- You have a cyberstalker using repeated attacks since 2000 after she was forced to pay court judgement costs and kitten payments 3 years after she claims a cat died of FIP she had a year. Seller lollimops cattery offers a 6 month replacement no questions asked (law is 10 days) or a death certificate and necropsy from vet. A year later this cat died of corona VIRUS in a cattery of 16 other cats. No necropsy was offered, only many and varied attacks. She even attacked a postal worker physically for giving her address from a certified letter. She is CERTIFIABLE. I have known Miss Lowry (Mrs. Westlake) for 40 years, long before she raised cats. A more responsible and caring person I have never met. Do not believe these lies. Nothing has passed between these two people or anyone else for ten years. Sincerely, Eleni Kenty
Posted 1 year agoReport - I was just shown the above complaints against Melanie Lowry of Lollimops Cattery who was forced by an internet sociopath to give up her 17 year old cattery and begin Catinallity Cattery in her married name of Westlake. Her stalker is Rose Marie Zizzo who has been forced to pay her nearly $8,000 in copyright infringement and owed cat fees by the courts. Ms. Zizzo has NEVER stopped harassing and trying to ruin her good name. She says it is her goal in life to bring her to her knees. Please do not believe the posts above. This cattery is clean, small, and there are no sick kittens. Get off it Rose Marie Zizzo, one day you will be found again and suffer for internet harassment in the courts. Again. My beautiful Himmalayans from Ms. Westlake are well adjusted and healthy. CFA threw you out because they had a reason. Ms. Westlake is a member in good standing. N. K. Zachary
Posted 1 year agoReport - Diane Varni from Orecatay, located in Oregon. She says she is a breeder and she appears in the CFA web page. she ask you for money in order for you to buy a cat from her, and after 2 months she invents excuses to give you nothing. Then she dissappears. I have proof of everything.
Posted 1 year agoReport - In the 1st comment the writer has an extremly limited vocabulary and also seems to use the same adjective to describe issues. This poster is named Melanie Lowry of Lollimops.Com cattery AKA please read the historonics for this horrendous pet profiteer here http://ca-catbreeders.info/location-CA.html her complaints are the 1st one on the page in yellow.

Posted 1 year agoReport - Comment number 39 above for Terri Bruce is completely FALSE! She is a wonderful breeder and we have a beautiful cat from her that has brought us so much joy and happiness! Don't believe those accusations! Her Cattery is so clean and welcoming with beautiful healthy cats! If we ever were to get another one it would be from Terri Bruce and the Crystal Purrs Cattery. Someone has clearly confused Terri with someone else.
Posted 4 days agoReport - I don't know who ANGELA SCHULTZ is, but CRYSTAL PURRS is owned and operated by Terri Bruce in Charleston, SC and I bouqht my little guy from her. Her prices were reasonable, compared to some of the breeders I contacted. I was inside her cattery several times and it was clean, smelled good, the cats and kittens were healthy, clean and friendly. She also allowed me to take photos of my kitten while inside her cattery, so she certainly had nothing to hide. My experience was perfect and if my husband will let me have another cat, I'm calling her. This is an excellent example of what consumers cannot really trust these types of sites.... there is no way to validate their accusations.
Posted 4 days agoReport - I agree with the two people above me concerning Terri Bruce from Crystal Purrs Cattery. I've visited her cattery 6-8 times over the last year. The cats/kittens are kept indoors and are part of the family. The house was clean and the cats were healthy and friendly. I was allowed to take photos of my future kittens (I purchased two at different times) and I was allowed to visit for at least 2-3 hours each time I visited. The accusations about Terri Bruce and Crystal Purrs are unfounded and false! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend a cat from her to anyone! I researched several catteries before deciding on Persians from Crystal Purrs. If I ever wanted another beautiful Persian, I'd go right back to Terri. The accuser must have Terri confused with someone else because it definitely isn't Terri Bruce!
Posted 4 days agoReport - Comment 39 above is a misunderstanding. Terri Bruce of Crystalpurrs is a wonderful person who has an awesome cattery! I should know, I met her and bought a sweet little boy Persian from her. She has been confused with someone else and it is unfortunate that this could happen to such a wonderful person who loves her cats as much as she does.
Posted 3 days agoReport - I agree with the above comments concerning Terri Bruce. I have know Terri for nearly 8 years now and she is one of my dearest and closest friends. She is kind, caring and loves her cats and kittens deeply. She is 1000% dedicated to her ALL her cats and kittens and would do ANYTHING within her power for them.
