DEPOSITS
A deposit (holding fee) is placed to hold a particular kitten for a buyer. All
holding fees are non-refundable. The goal of our cattery is to place our
cats/kittens in loving homes in a timely manner so they may bond with their
new family. If a cat/kitten is held specifically for a buyer, a change of mind
can quite often jeopardize the chance for that particular kitten to be placed
in a home while still at a desirable age. The minimum required amount is two
hundred dollars ($200.00) if the kitten is under six weeks of age. At least
one half the total purchase price shall be paid at the time the kitten is 8
weeks of age. When the sale of the cat/kitten is consummated, the holding fee
shall be applied towards the balance owing on the purchase price.
THE BUYER becomes the owner of said cat/kitten upon Seller’s receipt of
‘Payment in Full’. ‘Payment in Full’ and receipt thereof supersedes a signed
Sales Agreement being in the possession of the Seller. ‘Payment in Full’ will
be held as a binding agreement to purchase said cat and will be held in lieu
of a Sales Agreement being signed by Buyer and returned to the Seller. The
cat/kitten will be cared for by the Seller until the arranged shipping date or
until Buyer is able to take possession of cat/kitten. This period of care is
not to exceed fourteen (14) days from date of sale. In the event this exceeds
the time period stated, Buyer agrees to pay board on said cat/kitten at a
boarding charge of five dollars ($5.00) per day. Boarding charges are to be
paid in full prior to shipping or release of said cat/kitten. In case of
inclement weather, preventing safe air shipping, seller agrees to hold
cat/kitten at no charge to buyer until weather is suitable to safely ship.
SHIPPING
Costs are to be
paid by the Buyer, when purchasing a kitten that must be shipped. Cat/kitten
can be shipped ‘Freight Collect’ or ‘Prepaid’. If it is necessary to prepay
the shipping costs, an estimate will be provided to the Buyer. The Seller at
the Buyer’s expense will provide an airline-approved carrier of suitable size,
at the cost of ($35.00). A Health Certificate is required (not to exceed 10
days prior to shipping) at the cost of ($35.00). Full payment of health
certificate and carrier must be paid to the Seller prior to shipping,
including shipping costs unless freight is to be ‘Freight Collect’. Specific
shipping arrangements will be determined in advance and confirmed to Buyer by
Seller, with the cat’s/kitten’s best welfare in mind. This signed agreement
must be returned prior to cat/kitten being shipped.
HEALTH GUARANTEE, REFUNDS, REPLACEMENTS AND EXPENSES
Vaccinated See Health Record – too young
.
Vaccine used Fel-O-Vax
Needs revaccination See Health Record .
There shall be no refunds of
purchase price, shipping charges or other costs. There shall be replacement of
the cat/kitten only under the circumstances provided below.
1)
This cat or kitten is guaranteed to be
in good health at the time of purchase, and the Buyer has four working days to
have the cat or kitten examined by a veterinarian for FELV or FIV should the
Buyer so desire. Buyer has three days to report any questionable findings by
a veterinarian to the Seller. If the kitten or cat is found to be medically
deficient with an untreatable or life-threatening problem, it will be replaced
with another kitten or cat of equal value. The cat or kitten cannot be
returned after the guarantee period has expired and/or if it has been exposed
to another cat or allowed outside. The Seller
will not replace any cat or kitten that has not received adequate and
appropriate care from its new owner. It is the responsibility of the Buyer to
provide immediate Veterinary care (at the Buyer’s own expense) to any
cat/kitten showing signs of illness or distress and failure to do so will
render any guarantee null and void.
2) Under no circumstance is a
cat or kitten to be destroyed prior to notification by the Buyer to the
Seller. Any cat/kitten for which the Buyer expects replacement must be
returned to the Seller (at the Buyer’s expense) so that identity of the
cat/kitten can be verified. “Unsound health” shall be defined as any condition
which is “life threatening or "incurable” and shall not include curable
conditions or infections such as colds, virus, bacterial infections or skin
rashes.
3) This cat
or kitten is guaranteed against congenital defects for five full years.
