SELLER OBLIGATIONS

1. The Seller, Kitty Palace Cattery, provides limited health warranty that the above kitten/cat is in good health at the time of purchase. The Buyer is responsible to report any health changes after the kitten/cat’s pick up. Minor upper respiratory infections that occurred because of stress do not have to be reported. Any veterinarian or hospital expenses will not be covered/shared without prior approval by the Seller.
2. If the kitten described above dies within one year of the date of purchase due to a congenital or hereditary defect, the Seller will replace the cat with a cat/kitten of similar quality or refund all or part of the purchase price, at the discretion of the Seller. To determine if the cat’s death has been caused by a congenital or hereditary defect, the Seller must receive proof of the defect in the form of a complete necropsy report, completed by a licensed veterinarian and performed at the Buyer’s expense. In case of illness or death of the kitten, the Buyer must provide the Seller with photos and videos from home or veterinary hospital during the period of the illness or death to confirm that the kitten is indeed the one purchased from our cattery.
3. Kitty Palace Cattery does not extend this policy to cats diagnosed with feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), feline leukemia virus (FeLV), and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV).
4. The Seller will complete all of the age-appropriate vaccinations and worming. A copy of the kitten’s vaccination record will be given to the buyer at the time of purchase. If the Buyer chooses to inoculate for feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), the warranty is invalidated. Our kittens receive a health certificate before being placed in their new homes.
5. The Seller requires that the kitten is to be spayed or neutered by Buyer (Buyer Obligations #6).
