Cat Scams: Breeder + Kitten Website Scams

Published: by

Current Ragdoll Breeder Cat Scams Online - on Websites, Facebook, Instagram, and More

BUYER BEWARE: There are a lot of Ragdoll breeder and kitten scams online since scammers know people are looking for the perfect pet for their new family member. We keep a running list of the ones we know about below.

Please know that new ones are popping up daily. So please email us if you have concerns about a breeder you are considering adopting from after a quick online search. But before doing so, please watch our VERY comprehensive video that will help you determine if the site you've found is a scam, and check out our running list to know immediately.

A reader once wrote me and said, "Ordinarily, the work of a pet scammer is intrinsically evil. This is because they trade on the powerful emotion of love & tenderness towards an animal - a pet, a companion. Because of that, I view them at the level of pedophiles, rapists, pederasters and slightly above the status of serial killers.

But because they operate in the wide swells of the internet sewer this sort of detritus is of no interest and not worthy of policing, apprehending, convicting, and jailing- substantial effort/ expenditure of resources for little gain. I view pet scammers, in reality, like I do cockroaches. They are hideous and alarming when you encounter them, BUT as hard as you try to exterminate them, they continue to reappear in your bathroom, garage, etc.

The Better Business Bureau (BBB) post on this topic suggested that up to 90% of all listings submitted from a google search like "ragdolls for sale" are fraudulent - in some way or other. The other fact that surprised me was: the center of Pet scam operations is in Cameroon, West Africa."

List of Scam Websites I Know About - Check Out Cat Scams on Facebook Below

Believe me, there are many more than this (and some scammers use legitimate breeders' names - so be sure to check the website link - as it can be different than the cattery name - they're getting tricky). Be sure to search this page - use CTRL+F to find if the personal information (email or phone number), website, etc. you are communicating is listed herein. They are getting tricky and will change their website names, but still have the same domain name.

Need Help Figuring Out if a Website Is a Scam?

ℹ️ You can always contact us if you are wondering if the breeder you're interested in is legitimate. Please send us a link to their website, and we can check it out.

