This is a kitten mill. Purchased a cat from her that was bred by her and 2yrs old.

Original review updated Aug 04, 2024

I purchased a cat from her, sight unseen. He was bred by her, 2 years of age, and came so severely matted down to the skin that you couldn't even touch his back without him wincing in pain!

Some mats were the size of golf balls! He also had sores on his back from the matting! I had to shave the poor thing and even after 4 months his coat isn't growing back in the most severely matted areas. He hissed and growled due to poor socialization, had crusty black eye discharge, diarrhea, and infected my cats with chlamydia!

Total nightmare! Do not purchase from her unless you want extensive vet bills and heartache! She did not take any responsibility for anything.

After I got him I did some research and found there are others who have had issues with her selling sick/neglected animals. Beware!

I own a pet transportation business and also bought a Maine coon from Amy. Ive been to her house countless times ( probably 20 times) and am always invited inside to say hi to the kitties and to pick up the one Im taking to their new home.

Her house is always cleaned and organized. If I had any concern about her breeding ethics I would have gotten my Maine coon from one of the many other Maine coon breeders I transport for. But I chose Amy because I knew I would be getting a remarkable cat.

And thats just what I got. Amy is an amazing lady and I feel blessed to have met her and been able to get my dream cat!!

Amy is one of the best breeders in the business. Cares about her kittens and will go above and beyond to help you.

Has beautiful cats and kittens that are well cared for.

The negative review by pearlena kek is a person that is not mentally stable. You can ask Amy for videos and pictures.

I have purchased two kittens from Pure Elegance Ragdolls and could not possibly be happier with the experience! They were healthy, well socialized, and I love that Amy makes some of the most beautiful mink Ragdolls I have ever seen.

I was able to pick the kittens up at her home and was impressed with the lovely setup she has for her adult cats and kittens. I highly recommend Amy and Pure Elegance Ragdolls if you are looking for a beautiful, healthy Ragdoll kitten.

Kitten mill?

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

We picked up a kitten from Amy and walking into her living room there were over 17 cats and kittens in cages and few on the floor and this did not include about 10 or so others she supposedly had somewhere else in her small house. We also found out on entering she breeds maine coons which was not advertised on the website, there was a sick maine coon in a cage in the back and a mom with a new litter in the front.

She sold us a mink (which is not in conforming with ragdoll standards), and even though I hated to give her business I know ours will be safer with us than someone else potentially. Purebred or not he is still sweet and although he came down with an eye infection two days later (appeared that multiple cats were sick), he will at least get the vet care he needs. Maybe she never intended to get over her head but she clearly is as the place was filthy and the animals obviously need proper vet care. She also disclosed to us on our way out how she had 42 kittens born on the property just this summer.

Just writing this so if anyone is planning to buy from Amy, think twice. Pretty sure she's running a kitten mill. She doesn't even seem to be that interested in actual ragdolls which wad a huge red flag to me. Plus, she said she used to breed dogs too and would rather be doing that.

Regardless of your stance on mink dolls (nothing personal against them since we have one and I absolutely love him), just want anyone reading this to know that even if you want a mink and live in Montana, buy somewhere else! Don't support this unethical business.

Walked into Amy's living room to find 17+ cats and kittens all in various stages of health in cages and on the floor. The room was filthy.

Also saw that she breeds maine coons which was never advertised as we were only there to see her ragdolls. One kitty was coughing so bad, others had eye, ear and nose gunk.

Anyway, don't buy from her. Regardless of your stance on the mink variety, try to find someone with ethical breeding practices.

Trying to help others

After almost getting scammed twice i found pure elegance Ragdolls.

Amy loves her kitties and is far more concerned with finding good homes over $$$. My original kitty i wanted wasn't gaining enough weight to go to a new home so I was offered 100% refund or 1st pick of the next kittens. Pure Elegance Is the way to go
