CATSNAP Statement on the Lucky Puppy Boutique (at Marketplace Mall) CATSNAP does not support the sale of companion animals (cats or dogs) for profit, period. Lucky Puppy Boutique and Barkery owner Kari Prior claims to be "different" from other pet stores, yet utilizes several class B dealers and other suspect breeders who have multiple breeds for sale. CATSNAP President Susan Norris said, "Whenever a breeder claims to offer multiple breeds for sale, people need to question if it is a legitimate breeder or simply a puppy mill. Reputable breeders generally focus on one breed of animal, not 10 different breeds. Ms. Prior claims she uses reputable breeders but the facts do not seem to support her contention." The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) has said that class B dealers, like the Hunte Corporation in MO, that Prior uses to obtain some of her puppies, are "no friend to the animals" (see article). In fact, HSUS even warns: "Don't be misled by claims that its dogs were not bred in puppy mills (More)." CATSNAP urges potential clients to look to breed rescues and the local animal shelters instead buying a puppy from Prior's store.

(Left to Right: Prissy Pants, Molly, and Thor) Mom cat was feral (pictured at left in a humane trap at the
vet clinic where she was spayed). She was sterilized, eartipped, and returned to
her outside home. She continues to be fed, has shelter, and has a safe
existence, thanks to Marilyn in Urbana. For more info on feral cat help,
