Breed: Ragdoll
Color/Pattern: __________________ Sex: ________________ DOB:_____________
Sire: ___________________________________________________________________
Dam: __________________________________________________________________
2. The Purchaser shall pay the Vendor the sum of _____ for the cat. Payment must be paid by cash and is due at the time cat is released into permanent home.
3. The Vendor and the Purchaser acknowledge and agree that the cat is being purchased as Pet only.
4. The Vendor cannot make any guarantee on how said cat’s color, size, markings, temperament, and coat will develop.
5. The Purchaser will not have any type of surgical procedures performed on the cat for the purpose of removing any of the cat’s claws. If Purchaser does have any surgical procedures performed on the cat’s claws then all guarantees will be void.
6. The Purchaser agrees that this cat will not be sold, leased or given to any pet shop, research laboratory or similar facility and that the Vendor be notified immediately of any intended disposition for any reason.
7. The Purchaser agrees that the cat will live strictly indoors and will not be allowed outdoors unsupervised.
8a. The Purchaser is responsible for a veterinarian health check within 5 business days of possession to confirm that the cat is in good health. If Purchaser does not take said cat to the vet for a check up within the 5 business days, then Vendor has the right to assume that the cat has been accepted as is. The Vendor is not liable for any expenses (veterinary or otherwise) incurred by the Purchaser, and the Vendor retains the right to corroborate any diagnosis. The Vendor guarantees that the cat is healthy (free of disease or illness) at the time of pick-up and guarantees against genetic problems through the cat’s first three years of life and against HCM for life (See 8b for details). If the cat is diagnosed with any genetic disease it must be confirmed by a specialist in that field (ex. If cat is said to have HCM, then the diagnosis report must be from a licensed cardiologist). If said cat dies then cat will not be replaced until an official necropsy report is provided to Seller determining medical cause of death. If the cat is found to have a genetic problem or does not pass the veterinary health check, the Vendor agrees to replace the cat for as long as we are still breeding.
8b. The Purchaser MUST take said cat to vet for a yearly veterinary examination at least once per year, but specifically at the ages of 16mos, 2yrs, and 3yrs. ( Appointment may be within 5 business days of these ages.) An original document from the vet determining the cat’s health and condition at those specified ages must be sent to the Vendor within 5 business days of the cats examination. If the Purchaser neglects to follow these procedures then all health guarantees will be void.
9. The Purchaser agrees to keep all cats’ vaccinations current. Kitten is required to receive it’s last kitten vaccine at 16 weeks of age. Purchaser will be responsible for this vaccine. Your USA Ragdoll has been given (3) Merial Purvax 4 (RCCP) vaccinations, and final vaccine should be the same if possible. Current AAFP vaccination guidelines state that this final kitten vaccine is extremely important and must not be missed. If Purchaser neglects to take said kitten to the vet for its final kitten vaccine then all guarantees will be void. Purchaser agrees to not give said cat a Feline Leukemia Vaccination or FIP Vaccination or all guarantees will be void.
10. If this cat is found to be neglected or mistreated in any way, or if Purchaser cannot take care of said cat any longer then Purchaser will surrender said cat to Vendor unconditionally. If Purchaser is to move from listed address then new contact information must be supplied to Vendor immediately. If Purchaser decides not to keep said cat for any reason (ex. Allergies, moving, etc) then said cat must be returned to Vendor, no refund is guaranteed and arrangements will be made at that time.