⚠️ WARNING SIGNS TO LOOK FOR: ⚠️

  • CHEAP KITTENS - a reputable, legitimate breeder will never sell Ragdoll kittens for cheap. Why? They are running a business, and they have fees, expenses, etc., for those first 12 weeks of the kittens' lives, as well as the well-being of the kitten's mother. So check out reasonable Ragdoll cat prices right now.
    • 50% OFF ALL KITTENS TODAY
    • $600 each and free shipping - that's crazy cheap, and "free shipping" is as if they are a commodity that's made in a factory. Or they might say there is a small fee.
  • Photos - Photos all have different backgrounds, kittens for sale in the photos are all of the different ages. Or they use stock pictures or photos stolen from Instagram accounts (that's why they will all have different backgrounds). Legitimate breeders usually have a spot where they take their kitten photos - and they'll have a red, blue, or another colored blanket as the background. Hence, all the images have a similar background or the same one from the seller's home. Sometimes you can do a reverse image search on Google and see where else a photo has been used. You'll find that these cat scams will use them on multiple made-up websites.
  • Photos Don't Change - "About a year ago, I fell in love with a couple of ragdolls from Sasha Lovely Ragdolls Home. However, after several interactions with them, I determined that the website was a scam. As of today (almost one year later), all the same, cats are listed as available (that haven't aged). They also had to change geographical locations, which I discovered by having family members inquire about the same cats."
  • Misspellings: "We're giving an excptional discount this week, so be amongst the lucky ones who get a Kitten at 50% off."
  • Poor English - "Ragdoll Home is highly known for breeding and nurturing Kittens in a loving and caring manner, and we give them out to a true loving family who cares much about them." - No native English-speaking breeder is going to name their cattery or reference their cattery as "Ragdoll Home."
    • I say "native English speaker" because people outside the USA and Canada mostly do these scams.
  • Discrepancies in what is on the website vs. what the breeder says in emails: "He said his name is Steven Andrew, but reviews on the website only mention someone named "Troy." He also says he is located in Harrisburg, PA – note the discrepancy above."
  • A Shopping Cart - where you can check out and buy a kitten today - No legitimate, reputable breeder will have "Buy Now" on their available kittens' page. A genuine breeder cares about the breed and the cats as living beings and wouldn't have a "shopping cart" type of setup.
  • Trust Your Gut - When it feels wrong - it's usually wrong
  • Addresses don't match - "The zip code they gave me for their address doesn't match their city/state."
  • Don't Belong to Cat Associations - TICA and CFA are two significant cat associations in the USA. If the breeder is a member, they will be listed on those well-known websites. If they are not, you can always email those associations and ask if they are. Of course, scammers can write on their sites that they belong to TICA or CFA, so you have to check on the actual organization's website.
  • Payment - If it's through ZELLE or some other way, you can never get your money back, like cash transfer services, i.e., Moneygram or Western Union. "This company doesn't accept PayPal and has numerous spelling/grammatical errors in their correspondence." Don't send money via Venmo, cryptocurrency, Zelle, etc. - unless you physically have the kitten in hand or the breeder came highly recommended by a friend or family member who has a cat from them. They'll ask for PayPal payment that is "Strictly Family and Friends Only." It is always safest to pay with a credit card (not a debit card), so you can potentially get your money back if someone is running a scam.
  • Freight Company - they will add a middleman like a "freight company" that you also have to pay to have the kitten shipped. This is not how reputable breeders work. Example: "I'd like to inform you that https://www.lunaragdollhome.com/ is a fake ragdoll breeder, and they "work" with https://expressglobalcargomover.com/ to move "kittens." They scammed my mother out of USD 3,000 in total, $1,000 for the "kitten," $2,000 for the "shipping." They tried getting another $2,500 in "quarantine" fees for "3 months"."
  • Additional Fees - Most legitimate breeders are upfront with all fees, etc. A Floppycats reader spoke about these extra fees more eloquently, "The pet scammer enterprise is done primarily over the internet; they maintain anonymity, they promise all kinds of goodies, and they con the unwary out a $1000 or more a pop. I found it interesting but not surprising - when they found a "mark"; extracted cash from their mark; they would come again for another hit on the poor mark- via an "extortion fee" to get their pets out of quarantine or some emergency during transport of the animal. Marks are a gift that keeps on giving."
  • Content is copied from elsewhere - often, they will copy content from a legitimate Maine Coon breeder's website and then switch our "Maine Coon" for "Ragdoll," - so if you see something along those lines, you know it's a scam.
  • Odd Cattery Names - Many scammer cattery names target keywords entered in Google by users, not a NAME a person would name their cattery. So "Healthy Ragdoll Breeders" is a very odd name for a native English speaker to choose
  • Young Kittens - 10 weeks old - no legitimate, reputable breeder lets kittens go before 12 weeks
  • .ORGs - No breeder would have a .org website for official 5013c organizations, like the Red Cross.
  • Video Chat or Video Visit - Some breeders (not all) will do a video meeting with you, so you know they are authentic, the kitten you're interested in is real, etc. Some legitimate breeders will not do this because of time and resources, but sometimes it can be a sign.
  • Ads - A legitimate, reputable breeder does not put ads online, on Craigslist, on Facebook, or recycler.com - they have a running waitlist. And they attract new kitten buyers through social media (by posting their litters, etc.) or through referrals or website searches (if their site is set up well for search engine optimization)
Ragdoll Kitten Scammers. A reader sent me a screenshot of this; she couldn't get the link. This is on Facebook. This is a photo of me holding kittens. These kittens are not mine, I am not selling them, and someone without the rights to this photo is using this to scam people into thinking these kittens are for adoption - when, in fact, they probably don't have kittens at all. Please share far and wide so people don't get scammed.

Facebook Cat Scams

A reader submitted these screenshots on Jan 30/31, 2022, saying, "Notice the date on the right-hand corner of ultrasound. New pregnancy announcement. But the date of the Ultrasound is August 18 (of God knows what year). Even if it was just this past August, those babies should have been born by now. Here is another one. Same ultrasound photo. "

Here is a scammer using a photo of me with kittens at a legitimate breeder's house from years ago. This is catfishing at its finest.

