Jerry Owens

She also wrote up this complaint to herself.
Then she placed Jerry on her FIP page after finding one of his ads on chocolatecats.com. and writing to ask him what cats were in his pedigree.

And here is the link Jerry provided us to his complaint on ripoff

http://ripoffreport.com/reports/0/197/RipOff0197969.htm

 

I just wanted to hear what you found out from Melanie.  You
said
>you had a conversation with her.  I don't know if that was Melanie
Lowry of
>Lollimops or not....?  Anyway, I was listed as a buyer from Melanie
>Lowry...owner of Lollimops and I never did talk to the woman.  I had
posted
>kittens for sale that were very, very healthy on the "Chocolate Cats"
info.
>board.  That is were I was found and contacted by this person (man or
>woman?), saying they saw that I had a Lollimops cat in my cattery and
I was
>going to be banned from use of the Chocolate Cats website unless I had
the
>cat KILLED!  This was blackmail.
  I was not the only one that was in
this
>mess.  I know you have seen the list that this person made for it was
>easily found on Google, but it was crazy.  She had some of the top
breeder
>in the nation and world
>listed.  I know some of them.  I had a cat that was from Melanie
Lowry's
>breeding, but I didn't buy from her.....I bought from someone else. 
Then,
>when I told that stupid person that I didn't buy direct, she acted all
nice
>and apologized to me and said, "I'm sorry, this is not your fault. 
I'll
>remove your name and your cattery name.  I apologize for the error." 
I
>thought this was over and all the while, this person refused my
invitations
>to talk on the phone....I offered to let them call me collect.  I
asked for
>a name of to whom I was speaking....never got anywhere.  Well, this
site
>was
>called Pedigreed Cat Breeder's Society with an email addy that was on
yahoo
>and another that was something like contacts@pbs.org .....WEIRD.  This
was
>a not response email address and I never got anywhere in discussion
with
>this person.  All this started the same time the HELL was going on
with
>Jennifer.
>My nerves were wrecked and I just about gave up on cat
breeding/ownership.
>However, I love the cats and I decided it was best for me to just keep
to
>myself and just leave this person alone.
>Well, to shorten the story.....finally, this woman has been flushed
out.
>Her name is Rose Marie Zizzo.  She had a cattery and due to many
things
>(one being the operation of this fraudulent website and posing as the
>president of this huge, very influential organization that was
>trademarked......), she has NOW BEEN BANNED FOR LIFE FROM THE CFA. 
The CFA
>got so many complaints about her slander of their names and cattery
names,
>that they began to investigate.  The woman is crazy.  I have NO
dealings
>with her....NONE!  I used to tell her things like...my cat is
>healthy....she is a very healthy
>girl and what she was claiming was totally false.  She claimed that
all
>Lollimops cats were FIP + cats.  Well, like my vet said, "FIP is a
test
>that can be done easily, but often is useless. 
It can give both false
>positives and negatives.  Symptoms of it within a cat is the best way
to
>identify it and the ONLY true way to see it as the cause of death is
post
>death examination."  She later went on to tell me, "Your girl would
not be
>4 years old and have had not one single kitten die, if she had FIP. 
Also,
>you would have other sick cats in your house."  I DO NOT!!!
>
>So, to make this shorter....this woman was causing me living HELL!!!!

>Well, due to all the abilities to buy domains names.....that allowed
this

now,

CFA for

June 29, 2006

Hi Melanie,
 
I'm a friend of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx's and she ended up with a cat from me
that was a daughter of a cat that I got from Xxxxx Xxxxxx.  The cat is
Lollimops Xxxxxxx. She has been a good girl for me and very healthy.  I am leary to say anything publicly for I stumbled into this mess totally by accident.  I didn't know this woman was after you like a rabid dog.  She contacted me after I posted a litter on the chocolatecats.com website and named the parents by name....then BOOM!!!  I got an email that was ugly and told me I was being listed as a "Bad Breeder" because I had this one cat.  I was just getting started and had only 3 cats.  One male and two girls.  I was super upset.  I didn't know who this was, why she was doing this, or anything.  I tried over and over to get her/him to give me their name and they refused. 

