Bailey's Ragdolls review: HCM 27

Yes, I offered her a free kitten if the kitten dies; but the kitten is living. I will follow my contract in regards to replacing the kitten and vet bills. My contract like every other breeder out there pays no vet bills. I have had every single breeder in my cattery HCM tested and have the reports from UC Davis in California should anyone want proof---all my breeders that I now have are negative/negative, which I stated to this individual in the email that was sent to her. I had two breeders that tested negative/positive and they are now gone. I do not use them. Also, I have the Vet report from this individual should anyone like to see the report---one of the statements made by the Vet is that her cat was "suspect of having saddle block thrombosis" instead of what she stated above. She also bought a second kitten from me that has no problems or if there are problems, she has not emailed me of any problems of the second kitten. I have offered to replace the kitten, but I will not pay vet bills as stated in my contract that she signed and she knew about this. I have the signed contract if anyone would like to see the contract that she and I signed. If anyone would like to discuss this issue with me, please call me at [protected]. She should not be purchasing any animals at all if she is not willing to take financial care of them. My contract also states " to provide adequate veterinary care and vaccinations", which she stated she would comply. I do not know of any breeders out there that would pay her for the rest of her cat's life $50 dollars per month. I have also had every single breeder in my cattery tested for the combo test, which test for feline leukemia, feline aids and heartworms---every single breeder tested negative---all these test were performed by Dr. Tanya Cook of Gwinnett Animal Clinic at [protected]. This individual is being vindictive because I will not pay her money for the rest of the cats life and I refuse. I have turned everything over to my Attorney----all of her emails, all of my emails regarding this issue, her contract that she signed and will give my Attorney anything else that he may need to resolve this situation of placing negative information on the "Complaints Board.com" regarding my cattery. Also, I only use my Attorney to protect my business, which any breeder would or should do the same if they want to protect their business or they can let someone like this individual walk all over them.

I will not pay her money when she signed the contract that states "I pay no Vet bills". I also just had my yearly inspection done by the GA Dept of Agriculture and everything was perfect. If anyone would like any information regarding my inspection, you are free to call my GA State Inspector at [protected]---this is his cell number and he has stated that I could give out his cell number should anyone like to discuss my cattery. My GA State Inspector's name is Mike Luery. My cattery is spotless, I have spent thousands of dollars on testing plus I have beautiful and sweet babies. As stated, if you have any quesitons, please call me at [protected]-cell or you may email me at baileysrags@gmail.com. I will not answer any responses within Complaints Board.com since my Attorney will be filing paperwork with Complaints Board.com. If you want me to repsond to any questions whatsoever, then you will need to either call my cell phone number or email me.

I have taken the opporunity to do a rebuttal to her complaint and now I will have my Attorney handle the rest of this issue concerning this negative complaint against me.

Thank you.

Respectfully Submitted,

I bought a "so called" ragdoll from this breeder. I do not believe that this tortoise shell cat is a ragdoll. We love her just the same but no way is she a ragdoll. She has no characteristics of a ragdoll. She only weighs 6 pounds and acts like ordinary cat. I did not get papers which I understood but little upset that we paid hundreds of dollars for ordinary cat that was passed off as ragdoll. Even paid for airline ticket to have shipped to us. I could have went to local pound for a lot less money.

You signed a spay/netuer contract. You have not sent me proof that the kitten has been altered. I would be more than happy to send you your TICA paperwork. About 75% of the people never request the paperwork, but I have all the forms saved in a drawer and will never throw one away.
Also, in regards to your kitten not being sweet and loving, I would be more than happy to replace your kitten. You have never sent me an email in regards to proof that you had your kitten altered nor have you ever sent me an email in regards to your kitten not being sweet. I work with m customers.
Also, every single breeder that I have is a purebred Ragdoll and I have TICA proof of all my breeders.
The first that I hear of you being unhappy is through a complaint.
As far as purchasing an airline ticket, every customer pays for airline tickets whom is not within driving distance. I have some customers that drive up to ten hours to pick up a kitten. I cannot control the cost of shipping fees and in general, every breeder charges the customers shipping fees. We cannot afford to ship your kitten for free.
I had a customer this week call me and tell me how happy she is with my Ragdoll that I sold to her. She also shipped back a kitten to another breeder within the 72 hours, which I will not mention the name of the breeder as I am not out to discredit any breeder or any customer.
I would be more than happy to replace your kitten. You bring me the kitten and I will replace with another kitten.
I can provide to you or any customer hundreds of emails that I have received over the past eight years of breeding how happy people are with the personality of my kittens. Perhaps your kitten got stressed or she was just not the mold fit that a Ragdoll normally is.
I cannot replace money, but even with the contract being past the exchange time; I would be more than happy to replace your kitten. You bring me your kitten and I will give you another kitten of the same type. If you purchased traditional kitten, then I will replace with a traditional kitten.
I had no reason to believe that you were unhappy since you have never sent me an email about the personality of your kitten nor have you provided me with proof that you had your kitten altered in order to receive the paperwork. I do not provide anyone with paperwork unless they provide me proof that the kitten was altered since it would be extremely easy for anyone to breed the kitten with the paperwork. I just bought two of my kittens that had been bred by a customer and had DNA testing done to prove that she had bred the two kittens when they became adult Ragdolls.
Once again, I would be more than happy to replace your kitten. You bring me the kitten and I will replace with another kitten.
Also, you can email me at baileysrags@gmail.com or you can call me at [protected] with any questions.

