Current Alerts For This Business
BBB's investigation revealed the company address provided by consumers appears to be a residential home in the city of Atlanta, Georgia. BBB has linked Loman Cattery, Lovely Cuties 7 and Coly Cattery as using the same address of Lovely Cuties. Additionally, we have determined that this company uses "Goly," "Doly," and "Coly" on other websites advertising the sale of cats. Various websites used by this firm are no longer active.
The telephone number for this company, 912-417-6697, is not a Georgia number.
BBB checked with Georgia's Department of Agriculture and determined that Lovely Cuties does not have a license to breed or sell animals in the state of Georgia. Anyone wishing to check the status of a breeder's license in Georgia may do so by visiting the Department of Agriculture's website at: http://www.kellysolutions.com/GA/petdealers/searchbyconame.asp.
Due to this company's failure to respond to BBB complaints and the lack of a valid Georgia license to do business, they have an F rating.
BBB advises extreme caution when considering the purchase of an online puppy, and offers the following advice on ways to avoid becoming a victim of an online puppy scam:
Tips regarding fake pet websites:
You find an adorable pet on a website or online ad. Sometimes, scammers claim they are breeders. Other times, they act like a distraught pet owner who must find a new home for their beloved dog or cat. Either way, once you've fallen in love with the pictures and videos, they ask you to wire money to make the purchase.
Once the purchase is complete, the "owner" promises your dog or cat will be shipped right away. But there are always "unexpected" problems: The airline requires a specific pet crate, you must pay for an expensive vet visit, or the shipper requires costly pet insurance. With each problem, scammers promise that they will refund the unexpected costs as soon as your pet is delivered. Unfortunately, your dog or cat never existed in the first place.
Tips to Protect Yourself from Pet Scams:
Never wire money to people or companies you don't know and trust. Once money is wired, it is gone for good. The same goes for pre-paid debit cards or gift cards.
See the pet in person before making a purchase. This is the only sure way of making sure your cat or dog exists and will be delivered to you without fail.
Research prices. Make sure you know roughly how much the specific breed you are interested in costs. If someone is offering a purebred puppy at an extremely reduced price, chances are it's a fraud.