All I got was that this cat had to be put down or taken out of the
cattery and spade.  Why should I listen to someone that HIDES behind a computer screen.  I asked repeatedly to have a discussion on the phone.  Even offered to let them call me collect.  Still nothing!  Well, after I told her the cat was OK and my vet. has assured me that this cat could not have FIP and be her age and have had healthy kittens and the other girl with her doing the same.....she took my name off the list.  Well, she was playing friends with me then....she wanted to know where I got the cat for I told her that I didn't know you...I bought the cat from Laura Edwards.  She the put Xxxxx and her cattery on the list and wrote me a week or so later and told me she had no choice, but to add me to the list again.
 
I WAS BLOWN AWAY!!!   What had I done?  I was just trying to get
started and this crazy person was trying to destroy my name and cattery name from the beginning.  I just want my name off that list.  To date...you can do a search on my cattery name (XxxxXxxxx) and that silly stuff comes up and has cost me sale after sale.  Nobody wants to touch me.  I cannot imagine how this has influenced you.  I know she has fired NON-STOP at you with both barrels.
 
I'm glad that the Zizzo person has finally been found out and banned
for life from the CFA.  She needs more than that for she has really hurt many, many cattery names.  Some of them are the most well known in the world. 
All this just because she has some personal issues?  I don't really know what they are...and don't want to know.  I just want these searches with my cattery name to go away from making me look bad.  To date...this has cost me about 9 sales.  I'm sick of it!
 
Now....I'm looking for a new chocolate male for breeding, but once
again....this is hurting me.  I don't know what to do.  Right now...I
don't want anything I write put out publicly.  I just have been hurt too much.
 
I see you are closing your cattery.....is that due to this mess?  If
so, I can't say that I blame you.  I hate it for you, but how are you to make it with a person attacking you from all sides?
 
I did talk to the county president of the bar association here where I
live and explained all that was going on.  He did tell me that I could sue for defamation of character and slander for it was a detriment to my profitability of my hobby of cat breeding.  But he also added that it would be very expensive.  I don't have the money to do it.  And he did add....in the light of freedom of speech...she can phrase things and get around it. 
Like I'm not listed as a bad breeder, but a person that bought from
Satan "Herself"....YOU!  ***I don't mean you are....Zizzo does***
 
I have been please with my girl and she was already 2 years old when I
championed her.  She has has one male go on to champion and he will be
going out again this fall for grand points.  I have sold some that later turned out to be great cats...they were sold as breeders, but really became show cats.  I have had good results.
 
I would be interested in more in the chocolate and lilac color, but the
woman has smeared the Lollimops name so, so badly.....I am fearful of
it. 
This woman needs to get a life.  Does she sit all day at the computer
and look for ways to say bad things?  I just don't get it.  Honestly...all this, plus a con-artist that was a true con.....really took advantage of me, Xxxxxx and a few others.  She had some cats that had problems and she lied.
  She caused me HELL.  All this was going on at the same time. 
So......I've not been happy.
 
Well, Melanie...it has been nice chatting here. I just wanted you to
know that I have not had a problem.  Matter of fact, the show your girl
championed in...one judge wanted her.  I would like to have more big
boned and heavy coated cats like her.  Especially in choc./lilac.  I'm
getting into bi-colors now as well.
 
Just for my info., you still have cats you are selling?  I think
Xxxxxxx told me she was going to get a kitty from you.  I am still looking to get size and huge coats in my cats.  That is my challenge now.
 
Well, I know that was a poorly formed letter and I'm sorry.  I just
need to get moving.  Have a class to get to and I haven't even studied.  Mercy!
 
However, I'm so, so, so sorry that you have been through all this HELL. 
How have you stood it?  Is there not a lawyer that would be willing to go after this woman on a contingency basis?  You should sue the pants off of her. 
Well, I'll hold my tongue, but she should not be allowed to destroy
your love of cats, your cattery name and worst of all....your personal name. 
This is stupid!!!
 
If you care to write me back...that would be fine.
 
Take care and have a good day.
Xxxxx
