- Breeder assumes no responsibility for any medical expenses incurred after possession.
- Breeder suggests not doing any vaccines outside of the core vaccines. We do not vaccinate for FeLV/FIV. Vaccines are per the Buyer and their vet's discretion. All vaccines carry health risks and are not a result of my cattery or genetics. Any vaccine death or injury due to vaccines or seems within a timeframe of just receiving a vaccine will not be covered.
- Buyer agrees to keep the kitten indoors unless on a leash or safe catio.
- Buyer agrees to keep the kitten in sanitary conditions with food, water, toys and companionship.
- Breeder does not guarantee the full-grown size of the kitten. Buyer may be given an educated guess as to full grown weight, understanding there are too many variables besides genetics for absolutes.
- Buyer agrees to not declaw said kitten.
- Breeder suggests keeping the kitten quarantined from other animals for 7 to 14 days.
- If Buyer does not give said kitten adequate care, Breeder will not replace said kitten. It is the responsibility of the Buyer to provide immediate veterinary care at the Buyer's expense.
- Buyer agrees to provide said kitten with annual ongoing veterinary examinations and other veterinary care as needed.
- This guarantee does not include said kitten having minor illnesses and health issues such as colds, allergies, ringworm, internal or external parasites. We can't guarantee our kittens against illness or opportunistic parasites brought on by stress such as moving (from our house to yours.) However, Breeder will disclose any known illnesses or health issues prior to the sale.
- Buyer agrees to forfeit all monies paid for said kitten and Breeder has the right to retrieve said kitten if abused or neglected.
- Buyer suggests having blood work performed prior to any surgery.
- Breeder recommends spaying your female by 6 months old. Females are very prone to Pyometra. Failure to spay your female and complications of Pyometra will not be covered in this contract.
- Breeder recommends neutering your male by 9 months old to prevent spraying.
- Breeder recommends to not use Ketamine and Ketamine cocktails for anesthesia which is linked to organ failure in cats and even death at the time of surgery, Buyer recommends finding a vet that uses GAS ONLY for Spay/Neuter, dental work, or any surgery. The SELLER will not cover death during any surgery or organ injury during a surgery or side effects
as a result. Some vets are reluctant to admit the link between heart failure, organ damage, and death as a result of ketamine or a ketamine cocktail of any injectable anesthesia with cats. However, there are vets who are aware that some cats have a reaction and will only use gas for
cats (safe gasses for cats are sevoflurane or isoflurane). You are your cat's advocate, please keep them safe and be their voice. - Breeder is not liable for any complications of any surgeries as there is always a risk of using anesthesia.
- Buyer must show proof of neuter/spay by the kitten's first birthday for the contract to be valid to their 2nd birthday.
- All sales are final, without refund. Which includes deposit and delivery fees.
- Buyer agrees to not breed said kitten without breeding rights.
