger because they can not speak good English!!  REMEMBER THIS FACT!!! 

They will NEVER offer videos of their available kittens playing in groups!! Look at their “Available Kitten Page”, then tell them you would like to see at least one group video of those kittens, even if it’s 4 or 5 of them. I guarantee they WILL NOT be able to provide it!!!!

Their phone numbers usually lead to an automated Google Voice Account or Text Mail Subscriber where you will be directed to leave your number and the scammer will TEXT you back. You will not hear a real human voicemail! 

They have very small 5-8 page websites! THIS IS KEY! Pay attention to their website!! They toss together quick and easy websites that a five-year-old could build, these sites take less than an hour to build and usually have about 5-8 pages (Available kittens, About Us, Contact Us & Testimonials) Of course the “testimonials” are always fake and written by them. 

Bookmark and watch their website for a few months. You will notice they change their cattery name every 6 months or less! 

Pet scam sites never list the kitten’s color because they do not know the actual coat colors. A true breeder always lists the kitten’s color.

Pet scam sites can never offer you newborn kitten pictures because they never had those kittens when they were babies, all they have are stolen images off of Google or Pinterest. When you ask them for newborn pictures, they will not be able to provide them.

Pet scam sites never list the kitten’s date of birth, either. On a true cat breeder’s website, you will see several available kittens with similar dates of birth, not just a bunch of random kitten pictures that don’t even look like they came from the same cattery!!

Never, ever trust paid advertisements! If the cattery was truly long-standing and legitimate, it would pull up naturally in search engines due to longevity. Paid advertisements are always questionable, but especially true when involving animals.
