Buyers Initials _______ Furthermore if for any reason the kitten/cat is returned to the Breeder/Seller, Buyer agrees to pay all expenses, including shipping costs, mileage and re-examination expense by Breeder/Seller's veterinarian. This examination will include a complete ‘viral panel’ blood test for FELV, FIP, FIA and FIV viruses. If kitten/cat is returned to Seller for resale on behalf of the Buyer, the terms of this resale will be agreed upon under separate written agreement. Buyers Initials _______
The cat/kitten is guaranteed to be of sound health upon arrival. It is guaranteed for a period of 36 Hours from the purchase or arrival if vet checked within that time. It is recommended that the new cat / kitten be in quarantine for at the very least this first 72hr to 2 weeks.
3. Buyer accepts the responsibility of caring for the kitten /cat and will provide properly for its welfare and understands this kitten/cat is being sold as an indoor only kitten/cat. BUYER agrees to keep the kitten/cat indoors at all times in a clean and pleasant environment, uncaged, with companionship, and adequate space for exercise. Above kitten/cat is ONLY allowed outdoors while on a leash and while under close supervision. Buyer understands that allowing a kitten/cat to roam freely outdoors could cause kitten/cat to pick up a life threatening disease/illness from dirt/grass or other animals as well as causing other possible life threatening effects on kitten/cat such as being hit by a car or attacked by other animals. Peterbalds are even more vulnerable because of their lack of fur. It is comparable to being outside with unprotected skin. They are at risk of insect bites, sunburn, frostbite, and torn skin from sharp rocks or branches. The buyer therefore agrees that their companion pet will not be allowed outside except while in a carrier, when it is in a secured escape proof play enclosure, or on a leash.
4. Buyer understands that there are many plants that are poisonous and toxic to kitten/cats. Buyer agrees to educate himself on plants that are dangerous to cats/kittens and agrees to remove or place all of these plants out of reach of kitten/cat before kitten/cat is in Buyers possession. Breeder/Seller will not be held responsible for injuries caused to kitten/cat by plants in Buyers home. **Buyers Initials ______
Declawing is removing the kittens fingers, these kittens have webbed feet, this can cause the kitten to not walk, loss of litter box training, emotional trauma, & physical damage.There is a $5000.00 penalty to the Buyer from the Seller, for having this kitten declawed. The penalty is due & payable at the time the kitten will be reclaimed by the Seller. The buyer acknowledges that the Kitten/cat will not be declawed, now or in the future. If the Buyer can not keep the cat it is to be forfieted to the Seller, for rehoming, no charge to the seller & no refund to Buyer. Kitten/cat must be vet certified as healthy to come back to Seller, at the expense of the Buyer.
5. Buyer understands that Declawing is a Mutilation involving the amputation of a large portion of the Cats' toes (Monkey fingers), which will alter the kitten/cat's temperament and general mental & physical well-being. Buyer understands that if the kitten/cat is declawed it will render the health guarantee *VOID*.
Buyer agrees that above kitten/cat will NEVER be declawed and that adequate scratching posts and regular nail trimming will be provided. If cat is declawed the seller has the right to seize the cat/kitten at no recourse by the buyer, plus all expenses incurred.
6. *If Cat is sold as "Show Cat", Buyer agrees to enter cat in competitions only in peak show condition as expected in entries for TICA or other Cat Fancier Associations. Because Breeder/Sellers can not determine how a kitten will grow and mature to any definitive degree the Breeder/Seller does not and can not guarantee this cat will win any kind of award from any Cat Association &/or similar organization. Many factors come into play, such as illness, injury and grooming which play a big roll in a cat winning awards at Cat Shows. Kittens sold may be shown at the descretion of the Seller to the Buyer, for entertainment sake. Winning is in the eye of the Judges.
7. Buyer agrees that a kitten/cat, when entering a home where there is another animal present, will be isolated for a period of up to 2 weeks and will only be gradually introduced to other animals in the home. It is strongly advised that even a kitten entering a home with no other pets should be gradually introduced to the household, being isolated in one room with its waste container and food for at least two weeks, to allow for adjustment to its new home. Each kitten/cat will differ in the time it needs to bond with its new family. Please allow the kitten/cat ample time to adjust, especially if the kitten/cat has been shipped. A period of two to four weeks should be the very least amount of time allowed the cat/kitten for an adjustment period. Longer if this is an adult cat or there are children in the house. Please give your new friend and family member a chance to bond with you and its new surroundings. Your new kitten/cat needs to feel safe and secure for its unique individual personality to surface.
