AdoreADolls cattery - Ragdoll cats DON’T BUY FROM THEM!!

Want to adopt a Ragdoll cat? DO NOT use AdoreAdoll's Cattery South Africa, owned by Arn and Bonnie Steyn in Paulpietersburg, Kwazulu Natal. In the beggining of July we were sent pictures of the cattery’s expecting moms. Very excitedly we paid a deposit to secure a kitten from one of their beautiful breeding stock. Then the frustration started.. After months of virtually no communication, we finally received a picture of our beautiful kitten at 6 weeks of age on the 10th of October. Our family was over the moon smitten with the little guy! Then two weeks later I got a whatsapp to say he died.. just like that. When I tried to call.. no answer. Upon asking for proof.. none was given. Upon further investigation Iit turns out that one of the pictures sent to us as one of their ‘expecting moms’, turns out to be a stock image on the internet 😕 With the breach in trust we decided to not further pursue getting a kitten from AdoreADolls cattery and asked for our deposit back. I will be reporting them to Southern Africa Cat Council
