These should resolve within a few days.

 

This kitten has a one year guarantee against lethal genetic or congenital defects. If a lethal genetic or congenital defect presents itself within one year from the date of birth, seller shall replace kitten (less shipping charges, if applicable) upon being provided an autopsy report (at buyer’s expense) from a licensed veterinarian stating the unquestionable genetic or congenital defect. No vet bills will be reimbursed by Seller. The kitten will be replaced with a kitten of breeder’s choosing with the spring litters. The same sex and color/pattern will be substituted whenever possible, but is not guaranteed.

Upon examination, if the kitten is found to have any life threatening illness or congenital defect, Buyer must immediately notify Seller and provide Seller with a written statement from a licensed veterinarian stating the unquestionable illness or congenital defect. Seller will then make verbal contact with examining veterinarian before replacing the kitten. All veterinary care and associated costs are the responsibility of the Buyer.

ALL VET BILLS ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER. 

 

This kitten was wormed at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks old. This kitten had their first set of vaccinations on _________. Their booster vaccination will be due on _________. Some breeders feel that Ragdolls are sensitive to vaccines and that ragdolls should online receive “killed virus” or “modified live virus” vaccines and never “live virus” vaccines. Some breeders also believe that Ragdolls SHOULD NOT RECEIVE THE RABIES VACCINE AT THE SAME TIME AS ANY OTHER VACCINE AS DEATH MAY OCCUR. There have been Ragdolls to die due to sensitivity to the rabies vaccine. If you decide to get your cat rabies vaccine, do not do it at the same time as other vaccines. Seller does not warranty the cat/kitten from any adverse reactions against future vaccinations. If you have a cat which you adopted (whether it be a stray or from a pet store or shelter), please be aware that these cats can be carriers of coronaviruses and/or feline leukemia - even if they show no symptoms. It is strongly suggested that your existing cats be tested and fully vaccinated prior to introducing them to a new kitten. A young kitten’s immune system has not fully developed and viruses can be transmitted to your new kitten possibly resulting in death.

Allergies are not covered under this Contract. If Buyer cannot keep the kitten/cat for any reason, no refund or replacement will be given.
