Belleayr Reviews 21

Yes, this breeder gives toys, insurance and claims the kittens are vaccinated but I have had a horrible time with my main coom kitten.
After taking him home, I took him to the vet the next day for a checkup. One of his eyes was leaking and there was a difference in pupils. Vet phoned the previous vet that the breeder claimed vaccinated the kittens - turns out, that vet had no record of that cat. Under any previous names from that breeder. Which meant he was likely unvaccinated and we had to pay for all his vaccines again later in his life.

He continued to have that leaky eye with different pupil shapes when it did. The vets maintained it was allergies.

Tonight just an hour ago he began yowling and limping out of the blue. He was a loved, spoiled and healthy cat. He passed away in my arms. In the morning I'm going to have to explain to our 4 year old son how our barely 1 year old cat he'd raised from a kitten, his best friend, is dead the day after my sons birthday.

We will find out tomorrow from the vet the true cause, however it's likely an underlying hereditary disease. Do not buy from this breeder! These cats are not healthy.

Great breeder. I got my lovely boy from BelleAyr just over a year ago and he has been a great addition to our family very sweet and kind natured kitten. Our cat came with free insurance, toys, food and all the pedigree paperwork. Kristina also gave plenty of usefull tips. You can clearly tell BelleAyr cares for their cats very much. Highly recommended if i ever decide to get more cats i would definitely contact BelleAyr again.

I would definitely recommend Belle Ayr cats to anyone wanting buy from a breeder. Kristina is helpful with any questions you have, even if you think it’s a stupid one, she’ll answer it and help you. Kristina keeps in touch, you can send her updates and pictures of your cats, she’s so helpful and nice. I got a beautiful wee cat from her a couple months ago, and she’s settled in lovely, she’s a friendly, good natured cat, as is the rest of her cats it would seem. I got toys to bring home with her, a big bag of food, so you’re almost set once you take your little one away with you. I’m very happy with my cat and with Belle Ayr Cats.

Great experience from start to finish. First time ever using a breeder, the process was very easy. Communication was very clear and Kristina really took the time to explain the process and help with any questions we had.
Would recommend 100%

Belleayr - caring cat breeders

We bought two cats from Belleayr, and the experience has been a pleasure from start to finish. Kristina is a very experienced, professional, and caring breeder. As novice cat owners, we found Kristina and her team easy to deal with, approachable, and full of advice (which is still ongoing - she is definitely my go-to with any issues/questions!). One of the standout aspects of our experience with Kristina was her unwavering commitment to the health and happiness of her cats. Kristina goes above and beyond to prioritize their well-being, ensuring they are raised in a loving and nurturing environment. Her cats are healthy, playful, well-socialized, and adored, which made us feel confident about bringing them into our home. She knows each cat's unique personality and traits, allowing us to decide which one would best fit into our lives.

Not only did Kristina provide us with two wonderful cats, but she also equipped us with everything we needed for their well-being. From premium food and litter to toys and more, she left no stone unturned in ensuring our cats' comfort. She even took care of the administrative side, arranging for insurance, vaccinations, microchipping, and providing us with all necessary registration certificates, health books, and information packets. This comprehensive care package is a testament to Kristina's commitment, which extends far beyond the initial transaction. It's clear that she genuinely cares about the lifelong well-being of the cats she entrusts to new owners.

Knowledgeable, honest, upfront, everything you want from a breeder. They work hard to find the best cat for your situation and your family.

Do not buy a cat from Bellayr.

This woman does not deserve to be a breeder. She blatantly lies and withholds critical information that puts the animals at BELLE AYR CATS lives in danger.

You will get a cat that you fall in love with, only for the cat to get sick and possibly die soon after you welcome it into your life.

Not only did our cat from BELLE AYR CATS arrived with undisclosed health conditions, it required emergency surgery to save its life for something that could have been totally avoided, had we been told the truth.

Read the other review on this page. That gentleman was also deceived by BELLE AYR CATS, and is in the process of taking this woman to court. We would be doing the same if we lived in the same country.

Here's our story:

We purchased a cat from this breeder which we absolutely adore. The sweetest cat ever. The problem is, the breeder insisted (on two separate occasions, in writing) that this cat was sterilized prior to the sale.

So when our new cat started having heat cycles, we were confused. We called our vet and asked how could this be? We have it in writing that this animal was sterilized. (We however, did not have any official paperwork from a vet confirming this, but we took the breeder at her word--big mistake).

Our vet said it's possible the breeders vet missed some tissue, and that heat cycles can happen. They advised not subjecting the cat to another surgery in such a short time frame, as that comes with considerable risk.

Well, guess what? The cat we received was never spayed. The emergency vet confirmed this with x-rays and an ultrasound. Plus, the cat we picked was a runt, too small to carry kittens, so why bother spaying her? Just lie to the people buying her, and say you had it done. Save yourself some money. And that's exactly what the breeder did. And our cat nearly died because of it.

Little did we know, unspayed cats often go on to develop Pyometra, which is an infection of the uterus. And if you don't catch it quickly, it causes sepsis and kills your cat.

Had the breeder been truthful, we would have known the cat she sold us was not spayed, and payed the $300 to have it done as soon as we got her. Instead, she lied. And the emergency surgery cost us $6,000 to save our cats life.

Now, what kind "ethical" breeder person sells someone a cat and lies about something they know could possibly kill it if left unchecked?

We would have gladly paid more to have the cat spayed upfront, or had it done ourselves. So why tell a lie that could harm the cat and break the hearts of it's new owners? It shows a complete lack of care for the animals she is bringing into this world.

This goes beyond getting one over on your customers. This is a person that could have easily prevented the pain and suffering one of her own cats had to endure simply by telling us the truth, and yet she chose not to.

