I had an extremely upsetting experience with Katy Cattery and would not recommend them…read more I reserved a female Ragdoll kitten, paid an $855 deposit, and was scheduled to pick her up in less than two weeks. Believing the placement was confirmed, I purchased insurance, bought supplies, rearranged my apartment, installed a professional catio, scheduled veterinary care, adjusted my work schedule, and coordinated a trip to Houston around pickup. Emily then abruptly canceled the placement after observing that the kitten was reserved around an unfamiliar caregiver for several days. She decided that because I regularly have three or four familiar friends visit my otherwise quiet apartment, the kitten was no longer a suitable match. I explained that my home is calm, that I do not host loud parties or constant strangers, and that I would provide the kitten with a private safe space and allow her to adjust gradually. The decision remained final without discussion of a transition plan or other accommodation. I understand that temperament matching matters, but canceling less than two weeks before pickup after allowing me to spend money, prepare my home, and become deeply attached was devastating. My best friend is moving permanently to Sweden shortly after the planned pickup, and I had expected this new family member to provide companionship during that difficult transition. I am now likely facing months of waiting to find another compatible female kitten. Emily declined to compensate me for insurance or other expenses caused by the cancellation. She offered $100 off a future kitten instead, despite the fact that her next litter is not going to be available for adoption until TEN MONTHS from now. A deposit refund does not erase the financial loss, logistical disruption, and extreme emotional distress caused by canceling a confirmed placement at the last possible moment. Prospective buyers should ask very clearly whether their specific kitten can still be taken away after a deposit is paid and how close to pickup that decision may be made.

This review is for Katy Cattery in Texas. I am writing this review after having time to process…read morewhat occurred and to share my experience as accurately and honestly as possible. From the day I brought my kitten home (approximately three weeks ago), he showed subtle but persistent signs of respiratory issues. He would sneeze intermittently and occasionally wheeze, particularly when I picked him up. He had been described to me as having a "cuddly, calm demeanor," but in hindsight, I now believe this behavior may have been related to not feeling well. When Emily initially described his temperament prior to pickup, I specifically asked whether he might be sick or unwell. During his first week with me, he was very timid and not playful. At the time, I attributed this to a normal adjustment period. About a week ago, he developed an eye infection, and I took him to the veterinarian immediately and informed Emily. At no point during this conversation was I informed of any known or suspected respiratory illness, including Feline Herpesvirus-1 (FHV-1), in cats from her cattery. I was later informed that eye infections commonly occur alongside respiratory infections in kittens. Shortly after this, his condition escalated rapidly and severely. He developed an extremely high fever, rapid breathing, and significant wheezing. He was taken to an emergency veterinary hospital, where he was admitted in critical condition. He has required continuous IV fluids since admission and has since been formally diagnosed with pneumonia. He remains under intensive veterinary care. This situation has resulted in thousands of dollars in emergency and hospitalization expenses, as well as an extremely stressful and frightening emotional experience. After my original review was posted, I was contacted by another individual who shared that their kitten from the same cattery (born about 15 days before mine) was diagnosed with Feline Herpesvirus-1 (FHV-1). This information was not disclosed to me at the time of purchase, nor was it disclosed when I informed Emily of my kitten's eye infection. Additionally, when I asked whether any other cats in her home, including those from his or other litters, had experienced respiratory issues, I was told no. While I cannot state with absolute certainty when or where my kitten became ill, the presence of respiratory symptoms from the day I brought him home, combined with veterinary guidance regarding incubation timelines and learning that another kitten from the same cattery was diagnosed with FHV-1 during the same timeframe, is information I believe prospective buyers deserve to be aware of when considering potential health risks. I also want to note that after posting my original review, I was asked to remove it and was informed that legal action would be pursued if it remained online. As a consumer, this further reinforced the importance of sharing factual, health-related experiences publicly so others can make fully informed decisions. I am sharing this review to accurately reflect my experience and to encourage transparency regarding health issues that may impact new owners and their animals. UPDATE: I want to clarify an important point. I have been in communication with the owner of another kitten from the same litter as mine who was diagnosed with a severe respiratory condition. I have since learned that the breeder was provided with that kitten's medical records prior to my inquiry about whether any other kittens were ill. This information was not shared with me at the time I asked about the health of other kittens.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Manuela Fendley and her husband! From the moment I first…read morespoke with them, it was clear how much love and care they put into raising their puppies. They are truly kind-hearted, attentive, and knowledgeable people who genuinely care about both their dogs and the families they go to. Their dedication shines through in every interaction, and it's obvious that their puppies are raised with the highest level of love and attention. If you're looking for your perfect fur baby, I wholeheartedly recommend Neers Yorkies. You won't just find a beautiful, healthy puppy--you'll also become part of a family that truly cares. Thank you, Manuela and family, for everything!

