A DEPOSIT AGREEMENT

SHININ BLUE CATS Cattery

 Buyer name _______________________________________________________________________________________

 Payment  ____________________________________________________________________________________

By paying the Deposit, the Client agrees to the terms of the sale and the contract. The contract is posted on our website. The agreement can only be changed by the Seller and only if there are special reasons for this. 
Once a buyer has selected a kitten, their Deposit is not transferable and does not roll over to another kitten or litter. We expect buyers to pick up their kitten on the scheduled day and time. If the Buyer does not pick up their kitten on their scheduled date and time, the Buyer will forfeit their monies, and the kitten will be made available and sold to another.
The $ 500 deposit is not refundable if the Client refuses the kitten or for any reason and cannot pick it up at 12 to 15 weeks old.
If the Client cannot pick up the kitten after 15 weeks old, the Client must pay $ 20 every day of the kitten's stay in the cattery.
We return the Deposit only when we refuse to sell the kitten to our clients. We reserve the right not to explain the reason.
The Buyer agrees to pay the rest when they pick up the kitten from the cattery. If the courier transports the kitten, the Buyer undertakes to pay for the kitten two weeks before transportation.

PURCHASER AGREES TO THE FOLLOWING TERMS:​

• This cat/kitten is purchased as a pet. Not for breeding.
  Seller recommends that Purchaser take this cat/kitten to a licensed veterinarian within 72 hours of receipt for their health satisfaction.

• Health Guarantee:
  The seller warrants that this cat/kitten is presented in sound health and not harboring any diseases.
  This kitten is guaranteed to be in good health upon delivery or arrival and for 14 (fourteen) days after that if it is quarantined from other pets and seen by a licensed vet within that time. If found to be medically unsound with a severe or life-threatening congenital condition, the Breeder/Seller must be notified with documentation from a licensed vet. The kitten will be replaced with another kitten of comparable quality and value available. The Breeder/Seller reserves the right to substitute a cash refund. This health guarantee will be waived if the kitten dies of a virus from contact with other animals not bred by the Shining Blue Cats Cattery. This health guarantee is void if the Purchaser has the kitten vaccinated for FIV or FIP in the first year of its life. These vaccines are very stressful to the immune system and are unnecessary for the continued health of an indoor-only kitten without repeated contact with other cats.

• Shining Blue Cats, Cattery guarantees against congenital diseases for one year from the date of purchase. Kittens who decease within one year after purchase as a clear outcome of congenital disease will be replaced should the congenital disease as a cause of death be confirmed by an autopsy performed by a licensed veterinarian (microchip indication is required). Shining Blue Cats Cattery does not extend this policy to cats diagnosed with a genetic disease, feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), feline leukemia virus (FeLV), and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV)

• A replacement will be made of a kitten of comparable quality and value as available at the discretion of the Breeder/Seller. The Breeder/Seller reserves the right only to substitute a cash refund of the sale price. The owner pays for transportation.

• Suppose a kitten dies while possessing Breeder; the kitten will be replaced as soon as possible. If the Purchaser rejects all kittens offered up to a year from the contract, the purchase price will not be returned, and the contract becomes null and void.

• The seller does not accept responsibility for vet bills. We recommend that you purchase insurance.

• If not spayed, Kitten purchased as household pets must be spayed by the Purchaser within six months old. Per the contract terms and the TICA agreement, the buyer is responsible for providing a sterilization certificate for the kitten before it turns six months old. If the seller fails to provide the sterilization certificate before the kitten reaches six months of age, the registration documents will not be issued, even if the kitten is later sterilized. Additionally, if the kitten is not spayed within the stipulated time, the buyer will be liable to pay a fine of double the cost of the kitten. Initial_________

• Purchaser agrees to care for this cat/kitten by providing adequate indoor facilities, keeping the cat/kitten indoors, maintaining proper nutrition, getting the cat/kitten regular yearly vaccinations as recommended by a licensed veterinarian, and, if deemed necessary, prompt medical attention. Purchaser agrees that this cat/kitten will never be given or sold to any research laboratory, humane society, or similar facilities, nor sold to a third party.

• Purchaser agrees that any violation of the terms of this contract may result in the surrender of said cat/kitten, any registration/pedigree papers, to expect no reimbursement of the purchase price, deposit, or expenses incurred, and Purchaser may be subject to monetary damages to Seller.

• If the Buyer cannot keep the kitten for any reason, the kitten must be returned to ShiningBlueCats. If the kitten is ever returned or surrendered to the Seller for any reason, except for problems covered with the Health Guarantee, once produced, NO refunds will be given to the Buyer.

• The cattery has the right to refuse to sell you a kitten. We are also not obliged to tell you the reason for the refusal for ethical reasons. If the cattery refuses to sell you a kitten, your $500 deposit is fully refunded.

• Purchaser agrees that any court/legal action will be filed/held in Roseburg, Oregon, and will assume responsibility for court costs.

• In the continental United States, shipping by plane will be the going rate, including crate.

• The seller does not guarantee anything within the control of the airline or courier. Suppose any damage has been caused by an airline or courier, its servants, or employees or caused by another party due to negligence on the airline, its servants, or employees during shipment. In that case, the purchaser may only pursue legal action against the party responsible for actual damage. The purchaser agrees that the kitten will be picked up from the airport on such a date and time that the flight arrives, which will be arranged and agreed to by both purchaser and seller.

• The purchaser’s signature indicates that they have reviewed the contract with the Seller before purchasing said cat/kitten and entirely agree to the above terms and conditions.

• We do not guarantee our kittens from communicable diseases once they leave our home. They are much like small human children, and they will catch them if they come into contact. We offer replacement kitties for congenital or genetic life-threatening birth defects, for example, Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, a heart defect (aka HCM) during your kitten’s first year of life. We cannot guarantee your kitten's health if you change our feeding recommendations. Please use the foods we recommend. We strive to breed good health into our bloodlines and do our best, but circumstances sometimes are beyond our control.

• • While we cannot guarantee absolute freedom from parasites for your kitten, we have taken necessary measures to ensure its health. Your kitten has already received two flea drops and was dewormed. We have included this information in the vaccination report that we have provided to you report provided to you.

• • We require proof from your veterinarian in the form of copies of medical records if a problem arises. We then discuss over with our veterinarian before making any decisions.

• • We do not guarantee anything if found due to negligence on the new owner's fault, including not feeding the recommended cat foods.
