Seller guarantees this Cat/Kitten is in good health, free of feline leukemia, feline immunodeficiency viruses, and any other major infectious diseases to the best of the Seller’s knowledge at the time of sale. The kitten is guaranteed without genetic diseases for 12 months. If the Kitten/Cat should die or be destroyed within these time limits from genetic diseases, the seller will replace the Kitten/Cat upon being provided an autopsy report. This guarantee becomes void if this Kitten is given a FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis), FeLV, FIV, Giardia, or ringworm vaccination. This kitten will have been dewormed and had 1 (one) or 2(two) kitten shots, known as 3-way kitten FVRCP boosters. The seller agrees to provide a complete record of all deworming and vaccinations for this kitten/cat.

The seller also does not guarantee the kitten against any adverse reactions to future vaccinations or veterinary care.

3.2. Seller guarantees the Cat/Kitten is free of any hereditary malformations (genetic defects) to the best of the Seller’s knowledge at the time of sale. In the event a fatal genetic defect is found and confirmed in the Cat/Kitten by a practicing veterinarian within a year from the date of the purchase, the Seller agrees to replace the Cat/Kitten with another Cat/Kitten of equal value or better when one becomes available, assuming that the Seller was notified in writing of the health issues at the time they occurred. A necropsy report with an explanation by the Cat/Kitten’s attending veterinarian must be provided to the Seller prior to the replacement Cat/Kitten being given to the Purchaser. Common cold/URI is not covered under this health guarantee. No money will be refunded to the Buyer in case of the Kitten’s demise. No replacements if the kitten is hurt by a dog or child.  The health cannot be guaranteed if the kitten is around other cats allowed outside. Seller will assume no responsibility for diagnostics, treatment, veterinary costs, veterinary certification, shipping costs, nor any other expenses associated with situations arising from Cats/Kittens hereditary malformations.

3.3. The Seller will have completed all of the age-appropriate vaccinations and all health care up until the Kitten has been shipped to or picked up by the Buyer. A copy of the kitten's health record will be provided to the Buyer at the time of purchase. At that time, all health care will become the responsibility of the Buyer, and the Seller is not responsible for any veterinary expenses. The seller will not be responsible for any shipping cost.

3.4. The seller provides a 72-hour limited warranty that the above Cat/Kitten is in good health at the time of pick up/shipping. (Details of the limited warranty are outlined in the Buyer Obligations Section 1)

5. Seller may initiate legal action against the Buyer if this Cat/Kitten is found to have been neglected by the Buyer, or is in ill health for an unreasonable length of time, or without proper care or cruelly treated, or if the Buyer does not abide by the terms of this contract in the Seller’s opinion.

6. If, for any reason, the Buyer cannot keep the kitten/cat, the kitten/cat must be returned to Lapdolls Cattery. If the kitten/cat is ever returned or surrendered back to Lapdolls Cattery for any reason, except for a problem covered with a Health Guarantee, no refunds will be given to the Buyer.

 

BUYER’S OBLIGATIONS:

1. The Cat/kitten is in good health and free of communicable diseases at the time of this sale. Buyer agreed that they shall have 72 hours from the delivery date to have the Cat/kitten examined by a licensed veterinarian at Buyer’s sole cost. For a period of 14 (fourteen) days, Kitten/Cat must be guaranteed from other pets.

If the Cat/kitten fails the examination within that time frame, the Buyer may return the Cat/kitten, with a written statement from the veterinarian, for a full refund. 

Failure by the Buyer to have the Cat/kitten examined within the 72-hour period will nullify this warranty.

If the Buyer chooses to keep the Cat/kitten, no replacement will be given, and all medical costs and treatment are the Buyer's sole responsibility. This health guarantee will be null and void, and no further health guarantee will be given or honored.

Any necessary treatment or other expenses are the responsibility of the Buyer. All health-related decisions and expenses are the responsibility of the owning party. (No refunds will be given). Upon pick-up/arrival, the Cat/Kitten must be quarantined to prevent contact with any other pets in the house until the Cat/Kitten has been thoroughly examined by a veterinarian. Failure to quarantine, causing exposure to other pets, will void the health warranty. If the veterinarian finds any physical problems that make the veterinarian think the Cat/Kitten is a poor health risk, the veterinarian should write and sign a note on his/her letterhead stationery, explaining his/her findings within the first 72 hours after pick-up.

2. The Buyer agrees to provide the Cat/Kitten with a clean, pleasant environment, conducive to good health and longevity and with adequate space for exercise. At least one litter box will be provided for each cat in the household and will be cleaned daily. The Cat/Kitten will be kept un-caged for the main duration of its life. The Buyer will provide the Cat/Kitten with fresh water available at all times, proper nutrition in the form of food that is healthful and balanced for a feline, and a scratching post at minimum. The Buyer will provide the Cat/Kitten with proper veterinarian care, vaccines, companionship, and exercise.

3. The Buyer will not let the Cat roam outdoors. Letting the Kitten/Cat roam outdoors puts this animal in jeopardy of attack or of coming in contact with sick animals and other dangers and violates this contract, thereby avoiding the warranty. If the Cat/Kitten is found to be kept in an unsuitable environment, being neglected, or is poorly cared for, the Seller will reserve the right to request that the Cat/Kitten be immediately and unconditionally returned at no cost to the Seller with NO REFUND of purchase price and/or the Seller may initiate a legal action against the Buyer.

7. The Buyer understands and agrees that this Cat/Kitten is being sold as a pet only and NOT for breeding.

8. The Buyer agrees to return the Cat/Kitten to the Seller if circumstances beyond the Buyer’s control occur that would prevent the Buyer from continuing to provide a satisfactory level of care and ensure the lasting well-being of the Cat/Kitten regardless of the Cat’s age. The Buyer will return the Cat/Kitten at Buyer’s expense, and no refund will be issued to the Buyer in this case.

9. The Buyer agrees to feed the kitten/cat Life`s Abundance food at least until the kitten/cat is on the health guarantee term (16 months from the update). Pick up on ______________Buyer’s Initials: ____________________
