Don't you feel sorry for the poor kitten whatever the breed wether pedigree or moggy it still should not have been away from its mum & siblings.It also seems as if there are a lot of people out there passing off kittens as MC's. A friend of mine got had a few months ago,thought she would have known better,always loved coming to see my cats but said she couldn't afford to buy one so I had suggested perhaps rehoming an older one but she phoned up work to book in a MC kitten she had got for £200 for its 1st vacc.saying it was eight weeks old,when I told her that good breeders didn't let their babies go until they were 13wks old plus vaccs.done she went quiet & I found out there were no papers{what a surprise}she had paid cash,the people had taken kitten to her & hadn't given her a receipt for the money & she had nothing in writing to say it was a maine coon so no comeback.When I first saw it giving it the benefit of doubt I politely said it could have a bit of MC in it,she was convinced it was one because it was fluffy....! the vet took one look & said nothing but a moggy & when it came to be castrated the proof was there to be seen ,a very expensive con.
The worrying thing was though that this "lady" & her son had several MC kits for sale as my friend had the choice of six to pick from emails photos that were sent to her so how many other people were stupid enough to fall for it.Interestingly both email adress & phone no are now unavailable.
