Scam Description
I found a breeder for munchkin cats on google looked them up on the international cat association and figured they were legit i spoke to the woman Katarina mulitple times over phone email and texts she sent me contracts to sign and to confirm my payment of $350 deposit and then I sent the remaining balance of $570 wen she was setting up for him to be shipping to me. The shipping company that goes by go shipping asked me to pay a refundable insurance fee for the cat to get on the plane i paid it and the tracking number and flight info were sent to me the kitten was supposedly in route 7 am feb 11th. it was a connecting flight from key west to atlanta thn from there to new york. When the cat was in atlanta the shipping company called me saying i needed to pay $700 for the rabies tag not being with the documents and ever since i have been getting the run around when simply asking for the air billing number or the flight number or the airline
