My husband and I purchased a kitten from hidden acres in 2014. The next day we had to take him to the vet he couldn’t open his eyes they almost sealed shut with eye discharge. When we were at the vet he was diagnosed with an feline herpes, upper respiratory infection, eye infection, ear infection. He had fleas and also had ringworm. The ringworm was by far the worst part it was extremely hard to get rid of and my husband and I both got it as it’s highly contagious and our dog got it as well. We spent well over $3,000 in the course of 5 months treating all of his illness. As soon as we knew all of this was going on I got into contact with Amanda and she basically said that she wasn’t liable for any of the things he was diagnosed with. Pretty much didn’t care at all that she was breeding sick animals and costing people thousands of dollars. The other problem is feline herpes is life long and they can have flare ups at any time in their life. His last flare up cost us $1,500 and multiple eye specialist appointments. Long story short do not buy from them unless you have an endless supply of money.
In July 2016, I purchased a kitten from a breeder, Amanda Halvorson, who runs Hidden Acres Exotics. Her website lists Seattle but her actual home/place of business is Arlington, Wa. Our kitten died this week of Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) which is a fatal virus without a cure. It is contracted from other cats. Our cat is exclusively indoors and had never been exposed to other cats since being with her littermates and cat parents. I have since learned that there have been other concerns from previous purchasers- 1 in 2014 who purchased a kitten from her and it since died of FIP. Other concerns from previous buyers include kittens with ringworm. Ours also had ringworm which was later treated. Unfortunately FIP is not treatable and we no longer have our sweet kitty.
