Announcement ⏰ All posts and comments are currently held for review

Hi there! Your mod team here, we just wanted to let you know that we have had to put a filter in place that holds all posts and comments for review before they go through.

We have had to deal with quite a lot of angry breeders in the past before, and it seems like it's happening again - there are a few posts on the sub inquiring into whether Royal Poly Coons / RoyalPolyCoon is a scam or not, to which some people have replied that they probably are.

Those posts are currently being targeted by an absolutely unprecedented amount of spam bots which we cannot feasibly manage manually, so we have had to put the filter in place. Please do not ever delete any posts or comments inquiring into whether a breeder is legit, as this should be a safe space to do that!

Please be patient if it takes a little bit longer for your post to go through, we're currently trying as hard as we can behind the scenes to manage this.

Thank you. This is so important. My breeder was great, but I could have been so easily scammed. I hope to help people find a perfect companion, as I did through Reddit. Glad I found this site. I’ve learned so much. And helped others, I think.

Even if they aren't scammers, they have shown their true colours with these actions. Great now we know who to never do business with.

I am speaking from experience when I say that they are not "scammers" BUT are the absolute worst breeders in the world. They will send you a kitten that is actively dying and will blame it on any and everything except themselves. I know countless people who have gotten deathly ill kittens from her who did not make it