Ragdoll-kitten-breeder-scams-on-Facebook

The reader who sent me these photos decided to have fun with this catfish to see what unraveled. She said, "Omg! She is trying to pass herself off as you. She is saying she is from Washington. I asked if that was the litter she was holding in her profile pic. she said yes. I said she looked like a proud Momma, and she said she appreciated me saying that. Then she gets pushy about buying the kitten at a crazy low price. She claims kittens are now seven weeks, but the photo was posted in November. ??????? She even said they are desexed. At seven weeks??"

Here's that conversation:

I was scammed by www.ryleighsragdollkittens.com

The email they use to contact their "customers" RAGDOLLS HOME <[email protected]>


The email they use to have an account on ZELLE (a wire transfer service): [email protected] Under: Ryleigh Figueroa and Michael


Maybe you can also add the freight company which is in the scam as well. They wanted to get an additional $1,000 for an electrical thermal crate due to the young age of the kitten.

I was scammed by www.leeragdoll.com

I wish I had seen your web site before connecting with https://leeragdoll.com/.  Unfortunately, I was slow to recognize the scam and they did get some money from me before I figured it out.  It was your web site that helped me confirm the scam.  I wish there was a way to remove them from the internet!  Just wanted to say thanks for having that information available.  I wish I had seen it first.

I used Zelle…. Note to self….. NEVER use a person to person money transfer to someone you are not totally sure who they are and or know personally … EVER!!!! They will make arrangements of other forms of payments such as American Express gift card.  I don’t know why that didn’t set of my Scam senses! So if you have to pay any reseller by person to person transfer and you don’t personally know them, RUN.!

These people now are telling me they will hold my money for 30 days per the contract which is null and void as they never intended to send me a kitten. I am still so mad I can’t see straight.  They have all but acknowledged the scam and won’t refund my money. I wish there was a way I could get law enforcement on their doorstep, but I fear that doorstep is not in the US.

I was wondering how you SEO your website?  Getting it to show up when someone types in ragdoll kittens for sale would be great. Did I mention I am an unhappy camper right now? Thanks for having that list.  If I hadn’t checked and found your site they would have scammed me out of all the money they were asking for. I just wish I had thought about the possibility of cat breeders scam before I jumped in.  I hate learning hard lessons.

These guys are good…  the web site is nice, the contract is official looking.  Very easy to be at ease when your hoping to get that special kitten. Its when the payment options pop up that one should beware.  Unfortunately it took me a step to long to figure it out. As always, if it sounds to good, it probably is…. Buyer beware! One more thing... check the timestamp on any correspondence.  These guys were responding to email at hours between midnight and 6 am. Another red flag."

Here are the latest - Precious Ragdolls using my photo of Charlie, Trigg, and me that's in the footer of our website.  I am not married and have never been - and they stole the content below the photo from another breeder's website.

Oftentimes, they will steal from a Maine Coon breeder's website and then just replace "Maine Coon" with "Ragdoll".  You can always copy and paste a few sentences of the content and put it between " " in Google's search bar to see where else it appears on the web.

This website has a photo of me with my cat, Charlie - saying my name is "Marie / Cleveland". I am Jenny and live in Kansas City and did not get my cats from them.

Update September 19, 2020

Kimberly Ragdolls is a fraudulent breeder website

"I’m very appreciative of you posting fraudulent breeder websites. I have been corresponding with a man using the name Kimberly Ragdolls. He is offering to sell me a beautiful female kitten for $350, including shipping from Pennsylvania to Arizona. I asked him to forward a copy of his contract. He appeared to change the name of the breeder at the Beginning of the contract, but erroneously left the name of Cristar Ragdoll Cattery at the bottom. He has now ceased corresponding with me once I questioned him on it. I wanted you to have the new name he is operating under so you can list it also.

Seems this guy has had several fb pages. They don’t have a website this time - just their Facebook page. But they are seeking out buyers on the American Ragdolls fb page. They replied to a post earlier today listing their info and pictures of kittens. I reached out to them as I am currently looking for a female. I just looked back on fb and it appears they deleted their comments with their info. But their fb page was Kimberlyragdoll kittens.

