Under no conditions can this kitten be sold- leased or given to a pet shop, research lab or similar facility? Should the owner find they can not keep the kitten, they must contact the breeder, who will help them place the kitten in a new home. If a family member or a friend wishes to adopt the kitten/cat from prior owners, the PRIOR owner must give the details of ownership to the breeder. Any change in address etc. should be also given to the breeder to maintain updated files, on ALL kittens sold.

1. This kitten was purchased as a PET, which means he/or she has been or will be spayed – neutered on or by:__________. Should the owner not meet the spay/neuter agreement, the new owner will owe the seller an additional $1000.00 for the breeding rights. It will be due and payable one week after notice from seller that the spay/neuter agreement was NOT met by owner.

Note: The flight cost for your kitten is paid to the airline, when you pick you kitten up at the airport. DO NOT send the funds to seller unless otherwise agreed upon in statement above (I.E.: Other charges)

3. Buyer agrees to maintain the cat's health. Which means feeding quality food recommended by your vet/ or seller. Visiting the vet yearly for update of shots, not allowed cat to roam freely outside the home. Keep coat groomed and clean. Above all give the animal a generous amount of love and attention.

4. To the best of the seller and their veterinarian, this cat is free from ear mites; fungus, fleas and is in good health at the time of sale/shipment. An international health certificate will come with each kitten signed by our veterinarian, which indicates that they have been examined and found free of any health issue or skin problems at the time they ship to the new owner. All kittens are shipped with “Advantage” flea control applied to assure they do NOT pick up fleas on the way to the owners home.

5a. The new owner has been asked to take the kitten /cat to their vet within 72 hours to assure themselves they have purchased a healthy animal. Should for any reason the buyer's veterinarian disagree with the good health of our kitten, they must write a short report on their letterhead, with the health concerns identified. Should the kitten need to be returned to seller, owner agrees to contact the seller after the 1st rejection visit to their vet (within 24 hours of this visit), to agree upon the return process.

5b. The buyer must return the kitten to the seller and the seller will take the kitten to their vet, for any care required to correct any health issues.

5c. The seller will give a replacement kitten (of equal value, when available) or the seller will take over the care of the kitten and return to the buyer, once the health has returned to normal. (This will be based on customer/seller determining which method they would prefer the action to be). If a kitten is to be returned to a seller, then a vet rejection health report , will be sent along with the kitten. No refunds are ever given for any reason. Should an owner decide they simply do not want to keep the kitten or get a replacement, then they forfeit the funds paid to the seller.

6. All of our kittens/cats have a 100% genetic guarantee, which means that IF a kitten/cat dies of a genetic fault, due to faulty breeding, a kitten of equal value is given as a replacement, from another pedigree line. (This does NOT cover disease, which are NOT due to genetic transition).

7. We operate a closed cattery, which means that all cats have been tested for (using the “IFA” and “Eliza” testing) FIP and found negative. We maintained testing for any NEW additions. We do not bring in any animals without confirmation that they are also negative. (Show cats are kept away from the general breeding population, unless retested). Most recently there is research to create a new DNA test for FIP in cats, once this test becomes available in our area (at an affordable cost), all of our breeding stock/cats will be tested to confirm they are negative. In the mean time, this illness will fall under the genetic replacement policy, should there ever be a loss of life, due to this disease. (This is providing the owner NEVER allowed the FIP vaccine to be given).

8. The new owner will receive all registration papers with the kitten if the cat/kitten was spayed or neutered prior to ship or pick-up date. Otherwise, the new owner agreed to spay/neuter the animal by the age of (6) six months of age. If they do not meet this agreement, then they have agreed to pay an additional $1000.00 for the breeding rights, which will be due and payable upon written notice from breeder.

8a. Other paperwork which will come with every kitten/cat: _____ All Medical Health Records: (1st, 2nd set of Felovax 4-way killed vaccines, de-wormed, spay/or neuter certificate, rabies, international health certificate) _____Pedigree Certificate _____Contract _____Sample food kit (only one per household) _____CCA Litter Reg. _____CFA litter Reg. _____Clean, Social, healthy kitten, trained (for bath/blow dry/nail clipping &100% litter trained to clumping litter) ____Grooming lessons _____Feeding Instructions

Note: You must agree to keep the kitten on the same diet for the first month, that he/she eats at the breeders as well as the same litter. Should you & your vet decide you wish to change the diet after this period, you MUST do it over a ten (10) day period, moving slowly up on the new diet and down on the old. Otherwise, you risk making your kitten very ill (and he/she can get loose stool & dehydrate as well as loose large amounts of weight and potentially die if not cared for quickly). If you choose to change the litter, you must verify that he/she is using the new litter, as changing litter can cause kitten to become confused and they stop using their pan. De-clawing your kitten has also been known worldwide, to cause the animal to stop using their pan for up to two years later. It is not clear why, but assumed it may be due to pain from digging in the litter.

8b. WARNING: It is also important for the new owner to understand that the type of vaccine used by your vet MUST be a “killed” vaccine, like “Felovax 4-way”. (Most vets use “modified live” vaccines, which are known to mutate into other diseases, once the vet places the vaccine in the body). Therefore, you would want to verify the kind of vaccine your vet gives and request he use ONLY the “killed vaccines”. Additionally, it’s also important that you do NOT allow your vet to give two many shots at one time. Example: you can safely give upper respiratory and rabies at the same time but I strongly suggest that if you want to give the Leukemia shot, you wait until your kitten is 6 months of age and also that it is a “killed vaccine” given at least thirty (30) day AFTER any other shots. This is NOT a shot needed for inside cats, which are NOT coming in contact with outside cats. NEVER allow the FIP vaccine to be given, it is still experimental and known to cause the disease. (If your kitten gets this disease, there is no cure and your kitten will die). Your kitten comes with all shots required for an indoor kitten/cat and does NOT require any more shots for one year, from the date of the last set of shots (assuming your kitten has also had rabies).
