Toronto Russian Blue Kittens Corri (Corriana) and Adam Thorne Toronto Russian Blue Kittens URGENT SCAM WARNING! Scarborough ON
Report Attachments
We are passionate caretakers and advocates for the well-being of Russian Blues kittens for sale in Toronto, we share an URGENT cautionary tale for future Toronto pet owners!
We've recently endured a distressing ordeal with these breeders of Toronto Russian Blue kittens:
-
BREEDER NAMES: Corri (Corriana) and Adam Thorne
-
CONTACT INFORMATION: 647-336-5676 / [email protected]
-
LOCATION: 15 Orton Park Rd, Scarborough, ON M1G 3G3
-
THEY SELL ON KIJIJI: https://www.kijiji.ca/o-profile/1007591218/listings/1
Corri and Adam grossly misrepresented the age of Russian Blue kittens, leading to severe health crises for our beloved new family members, Cosmo and Blou.
YOUR CAUTIONARY TALE:
-
DECEPTION UNCOVERED: We were misled by a breeder, being assured that our kittens were 8 weeks old at the time of purchase. It was shockingly revealed that Cosmo and Blou were barely 4 and 5 weeks old, respectively.
-
CRITICAL HEALTH EMERGENCIES: Due to their premature age, both kittens suffered extensive health issues, requiring urgent veterinary care over 4.5 weeks. Blou faced a life-threatening situation in the emergency room, highlighting the severity of the breeder's negligence.
-
ONGOING RISK: It has come to our attention that this breeder continues to advertise and sell underage "Toronto Russian Blue" kittens, flagrantly endangering more innocent lives.

Please be vigilant and steer clear of these breeders!
WHY AGE MATTERS:
-
Our ordeal underscored the critical reason why kittens must not* be separated from their mothers before 8-12 weeks of age. Premature separation deprives them of vital antibodies from their mother's milk, predisposing them to stunted growth and serious health issues. https://www.treehugger.com/ways-know-if-your-kitten-was-taken-away-its-mother-too-soon-4868789
PREVENTIVE MEASURES:
-
VIGILANCE AT ADOPTION: To avoid falling prey to such scams, we recommend verifying the kittens' weight at the time of adoption—a healthy kitten at 8 weeks should weigh around 2 lbs. Our Cosmo weighed a mere 0.6 lbs, a fact we painfully learned only after emergency veterinary consultations.
A CALL FOR COMMUNITY ACTION:
-
HOW CAN WE PREVENT FURTHER HARM? We urge the community to consider steps such as contacting animal services, the Humane Society, or pursuing legal actions to protect these vulnerable beings.
-
SEEKING YOUR ADVICE: Your wisdom, experience, and suggestions are invaluable to us as we navigate this challenging situation. How can we band together to ensure no more kittens suffer as Cosmo and Blou did?
