I researched vintage cattery extensively prior to purchase. I was cautious about using western union, until i learned why they use this method. Vintage cattery has been scammed by people who have purchased their cats via other methods and then retrieved the payment after receiving the cat. I believe one person actually stole 5 cats from them by using paypal and reporting the transactions after receiving the cats.
Through research, i found many positive references and could not find any bad information about the cattery, and so i took the plunge.
I have now purchased 4 cats from vintage: 1 bambino, 3 regular sphynx one for my mother).
From owning 4 of their cats and having spoken to numerous individuals who also own their cats, i don’t have a single bad thing to say about this cattery.
The health of my cats is perfect. Their personalities are exceptional! you could not ask for more loving and socialized babies. You don’t get cats this well balanced from somebody who is not taking care of them properly. They are outstanding.
I stand behind this cattery and wouldn’t go anywhere else. There are a lot of dirty breeders out there, vintage is not one of them.
Please be aware of Vintage Cattery, located in Russia, they specialize on selling sphynx cats, elf and dwelf. Initially I contacted those people about one of the kittens they posted for sale, but apperantly they don’t accept PayPal or any other types of payment that insures buyer, even though on their website it says Visa and MasterCard.
It’s a lie, they don’t accept those methods of payment, only Western Union. It’s a joke, why would anyone send cash to some folks in a different country? And the most important part is that those guys resell kittens of different breeders. How do I know? After I looked at their website again I realized that 12 out of their 15 kittens posted for sale have different dates of birth within 5 month range.
No real breeder can have 15 litters in 5 month. What type of health guarantees can you get from that type of a reseller that accept "cash” only type of payments? None. Stay away!
My name is Lydia, I am a breeder of Vintage Cattery.
It is a pity that this person did not indicate his name. Apparently she / he has something to hide.
We have a very large cattery. We have more than 20 producers, their pictures you can always find on our website.
Also in our cattery 10 employees. Therefore, we can allow to have a large number of litters, even more than 15 kittens in 5 months. The person who wrote the review above has obviously never seen more than one producer and does not know what a real cattery is.

We did not have such a buyer.
Before shipping, all kittens are examined by a veterinarian, including lamblia and HCM
