Terms and Conditions:

Health Guarantee

Seller will provide the cat/kitten’s vaccination record to Buyer and guarantees the health of said cat/kitten for five (5) business days against kitten viruses from the date it leaves the possession of the Seller. When said cat/kitten leaves our cattery, to the best of our knowledge, it is in healthy condition. However, in the event that said cat/kitten should be diagnosed with a medical problem that can be cured, this would not qualify for a replacement. If you have other cats, we recommend that you place your new arrival in quarantine for a period of not less than two (2) weeks. We recommend that you take the cat/kitten to your own veterinarian (at Buyer’s expense) within the first ten (10) calendar days for your own satisfaction and protection. You, or your veterinarian, shall report to Seller any medical problems within the guarantee period. If the cat/kitten is found to have medication problems within the guarantee period, it must be reported to the Seller within twenty-four (24) hours of its discovery. Failure to make this report within the time frame will void this guarantee.

Each cat/kitten will differ in the time needed to bond with its new family. Please given the cat/kitten ample time to adjust, especially if the cat/kitten was shipped. A period of two (2) to four (4) weeks should be the very least amount of time allowed the cat/kitten for an adjustment period, and longer if this is an adult cat or there are children in the home. Please give your new friend / family member a chance to bond with you and its new surroundings. Your cat/kitten needs to feel safe and secure for its unique and individual personality to surface.

Refunds and Replacements, and Expenses

There shall be no refunds of the purchase price, shipping charges or other costs. There shall be replacement of the cat/kitten only under the circumstances provided below:

If the cat/kitten is found to be in unsound health with life threatening, incurable disease, or found to have a permanent congenital defect, by a licensed veterinarian within ten (10) calendar days, the cat/kitten shall be returned to the seller or euthanized upon approval by the Seller, unless Seller authorizes other options. The Buyer may then request replacement with another cat/kitten of equal value. Said replacement will be made as soon as a suitable replacement is available. A medical report signed by the examining veterinarian must be provided to the Seller prior to a replacement being made. There shall be no replacement unless under the Health Guarantee period only, or except as stated below:

The Seller will not replace any cat/kitten that has not received adequate and appropriate care from its new owenr. It is the responsibility of the Buyer to provide immediate veterinary care (at the Buyer’s own expense) to any cat/kitten showing signs of illness or distress, and failure to do so will render any guarantee null and void. Under no circumstance is a cat or kitten to be euthanized prior to notification by the Buyer to the Seller. Unsound health shall be defined as any condition which is life threatening or incurable, and shall not include curable conditions such as, but not limited to, infections, gastrointestinal upset, upper respiratory viruses, bacterial infections, parasites or skin rashes.

Should the cat/kitten be diagnosed with a treatable condition wtihin the first five (5) business days, the Buyer may request that the Seller cover the expense of treatment. If extensive, this will be required at the Seller’s location / hospital of choice. Minor issues such as upper respiratory infections, diarrhea, or intestinal parasites may be treated by the Buyer’s own veterinarian.

Should the cat/kitten die within THREE (3) YEARS of its birth date as a direct result of an unknown (at the time of sale) congenital birth defect, said cat/kitten may be replaced if an appropriate necropsy is performed by a licensed veterinarian, and a veterinarian’s certificate is provided as proof of cause of death. Trauma, abuse or neglect will void this guarantee.

The Buyer assumes responsibility of all expenses incurred in relation to the cat/kitten after said cat/kitten leaves the possession of the Seller, as well as any expense incurred at the request of the Buyer before the cat/kitten leaves possession of the Seller. If for any reason, the cat/kitten is returned to the Seller, Buyer agrees to pay all expenses including shipping costs, mileage, and re-examination expenses of Seller’s veterinarian. This examination will include a complete viral panel blood test for FeLV, FIP and HIV viruses, and any treatment required due to disease contracted while in the care of the Buyer.

Vaccinations

Your cat/kitten has had the required vaccination series excluding FIP and FeLV vaccines. We do not recommend vaccinating this cat/kitten unnecessarily, however, if there are special circumstances in your household, i.e. an indoor/outdoor cat that may expose this animal to disease, or a cat already in the household that is positive for feline leukemia, the Seller recommends that the Buyer follow the advice of their veterinarian with regards to vaccination.

Shipping

The cat/kittten, if shipped, comes to you with a veterinarian’s health certificate and record of vaccinations. All cats/kittens must be shipped prepaid. Shipping costs will include all costs incurred by the Seller including, but not limited to, a carrier, health certificate, airline cost, etc. Specific shipping arrangements will be determined in advance and confirmed to Buyer by Seller, with the cat/kitten’s best welfare in mind. This signed Agreement must be returned to Seller prior to cat/kitten being shipped. Note: we do not ship cats as cargo. We will, however, send a cat with a courier to Buyer’s location at cost to the Buyer.

The Buyer becomes the owner of said cat/kitten upon Seller’s receipt of payment in full. The cat/kitten will be cared for by the Seller until the arranged shipping date, or until Buyer is able to take possession of the cat/kitten. This period of care is not to exceed fourteen (14) days from the date of sale unless otherwise agreed to by Seller. In the event this time period exceeds the time stated, Buyer agrees to pay boarding charges on said cat/kitten at a rate of five ($5) dollars per day. Boarding charges are to be paid in full prior to shipping or release of said cat/kitten.

Breeding Animals

Only cats purchased as breeders will be guaranteed for both testicles to descent. Said cat cannot have been bred and must be returned to seller at Buyer’s expense before a replacement kitten will be provided, and only when suitable replacement becomes available. Breeder also does not guarantee the size of said cat at maturity, whether purchased for breeding, show exhibition or as a companion.

Spay / Neuter

If the cat/kitten is purchased as a companion, it will be spayed or neutered prior to being transferred to the Buyer.

Housing, Care and Transfer to a Third Party

Buyer agrees that this cat/kitten will be kept indoors and not allowed to roam freely outside. Under NO circumstances will this cat/kitten be sent to a shelter or otherwise disposed of, nor shall this cat/kitten be sold, leased or given away to any pet shop, research laboratory of similar facility. If Buyer wishes to resell this cat/kitten or becomes unable, or no longer desires to care for this cat/kitten, Buyer must give Seller first right of refusal to purchase said cat/kitten or return cat to Seller at Seller’s expense. Buyer agrees that Seller has the right to retrieve said cat/kitten if Seller does not adhere to all provisions of this contract or if cat/kitten is found to be neglected or abused.

TERMS

The use of the term cat/kitten presents the same as the plural cats/kittens in the case of more than one cat/kitten being purchased under this Agreement.

I agree to all the terms as stated herein:

If Buyer chooses to make payment in part or full for said cat/kitten prior to signing this Agreement, then Buyer agrees by making payment that he/she has read and agrees to all of the Terms and Conditions contained herein, which then becomes binding and supersedes any signed hard copy of Agreement.
