1. The Seller guarantees that the Kitten/Cat is free of any disease at the time of sale to the best of Seller’s knowledge. The Seller is not to be held responsible for any type of common feline infections that are known to affect cats, including FeLV and FIV, as Buyer agrees that these are conditions that are beyond the control of the Seller after the Kitten/Cat leaves the cattery.

The Seller is not liable for any expense, veterinarian or otherwise, incurred by the Buyer throughout the Kitten/ Cat’s life.

3. The Kitten/Cat is sold as a household pet only, and will be neutered/spayed by the Seller prior to leaving. If the Kitten/Cat is not neutered/spayed by the time it leaves the Seller, the Buyer agrees to have the Kitten/Cat neutered/spayed by the time of 6-month old. All kittens are spayed/neutered at the Buyer’s expense unless otherwise specified. TICA registration paper will be provided once the proof of spay/neuter is completed, which is signed by a licensed veterinarian and sent back to the Seller. Otherwise, the Seller will reclaim physical and legal ownership of the Kitten/Cat with or without due process of law for breach of the Agreement with no refund of the purchase price.

A second examination by a veterinarian of the Seller’s choice corroborates these claims. The costs of transportation, vaccinations, microchip of the new Kitten/Cat is at Buyer’s side under this case.
Buyer’s Guarantees:
1. Under NO circumstances shall the Buyer agrees to have the Kitten/Cat de-clawed. Declawing is amputation and is often the causes of litter box problems ( “inappropriate elimination”). This can lead to abuse or abandonment of the Kitten/Cat, which is a risk that the Seller is not willing to take.
