Provisions of Contract: 

• Both Buyer and Seller agree that the Kitten/Cat described herein is unique in character.
• Buyer will pay the Seller a deposit agreed upon requesting that a Kitten/Cat be reserved for the buyer. The balance of the purchase price is to be paid at delivery of the reserved Kitten/Cat unless the Kitten/Cat is being air shipped, in which case the balance of the purchase price plus the cost for shipping, air carrier, health certificate and gas fee is to be paid before the Kitten/Cat is shipped. Once a deposit is placed to reserve a Kitten/Cat, that Kitten/Cat will not be sold to another buyer.
• Transportation expenses for delivery of the Kitten/Cat to places other than the Croghan,  NY area shall be paid for by the Buyer. Expenses may include, but are not limited to: fee for gas, round trip, to and from delivery site, airline fees, a veterinary examination and state health certificate as required by an airline, and an airline approved carrier. Delivery shall be made at a time and place agreeable to both parties. If the Kitten/Cat is being shipped by air and the airline will not accept live animals because of severe weather conditions at either the point of departure or arrival, deliver will be made as soon as clearance is received by the air carrier at a time agreeable to both parties.

• On or before the date of delivery, the Seller shall provide the Buyer with a vaccination record and dietary recommendations.

If the FELV or FIP vaccination is given to this Kitten/Cat, all guarantees are null and void, as there is no proof that these vaccines are 100% safe.
• Also because I am totally against declawing because it is a mutilating procedure, and a cruelty that is likely to alter the Kitten/Cat’s temperament and health, all guarantees are null and void if any Kitten/Cat is declawed once it is in your possession.
• Buyer agrees to have the Kitten/Cat examined by a licensed veterinarian within 3 business days of pickup/delivery at Buyer's cost, and promptly notify Seller either in writing, email or by phone call of the examination.

• Please note that during times of stress, such as going to a new home, Kittens/Cats can exhibit temporary signs of illness which may include: sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, diarrhea, vomiting and or constipation. If any of these symptoms develop and need to be treated by a veterinarian, any and all charges for veterinarian office visit and medicines is totally the responsibility of the Buyer at this point.
•  If the Buyer’s Veterinarian upon the initial examination required, feels the animal is ill and that the illness was present but not disclosed prior to sale, a diagnosis of disease other than stress-induced minor upper respiratory infection is made, Buyer agrees to provide a written report to the Seller, signed by the examining licensed veterinarian, including the diagnosis and all test results on which the diagnosis is based.

Seller must view all licensed veterinary certified reports and all certified licensed pathologist autopsy reports.
