Hi everyone, Many of you have probably read my last thread in this forum about the sticky situation my friend is in with the buyer of her kitten. The breeder sent her a copy of their breeding contract which we're going to edit for her to make sure everything makes sense (language barrier, so...

Just spoke to my friend. The breeder sent her a copy of the breeding contract for her to edit b/c they want to make sure it makes sense so the lady won't find any loopholes. We don't know how to approach this situation now that the breeder has agreed to let the lady breed with a breeding...

OK, the wife tried her best to write my friend an email in English. She is russian and doesn't speak english well, so translations are done by her husband. This time she is writing by herself. She said she would have never sold the kitten to this woman, but given the circumstances, she is doing...

She didn't answer the neuter question that my friend asked but she told my friend she was going to email the breeder to get his papers. We then spoke to the breeder and she had asked to buy his papers off them. The breeder wants 500 + breeding/showing contract and the lady agreed. The breeder...

Spoke to the breeder. They are concerned with this, thank goodness. They even said they are worried she will produce bad quality kittens. They asked my friend to forward all the emails to them, which she did earlier today. Meanwhile, my friend emailed the buyer just to ask how the kitten was...

Oh nono, my friend lives in Alberta, so it's within the same country. The breeder's husband is going to call us in an hour when he gets off work. The breeder herself is Russian and can't really speak english. She called us and we didn't understand what she was saying. We just made out some...

FerrisCat, I believe the breeder has the papers. It was never transferred to my friend's name since the contract states papers would only be transferred upon proof of neuter. Since my friend didn't have that done, she never got the papers and the buyer certainly doesn't have them. She is...

Here was one of the original e-mail correspondence my friend and the buyer had. In one of her very first emails, she wrote to the buyer, "However, this kitten would still have to be neutered between the age of 6-8 months."

My friend is beside me and dictating as I type this. She is in a sticky situation and we would appreciate ANY help we can get. Four months ago, she purchased a kitten from a breeder with a contract. Due to some circumstances that came up, she had no choice but to ask the breeder to take the...

Thanks! I will give them some more time before I make a decision, but I'm curious - what other sicknesses can the stress cause aside from UTIs and crystals? I didn't know this before so it's interesting to me.

Thanks, I'll try the vanilla and towel trick. I tried feeding them on opposite sides of the door as per someone else's suggestion but no luck. My female wouldn't eat. I'm worried because the aggression on her part seems to be getting worse and not any better at all. We also found a small bald...

I recently took in a male kitten to join my 3 year old girl. It's been almost three weeks and she still attacks him every chance she gets. For that reason, they are kept separate and allowed supervised meetings 1-2 times per day but they are usually cut short due to the aggression. They are both...

Thank Lizita, that really helps. My brother is getting a Cornish Rex because he has bad cat allergies and this breed is the only one his body seems to tolerate. With all other cats, within half hour of being in the same house as them, he gets an asthma attack...

My brother is looking into adding a cat into his family and contacted a breeder. The breeder has one loving male kitten looking for a home. However, this kitten currently has an umbilical hernia that the breeder will repair at their cost prior to releasing him to his new home. We're wondering -...

I added a kitten to my household a couple of months back. I figured my three year old adult cat might want a friend since he seems bored and sleeps all the time. I'm beginning to think though that he is merely tolerating the other cat and doesn't necessarily *like* his presence. Let me know what...

Thanks for your comments. I was really only concerned about the process of purchasing an import and how to be sure I'm safe. That's why I said in the first post that the various reasons why I decided on a Russian kitten is not important - I didn't want to get into all this. Was simply concerned...

I looked everywhere for months before, but did not find a breeder that had this color. It is a silver shaded green eyed. I will look and ask around again as I agree I would be much more confident, but I really don't think I can find one. Thanks !

Now I'm even more paranoid I am going to email some of the other Russian breeders to ask them. But I see that they have this breeder saved as a friend on Facebook, too, so I don't know if they're friends already. Other than that, I don't know how to get in contact with the judges. It is a...

I am in the US and I am importing a kitten from Russia. Obviously, this is going to be a very costly thing, so I want everything to go smoothly. I was the one who initially contacted the breeder inquiring about her kittens and she warned me it would be very costly and to check out local breeders...

Thanks for your input. I adopted both my rescues when they were 8-9 weeks young although I know ideally, they should be at least 12 weeks before leaving mom. It was a rescue situation though so the mom wasn't there. Anyway I'm wondering why 4 months and not 3 or 5? I'm curious as to the reason...
