Conditions of Sale:
- The buyer and the breeder acknowledge and agree that this kitten is being purchased as a pet (which means that it will not be used for stud service or breeding in any fashion).
- If not spayed/neutered prior to going home, the kitten is to be spayed/neutered by age 6-10 months. TICA papers will be emailed once proof of spay/neuter is received. If proof of sterilization is not received by 10 months all health guarantees are voided.
- Breeder guarantees that this kitten is healthy to the best of her knowledge. If any health concerns are found the buyer may return the kitten to the breeder within 7 days with an explanation from the attending vet for a full refund of the purchase price. No medical or travel charges will be refunded.
- During the first 7 days this kitten should be isolated from any other pets and monitored for health, eating, litter box usage and activity level. The breeder is not responsible for any injury or illness to other pets caused by exposure to this kitten.
- Seller assumes no liability or responsibility for any veterinary care for this kitten after the buyer takes possession of said kitten. Under no circumstances will the seller be responsible for any veterinary bills incurred by the buyer.
- Breeder warranties this kitten against fatal congenital/genetic defects for a period of 2 years. Breeder will replace the cat when one becomes available or refund the purchase price. The buyer will provide the breeder a necropsy at the buyer’s expense, stating the cause of death is unquestionably a congenital/genetic defect.
- The breeder is not liable for any expenses for non-genetic illnesses, veterinarian or otherwise, incurred by the purchaser throughout the kitten’s life. This includes conditions or infections such as colds, viruses, parasites, or bacterial infections as these can be contracted anywhere in the environment after leaving the cattery and are not a result of genetics or breeding. Please understand that no breeder can guarantee that your kitten will never get sick or develop a disease.
- Although FIP is not a congenital fault, it will be covered for 2 years. If the kitten dies of suspected FIP a postmortem will be required as this is the only way to confirm FIP. I have read that FIP is misdiagnosed approximately 80% of the time.
- This kitten will be kept indoors and not be allowed to roam freely outdoors.
- Under no circumstances will this kitten be sold, leased, or given away to any pet store, research laboratory, breeding mill, or similar facility.
- The buyer agrees this kitten is not to be declawed or all health guarantees are voided. This cattery feels this surgery is very inhumane and does not agree with this practice.
- The breeder does not warranty the kitten against any adverse reactions to future vaccinations, anesthetic, or surgeries.
- The buyer agrees to buy quality kitten/cat food and provide adequate sanitary facilities. Buyer also agrees to provide adequate veterinary care and vaccinations. Kitten should receive regular claw trimming and be provided with a suitable scratching post.
- If at any time in the future buyer can no longer keep the kitten, they are responsible to find a suitable home. If buyer prefers, they can return kitten/cat to breeder and breeder will find a suitable new home, but no refund will be given. This is to ensure that none of the breeder’s kittens end up in a shelter or rescue situation.
- Buyer will be signed up for Royal Canin petfirst.ca and Pro Plan. This program does benefit the breeder by offsetting some food costs and allows her to give out the samples and coupons. You may opt out of the program at any time by unsubscribing.
As the buyer, I accept this contract and agree to abide by the terms thereof and acknowledge receipt of receiving a copy of this agreement.
