The sellers are believed to be using multiple Craigslist and Kijiji accounts to sell sick kittens for between $250 and $1,200 — in parking lots.
Two people in Surrey are under investigation by the B.C. Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals for allegedly selling sick kittens to at least 11 buyers.
“In many cases the animals begin showing symptoms of illness days after purchase, and several of the kittens have died,” stated Eileen Drever, senior officer, protection and stakeholder relations for the BC SPCA. According to the SPCA, the kittens are being sold for between $250 and $1,200. Breeds vary but may include domestic short hair, Russian Blue and Maine Coons, said Drever. The complaints have come in over the “past several months.”
“No reputable breeder would sell animals this way and it is a huge red flag that something is not right,” said Drever, who urged people to thoroughly research their purchase.
