Breeder does not guarantee that the cat does not have any illness unknown to the Breeder at the time of sale. (This Health guarantee does not cover curable conditions) Health is guaranteed for a period of 72 business hours from the time the cat leaves the possession of the Breeder. In order for the one-year health guarantee to be in effect, the Buyer must examine the cat within the 72-business hour window with a licensed and registered veterinarian. The Buyer must provide the official documentation of the cat exam. A Written and dated letter or other reasonable documentation from the veterinarian will be required. Failure to follow these steps completely will cause the Buyer to waive all rights to a replacement cat. If the Buyer is not able to examine the cat with a professional licensed veterinarian, in the 72-hours window the cat health guarantee is nullified. It is the Buyers responsibility to provide immediate veterinary care to this cat if the cat shows any signs of illness or distress. Failure to do so will render any guarantee null and void. By signing contract, the Buyer agrees to give permission to the Breeder to request any documentation from the veterinarians. All Veterinary fees are the sole responsibility of the Buyer. The cat is guaranteed against hereditary defects up to one year of the cat's age from its birthday. If a hereditary defect is to appear within this time frame, the Buyer must take the cat to a certified veterinarian, and it must be documented.

The kitten/cat must not be able to play with any other animal. This is done in order for the kitten to get used to a new environment, build immunity and bond with a human before bonding with other pets.