Should the cat die within that time as a direct result of a congenital defect,
the cat will be replaced ONLY if a licensed vet performs an appropriate
necropsy, and a vet’s certificate is provided as proof of cause of death.
Katznjamr Bengals will replace said kitten/cat with one of equal quality.
THE BUYER assumes responsibility
of all expenses incurred in relation to the cat/kitten after said cat/kitten
leaves the possession of the Seller, as well as any expense incurred at the
request of the Buyer before the cat/kitten leaves possession of the Seller. If
for any reason the cat/kitten is returned to the Seller, BUYER agrees to pay
all expenses, including shipping costs.
BREEDING AND/OR SHOW ANIMALS
There are no guarantees given on future health, show achievements or
reproduction capabilities of kittens/cats sold with breed and/or show rights.
Seller verifies that there are no precluding reasons why a kitten/cat sold
with breeding rights should be unable to produce/sire normal litters. If
however, a kitten/cat sold with breeding rights is unable to sire/produce
young after two years of age and several breeding attempts with proven,
fertile cats, tests will be done at the expense of the new owner to determine
fertility. If testing finds this cat to be sterile, the Seller will replace
said kitten/cat with one of equal quality. The said kitten/cat will be
returned to the Seller prior to sending a replacement kitten. Queens are not
guaranteed if a proven male does not reside on the premises. There is no
guarantee against pyometra. The process of breeding is not to be taken
lightly, and breeders must take measures to educate themselves on the subject.
No refund or replacement will be given for any cat that has been bred and
produced a litter (purebred or otherwise). If there is a question of whether
the cat has been used for breeding, buyer agrees to grant breeder full access
to veterinarian and TICA records.
Show cats are
sold with the understanding they are free of disqualifiable faults and meet
the Breed Standard of Quality.
If this cat is
sold as a breeding animal, it is to be offered back to the Seller before
spaying or neutering.
Fertility
Guarantee is applicable to Show cat/kitten. Please be aware that due to the
unfortunate reality of intact, breeding cats being treated like a commodity,
instead of being treated like a commitment, we have the following RESTRICTIONS
on all intact, unaltered Breeding/Show cats/kittens sold:
1) This kitten
may not be resold with breeding rights, and may not be leased or
co-owned at any time. Should the Buyer decide to sell this cat, the cat
must be neutered/spayed first and sold as a pet or show alter only.
2) The minimum housing
requirement for a Breeder is six feet wide by ten feet long by six feet tall.
Under no circumstances may a Breeder be housed in a cage, or in any area under
these dimensions as primary living quarters.
3) Breeder males
may not stand at outside public stud. Any outside breedings done to any other
than the Buyer’s own cats as registered, must be okayed by the Seller in
writing.
4) Any kittens
produced by a Breeder cat as defined here in this contract must have the
following restrictions placed on them, under contract: 1) No offspring of the
cat/kitten as sold here as a Breeder/Show cat may be resold, traded, given
away or rehomed or placed, intact/unaltered into any other Program or housed
on any other premises except their original Buyer’s, and all kittens must be
sold under a similar contract as this. 2) ALL pets produced by the
Breeder/Show cat/kitten as identified here, must be altered or sold under an
altering agreement under contract if going to pet homes. 3) Minimum housing
requirements of six feet wide by ten feet long by six feet tall also
transferred to any Breeder/Show offspring of the cat/kitten outlined in this
contract. 4) Breeder/Show males produced by Breeder/show cats/kittens
originally sold here may not stand at public stud unless their Seller gives
permission.
VENUE
If Buyer or Seller commences any
legal action as a result of this contract, Buyer agrees that the place of
venue for such action shall be Williamson County, Texas. Buyer assents to
personal jurisdiction within such venue regardless of their place of residence
and agrees that any judgment obtained is enforceable within the jurisdiction
that they reside in as if obtained within that jurisdiction.
This kitten will receive excessive amounts of tender loving care, will be fed
the best possible diet, will receive substantial amounts of entertainment, and
will be treated with the utmost respect so that he may realize his full
potential.
Buyer’s signature indicates full agreement of all above conditions.
