~PURCHASE CONTRACT~
Conditions of Sale
We strive above all else to breed the best Exotic Shorthair Cats we can.
We buy the best
quality ESH breeding/show cats we can, to use in our breeding program,
so that our kittens will conform to the
CFA breed
standards for Exotic Shorthair Cats. Our breeding stock are DNA tested for PKD, HCM and are Vet checked for FeLV.
Our kittens get a wellness checkup at 7 days and again at 9 and 12 weeks, when they get their first and second Vaccinations.
Seller guaranties that this cat/kitten is in good health to the best of my knowledge and experience and is up to date on all vaccinations and has been treated for worms. However, Seller is not a Veterinarian. My judgment as to the cat/kitten’s overall health is not a substitute for your personal Veterinarian’s examination of your new cat /kitten.
To validate this health guarantee, the Buyer MUST have the cat/kitten examined by a licensed Veterinarian
within 72 hours from the day of receiving the cat/kitten.
Should the Buyer neglect to take the cat/kitten to a licensed Veterinarian for examination within 72 hours of the pick-up date, the Buyer accepts immediate and full responsibility for the cat/kitten’s health, and no exchange will be made, NO EXCEPTIONS.
Our cats/kittens are free of fleas, fungus and parasites at the time they leave our cattery. However, the Seller does not guarantee against fleas, fungus, parasites or ear mites as these are very treatable and are common in Cats in general. Although our Cattery is clean with no bugs or fungus, we are unable to guarantee against these conditions. We have no control over what might already exist at the Airlines or during shipping, at the cat/kitten’s new home or even at your Veterinarian’s office.
If there are other cats in the household, the new cat/kitten MUST be quarantined until Buyer’s Veterinarian certifies its health, otherwise cat/kitten’s health is not guaranteed. It is advisable to isolate the cat/kitten from other Cats for at least 2 weeks, so that the cat/kitten can adjust to its new surroundings and other pets with minimum stress.
The Buyer agrees to maintain proper veterinary care for the cat/kitten, including, but not limited to, yearly vaccinations and exams.
Our kittens get their first vaccination at 9 weeks and again at 12 weeks. We will not ship them until 12 weeks.
If you leave your kitten in our cattery until the third vaccination is due, you will be required to pay for the Veterinary office calls and vaccination expenses at our Veterinarian. We only pay for the first 2 check-ups and vaccinations.
After receiving your cat/kitten, If your Veterinarian certifies in writing that the cat/kitten has a serious life threatening health problem or defect, the cat/kitten and a certified statement must be returned to the Seller within one week of Buyer receiving cat/kitten to receive an exchange of another cat/kitten of equal value, as one becomes available.
There are no cash refunds and no pick of cat/kitten in this exchange.
This cat/kitten is guaranteed against congenital defects for One Year. Should the cat/kitten die within that time, as a direct result of a congenital defect, the cat/kitten will be replaced only if a necropsy is performed by a licensed Veterinarian Lab, and it is written in a certified report from the Veterinarian Lab that the cause of death was by a congenital defect.
The body of the cat/kitten and the certified cause of death from the Veterinary Lab must be returned to Seller.
A replacement cat/kitten of the same quality will then be given to the buyer, as one becomes available.
There are no cash refunds and no pick of cat/kitten in this exchange.
Spay/Neuter Agreement
If the cat/kitten is purchased as a Pet and has not been previously neutered/spayed, the Buyer agrees to spay/neuter the kitten at the age of 5 months or within 30 days after purchasing an adult Cat.
Seller will send CFA Registration papers once Buyer provides proof of spay/neuter.
Registration papers will be restricted for any cat/kitten bought as a pet, regardless of cat/kitten quality.
If purchasing a breeding cat/kitten Buyer will receive full Registration through the CFA Cat Registry office.
However, Seller only guarantees that the cat/kitten will be registered for breeding rights and will not be spayed or neutered prior to the sale of said cat/kitten to the Buyer.
Seller does not guarantee that said cat/kitten will Champion at Shows, be fertile or that cat/kitten will figure out how to breed when they come of age.
Seller does not guarantee any cat/kitten is homozygous for short hair unless genetic testing is done by a licensed Laboratory. Buyer is responsible for all cost of this testing.
