If Buyer transfers cat/kitten to another owner, the Buyer agrees to let
Seller know and approve the transaction. This information is also for GA
Southern Dolls' record purposes.
C) Although the Breeder can give an opinion of a cat/kitten being
show/breeding quality, it is not a guarantee that the kitten will win in a
show. Breeder advises Buyer to examine kitten in person to decide the
quality of the kitten before purchase.
D)
The Buyer understands and agrees that the Breeder/Seller has first pick of
any and all litters, and that show and breeder prospects will be placed
first, then pet quality kittens.
E)
The Buyer agrees that deposits are non-refundable but may be transferred to
another kitten.
F)
The Buyer is responsible for ALL veterinary and health care expenses
associated with this cat/kitten while in the possession of the Buyer.

If the cat is purchased as a pet or show quality pet:
~ The Buyer agrees to have him/her altered before the cat is six months
old.
Purchaser agrees that
if kitten is not altered before 6 months of age, the contract is void and
Seller has right to take possession of the cat and place it back into the GA
Southern Dolls cattery with no payment to the Purchaser. If the Purchaser is
found to be using said cat as a breeder, a fine of $2,000 will be due to the
Seller along with submission of the cat. Purchaser will also be responsible
for all attorney fees involved.
~ The Seller agrees to provide Buyer with a T.I.C.A. registration form
for the cat after he/she is altered before six months of age and written
certification from a licensed veterinarian is sent to Seller.
This certification must

agreement to all of the above conditions)
2.
Seller
agrees to provide a complete medical history and record of all vaccinations
this kitten/cat has received, along with the following health guarantees:
A) The Breeder guarantees that the kitten/cat is healthy to the best
of his/her knowledge, at the time the Buyer takes ownership of the kitten.
The cat has a 72 hour warranty against any serious medical conditions once
he/she leaves our home – “serious” refers to a shortened or painful
lifespan. Buyer
is advised to take this kitten/cat (at Purchaser's expense) to a
veterinarian for a complete health check within this period. Failure to do
so within this time period will void this warranty.
If the cat/kitten is
found to have a serious medical condition, Buyer has 72 hours after taking
possession of the kitten to notify us and ask for a kitten replacement. This
request must be in written form on the examining licensed veterinarian's
letterhead which states why the kitten/cat’s health is in question. The
Buyer is required to return the kitten, and Seller will provide a
replacement kitten after being furnished with a letter from the vet
indicating why the kitten’s health is in question.
If Seller has no kittens
available of like kind and quality, the next litter with a kitten of equal
value will be replaced. If Buyer fails to notify Seller of said health
problem within 72 hours after purchase, Buyer will be deemed to have
accepted said animal. This 72-hour warranty will be rendered null and void
if euthanasia or any medical procedures are performed during this time
period. There will be no cash refunds under any circumstances, except at the
Breeder’s discretion if he/she opts to refund the purchase price rather than
replace the cat. The Breeder will not be responsible for any veterinary
expenses incurred by the Buyer while the cat is in the possession of the
Buyer.
_____ (Buyer’s initials indicating full understanding and
agreement to all of the above conditions)
B)
The Breeder guarantees that the kitten/cat is healthy to the best of his/her
knowledge, at the time the Buyer takes ownership of the kitten. The cat has
a one year warranty (from the date of birth) against fatal genetic or
congenital defects.
This does not include
conditions or infections such as colds, URI's, viruses,
parasites or bacterial infections that infect the intestinal tract, such as Giardia, Coccidiosis, or Tritrichomonas Foetus. These types of parasites are
not always found on a routine fecal loop. Everything is kept clean and
sanitary to help prevent these types of infections.
Seller
cannot be held accountable for FeLV, FIV, FIP, or any other bacterial and
viral infections, infectious diseases, and parasites or fungus due to the
fact that these can be contracted anywhere in the environment after leaving
the cattery and are not a result of genetics or breeding. If a fatal genetic
or congenital defect is found, the Breeder will replace the kitten within
the next six litters after the Breeder receives proof of defect in the form
of a complete necropsy report, paid for by the Purchaser, from a licensed
veterinary pathologist. All cats will be replaced with another kitten of
like kind and quality.
There will be no cash refunds under any circumstances, except at the
Breeder’s discretion if he/she opts to refund the purchase price rather than
replace the cat. The Breeder will not be responsible for any veterinary
expenses incurred by the Buyer while the cat is in the possession of the
Buyer.
_____ (Buyer’s initials indicating full understanding and
agreement to all of the above conditions)
3.
The Seller is not
obligated to replace a kitten for any reason, including future health
problems, other than those stated above (2A & 2B) and provided that ALL
terms of the health guarantees are followed. The health guarantees and
kitten replacement will become null and void if Breeder is no longer
breeding.
_____ (Buyer’s initials indicating full understanding and
agreement to all of the above conditions)
4.
This cat/kitten cannot
be guaranteed to be free from the Feline Enteric Corona Virus (FeCV). It is
estimated by research physicians that 93.7% of all cats have contracted FeCV.
FeCV can, on rare occasions, "mutate" and cause the fatal disease Feline
Infectious Peritonitis (FIP). The effectiveness of the FIP vaccine is still
controversial. Many researchers and veterinarians believe it can create
enough stress on the feline immune system to actually cause the disease.
Although research is continuing, at this time no one knows exactly why this
disease occurs, or how to completely prevent it. Therefore, the entire
Health Guarantees are null and void if the FIP vaccine is administered to
this kitten/cat. Once again, the Breeder/Seller cannot guarantee that this
kitten/cat will never contract this disease… NO BREEDER can. There is no
definitive test for FIP without a post mortem necropsy plus full histology.
_____ (Buyer’s initials indicating full understanding and
agreement to all of the above conditions)
5.
It is also recommended that you do not allow your Ragdoll kitten to be given
a Feline Leukemia vaccination since it is controversial and pose too many
risks. The entire Health Guarantees are null and void if your Ragdoll kitten
is given the Feline Leukemia vaccine.
The cat/kitten will
have age appropriate core vaccinations at the time of delivery against
panleukopenia (distemper), calicivirus, and rhinotracheitis. Each state has
its own laws governing the administration of the rabies vaccine. We
recommend getting kittens vaccinated for rabies after six months of age. The
Seller does not warranty the above cat/kitten from any adverse reactions
against future vaccinations.
_____ (Buyer’s initials indicating full understanding and
agreement to all of the above conditions)
6.
Buyer also agrees:
A)
to keep vaccinations and health checks up-to-date (at Buyer’s expense),
B) to provide a clean environment for your kitten,
C) to never allow this cat to roam outdoors,
D)
to never place this cat in a laboratory or pet shop. If the Buyer is unable
to keep the cat for any reason, seller will be given first right to obtain
the cat, and
E)
to never declaw your kitten.
_____ (Buyer’s initials indicating full understanding and
agreement to all of the above conditions)
