The breeder provides an honest appraisal of a kitten’s quality, though final adult quality cannot be guaranteed. Kittens are expected to go to their new homes no earlier than 4 months of age, unless mutually agreed otherwise by breeder and purchaser.

A pedigree will accompany each kitten/cat. Registration papers for kittens/cats sold will generally accompany the kitten/cat or be provided as soon as possible. Registration papers for kittens/cats sold as pet/alter quality will be provided when written verification is received from a licensed veterinarian stating that the kitten/cat has been spayed/neutered unless it has already been done by the breeder.

This agreement is made for our mutual benefit to protect the purchaser and the breeder,
as well as to make clear the conditions of purchase.

  1. This kitten/cat is guaranteed to be in good health at time of sale. Standard inoculations have been maintained on recommended schedules. We insist that you have the kitten/cat examined by your own veterinarian within 48 hours of purchase and advise the breeder of the results of the examination.
  2. Our basic health guarantee extends through veterinarian examination within two working days of pickup of kitten/cat, to include general health, and free from internal and external parasites. Any illness deemed by a licensed veterinarian to be due to the conditions at the breeder’s home (and so documented to the breeder’s satisfaction) will be considered the breeders’ responsibility. If illness occurs during this period, the breeder must be notified immediately and a licensed veterinarian must treat the kitten/cat promptly. The total liability of the breeder shall in no case exceed the total price listed above in this contract. The breeder guarantees that this kitten/cat to be felv-negative at the time of sale.
  3. This kitten/cat is sold as a pet at the above price and will not be shown. If in the future the buyer would like to show this kitten/cat the breeder must be notified and the kitten/cat must be evaluated before it is entered in any show.
  4. IF FOR ANY REASON THE BUYER CANNOT RETAIN OWNERSHIP OF THE KITTEN/CAT, THE BREEDER INSISTS ON NOTIFICATION SO THAT THE BREEDER MAY HAVE FIRST RIGHT OF REFUSAL OF THE KITTEN/CAT OR MAY APPROVE/ASSIST IN PLACING THE KITTEN IN ANOTHER HOME OF THE BREEDERS CHOICE. THIS WILL BE IN EFFECT FOR THE LIFE OF THIS KITTEN/CAT.
  5. The buyer agree to provide continuing responsible ownership, with due consideration of the welfare of the kitten/cat at all times. The kitten/cat will not be declawed or allowed to roam outdoors without supervision. This kitten/cat must see a licensed veterinarian yearly for a check-up in order to keep the kitten’s/cat’s immunizations current.
  6. If the kitten/cat had any difficulties or illness, we again request to be notified. We will do our best to assist in finding solutions to problems. Finally, in the rare tragic event that the kitten/cat dies within one year, especially of unknown causes, we request notification for the sake of the breed and related cats, and under these circumstances will request and will assist in payment for a necropsy.
