This
agreement is made for our mutual benefit to protect you and ourselves, as
well as to make clear the conditions of this purchase.
The conditions
of this sale are as follows:
* The Buyer accepts the responsibility of caring for
this Cat/Kitten and providing properly for its welfare. The Buyer agrees
to follow the Breeder’s instructions on care, housing, diet, treatment,
and health.
* The Buyer agrees that this Cat/Kitten will always
receive prompt medical care and recognizes the necessary need for annual
booster immunizations.
* The Buyer agrees to provide companionship for the
Cat/Kitten and will NEVER leave the Cat/Kitten alone for more than
24 hours unless arrangements have been made with a responsible person to
provide companionship, fresh food and water at least once a day.
* The Buyer agrees to provide a generous amount of
exercise for this Cat/Kitten, provide it with toys, and to NEVER
confine this Cat/Kitten except for necessary isolation during an illness.
The Cat/Kitten is NEVER to live in a cage.
* The Buyer agrees that this Cat/Kitten will be kept
indoors and NOT allowed to roam freely outside.
* The Buyer agrees that this Cat/Kitten will NOT
be declawed. We suggest that the Buyer keep the Cat/Kittens’s nails
clipped and will provide a scratching post or toys to scratch on.
* The Buyer agrees that this Cat/Kitten will be
spayed (females) no later than 8 months and neutered (males) at 9 months of age. Upon the Breeder (Mellokat) receiving
the receipt from a licensed veterinarian’s verification of altering, the
Buyer will then be provided the registration papers. We recommend
Isoflourine gas for anesthesia. It is by far the safest for your
Cat/Kitten. Please DO NOT use Ketamine anesthesia because cats can
have adverse reactions and die.
* The Buyer is to provide a lifetime home for this
Cat/Kitten. Buyer will contact the Breeder (Mellokat) if it becomes
necessary for the Buyer to give the Cat/Kitten up and the Cat/Kitten will
NOT be sold or given to any Pet Shop, Research Facility, Animal
Shelter, or similar institution. Mellokat will assist the Buyer in finding
a suitable home for the cat if necessary. If a suitable home cannot be
found then the Cat/Kitten would be returned (at Buyer’s expense) to the
Breeder (Mellokat). The Breeder has the right to refuse to allow the
return of a sick or infectious Cat/Kitten until the Cat/Kitten is well at
the Buyer’s expense. A receipt of health from a licensed veterinarian
would be given to the Breeder before returning Cat/Kitten.
* If there are other pets in the household, Breeder
suggests that the Buyer isolate the new kitten from their other pets for a
minimum of one week. New kittens may show signs of stress including but
not limited to, sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, diarrhea and/or
constipation. These effects can be minimized by feeding the identical food
as served by the Breeder, offering bottled or distilled water and overall
reducing stress during the adjustment time. If food is to be switched to
another, gradually add the new food over a 7 - 10 day period.
* The Buyer should send photos of the Cat/Kitten to
Mellokat at the ages of six months, nine months, and one year and every
year thereafter. The Buyer should also enclose a brief note describing the
health and temperament of the Cat/Kitten. This clause is of great
assistance to Mellokat in evaluating its breeding program.
Health Guarantee
* The Cat/Kitten has had all Distemper vaccinations and
has been checked by our veterinarian and is in good health.
* The Breeder guarantees that the Breeder’s cattery is
FeLV Negative and at the time of sale, the Cat/Kitten is free from any
disease.
* In order to qualify for this guarantee, the
Cat/Kitten must be examined by a licensed veterinarian within 48 hours
(except weekends). If the vet finds that the Cat/Kitten is ill within this
time the Cat/Kitten will be returned for a full refund. Under no
circumstance will the Breeder be responsible for payment of any medical
treatment provided to the Cat/Kitten by the Buyer. The Breeder warrants
that this Cat/Kitten is genetically sound and will replace the Cat/Kitten
with another of equal value of half of the original sale price if this
kitten dies within one year of the purchase date from a genetic defect.
The defect has to be evidenced in an autopsy report from a licensed
veterinarian and presented to Breeder (Mellokat).
* I am in full agreement and agree to abide by the
terms and conditions of this sales contract.
