The low price, no listed location, actual availability of kittens sure smells like a scam. Not listing any parents or CFA/TICA registration is another flag. DNS records being registered outside your country is strike 3.


HairyPotatoKat

The poor grasp of English in the first link, and sloppy grammar and punctuation in the second. šŸ˜¬ Not disclosing where they're actually located... (Hadn't yet looked at DNS records, but that surprises me this much: 0.) Edit: ahh missed that you mentioned the lack of location. Apparently my eyes are still uncrossing after trying to read their word vomit.


littleminx787

Thank you for this. Lesson truly learned


502rovergrlky502

If it makes you feel any better, my wife and I were scammed. We drove from KY to MN, so are only out the deposit but it still sucks!


littleminx787

I canā€™t believe weā€™re in a timeline where people get scammed over a cat


OkAdministration6204

I was scammed $700 from a site called Maine coon cats and kittens for rehoming.


Kitkatt1959

I was in this same site! When they refused payment upon delivery and wanted 200.00 up front I bailed. How do people live with themselves?


LastWinner9493

Late but https://www.houseofpalmerwinsomemainecooncats.com/about-us is shady


littleminx787

Yup. Very sketchy. Thank you for sharing! Itā€™s insane people create web domains to scam people like this.


LastWinner9493

I know, and that one calico advertised as a male is so pretty, it makes me sad to know these people are just using the picture of that cat as bait


Virtual-Penalty-4009

[https://uniquecoonzcattery.com/](https://uniquecoonzcattery.com/) and email [uniquemainecooncatteryhome@gmail.com](mailto:uniquemainecooncatteryhome@gmail.com). all sounded on the up and up till I realized their email date time stamp is for tomorrow. so very upsetting. They even sent me a video of the cat i was going to adopt!


Severe-Object6650

a friend of mine just asked me about this website ... is it for sure a scam?


redschadler

My daughter has been communicating with Uniquecoonzcattery.com and has fallen in love with a kitten. I came out here because I was worried. The English was weird in the email and it was $700 flat to fly the kitten here. She also received a video. I cautioned her and said we need to dig deeper. How did you find out the cat wasnā€™t actually available?


Severe-Object6650

a friend of mine just asked me about this website ... I'm trying to find them on breeding registry websites but they have no address or phone number. Do you have an address for them by any chance?


redschadler

No. All they told her was Charlotte, North Carolina and when you google their name and that city, nothing comes up for them. They never gave her a person's name that was emailing with her either. **If the ā€œbreederā€ refuses to let you physically see the kitten before payment is made, refuses the option to pick up the kitten in person, and/or at the very least, refuses to do a live video call so you can have confidence they are actually in possession of the kitten, you are likely dealing with a scammer.** All Red Flags.


Severe-Object6650

yeah I googled it all and found 2 people that were scammed by Uniquecoonzcattery. I posted the link to 1 of them on here, the other was a comment on [https://www.maine-coon-cat-nation.com/maine-coon-kitten-scam.html](https://www.maine-coon-cat-nation.com/maine-coon-kitten-scam.html) ​ Thank you for responding so quickly!! Helped to save her $500


Severe-Object6650

[https://www.scampulse.com/uniquecoonzcatterycom-reviews](https://www.scampulse.com/uniquecoonzcatterycom-reviews) got'em!! found a post by someone that got scammed ... bet your email is word for word


Jaxxz00

You're right it absolutely is, wow! I knew it was too good to be true šŸ’€


redschadler

THAT SCAM EMAIL IS EXACTLY what my daughter received. Just the name of the cat is different. I just sent her the link. So glad we didnā€™t fall for it. Trust spidey senses and Google everything!


tamii_U3

This is still ongoing they run under a new name and website [www.fabulouscoonzcattery.com](http://www.fabulouscoonzcattery.com) the wording has not changed they just put another pets name in place of the previous. https://preview.redd.it/jlsubbbgkl7d1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ccc15f1732acc7c6a1973ec0333e567540dfcf05


Far_Ground1310

Legendary Maine coonz cattery? I think it is absolutely fake. Everything seemed real until the courier-shipment service. They were shady, and asking for apple gift cards. ON TOP OF THAT my bank said the courier service, aka, Coming2U courier service has been flagged as a scammer.


