Unless otherwise stated above, this cat is intended to be a household pet. Buyer agrees that this kitten/cat was purchased as pet quality, and unless altered before sale, must be spayed or neutered.
Buyer assures that this kitten/cat will not be used for breeding or stud and not allowed to produce offspring. 

Health Guarantee: This kitten/cat is guaranteed of sound health upon delivery or arrival, and for a period of 48 hours thereafter if vetted within that time. Seller guarantees this kitten/cat to be free from feline leukemia virus (FeLV) and Feline Aids. Failure to have animal checked by a licensed veterinarian within 48 hours after the date of sale (or date cat leaves Denise Evans) in the event the cat is being shipped or delivered, will void any guarantee.  Denise Evans does not guarantee against umbilical hernias as they are not life threatening and can be fixed when the kitten is neutered or spayed. 

If criteria for health guidelines are not met, upon kitten's return, it will be replaced with another kitten/cat of equal value. The seller reserves the right to reserve a cash refund. If no replacement is available at the time of return, Seller will have up to 2 years to furnish a comparable kitten/cat.

The kitten/cat cannot be returned for compensation after the guaranteed period has expired and/or it has been exposed to another cat unless different arrangements are made by the seller.  Seller will not honor any health guarantee if the kitten/cat dies of a virus from contact with another animal not from Denise Evans' Cattery.  The buyer agrees to provide immediate veterinary to this kitten/cat if it shows signs of distress, illness or injury.  Failure to do so will render the guarantee null and void.  Under no circumstances is the kitten/cat to be destroyed prior to notification from the Buyer to the Seller.  If the kitten/cat dies within the guaranteed period, despite medical treatment, the kitten will ONLY be replaced if a licensed veterinarian certifies the cause of death.  It is the Seller's right to ask for kitten/cat to be returned for identification before providing a replacement or any compensation.  

Seller will not be responsible for any veterinary bills of this kitten/cat after leaving Seller's residence. It is further agreed by both Buyer and Seller that this guarantee of health is void if the buyer has the kitten vaccinated for FeLV or FIP or Chlamydia due to the possible side effects to certain vaccines that may pose as a health risk to our kittens.  

This kitten/cat is guaranteed against congenital defects any time prior to the cat's first birthday.  Should the animal die within that time as a direct result of a congenital defect, the cat will be replaced ONLY if an appropriate necropsy is performed by a licensed veterinarian and a veterinarian's certificate is provided as proof of cause of death.  A replacement will be made of a cat of comparable quality and value, as available, at the discretion of the Seller.  No monetary refunds.

Buyer agrees that if the kitten/cat is found to be neglected or mistreated, Seller shall have the unconditional right to reclaim the kitten/cat without refund of purchase price. Neglect shall include, but is not limited to: lack of proper sanitary facilities; being caged; poor diet; poor health, and otherwise poor condition. Mistreatment shall include, but is not limited to: lack of proper food, lack of water, and physical abuse. Buyer will be responsible for any veterinary bills directly incurred as a result of any neglect or mistreatment. 

The cat will not be denied needed veterinary attention. Initials:_____

Buyer understands that if the kitten/cat is declawed, it will render the guarantee null and void.  Buyer understands that declawing is a mutilation involving the amputation of a large portion of the kitten/cat's toes and which is likely to alter the kitten/cat's temperament and health.  Buyer agrees that Seller cannot ensure the temperament of any kitten/cat which has been declawed. 

Buyer agrees that this kitten/cat was sold with the understanding that it would not be declawed.  Initials:_________

The Buyer agrees to provide proper housing and diet, fresh water, parasite control, and general health care, including the completion of immunizations plus yearly boosters and prompt veterinary care for any illness or condition requiring medication or surgery. The cat is to be inside at all times.  

Buyer agrees that under NO circumstances will the kitten/cat EVER be sold, leased, transferred, or given to any pet shop, animal dealer, animal shelter research laboratory, or similar facility, nor anyone who has ever been convicted of neglect or cruelty to any human or animal, nor should it be abandoned.  

Any terms in the contract violated by the Buyer will result in the Seller's repossession of the cat and a fine of the full cost of the kitten, plus any court costs, placed on the Buyer to be paid upon proof of noncompliance.  

Seller Recommendations:

(1) The cat should be isolated from other pets for at least one week for cat to acclimate to its new surroundings.
(2) Any changes to the cat's diet should be made slowly as sudden changes may result in episodes of diarrhea.
(3) The cat should be fed premium cat food in which brand(s) will be recommended by the Seller.  Dry food and water should be offered at all times and wet/canned food only occasionally as a treat.  
(4) Avoid clumping litter.  Kittens sometimes eat kitty litter and if ingested, it is reported that the clumping types can cause intestinal blockages.  

Addendum to our Spay/Neuter Agreement:

As per page 2 of the sales agreement (outlining breeding rights and health guarantee), kittens are sold with pet rights only and the buyer agrees to alter (spay or neuter) their kitten(s).  Buyer is required to contact the breede Denise Evans of Zai Jian Cattery, to provide proof that kitten(s) are altered (spayed or neutered) by 6-7 months of age. Registration papers will then be mailed to the buyer upon proof of said documentation.  

Buyer may provide proof of altering their kitten via photo texted to:
973-476-7942, via mailed documentation to: Denise Evans (address to be provided), or via email: andrea3777@yahoo.com.
