I am not sure about anyone's else's experience with these people, but I had a poor one. I fell in love with one of their kittens that they posted, and shortly after placed a deposit of $750 on her via paypal g&s. I requested pictures and information on her parents, and I recieved pictures of them- but they weren't any of the cats on their Instagram Kings and Queens. I was emailed a contract, and I signed it. I noticed the contract was not yet signed by the seller, nor was it signed with docusign, which is strange. In my previous experience in adopting a cat from a breeder he contract was already signed by the seller. When I requested a copy of the contract signed by the seller, the social media manager (who is the only person I was able to speak to during this time, not once had i been able to speak with the person who is the face of their page and the person i paid, alexandra toropova), she told me she sent it, and she did not. I re-requested for her to send it and if I don't get on email for her to send it to me via Instagram. This was ignored. We scheduled for a video chat, which we had via zoom. In this zoom call, it was me, their social media manager, and a Russian lady playing with the kitten. I was unable to see their face. It was only in this video chat that I had been informed that she is not in PA, and is in russia with WildBeautyCoons. She told me they have "multiple locations" and this is how they always have many kittens available. After the video chat, I had done some thinking as I was alarmed at them falsely advertising the kittens location. The next day, after thinking, I wanted to ask more questions and address some concerns about the matter in attempt to get some clarity and ease of mind. This was when I requested the copy of contract with sellers signature, I never recieved this. I asked for information on how she was able to come from the USA from Russia with such a low price ($2900) because in most cases, when you are adopting a kitten from EU, import fees are $2k+. I asked if I would be able to speak with alexandra because I found it odd that I have not seen or spoken to her once during this transaction. I asked who was with the kittens in russia. And I asked to see her pedigree, vet papers, and more pictures and information on the parents because at this point, while I was provided images, I have no idea who these cats are. Most breeders have proper information on all parents used in their program. There is absolutely no information on any cats in russia on their account, and the video the kitten i wanted, signed a contract for, and paid a deposit on (a white deaf kitten with blue eyes for $2900) was clearly advertised to be in PA. After asking these questions, they decided to refund my deposit instead of providing the extra information requested or answering my questions and wished me well, as in their words "it is very important to them that both parties are confortable during the transaction and i am showing uncertainty" and ignored any and all of my advances to try and talk with them after this. So many red flags here i would be extremely weary if looking to do business with these people.

I got my kitten from this cattery. Highly recommend
