Purfurvid Cats
Policies, Guarantees, Shipping, etc.
Policies & Agreements
We may require personal references before considering the sale of any of
our kittens or cats and we reserve the right to refuse sale of any of
our kittens or cats at any time.
We do not ship cats/kittens sold as companion pets. Pet cats/kittens
must be picked up by the new owner in person. Kittens/cats sold to legitimate
cat fanciers for breeding and show can be shipped (See Shipping
below). Kittens cannot go home with new owners until they are at least 12 weeks old.
Information on why can be found here: http://breedlist.com/faq/young.html.
A $200 (US) non-refundable is required
as deposit to hold any cat/kitten offered for sale for breeding or
show . A non-refundable deposit of $60 is required to reserve any
cat/kitten offered for sale as a companion pet only. No cat/kitten
will be held by the seller for the buyer, after receipt of the deposit,
for more than 3 weeks when the kitten is already old enough to leave or
be shipped (weather permitting). Pet kittens are old enough to leave at 12 weeks of age and
breeder/show kittens are old enough to ship at 4 months of age. On a show/breeder
cat/kitten, 50% of the deposit is refundable if the buyer should change
his/her mind within 5 days of seller's receipt of the deposit. Deposits
are otherwise non-refundable, unless the seller should change her mind
about selling the cat/kitten, in which case, 100% of the deposit would
be refunded. Payment in full is required prior to the cat/kitten leaving
the seller's home. Balances paid less than 3 weeks before the day of pick
up must be in cash.
No cat/kitten obtained from us shall be resold or placed in a new home
without approval.
As part of the sales agreement, the Buyer agrees to provide responsible
care for the cat/kitten as follows: (1) correct grooming and bathing,
(2) all needed veterinary care, (3) protection from possible hazards such
as dogs, small children, household chemicals, etc. (4) an environment
free of parasites, and (5) under no circumstances allow the cat/kitten
to freely roam outdoors .
Guarantees
Please be aware that a cat is a living, breathing creature like yourself,
and as such can not be guaranteed to never become ill. Illness, unfortunately,
is a possibility in life. All cats, either purebred or not, are subject
to disease. Some inheritable diseases may include kidney disease as in
Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD),
or heart disease as in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM).
Genetic diseases may or may not have definitive testing that is accurate
or even available. However, as a responsible breeder we strive to identify
and remove these inherited problems whenever possible through the means
that are available to us. We ask that our buyers be as commited to the
well being of the Exotic and Persian breeds as we are by communicating
to us any health issues that arise in kittens/cats obtained from us. As
part of our commitment to our buyers we guarantee our kittens against
inheritable diseases. If tests performed within the first two years of
the cats life prove that an inheritable disease exists in a cat obtained
from us (written veterinary diagnosis and test results required), a replacement
will be offered.
We guarantee our cats free from Feline
Leukemia Virus (FeLv) and Feline
Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV). If blood work from the initial veterinary
examination confirms that either virus is present (copy of test results
required), a complete refund of the purchase price will be given upon
return of the cat to us.
Due to the current status of the FIP
(Feline Infectious Peritonitis) and the FIV vaccinations, we highly recommend
that our kittens/cats NOT be vaccinated with them. And if given, be administered
well after the kitten is established within its new home and well after
all other vaccinations have been given. Be aware that all guarantees regarding
FeLV and FIV will be null and void if the FIP, FIV or FeLV vaccinations
have been administered. Be aware that at this time FIP is still being
studied. It is felt that it mutates from the common Corona virus for which
there is no vaccination. We do take steps to minimize Corona infection,
however, there is no way to prevent FIP or provide any guarantee with
regard to the Corona virus or FIP.
We guarantee that our cats/kittens are free of disease, to the best
of our knowledge, at the time of sale. *The Buyer
has three (3) calendar days, from the date the Buyer receives the cat/kitten,
to obtain veterinary confirmation of health. At that time, should the
licensed veterinarian diagnose disease (through this initial examination and/or
testing) other than stress related minor upper-respiratory infection,
the Buyer shall have the option to either: 1) return the cat/kitten immediately
for full refund of the purchase price, or 2) receive compensation for
veterinarian prescribed medications and follow-up office visits resulting
from the initial diagnosed illness, up to the amount of $75.00 (US) (written
veterinary diagnosis and receipts required). Otherwise, the cat/kitten
is sold as-is, no other guarantees regarding the physiological development,
or otherwise, are expressed or implied if no other guarantees have been
agreed upon, between the Seller and the Buyer, in writing and documented
within the sales contract.
Shipping
Kittens/cats sold for show/breeding can be shipped domestically or internationally.
Be aware that no kitten can be shipped before 4 months of age.
The Buyer is responsible for the cost of shipping, health certificate,
and airline approved carrier which totals approximately $200-250 within
the continental United States.