I have messed with this guy all afternoon questioning him. I sent him screenshots of all the business names he has gone by and all the stories buyers have reported about him. He claims it is just fraudulent buyers trying to give him a bad name. He’s definitely a fraud. He went from messaging me on Facebook messenger, to texting me, to using WhatsApp. I questioned him why he kept switching and he said to make sure I was legit! Lol! Thanks for looking out for buyers! I appreciate it!"

Update September 2, 2020

RAGDOLL CATTERY HOME is another Ragdoll breeder scam website.

Paula wrote in, "Unfortunately my 13 yr old rag doll passed Suddenly recently and we are devastated I began looking right away for another rag doll and just get totally conned. I went to https://ragdollcatterys.com/ and unfortunately they took my money (cash accounts only which was a red flag) promised to ship my 11-week kitten they named Cucu, then hours before her due time (Monday September 1st at noon) they then asked for more money for another shot and $650 for a temperature controlled crate. The kitten was to be delivered in a crate anyway They agreed to pay for her shot but still wanted $650 for the crate She was supposed to be on a flight (airport) at the time they requested this so I knew it wasn’t right. They sent me shipping confirmation for the flight but trying to google the company showed no such company.

We were so upset at being conned so easily and I don’t know how to get their name out there to warn other innocent pet lovers so it doesn’t happen to them. If you can possibly add this company to your warning list of bad breeders that would be great. Their website and shipping contract looked so real too. If you know a good breeder in Southern California who has rag dolls for pets and I’m not interested in showing or breeding please can you let me know. please post to try to prevent others from being scammed by them!"

Doing the same as this one below, but using a photo of my sister with our parents' kitties on their Premium Ragdolls Cattery's fake and fraudulent website:

How to Spot a Ragdoll Cattery Scam Website

Another scammer website used a photo of my sister and me with my parents' Ragdoll cats. I wish there were a way to prosecute these people. Unfortunately, another one was Jasmine Ragdoll Kitten - Ragdoll Breeder SCAM.

Ragdoll Breeder Website Scam RAGDOLL FAMILY or Ragdoll Giants

These are people that do not have kittens - they are stealing people's photos and content from other legitimate breeder's websites and creating a brand new website from it. Then, claiming they have kittens - and then screwing people out of their money. They use keywords like "Professional Ragdoll Cat breeders" or "Purebred Ragdolls" to help their website be found on Google. And innocent people looking to buy a Ragdoll kitten, find it - see all the pretty photos and get suckered into buying one because they make the website look legitimate with a purchase agreement, shipping guarantee, and more. But there are a lot of misspellings, and you can find the content they post on other breeder's websites. For example, they copied and pasted the content on their Shipping and Guarantee page from a Savannah cat breeder.

I HATE wasting Floppycats' site's content on something like this. I HATE spending my time on something like this. But I HATE scams and frauds, especially those involving animals.

I am hoping this post will make them stop and also make others stop that might be doing the same. They will probably change their name by the time this posts - but they have used "RAGDOLL FAMILY" or "Ragdoll Giants" so far. Please let me know what other words they use. I posted about this scam two weeks ago on Facebook - you can see the discussion here:

  3. This website is also a scam. Has pictures of kittens that you can reverse image search and find on other websites. Testimonials list that a cat was chewing on an antler which they don't do. Testimonials are copy and pasted, easy to google search. Shipping info lists them sending a pig ear and that the cats love them, news to me. Evasive about phone calls, would not answer even though they said they would.

    Zelle registered email is [email protected] and the name given for it is Elvis. Super original.

    Reply

    • Oh man. Awful. Sounds like the testimonials were probably pulled from a dog website - given the antler reference. That's what they do - switch it up and out - and most people don't read - they just skim and look at the photos.

  4. Hi, thank you for all your help. I have found a breeder who is listed on many "find a cat in your area" sites. ragdollstexas.com. The owner has a fractured arm and says she is unable to do anything for 1 month which is a shame but she says her kittens are too young to be sold now anyway. I'm 99% positive about this breeder (who is also a retired vet apparently) but I'm double checking to make sure it passes your criteria.