Beautiful puppy however came home with all kinds of issues none of which could be identified by vet…read more24-48 wellness check. A variety of worms, as she was obviously not dewormed and Giardia parasite which has now been passed to my two other dogs. Giardia has to be sent out for special testing which is not available in the 24-48 breeder request. We are now on a second round. This has been a nightmare because it is extremely contagious to humans as well. So keeping things sterilized around the clock is difficult. I have much more to add and feel free to contact me. I did advise her and she said she took all her dogs for testing I call bullshit on that, how does she know who's poops is who's, to get tested, This is very close to a puppy mill so don't be fooled by the beautiful website and promises of doggy door trained, family trained etc! It's not true! The live in huge kennels. The address on the website is not where they breed these dogs. They live at a location they don't want you to know about....i do have that address wish they would publish that and be honest. BUYER BEWARE AFTER SPENDING THOUSANDS ON A DOG YOU WILL NEED MORE TO MAKE THEM HEALTHY. We are now on our third round of treating Giardia. Let me tell you this is exhausting keeping all areas sanitized, bedding constantly washed etc. I have two other dogs, they have been treated as well. vet bills, compound pharmacy prescriptions (because the medication is really foul tasting) all $ that add up. how can this breeder possible send home a healthy puppy. Remember you sign your rights away when you sign that contract. This is a very dishonest person! will look you straight in the eye like a saint, but she is not, the devil is looking at your check instead!

UPDATE: I again took my little guy to the vet. This time for a recheck. I learned that my puppy…read morewas quite a bit younger than I was told by the breeder. In addition, the vet discovered that the puppy also has two anal openings. She is not sure if this was a congenital issue or was done surgically. Again, she strongly recommended that I contact the breeder for information, in order to take care of this puppy properly. So, I texted her again, this time practically begging for information. Anyone who cares for dogs as much as she professes to would have given me this desperately needed information. I still have not heard back from her. Far from a loving breeder, I would characterize her as extremely CRUEL! I love my puppy so much and I would appreciate any prayers that can be sent his way.

TL;DR: Fancy Pups is legitimate. Their set up is very nice, they care about the puppies, and they…read moreare not shady at all. We bought an adorable Yorkie pup from Fancy Pups just over a year ago. The entire experience was pleasant. I called, told them the puppy I was interested in, and drove down the next morning to take a look. The puppy was exactly as I'd expected it to be--cute, fluffy, healthy, and happy! I brought him home that morning. To address the concern of whether or not they are breeder: Jon and Jimmie used to breed Yorkies, but stopped several years ago. Now, they operate as a broker only. They sell Yorkies for longtime friends. I can not confirm to whether or not the puppies come from puppy mills, but what I can say is that our Yorkie was healthy, well cared for, well-marked, and adapted extremely well. Our puppy did have some hypoglycemia issues (common in these little babies). I was able to reach out to Jimmie by email, then phone, to discuss. While our puppy is just fine now, Jimmie was genuinely concerned and really helpful. She asked that I let her know if there are any systemic issues (i.e. liver shunt) found so that the dog's parents would not be bred again to prevent this genetic defect. Fortunately, no liver shunt was found.
