Q: Breeder wants to sue me or take kitten back to be put to sleep
I bout a sick kitten from a breeder 3 months ago. Have spent over $1000 in vet costs. Tried to work it out with breeder but she only wanted me to swap my sick cat for another sick cat. Became hostile and blocked me. I disputed what I paid for the cat with my financial institution and won now breeder wants to sue me. Is this right? I have over 100 screenshots and vet paperwork. I also contacted two other people that bought cats from her and they said had same symptoms as mine on top of that my 5 yr old cat that’s never been outdoors or around other cats for sick too. The kitten was diagnosed with multiple viruses. Herpes, Chlamydia, calcivirus, etc and ringworm. What can I do. Can I win this battle or just give the money back. I just don’t think it’s right the breeder is selling sick animals to people and them having to turn around and spend a lot at the vet to get them well again. I live in Monticello and she’s in Louisville
A: Don’t give her a dime back snd if she sues you, you can counterclaim and win. She has committed a continuing breach snd her liability continues to increase.
