Kaiser Opera Cattery

This breeder is so unprofessional that I believe her practices to be unethical. I worry about the safety and health of the kittens she produces. This worry has only intensified after reading the reviews here. I only wish I had checked her out on Unilocal before deciding to do any business with her at all.
She communicates with you openly and often UNTIL you have given her your deposit. Then she disappears. No amount of emails or calls will result in actual contact with her. I contacted her no less than 20 times over the months following my deposit, to ask about the health and progress of my kitten, and to inquire when he might be ready to come home, so that I could make the proper arrangements. I never received a single response. At the price you pay for one of her kittens, I would have expected regular updates, perhaps with pictures and descriptions of how his personality was developing. The very bare minimum would have been a response to any of my calls or emails. She didn’t even do that.
Finally, many months later — far more months than should have passed, based on how old he was when I placed the deposit, I received a brief email telling me he was ready to go home. I immediately replied, trying to set up a date to come pick him up. Another 3 – 4 weeks passed before she confirmed one.
On the day in question, we drove up to Oceanside and arrived at the address she gave us exactly 8 minutes before our appointment. At 4:30 sharp we rang the weird doorbell. There was no answer. We waited there for an hour and a half. We rang the doorbell, knocked on the door and windows, and tried both of the phone numbers listed multiple times. I emailed her from my smartphone to let her know we were here and ready to pick up our kitten. She never responded.
As we sat there in the car, that’s when we finally decided to look at Unilocal — hoping there would be a working phone number for her. Imagine how much more devastated we were when we discovered she’d been screwing other people over for years. I burst into tears, realizing I’d spent all these months preparing for a kitten that I would probably never see — or if I did, he’d probably end up being sick. Further research told me that there were several open cases against her filed with the BBB. We were never going to see our kitten OR our money.
But, as I said, she never responded. When I saw never, I mean NEVER. We never, ever heard from her regarding the kitten. Not only did she never come to the door, never answer the phone, never call us back — she never ever called us to tell us what happened. She never ever emailed us to set up a new pickup date. She NEVER CONTACTED US AGAIN.
Believe me when I say we tried to email and phone her several times. We finally just asked for our money back, because she was clearly not going to give us the kitten we’d put a deposit on. No response. Ever.
The only communication I have ever received from her is this: she emails me every few months to tell me what new kittens she has available. In other words, I must be permanently on her mailing list. But she never contacts me as a human, as a professional, to take responsibility for her complete lack of, well, responsibility.
How is this woman running a business? How are people still getting their cats from her? After all the horror stories I’ve read here about the health of her kittens, I can’t believe she’s still in business.
I am writing this review for all the people who are thinking about getting a kitten from this cattery. DON’T. Save yourself all the heartache and the theft of your money. The experience will be nothing but torture from beginning to end. I only pray that this woman — and her poor vulnerable kittens — finally get what they deserve.

I had a bad experience too about a year ago. First she said my kitty had a heart murmur and didnt feel comfortable selling it to me so i picked another one. Then, closer to the date i was to pick up my kitty, she didnt answer for 3 weeks. She gave me this excuse about the cats getting an ear infection, and that she had to keep it another 2 weeks. I was suspecious because i read the reviews and also looked her up on google and found other public record stuff that made me suspecious so i asked for my money back. I lost my deposit. She avoided the situation until I kept insistening. A maria had left a negative comment a few months ago too which she was gonna get a cat from the same time i was going too. Idk what happened to that comment but BE AWARE. I wouldnt trust her 100%. She does not reply emails and guves excuses that she had to go to a funeral, etc. I also