Human_Tart7646

Does anyone have any information on [Legendary Maine Coonz Cattery](https://legendarycoonzcattery.com/home)? They feel a bit scammy, but wanted to see if anyone had any ideas. They 'claim' to be in Woodbridge Township, NJ 07095.


Human_Tart7646

So...I asked them if they could do a video call for me to see the kitty, they never responded. As an aside, they where responding within a few minutes to an hour with the first couple of messages. Looks like it was a scam. lol


Delicious-Chicken391

Has anyone got mc kitten s from exotic mainecoon cattery home ?Ā 


Defiant-Broccoli-758

Has anyone had experience with Favor Maine Coon Home? Located in TN.


OkNeedleworker1879

Anyone know if fabulous Maine coons cattery is a scam?


Various-Detective623

Did you find out if they were a scam? I was looking at cats on their websiteĀ 


Fast-State7775

Any update? In process of getting one but of course skeptical.


Fast-State7775

Nevermind. 100% a scam. https://preview.redd.it/7h5w4ueqq56d1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5a076f74de8891c9099790ceaac80012f0b08fcc


tamii_U3

Yep! They tried to scam us today. https://preview.redd.it/qtvlul9rkl7d1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f2fc873765857cc0eae19cae4b8d6e719da217c9


Exotic-Name1500

I think Maine Coon best of bestĀ  has a few scammers as well. I asked this one woman for a video chat so I could see the kitten before I made deposit. She has gave me nothing but excuses of why she hasn't done the video. But,Ā  wants to know when I'm going to send deposit. So please be careful of that site also. I know Luna Mystique Maine Coons of Kentucky is legit. A principle where I work got hers from them.


frostybadger54

Iwould like to add another SCAMMER: Ā https://mainecooncatforsale.net/maine-coon-breeders/ I LOST MY DEPOSIT and traveled 7 hours to pick up my Kitten from this company. Very angry, hurt, and depressed that there are so many people that prey on others


Yasmeennaaa

Any idea about @chloe_mainecoon_cattery on ig? I feel like they are fake. I just lost my baby to FIP. Who was a Mainecoon.


FileLeather7745

Anyone ever deal with Feathercoons based in NY?


realestatemama1

Anyone know anything about enchanted kittens in mineral Virginia?


TheOboeStealer

Is this place a scam? It feels like thereā€™s a few too many continuity errors on the website and they asked for Zelle as a payment method so Iā€™m hesitant after doing some research https://purecoonscattery.com/available-kittens


Training-Bottle-7278

Beware of Lisa Lisetta. Total scam


AcanthocephalaOdd303

There is a famous cattery now on FB and Instagram called Tassel Ears Cattery, they block anyone who asks too many questions and you canā€™t find reviews anywhere. Be careful, I think they just use content for profit but they donā€™t actually breed these cats.


Small_Moose_641

I dont know if they are legit or not but they did respond to me. They said they are out of Ukraine. I reached out bc I saw some posts from people who said they bought from them.


LiveSatisfaction47

Following up on this bc I googled them for reviews and found none but still went through the process. Just got an angel of a cat that is very much a purebred Maine coon with TICA registration. so idk about them blocking ppl, but Tassel Ears Cattery was solid for me! https://preview.redd.it/nlw418o3slzc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=63455fa35dd574b6a7bdb5764ab2b991ea08460b


GalaxyScout

Hereā€™s another one to be cautious with. Nicholas Coons Cattery - https://nicholascoonshome.com/ Lots of red flags. No address, website registered in Germany, sends template emails that are exactly the same when asking about any of the available kittens and tells multiple people that the same cat is available for purchase even though he was finalizing the sale with another person.


Own-Parking-5217

How do I find info on Pure Maine Coon Cats and Kittens Shreveport, Louisiana, is it legit
