Re: Breeder Sold Kitten and Six Months Later Gained Custory Through Fraud
Dear Rebecca,
We are sorry to hear of the unfortunate circumstances your friend experienced with the breeder. If your friend purchased Katie from a cat breeder who is Registered with a recognized Cat Association, and signed an Ownership Agreement and has proof of payment, then she legally owns the cat, not the breeder. Perhaps your friend did not make the police aware of the Ownership Agreement and payment for the cat. The police may not have been aware of the circumstances and thought it simply a domestic situation.
So long as your friend has an Ownership Agreement that is signed and proof of payment, she should either contact the police again, explaining the situation in greater detail, or obtain legal advice so that she can get Katie back.
Let this serve as a warning to all cat owners out there to be careful and to only choose an ethical and honest breeder when deciding to purchase a kitten.
Rebecca, please let us know if your friend gets Katie back.
Take care,
P. Anderson