I should have listened to the warnings! Shortly after posting the previous review, another Unilocaler alerted me about her dealings with Milada and her lack of communication, the kitten she paid for in full developing a condition, Milada not taking her to the vet, etc. This Unilocaler’s experience made me doubt signing the contract and making any further payments to Milada. I contacted Milada via email and phone calls, but it is still impossible to reach her. She answers when she feels like it, never sent me the pictures I requested of the two kittens I paid a deposit for, and I found her to be disorganized and irresponsible.
If anyone is in the mood to deal with a very shady and expensive transaction as a result of getting their hopes up after looking at the cutest kittens on her website, then email her your application. She’ll answer right away! But after she receives your money, the kitten you «reserved» may not be all that healthy or available and she for sure isn’t available. I was understanding of her «busy» schedule at first. But for her to not answer paying customers… that’s just ridiculous! One more thing, don’t believe what she claims on her website. There is no raw food being fed to the kittens. In an email from her, she admits feeding them «junk» dry food as she put it and that now it’s too difficult to get them to eat anything else! If I’m going to pay for a kitten, it better be fed the best available food… but not this lady.
I ended up frustrated and quite frankly, I don’t feel bad about cutting my communication with her and blocking her. I’m the one who lost money, she keeps the poor kittens, and my search for an honest breeder continued. Thankfully, I found someone who is informative, answers quickly, and gives evidence that you’re dealing with healthy cats. Milada as a person, I don’t know. She could be a nice lady, but she should not be in charge of breeding and selling because she plays with peoples’ emotions, takes their money and doesn’t have the kittens’ interest at heart.
Please research her thoroughly before giving her your hard earned money! You may find out that all that she has to offer are cute pictures online and nothing else. NOT worth the headache and heartache!
For anyone who is trying to reach her but can’t…try this number. I believe it’s her cell phone (not listed on the website): 760−721−4242

I’ve purchased cats before but NEVER so loving and well trained and socialized and… so much more! The love that our cat came into our home could only have been nurtured by Milada. This cat is healthy, loving and playful. I’m going back to get another to keep him company.
Milada is knowledgable, caring and very professional. Her care for her animals goes beyond what any other cattery can offer. I’ve done a lot of research and had pretty good as well as bad experiences in the past, but Milada is the ONLY person I would recommend to someone wanting a healthy, playful and loving cat to add to their family.

We had a great experience in our adoption of Speck aka «Poopers» in Feb 2013. We drove down and picked our little baby up from the her home. We took Poopers to the vet immediately upon return to the Bay Area and she was and continues to be a perfectly healthy, happy, loving and playful little baby.
I am in the process of purchasing a second kitten through her (Poopers was a gift to my ex-​boyfriend and will be reunited with him in the near future). I would be lying if I were to say the negative reviews didn’t make me a bit apprehensive but will remain hopeful my second experience will be just as positive as the first.

Be warned this women Milada Kaiser sold me a sick kitten In 2010. The kitten had ringworm and had convulsions.
We returned the kitten however she refused to pay me my money back. I took her to court and won the case. She still never payed me my money back plus hospital and vet bills and ny daughter has scars from wring worm. She owes me $ 3000.
She is a professional con artist selling sick cats.

Be warned that this cattery owner, Milada Kaiser, took my deposit for a kitten ($ 103) and never delivered the kitten. I called and e-​mailed many times. She finally answered me saying that the kittens were small and needed more time with their mother. Three weeks went by, her website went down, and she responded to my inquiry by saying that she had her purse stolen in the Walmart parking lot and was busy. Another few weeks went by and she finally called to say that the kittens have a yeast infection and their fur was patchy, but are on meds and will be ready in less than two weeks. Another month went by and I sent her an e-​mail saying that I want my deposit back. She responded by saying the kitten is ready, it’s so cute, and we can meet today or tomorrow. So I called and e-​mailed but never got an answer. This ordeal started on November 9, 2012. It is now February 12, 2013. To say that she is crazy cat lady is way too benign. She is a liar and a thief. I did get a kitten from her last year without a problem. Her cats are expensive, between $ 600 — $ 1800, but they are beautiful and very sweet but she’s nuts and I’ve been ripped off.