Why don't you just practicd early spay/neuter, Rosetta?

Also, just because something is registered with TICA means nothing. You could breed a ragdoll with a Sphynx, a Munchkin, or a shelter cat and still register it with TICA as a ragdoll. I have to agree with the poster above - a lot of the cats in your cattery look not much like ragdolls. They just look like moggies. There's nothing wrong with a moggy, but people shouldn't have to pay ragdoll prices for a moggy. And if they don't look like ragdolls, what guarantee is there that they will act like ragdolls? Do you tell people that minks and solids, though they can be registered with TICA, are still unaccepted variants of the ragdoll and can't be shown in championship? Again, being registered in TICA means nothing.

My Vet will not spay/neuter until the kitten is six months of age. Are you a Vet? Different breeders breed and raise their Ragdolls differently and at least 99% of my customers do not believe in early spay/neuter. If your comments continue, I will without hesitation turn all of this over to my Attorney so you need to let it go. Do you guys have nothing better to do with your time that to bash breeders. Yes, I do tell all my customers that the solids and minks cannot be shown and they seem to not care so why should it bother you unless you are just out to destroy people. You can show minks in Europe, but you cannot show them in the United States. You knew when you bought the kitten that I did not spay or neuter and I will not spay or netuer my kittens at 11 or 12 weeks of age because I do not believe in it nor does my Vet. So if you want to continue this ordeal, I will turn over everything to my Attorney. Why are you concerned about what everyone else pays for what you call a moggy---why is it even your business. If TICA does not mean anything, then why bring it up on Complaints Board.com. Does it give your pleasure bringing up issues that are viewed different by different breeders. Why not pick up thousands of other breeders that breed the solids and minks----at least half of the Ragdolls breeders are breeding as you so call "Moggies". I am turning over the IP address to my Attorney because you seem to have nothing better to do with your time. All my Ragdoll breeders and kittens have an SBT number and no they are not all traditional kittens. I breed traditional, minks, solids, calicos, sepia minks and my Ragdoll kittens are absolutely stunning. I have numerous customers who I have copies of their emails how thrilled they are with their kittens. All my breeders have been HCM tested, they have been tested for feline leukemia, feline aids and heartworms. The rest is my business how I breed as long as I have healthy, sweet and beautiful kittens. If you do not like my kittens or do not like how I do business, then do not purchase from me. The United States has more Ragdolls breeders than we can count so go to one of those breeders and quit harassing me. Have you personally checked out my home, my kittens and my Vet? If not, then you should try to keep your opinions to yourself unless you want me to pursue these issues with an Attorney. My house is so clean that you can eat off the floors. My cats or my kittens do not have ringworm, ear mites or fleas. I am licensed with the GA Dept of Agriculture. Let the people judge for themselves instead of trying to destroy my cattery. I will not under any circumstances have my ktitens spayed or netuered at 3 and 4 months---I am against it and I believe that I still live in America where I am entitled to run my cattery how I best see fit. I am the one who does the cleaning, buys my breeders and spends practically every waking moment with my Ragdoll babies so try letting up since there are at least 50% or more breeders out there breeding the same solids and minks that I breed. Try picking on someone else for a change. I invite anyone out there into my home to come and see how I run my cattery, how well my kittens are treated, how socialized they are, how sweet they are and every single kitten is vet checked and shots up-to-date before they leave. If there is an issue that you disagree with me on, why can you not be honest enough to pick up the phone or either email me. I do not breed my Ragdolls with Sphynx, a Munchkin or any shelter kittens and your statement is absolutely insulting, but I guess you have nothing better to do with your time than to constantly re-hash the same issues over and over. If there is anyone out there that would like to speak to me concerning Ragdolls --- the traditional, the solids or the minks; please either email me at baileysrags@gmail.com or pick up the phone and call me at [protected]. I am open to suggestions other than I will not have a kitten cut on at three months of age---I am against it and I will stand up for what I believe in. I hope that this answers your questions as to why I do not practice early spay/neuter. If there are any other questions that you would like answered, please email me or call me. It is much easier than taking the chance of getting sued. If anyone would like the name and phone number of my Vet, please let me know. If anyone would like the name and number of my GA Dept of Agriculutre State Inspector, please let me know. Did I miss something since some people want to keep this running on Complaints Board.com. I have already called and told the family with the HCM complaint that I would replace her cat. I have told the customer with Cornona virus complaint that I would replace her cat if anything happens even if there are 99% of cats that have the corona virus. What else do you want from me? I am not going to go out of business to make you happy because I love breeding and raising the Ragdolls. I only want to make the customers happy, but evidently since we have a world of free speech; you choose to make everything sound negative. Let the customers decide if they like my kittens because there are only a very few over the year that complain and it usually ends up being from friends of other Ragdolls breeders generally speaking. I am not out to bash any breeder. If they choose to practice early spay/neuter, then that is their business---not mine. Ever how other breeders choose to run their Cattery if their business and I could care less as long as they are not abusing their Ragdoll babies or their breeders. Regards, Rosetta Bailey of Baileys Ragdolls

