Thread: Warning about Palmaine Maine Coon kittens

I had had two male kittens from her and had to hand them back after she found I was emigrating within 2years and told me she was taking me to court! She then told me I was not entitled to ship them to the states with me!! She offered to buy them back......came and took them and still owes me £400!!! Oh and guess what I NEVER got their paperwork after paying stupid money! I contacted the GCCF & they said they'd never been informed of the two litters that mine came from. I wasn't allowed to see the parents and I wasn't allowed to see their litter mates.....she brought one kitten at a time into a room for me to view!

Its sad, and cutting corners should not be an option I register ALL of my kittens always have and always will... and the day I can not rear a kitten to the best of my ability like many I will also give up!!


Not sure about Palmaine, but the other two sit on their lazy backsides, doing nothing all day... well nothing productive that is just destructive!! And breed- breed- breed.


THE retiring age in the UK is 67 GET a job like the rest of us!! if you well enough to go and stand up at a 2 day show all day..... and live it up in a hotel etc etc you are well enough to go get a job!!

you should have let her take you to court, from the look of this I don't think she would have as it would have cost her money - I would actually check with a lawyer if she's allowed to do that and take HER to court...

PS: I am so sorry you are going through that - I would be absolutely crushed if anyone tried to take my pirate! don't let her do that to you!

See, this is what terrifies me about finding a suitable breeder, I'd hate to end up getting a kitten from someone who wasn't breeding for the right reasons... Btw are you allowed to "name and shame" bad breeders on here? X

Yeah if they're doing something bad we name them and we explain what they do - if they're good too. But I don't think we would advise one breeder over another, that wouldn't be fair to the others I think.....