Think about that.

We are so appalled by this woman's behavior and treatment of her animals. She views cats as nothing more than commodities. Do not fall for her facade.

This is the second time posting this review. The breeder had the first one removed, and then a whole bunch of new five star reviews showed up. DO NOT TRUST THIS BREEDER.

Cant recommend Belleayr highly enough. Wouldn’t go anywhere else. What a lovely
knowledgeable lady Kristina is. Seriously knows her cats and is totally focused on their wellbeing. I am delighted to say I have two of Kristina’s beautiful retired cats along with my old Persian. One of which I have just recently brought home. I would love one of her kittens but with my current circumstance this just wouldn’t work for me. Who knows maybe in the future 🤞
Please feel assured that you are in safe hands if you are considering getting a cat from here. 😺

Kristina is lovely and her cats are beautiful and well taken care of. The whole process was easy and she answered all my questions quickly and with lots of knowledge. Very reputable and would recommend to anyone!

I found the whole experience excellent. From contacting them as an initial query to the actual purchase of our kitten. They always replied to my emails, giving me great advice and support. Any concerns I had I was able to contact them and they put my mind at ease. No question was silly and I felt I could ask them anything. Overall the quality of service and support was amazing. This was our 1st pet and we are so glad we chose BelleayrI would highly recommend them. Even now I am able to contact them whenever I have a query or question. Superb and friendly service.

I got both of my fur babies from Kristina and both times it was a wonderful experience. I found Kristina when I was researching breeds for my first fluff. Of all the breeders I contacted she was by far the most helpful. It’s clearly not just a business to her but she wants her kittens to have a wonderful life. She even offered to link me in with other breeders about other breeds. Kristina takes the time to match a kitten to you and on both occasions she was spot on! Honestly it’s like they were meant to be mine. With first fluff she also started harness training him before he came to me. She’s always on hand for advice and keeps in touch to hear how the fluffies are getting on with their adventures. I also got lots of advice on cat trees, harnesses, toys etc before they arrived - by luxury cat courier no less.

My fluffies are honestly perfect. Such incredible temperaments that everyone comments on. They’re gorgeous inside and out. So affectionate and friendly. They also bonded together so quickly - full siblings but had never met before. The matching for second fluff couldn’t have been better as they bonded and were fully integrated in five days. Kristina provided me tailored advice based on the personalities of the two cats and how well matched she thought they were. It was perfect and they’re such a bonded pair now and clearly adore each other. Given we live in a flat that was needed as we do live in fairly close proximity.

They’re incredible with people, on the harness, in the pram. They make friends everywhere they go - the vets, the butcher, florist. They’ve clearly been well loved before getting to me. They’re also very clever and learn more complex games like fetch, pool, whack a mole etc very easily. They don’t overeat and are well able to manage their appetites (unless it’s steak then all bets are off). Play with any toy they get enthusiastically. It’s only when I talk to others I realise their personalities are not typical as it’s all I’ve known.

Would 100% recommend and would always get my cats from Kristina …. May need a bigger home before I get more though. The advice before, during and after the selection process is second to none.

The short version: We are extremely happy with our interaction with Belleayr and the entire process of getting our kitten from them. We would recommend them highly if you want a kitten or a cat.

The longer version:
We came across Belleayr while looking for a reputable breeder for a kitten.
We contacted them after scouring their website, and we're very happy to receive answers to all of our questions before we'd even agreed on a visit or potential purchase.

On the day of our visit, we received a warm welcome and spent over an hour in the company of an entire clowder of different breeds, playing with the kittens, petting the older cats and generally asking too many questions (we were distracted by the kittens).

We made our decision a day or so later, after a couple more emails, and received all the instructions we needed to complete the process and make sure we had everything we need for our own little ball of fur.

Overall, the process from start to finish was very smooth and we are extremely happy with the newest addition to our family.

Great communication with Kristina at Belleayr throughout the process. She answered all my questions when enquiring about a kitten and has been a great source of advice and guidance since bringing him home. My kitten is such a joy and very handsome.

I have purchased 2 cats separately over past few years and each time it was so joyful and smooth. I told Kristina what type of cat I wanted (I’m so fussy) and we got our perfect cat with Kristina’s help, she is always there to answer any questions - great communication with pics/videos and such a lovely person. The cats are so loved and well looked after so you know your baby is coming to you from a great home. If ever getting anymore kittens/cats I will always go back to Belleayr. I would definitely recommend. Gorgeous cat family, so glad I came across Belleayr. Xx

Had a fantastic experience with Belle Ayr. I'm a first time pet owner and any questions were answered promptly and thoroughly. They have a great deal of care and love for their animals and I'd highly recommend them!

This was my first time getting a cat from a breeder and Kristina made it so easy. She not only answered my many questions via email but when I went to pick up Enby, she spent an hour or so chatting everything through and letting me meet his parents and grandparents. We were sent off with a care package and she has been great at answering any other queries. It has been great to meet Kristina and chat all things cats, I'm aware that she does research and I actually know some of the academic researchers she works with. What is striking is how much all her cats respond to her and how well socialized they are. Thoroughly recommend.

Kristina’s passion for cat breeding produces amazing animals. I have been lucky enough to have aquired two cats from Belleayr and they have both been the most calm, gentle and friendly cats I have ever experienced.

Kristina is always quick to offer advice or help when needed and provides excellent post-purchase support. She is a very responsible breeder who clearly cares deeply about her cat’s wellbeing and early socialisation.

From start to finish dealing with Belleayr was fantastic. Regular updates, videos and messages about my kittens progress. On collection day my kitten came home with a welcome pack food and toys. I would recommend Belleayr to anyone looking for a new kitten.