I think you owe me an apology for the phone call that I received from you at 8:30 at night. I told you it wasn't me!

Wish we would have read all this before purchasing from this breeder we got a sick kitten too then she replaced it with another sick kitten. Both died and her "Contract" says she doesn't have to replace it again. All I can say is look for another breeder!

I bought a Ragdoll from Rosetta and she is perfect. Great health & great disposition, absolutely beautiful. I will do business with Bailey's ragdolls again.

Sorry about all of your babies. :-(

I have recently purchased two kittens from Bailey. They, too, came to me sick, and after a round of anit-biotics, are still sick, 5 weeks later. At least she told me they were coming to me sick, I just didn't expect that it would take so long for them to get well. What is more maddening to me is that she sent them to me, one with ring worm. and didn't even tell me! She claims that the ring worm was "gone", but if you know anything about ring worm, it is very difficult to get rid of. She claims that the stress could have reignited the fungus, which is true, but to not even tell me that they had been exposed, is just bad business...The medication cost $400 and they are still on it. I haven't been able to incorporate them into our family's lives because they have to be isolated so that the fungus doesn't spread. Overall, my kittens are loving, but I would definitely find a different breeder, and not put them on a plane next time, just to be sure...

I have also received a kitten from Bailey's ragdolls very recently, and although she is gorgeous there have been multiple issues from the get go. I had asked the breeder if there were any health problems she was aware of via email before I went to visit and she assured me no and that she has never had a problem ever (which I was very skeptical of as I was aware of this site). I signed that she looked healthy (I got maybe a minute to look) because I'm no vet and she did "appear" healthy.

Little did I know that I had purchased a kitten with a URI and I have NOW discovered a couple weeks later that she has ringworm and very likely came with it, which I fully believe all information considered. I tried to give a lot of benefit of the doubt but I think that these things should have been disclosed when asked if there was any awareness of prior or existing health conditions. It is getting ridiculous and I should have been more cautious after reading multiple comments where the same things happened to other people. The breeder is responsive to emails/texts but BE CAREFUL as it is not normal for all of this to be present. THIS IS ALL IN 2 WEEKS!

I was just looking through my mountain of paperwork and bills in the box I have from my little boy who passed June 25, 2017. I'm not over losing him and I can't get rid of his things including the paperwork I received upon purchase. First he was only 8 weeks old, should have never been taken from mother that young, I didn't know at the time. Since my short 4 stressful years with my little one, I could easily go to vet school as he had so many problems and I researched everything, He had HCM which causes saddle thrombosis! The weekend he died in my arms, on his very few attempts to walk that day, he was dragging his back legs. He was a tough one little guy. I had taken him to Gainsevile Uof F and they said HCM indeed causes saddle thrombosis. Sorry for rambling, point is, on his adoption papers, the dame is Baileyragdolls Nutmeg. Just an FYI for anyone who's purchased a ragdoll from Baileys.

We have purchased two kittens from Ms. Rosetta and they are absolutely adorable. We purchased Mr. Peepers in December of 2018 and then purchased another for a relative in February of 2019. We never experienced any health issues with either kitten. Our vet always goes on and on about how beautiful and healthy he is! I have never been around cats like these. People can not believe that Mr. Peepers is actually a cat. He rides in a wagon, goes shopping in a stroller, loves clothes and is sweet enough to be a therapy cat for a hospital. We are thinking about purchasing another for a therapy cat to visit the Children’s Hospital. We have never experienced any health problems and received out paperwork just like the contract stated. Mr. Peepers is going on 14 pounds and is now about a year and a half old. The other kitten we bought is now over 10 pounds and is also sweet and in perfect health.

I put a deposit on a Ragdoll male kitten and have not heard back from Rosetta in regards to when we can pick him up. I am feeling very concerned now after reading all of this...I have texted her and I have emailed her and no response :( Any advice?

My rag doll Callie was purchased from Rosetta 11 years ago. She is a beautiful and healthy princess . I’m sad to read these comments, but I had a good experience with a kitten that has been a part of our family for many years. Never been sick and still full of life .
