A copy of this Health Guarantee will be mailed or faxed to you upon
receipt of your deposit for a kitten. It must be signed and returned
before your kitten will be shipped, and if picked up or delivered will
be signed when meeting.
Sugars Cattery guarantees that the kitten named above is free of the Feline
Leukemia Virus (FeLV) and the Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) at the
time of purchase. The kitten is also guaranteed to be free of intestinal
parasites and up to date on all vaccinations. A copy of the kitten's health
record will be given to the buyer at the time of purchase. In addition, Sugars
Cattery cannot warranty this kitten against any adverse reactions to future
vaccinations.
The buyer has a 3 day period to have the kitten examined by a licensed
veterinarian. A dated copy of your veterinarian’s health assessment must
be received by Sugars Cattery within 10 days of receiving your kitten or this
guarantee will be void.
If a licensed veterinarian finds the kitten to have a serious illness or
deformity, a written statement by the veterinarian on his or her letterhead
identifying the problem must be given to Sugars Cattery within the 10 day
time limit stated above. The kitten may then be returned to the cattery at the
buyer’s expense for one of similar quality. Serious illness means a
shortened or painful lifespan. Sugars Cattery is not responsible for the costs
of shipping a replacement kitten.
This guarantee does NOT include minor nuisances such as fungus, fleas or
mites. A minor Upper Respiratory Infection or fungus can occur as a result
of the stress of being relocated into a new home, and Sugars Cattery can
not guarantee that this won’t happen. However, to the best of my
knowledge, none of these are present at the time of shipping/delivery. In
addition, all kittens are vet checked by a licensed veterinarian before they
leave the cattery. Kittens should be kept separate from other pets until
checked by your vet.
Buyer is responsible for all vet related expenses once the kitten is released
from Sugars Cattery. This includes initial exam, office visits, lab tests,
vaccinations, medications, surgery or time off work. Either at initial visit or
for any future visits. No medical care is authorized or will be paid for by
Sugars Cattery. By signing this contract, the buyer is accepting these terms.
If the above named kitten dies within 1 (one) year of the date of purchase
due to hereditary or congenital defects, Sugars Cattery will replace the cat
or kitten with one of similar quality. THERE WILL BE NO CASH REFUNDS. To
determine if the cat's death has been caused by a congenital or hereditary
defect, Sugars Cattery must receive proof of the defect in the form of a
complete necropsy report, completed by a licensed veterinarian. Sugars
Cattery is not responsible for costs relating to the necropsy.
Failure to have the kitten examined by a veterinarian within the stated
amount of time, or any evidence of abuse, neglect, or mishandling releases
Sugars Cattery from any responsibility regarding the kitten.
Sugars Cattery does not warranty against FIPV in your kitten due to the high
rate of false positives using the current means of testing. FIPV comes from
a mutation of a feline intestinal virus (FECV) and no one can pinpoint when
or where a cat was exposed to the virus and at what point it mutated into
FIPV. Some cats can be exposed to FECV and never develop FIPV.
If you choose to vaccinate your kitten against FIPV, this guarantee will be
void.
It is agreed that this is an "As Is" sale, subject only to the warranties
outlined herein which is the final agreement of all parties. By signing below,
you acknowledge that you have read this contract in its entirety and agree
to all of its requirements, stipulations and terms thereof, and that you have
received a copy of this contract for your records.
