~Breeder does not make any guarantees about personality, adult size, eye color or coat color.

~During the first 72 hours, the kitten/cat should be isolated from any other pets as well as monitored for health, eating, litter box usage, and general activity level.  Please keep in mind that new kittens may show signs of stress when brought into a new environment which may include sneezing, runny nose, water eyes, or loose stool.  This should resolve within a few days.

~Buyer agrees the kitten will NOT be vaccinated with a rabies vaccine at the same time as any other vaccine as Ragdolls are sensitive to Rabies vaccines and death can occur.  Seller does not warranty the kitten/cat from adverse reactions against future vaccines.

A two (2) year of age replacement warranty is given for any congenital disease that caused your kitten to expire (die).  A notarized veterinarian report with findings, stating to a medical certainty (FULL NECROPSY) that the death was in fact caused from the prenatal state will be required.  Buyer will be required to send the notarized veterinarian report by registered mail along with all of the kittens’s medical records to the breeder.  The breeder’s veterinarian will review report and must confirm diagnosis.  The breeder will then give buyer a replacement kitten of equal value from the next available litter.  Replacement warranty will be void if kitten was found to be abused, neglected, declawed, and/or does not have up to date health records of vaccinations and fecal exams.  This warranty does not cover diseases for which vaccinations could prevent.  Kitten needs to be seen by buyer’s veterinarian within 72 hours of pick up.  Under no circumstances will breeder be responsible for veterinary bills that the buyer has incurred.  No monies will be refunded, this is a replacement warranty only.  This warranty does not cover minor conditions, including but not limited to: viruses, diarrhea, colds, upper respiratory infections, parasites,, or bacterial infections as they may be contracted after leaving our cattery and are not the result of genetics or breeding.   The breeder will assume no shipping costs associated with sale or replacement warranty.  The breeder will assume no responsibility for landlord’s disapproval, family member’s allergy, or any other undesirable circumstances once the kitten has left breeder’s premises.  The buyer agrees that this kitten will never be resold, leased, or given to any pet shop, animal shelter, research laboratory or similar facility.  If the buyer is unable to keep the kitten for any reason, the kitten is to be returned to the breeder at no compensation to the buyer unless we have discussed options and breeder approves.

IF this kitten is sold as a pet only (NO BREEDING RIGHTS) with TICA registration, the buyer agrees to have said kitten altered (spayed/neutered) by 6 months of age.  If buyer wishes to have TICA paperwork for the kitten buyer must send proof of spay/neuter to breeder after alteration has been completed. Upon receiving this document, breeder will then, mail the proper TICA registration papers.   If Proof of alteration is not provided, TICA registration papers will become void and the health guarantee will be revoked.

IF this kitten is purchased as a breeder, this cat/kitten cannot be resold as a breeder without permission from the seller.  Seller retains the first option to re-adopt.  Cat is not to be bred before the age of 10 months old and have no more than 2 litters per year.  Purchaser agrees not to breed cat past the age of 5 years. Upon being retired, cat must be spayed/neutered and placed in a pet home unless buyer wishes to keep as a pet for themselves.

No other guarantee is made or implied, except as stated in this written guarantee/warranty.  Warranty applies to the original buyer only and is not transferable.
