Hi there
Nice reading from you in regards of my Teacup Yorkie Puppies . I
still have available for adoption two kittens a boy and a girl .I
call the boy Miki and Winnie the girl .These babies have been trained
since they were a kitten to never scratch on furniture because they
were taught how to use a proper scratching post. They have not been
declawed. My babies have not been spayed. They are strictly a house
cat and have been living in a smoke free and very quiet home.They are
very friendly, very gentle, very playful and well behaved because that
is i raised them and when you meet these yourself you will fall in
love with them. They aren't too demanding of attention. they’ll follow
you around and show an interest in what you’re doing .My babies get
along with everyone, including dogs and other cats and they adjust
well to multi-pet households. they enjoy playing fetch and are willing
to learn to walk on a leash, making them a great choice for anyone who
travels frequently and would like to bring a feline companion along.
They are very intelligent and used to some tricks such as fetch and
even to shake hands. My puppies are handled from birth, monitored and
given the attention needed for them to thrive. They are used to their
litter box The puppies are raised underfoot, not kept in cages and
are in constant human contact on a daily basis. When my babies leave
our home to go to yours, they're ready to be a loving member of your
family. They had their first vaccines at 7 weeks for distemper,
calicivirus, rhinotracheitis,at 10 weeks they had their 2 vaccines at
10 weeks for Feline Leukemia .They just received their 3rd vaccines for Rabies.
Their parents are purebred Teacup Yorkie's and are registered . I do give
out my puppies for adoption to those who love and have a great
passion for this breed .
I fell in love with this breed and want others to learn about them.

Am wondering if its your first time to adopt a Teacup Yorkie?

Where exactly are you located ?

I am hoping that a pet-loving and caring person or family will accept
my babies into your home and make them part of your life. I am are
not selling them for money because for me that does not feel right, i
am genuinely care for them and all i want is for them to be truly
happy and well taken care of .
You will get all their accessories such as litter box, automatic dog
water fountain, pet food storage container that holds a large bag of
pet food, grooming brushes, pet shampoo, toys, and so much more!

So if you always wanted a new family member like my babies please
contact me today. Am located in Dayton,OH. I live in a small
one bedroom and with little space for a litter box, I guess I want to
have my life bit easier now...no more cleaning up after fur balls and
dealing with cat hair...I know it sounds horrible. I also have to
adjust my schedule for them. Also, I travel a lot and will be away
this summer and have no one to care for them...in other words, I feel
that they might receive more love and attention from someone else!I
can't travel for more than a month because of them...I can't bear to
leave them alone for more than that....and it is difficult for me to
find a sitter and i tried calling a cat adoption center but feel it
would be cruel to leave them caged in such a hectic cold setting. It
would be frightening for them to be left there!!! So i was told the
best way to give them out its through a cat adopting website .
I do love them but for a while now, trying to maintain them has been
getting in the way... of my life...if that makes any sense. I know I
must sound like a terrible owner. I would feel better about giving
them up if I knew they were in a loving environment. I have been
struggling with this decision for some time now...I have given their
mother best home I could for 7 years and now I would like to pass the
kittens along to someone who would love them even more and possibly
give them a better home. They are extremely adorable, its going to be
easier for you to adopt them because of their beauty and because they
are so affectionate.

Attached to this mail are some pics .

Best regards .

It is ALWAYS a scam
If the pet seller or shipper asks for money to be sent via Western Union, Money Gram, any brand of gift card. Walmart To Walmart , Zelle , PayPal friends and family option, or mentions Cameroon

I got the same thing with Toyger kittens. The strange spacing around the words "toyger" and the kitten's names made me suspicious. So I googled the email address and found scamwarners.
I probably wouldn't have fell for it anyway, but since I live near the alleged location of the kittens, and they still wanted $350 to ship them, it was really a huge tip off.

Here's the email I received.

I've also noticed they have the same post using the same photo for multiple areas of the country. That ad for Maine Coons is in Chicago and South Carolina.

Hello ladyemily,

The scammers often post ads in multiple locations to increase their chances of getting a victim that will pay the shipping costs to a fake shipping company.

If you have any additional questions about pets scams please ask.

It is ALWAYS a scam
If the pet seller or shipper asks for money to be sent via Western Union, Money Gram, any brand of gift card. Walmart To Walmart , Zelle , PayPal friends and family option, or mentions Cameroon
