Our promise to you and your new cat.
- 1. Breeder guarantees that the cat listed above is a purebred Maine Coon Cat, with an accurate pedigree, and is eligible for registration at The International Cat Association (TICA).
- 2. Breeder further guarantees that this animal is negative for FeLV and FIV at the time of leaving the cattery, and in good health. The cat has been vaccinated at least twice against feline upper respiratory diseases and free of internal parasites. There is no guarantee for kittens or cats when tested for Coronavirus as the test is not specific to a single Coronavirus. There is no guarantee if the buyer uses the FIP vaccine, as FIP may be potentiated by such.
- 3.This kitten is guaranteed for the first 2 years against HCM and PKD. If either of these diseases are discovered during this time, either a replacement kitten (if available, shipping extra) or original adoption fee (excluding shipping costs) will be offered, at breeders discretion. A diagnosis of HCM by a certified Veterinary Cardiologist is required. PKD must be diagnosed by ultrasound through a qualified Veterinarian.
- 4. We screen our cats against Hip Dysplasia. But unfortunately this is a disease that kittens can get even if their parents don't have any issues. If your kitten does have hip dysplasia, and requires surgery within the first two years of life, we will contribute up to 1/2 of your adoption fee (not including shipping costs) towards corrective surgery. A confirmed diagnosis of severe HD requiring surgery by either an OFA or Penn Hip certification is required.
- 5. If, during the initial veterinarian visit (with-in 48 hours of receiving their kitten), a diagnosis of disease other than stress-induced minor upper respiratory (herpesvirus) infection is made, Buyer agrees to provide a written report, signed by the examining licensed veterinarian, including the diagnosis and all test results the diagnosis is based on. The Breeder has the right to request a second opinion from a Veterinarian of the Breeders choice, at the Breeders expense. Upon confirmation, the Breeder is to pay for the treatment of the diagnosed illness, up to 1/2 of the purchase price of the animal.
- 6. All kittens come from a socialized home, where they have been raised in a loving environment. No permanent kennels or cages are used.
