******************************************************* is a scam. They sell you a kitten online and have you send the money to the breeder. If you choose delivery the scam continues with Elite Animal Travels. I believe they both may be the same person(s). They tell you, you need to order a heated shipping crate, pet insurance and permits. Again sending cash which they say will be refunded. We did all of this and no kitten was delivered and no money was refunded.Initial Complaint

I was doing research on Maine Coon kittens in the area I was staying I found a kitten I fell in love with it. I contacted the breeder who had testimonies on the website and sent me pages of information to fill out about my home, and all kinds of other questions.I sent her the money via Zelle, which I thought was strange no other forms were excepted and then when it was time to deliver the kitten, the delivery company insisted I need to pay **** more dollars but I needed to pay it to the seller which I thought was weird and I never received my kitten. The name of the business is dolly blue Maine Coon kittens.Initial Complaint

I reached out to epic main **** cattery on ******** and Instagram about purchasing a cat they said was available. Long conversations, via messenger and text. They sent many photos and video. They took a $1000 deposit via Zelle. When I asked for TICA membership information and business license etc- they refused. Clear this was not a legitimate business. Asked for refund, and they went silent.
