Heather Goerdt, Bad Breeder Gulf Coast Exotic Felines, Savannah Cats Florida

12 days ago, I posted an open letter to Heather telling her I would be willing to work on a settlement.  I received absolutely no response.  Heather has tried to claim that for months, she tried to settle with me after I received Sable.  This is absolutely untrue.  She tries to prove her claims by showing a certified letter receipt from the post office.  She claims I refused the letter.  I did not.  I simply ignored it.  I did not know who it was from and despite her claims, the post office notification to me did not show who it was from. 

In her claims about this certified letter, she claims it contained an apology and settlement offer.  She has NEVER posted that letter online.  It does not exist.  I believe her certified letter contained a cease and desist which has no legal value as I am legally allowed to post my experiences with a business transaction.  There is no libel here.  This is why she cannot post what the letter actually contained.  This "apology" and "settlement" letter does not exist.  She does not post an apology letter or a settlement letter because then she would be bound by it in the eyes of the public.

So again I reached out to Heather publically and received nothing.  Not a single word.  She is a liar and I have proven that her mother, Melissa Collingwood Goerdt Coleman, is an accomplished liar herself.  She made claims on my blog, on Heather's blog that she was nothing more than a casual friend of Heathers.  Public claims where she denied outright that she was Heather's mother up and until I posted proof otherwise.  Heather's response to my posting was an admittance that this Melissa woman is her mother along with a so what and what business is it of mine...well the so what and what business is it of mine goes to show how callus and unapologetic they both are for their continual lying.  Melissa Collingwood Geordt Coleman continually sent me nasty emails and posted on my blog repeatedly since I received Sable in early April, that is the so what.  That is where it became my business.

Heather's mother was co-owner of Heather's cattery through at least 12/31/2010.  Heather claims that the fictitious filing expired in 2007 (one year later).  Not true.  If you look at the filing that I posted, it expired 12/31/2010. 

I have paid $2818 plus $1997 for Sable and her medical bills caused by the long term neglect of Heather Goerdt Gonzalez.  That is an enormous amount of money to pay for a cat with no papers.  Personally, I question if Heather even has the papers.  However, even pet buyers get papers and I should have papers on Sable.  I have nothing.  As a result of Heather's continual lies and unwillingness to resolve this issue, I have decided that I will now pursue all of my money back to include the vet bills.  I do not believe Heather has the papers and I do not think I will ever get the papers so therefore I will be seeking to be made whole by any means possible.  Because Melissa Collingwood Goerdt Coleman was an owner on record at the time I signed the contract with Heather, I will be pursuing her as well for financial damages.

I have proven repeatedly that Heather sent me a cat near death and extremely ill.  I have proven that heather has maintained a very dirty and sick cattery causing great damage to property.  I have proven she has a history of fraud and misrepresentation involving animals.  I have proven her and her mother have no problem lying repeatedly.  I have proven all of this with facts and documentation.  Others have asked me to post their story about Heather and her cats in order to warn others of her.  There are more people who have gotten sick cats from her.  There is nothing I have stated that I have not backed up with documentation.  I have tried repeatedly to settle this with Heather, 2 other people have stepped in trying to settle this with Heather and she refuses.  Despite her claims, she has not ever once reached out to me to settle this.  It was because of me that others stepped in to try and resolve this and each time Heather was uncooperative and expected me to foot the bill on a sick cat.  A cat sick due to her long term neglect.

All I can say is if you are reading this and you are considering buying a cat from her, beware.  You have been warned.   Look at the documentation throughout all my postings and consider if this is how you would like to be treated?  Because what she does to me, she will do to you.  I am not the first, I will not be the last.  Her habits of animal neglect, fraud, and misrepresentation span over a period of years.  She will not change and she will do this again.  And to those that have sold her cats or are considering selling her cats.  Read the statement from the Cleaners that I posted.  That is the environment your cats live in.  Heather's pleas of innocence, misunderstandings, and exaggerations by the people who have sued her hoping to recover some of their damages is simply another lie, consider that if indeed Heather is telling the truth and she is just a victim, that would mean:

- 2 people who won a 15k judgement on a sick and misrepresented horse would have lied
- 2 people who owned a house severely damaged by her and her cats that required extensive repairs and a great loss of their own property also would have had to conspire and lie.  They would have had to manage to get multiple repairmen to conspire and lie and house cleaners to conspire and lie along with some of the neighbors as well
- multiple people who have gotten her cats in the past all would have to be lying about how sick they were and the obvious behavioral issues the cats have
- myself along with 4 vets and multiple vet techs and admin staff (about 20 people) would all have to be lying.  This same vet staff is one of the top vet practices in the DC area and is used by at least 3 top savannah breeders that I can think of
- those here that have seen Sable would also have to be lying

And this doesn't list the additional domestic cases that are against both her and her mother that I have not listed - another one involving someone that was cheated out of money.

That's a lot of people all of whom don't even know each other all conspiring against poor little Heather.  Why would all these people conspire against her?  They wouldn't.  Good luck if you get a cat from her....I will be pursing her and her mother in the courts and will add yet another public court document to their pages of court cases they already have against them.  At this point, it is a matter of principal.