  6. Hi,
    I noticed you listed elegant dolls cattery but didn't explain why, I was about to purchase from them and it would be useful to know, what makes them a scammer? Because I didn't catch anything.

    Reply

    • I can spot a scammer website now in 2.5 seconds. But other reasons include those included in this blog post. $700 for a Ragdoll is way too cheap - that's the first head's up. Second one is different backgrounds on all the photos - they are stolen from some place else. You can tell on their about us page that they clearly copied and pasted - https://elegantragdollcattery.com/about-us/ - yep, found another scammer website by plugging that into Google: https://submissiveblueeyesragdolls.com/about-us/

      The horrible misspellings or grammar errors - "If you’re looking for an active, fun, devoted companion with elegant good looks, an Ragdolls Kittens cat is a wonderful choice"

      Sorry, I don't have time to spend explaining why else. If you are concerned about future scammer websites, just email me a link and I can tell you if it is a scam or not.

      Reply

      • I was starting to think that they were real because they sent me 4 more pictures of Lulu and they all looked like the same kitten in the same house. Their name was also TICA registered but it probably doesn't matter if the NAME is registered because it's just the name. Here's another website, they're missing the testimonials and the page for the parents of the kittens but they've been pretty trustworthy so far. ragdollmansion.com

        Reply

        • hmmmm... i would see if you can get them on the phone. how do they take payment? This is not reassuring to me - "Your Ragdoll world in just a click" - these are lives, not commodities. A little more research revealed they are a scam too - they copied their about us content from https://mainecoonplanet.com/ - which is another scam site.

    • can you tell me what you experienced with american ragdolls.com ? I am in process of purchasing a kitten. Everything has felt very legit. I have had lengthy phone conversations with her, frequent emails, photos of kitty, price is about the same as everyone else. There was a previous kitty that I wanted but missed it by a couple of days, as someone else had just put deposit. My kitty will be 12 weeks old Jan 14th, she has said that she is planning on that date but there is always a chance the kitties aren't ready by 12 weeks. I paid the deposit on PayPal. she asks for balance upon taking possession of kitty. she said that she has had some difficulty with website and someone younger than her is trying to fix it for her. right now she doesn't have many available but is expecting a litter the end of December. I am considering a 2nd kitty depending on colors. Please let me know how you were scammed, your post has of course made me quite nervous.

    Our 16 year old cat just passed. We have our hearts set on a Ragdoll. MOST of the paid ads online that I've looked into appear to be scams. Several are included in the list above and are still at it. Several are also listed on various scam alert sites.

    I am thankful that I just didn't have any peace dealing with these. Using addresses of empty, for-sale houses. Cell phones with no names attached to the numbers. They only want Western Union, MoneyGram, or Zelle. In fact in one case, only would accept Western Union in person cash pick up. None of them will allow us to drive to where they are. None respond unless we act like we're on the verge of sending money.

    What a shame to prey on people's emotions like this. I'm sorry for those who have been scammed.

  18. Here’s another one that I think is a scam. Found them in Facebook as “Tylr Hanson’s Pets”. They said they had a kitten, I asked for website and guarantees... illiterate answers. I declined due to price and lack of legitimacy. They send pics that Were identical to some other ragdoll sites, so I questioned. Answer I got was that HE breeds and other people sell for him (yeah right). I politely declined and left it alone. Then the next couple of days I continue to get sporadic messages asking me to reconsider - later they send me this website riddled with grammatical errors and incomplete contact info pages (half-assed built site to fake legitimacy) “amazingragdollcattery.com”. They continue to hound me on IM. Ridiculous.

  19. What about USA Rag Doll? My friend paid them $1200 last week and now no contact.

    • As far as I can tell, they are legit. Maybe there is something going on with them?

  20. Does anyone know anything about Mason’s Ragdolls? Or Neville Ragdolls? I’m reading all of these accounts and I’m becoming a little worried.

    • If you post links to their sites, I can tell you pretty quickly if they are scammers.
