How do i know if a breeder is real or a scammer?

How do I know it's not a scam?
There are ways to know if someone is a scammer or not. 
  • Ask for their name, location, Cattery name, and which organization they are registered with.  You can call Tica or CFA to confirm the information is correct and they are registering the kittens.  I'm registered with Tica and they no longer allow just anyone to look on their website for Catteries.  Too many people were stealing names so they took it down.
  • Ask for their vet information, google it to make sure it's a real place, and call them. My vet information is below.
  • If you can't follow your money do not trust them. If they only accept Walmart to Walmart, Money Gram, Western Union, etc that is how you cannot follow your money.  Once it's gone it's gone.  However if you are purchasing from another country that will be different.  I import mine and have to use Western Union or Money Gram.  In the states I would never use them.
  • If they are pushy that's a red flag. Real breeders care where their kittens go.
  • If the price is too good to be true it probably is.  Breeding correctly is very expensive. 
  • If they have a generic name on their website or Facebook page that's a red flag too. A breeder is proud of their Cattery name.  They will not have Maine Coons for Sale or Maine Coons for Cheap or anything along these lines.  They will use their Cattery name.
  • Look at pictures and they should all be very similar.  If they have multiple backgrounds I would be leery of stolen pictures. 
  • Scammers usually post several kittens of all different colors and say they are the same age.  Most do not realize certain parents cannot produce certain colors.  Breeders never have that many kittens available at once at the same age either.
  • On Facebook, once they scam someone, they have to make a whole new page.  They will not have very many followers either.  You should always go through their page and see if other families are posting pictures that have received kittens.  Also I have a Facebook group for families who have kittens from me.
  • Websites are similar and they are always making new ones with stolen pictures.  They usually like to steal pictures from Russian breeders. 
  • A reputable breeder will not have issues answering these questions.  You can also be scammed by just talking to the person on the phone or seeing a video.  It's wise to always do your research before committing to a Breeder.​
  • You can find me on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok @wildcatcreekcattery. You can find these accounts below.
  • Make sure you do your homework before deciding on a breeder.
