This contract for the sale of the feline identified above (hereinafter referred to as “cat/kitten”) is entered into between ______(Breeder/Owner/Seller) and the undersigned Purchaser(s) for their mutual protection and especially for the protection and well-being of the cat/kitten. It is mutually understood that failure to comply with any of the provisions of this agreement can and will result in legal action. Breeder is intensely interested in the welfare of every cat/kitten sold. Therefore, this contract details what is required for all cat/kitten purchases and what guarantees the Breeder provides to the Purchaser(s) for the cat/kitten being sold to Purchaser(s).

1. To keep and care for cat/kitten as long as the cat/kitten lives unless unforeseen circumstances prevent that from happening. In such circumstances, Breeder reserves the option to demand the return of this cat/kitten to Breeder. That option shall expire 3 (three) years from date of birth of the cat/kitten. If Breeder exercises this option, Breeder may keep the cat/kitten, or find an appropriate new home for the cat/kitten. If Breeder exercises that option and re-sells this cat/kitten, no refunds will be issued to the undersigned Purchaser(s) unless a separate agreement is reached at the time the option is exercised, which must be done in writing with a copy sent to Purchaser(s) at their address shown below. If Purchaser(s) find someone willing to provide a new home for the cat/kitten, they shall advise the Breeder and provide the contact information for the person willing to provide the new home for the cat/kitten. Breeder shall have sole authority to approve that proposed transfer to the new care provider, but that approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Breeder’s Health Guarantee shall not extend to the new care provider arranged for by Purchaser(s). If this cat/kitten is found to be neglected, or is found to be ill and left untreated for an unreasonable length of time, Breeder has the right to insist that Purchaser(s) surrender said cat/kitten to Breeder unconditionally and without compensation to the Purchaser(s), and reimburse Breeder for all reasonable costs incurred by Breeder to reclaim the cat/kitten, including but not limited to actual legal costs if litigation should be necessary to enforce Breeder’s right to reclaim the cat/kitten in those circumstances. If registration of this cat has already been transferred to Purchaser(s) at the time the cat/kitten is reclaimed, Purchaser(s) further agree to transfer the cat/kitten’s registration back to Breeder at the time of such surrender. If for any reason beyond the Purchaser(s)’s control, the cat/kitten must be euthanized, Purchaser(s)s must report that euthanasia to Breeder before or within 1 month after the euthanasia takes place. The cat/kitten shall not be re-homed without written authorization of Breeder. “Re-home” means placing a cat/kitten in another person’s possession for a period in excess of ninety (90) days. Breeder guarantees that such authorization will not be unreasonably withheld. _______

2. That under no circumstances will the cat/kitten EVER be sold or given to a pet store, research facility, animal shelter, nor will it be abandoned to fend for itself. _______

3. That this cat/kitten is to be a house cat only and live indoors, exclusively for its entire lifetime. The Purchaser(s) agrees not to let the cat/kitten run loose outdoors. The cat/kitten may be allowed outside while on leash (under close supervision) or in a completely enclosed run. _______

4. To provide adequate space, exercise, diet, fresh water, and litter for this cat/kitten. _______

5. To allow Breeder to inspect the cat/kitten’s living environment if Breeder finds it reasonably necessary to do so. If the cat/kitten’s living environment does not comply with the requirements of this contract, Breeder may cancel this contract and insist that Purchaser(s) surrender said cat/kitten to Breeder unconditionally and without compensation to the Purchaser(s), and reimburse Breeder for all reasonable costs incurred by Breeder to reclaim the cat/kitten, including but not limited to actual legal costs if litigation should be necessary to enforce Breeder’s right to reclaim the cat/kitten in those circumstances. If registration of this cat has already been transferred to Purchaser(s) at the time the cat/kitten is reclaimed, Purchaser(s) further agree to transfer the cat/kitten’s registration back to Breeder at the time the cat/kitten is surrendered. ______

6 To provide adequate health care for this cat/kitten when proper medical care is needed, to have regular scheduled check-ups, including annual immunizations as recommended by Purchaser(s) Veterinarian, with the goal of keeping this cat/kitten free from internal and external parasites, and to consult with a Veterinarian upon any sign of serious illness. _______  

7. Under no circumstances will this cat/kitten be declawed, de-meowed or surgically mutilated in any way unless a written consent is given by Breeder. Claws will be clipped on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, as needed. A tall scratching post is recommended and should be provided by Purchaser(s) at their sole expense. Breeder will provide adequate counsel and advise Purchaser(s) if destructive clawing ever becomes an issue. If, for any reason, Purchaser(s) have this cat/kitten declawed, Breeder cannot and shall not be held responsible for any ill effects that may have on this cat/kitten. Declawing this cat/kitten shall immediately nullify any and all health guarantees made to Purchaser(s) by Breeder. _______

4. At Purchaser(s)’s request Seller will provide a Health Certificate from licensed Veterinarian if such request is made to Breeder in writing at least 3 days before the scheduled pick-up of the cat/kitten. All costs of obtaining such a Health Certificate are to be paid by the requesting Purchaser(s).

5. The health of this cat/kitten is guaranteed for a period of 72 hours following the pick-up date. It is recommended that a veterinary examination be conducted within these 72 hours. Any such examination shall be at Purchaser(s)'s sole expense. If the cat/kitten is found to be medically deficient within this time period by a licensed Veterinarian, the cat/kitten may be brought back to Breeder or have to see a veterinarian recommended by a breeder in order to reimburse expenses for treatment of such kitten. If no such examination is conducted within that period of 72 hours, Breeder shall not be responsible for the health of the cat/kitten except as otherwise provided below. _________

6. Breeder will replace the cat/kitten if it is determined at any time up to age 12 months to have a congenital/hereditary disease, but only if an initial veterinary exam was completed within 72 hours of the pick-up date in accordance with paragraph 5 of this contract. _______
