skyshasphynx cattery Female Spyhnx kitten

Well i purchased a female Spyhnx kitten from Elizabeth Largent on 02/25/10 an within me having my kitten it became sick with FiP.I only had the kitten only 30 days an it became very sick with no cure for its symptons, later on i had to make the choice to put it to sleep before talkig to Elizabeth she stated that she was sorry for my lost an she did nothing else for me but to tell me that i would have to wait for a new litter of kittens, all i wanted in return was my full refund of the kitten.Then she stated that she did not want to refund my cash but to offer me another kitten when one comes avaliable .I beleive her kitten was sick prior of selling her to me because within the first week my kitten had a upper respitory issue which my vetenerian later told me this was the first signs of FIP Which is a deadly disease with no cure for it, you can not tell the symptons right away sometimes it might take weeks or maybe years my vet told me.So Buyer beware of this lady because now she does not even return my phone calls after all that i been through you would think she would want to do the right thing.So now i have no choice but to sue her for vet bills of taking care of a sick kitten that i had.I have tried to contact her for the refund of my kitten of 1200.00 dollars but she refuses so i will sue for vet bills plus the cost of my female kitten an the troubles i had to go through with the whole process.Also i have a male spyhnx cat which i purchased from a different breeder an had no troubles with him until i brought my female kitten from Elizabeth an now my male kitten is starting to sneeze like my female kitten, you can look up this disease an find out the symptoms for yourself but if your cat or kitten show signs of these symptoms there is no cure for it what so ever your cat or kitten will die instantly with complications breathing an so on.SO stay as far from this breeder as possible because you might get a sick kitten that will probaly have this disease, also there is no symptoms right away so beware!

This is his wife.I just wanted to put my 2 cents in since everyone else is.First of all my husband called ELizabeth PRIOR to putting our baby to sleep and ELIZABETH suggested to go ahead and put the kitten to sleep since she was in pain.I would like to know where the hell you went to school and do you have a license to diagnois /treat animals?Because our vet IS licensed and she informed us that the out kitten died of FIP.Now with in a short time of purchasing our baby ( that was her name and we treated her like one) she had runny eyes and sneezing.My husband would get up in the night to doctor her and around this time ( a few weeks after purchasing her) I asked ELizabeth for help since it was plain to see we bought a sick cat (not that WE got her sick- she was already sick days within purchase) and she refused to buy the cat back.So we paid over $800 in vet bills within the few short weeks of owning our kitten.We were very proactive /consulted with out Vet and unfortuntely our baby died despite our efforts.My husband slept with this cat, he bathed her, cleaned her, talked to her softly and held her gently.Its not just about the money ( but yeah $1200 + vet expenses down the drain is hard to stomach) its that we lost our baby.And I even told Elizabeth that we would accept an replacement animal ( big suprise here but we haven't heard back from her!) To all the customers who have healthy happy cats- thats wonderful.I'm happy you got what YOU paid for.We did not. And again if you don't have years experience and a title to go with that -lets leave it up to the REAL doctor vets- not someone that has nothang better to do than surf the web for a few minutes and TRY to sound Knowlegable.You should be playing with your healthy kitten instead of adding salt to our wounds.

in your original post you stated that you put the cat to sleep before talking to elizabeth. i am not trying to sound knowledgeable, i am. I raise and show cats and have researched anything cat related extensively. i diagnose and treat my own cats all of the time. if it is something i feel i cannot treat, i consult my vet. but you dont have to have a liscense or go to school to know how to diagnose and treat. i do not appreciate your tone with me. i was simply stating to you that you wont get a cash refund, but beth is very good about replacing the kitten.

I see from other posts from you that others too have stated that it is impossible! to know a cat has FIP until AFTER it has died. Vets are not always correct. I had a kitten of my own become sickly and i took him to the vet for tests. We did bloodwork and i had to wait until over the weekend for the results. in the meantime my kitten died. We were taking the first step in finding out what was wrong with my kitten, but we ran out of time. my vet said he most likely died of PKD. Which i know is not correct because both parents are dna tested pkd negative. So it was a guess from my vet, and he was wrong. I am insulted that you state i have nothing better to do than surf the net and i should go play with my healthy kitten. I am very greatful for the internet because it is a wealth of imformation for breeders and pet owners. It only takes a few minutes out of my day, leaving plenty of time to cuddle with my cats. Which by the way my kitten finds my computer time the best time for him to curl up on my lap and nap.:)

i also see you posted about a month ago that you are getting a replacement kitten from elizabeth. this is all i was trying to tell you, that you will not see a cash refund and its not reasonable to expect one. She will replace the animal. I dont know if beths contract states this, but i do know in my contract to my pet buyers is that all medical expenses incurred after the kitten is in the buyers possession is the responsibility of the buyer.so again i am sorry you had to spend so much on your sick kitten and go through all of that. it is heartbreaking to have to experience this..but please learn to speak more kindly to others online who are merely trying to offer you advise.

Research FIP. It cannot be diagnosed until after the cat has died. There is no tests for it, no cure, no(good) vaccine for it. Did you have a necropsy done and have documents to prove that it died from FIP? you put a cat to sleep without really knowing if it had FIP. Elizabeth offered you a replacement you say. if you look at your contract im sure it states there is no refunds. Elizabeth has done her part in offering you a replacement. Good luck trying to sue her. No breeder that i know of gives money refunds, but will offer a replacement. She didnt have to offer you a replacement since you didnt consult her before putting the kitten to sleep. You should be suing your vet!
i bought a sphynx from skyshasphynx that did pass away. I had a necropsy done and there was no cause of death found. elizabeth still made it right and replaced the kitten with another. My new kitten is super healthy and we are very greatful for the replacement.

This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

After I filed my complaint I received a real nasty call from the husband of Mrs. Largent, Mr. Chet Largent. I still have the message left on my voicemail after an extremely unprofessional call I had to hang up do to his vulgar manor. He left a detailed message that I had to apologize to him and his wife for how I felt about the whole deal in order to...
