Sierra’s Little Sweeties is not responsible for any veterinarian costs after kittens purchased ( No Exceptions).
1. The purchaser accepts full responsibility for this kitten and agrees to provide properly for its welfare. It is understood that this is a live animal and is not considered to be a perfect creature by any definitions. This cat/kitten is warranted to be in good health to the best of the Breeder’s knowledge. It is recommended that Purchaser have the kitten examined by a veterinarian within 48 hours of receipt, at purchaser's expense. Any health problems of a life threatening and un-treatable nature shall be documented by the vet and reported to
Sierra’s Little Sweeties immediately and a refund or replacement will be offered. In the event of an out of state sale, the Purchaser will ship the kitten back to the Breeder at a shared rate of 50% Purchaser, 50% Breeder. Any health problems after this time shall be the responsibility of the Purchaser. Breeder will provide Purchaser at time of sale kittens vaccination & health records. Kittens will need a booster shot between 14 - 16 weeks. A rabies shot is also recommended. Failure to have the kitten checked within the time period makes all warranties null and void.
2. Under no circumstances after 48 hours will seller be obligated to refund money or allow kitten to be returned. However, if kitten should die from a genetic defect within one year from the date of birth Breeder will replace with kitten that Breeder deems to be of equal value and quality as soon as one becomes available. A detailed report from a licensed vet with the proof of death from a defect will be required to be provided by the Purchaser to the Breeder, at Purchaser’s cost. This replacement guarantee includes PKD, FIP, & genetic defects that result in death before 1 year of age - providing Sierra’s Little Sweeties is still breeding.
3. Breeder does not guarantee against treatable nuisances such as upper respiratory infection, fleas, fungus, mites, which are not life threatening. These are very treatable and so common in cats and can be brought on by moving to a new home or stress that the Breeder feels unable to guarantee against them, but takes preventative measures and screening to ensure cats are free from these nuisances and would never knowingly place a kitten with any of these conditions.
4. Kittens sold as pets not spayed or neutered before sale must be spayed or neutered before the age of eight months. Kittens sold as pets do not have breeding rights and must not be bred.
5. The kitten is accustomed to a certain food (food preference will be provided prior to pickup). It is recommended that this food is continued, but if a change do so slowly. Changing food abruptly can cause intestinal problems and is not good for the health of the kitten. Please do not give your kitten milk, kitties are lactose intolerant and giving milk WILL cause diarrhea.
6. We feel it is important to isolate your new kitten for a few days to a week and give it time to adjust to the new environment before introducing other pets; and to imprint where his/her litter box will be kept, ideally where the box will permanently be kept. Moving to a new home can be stressful for the new pet and isolating them in their own room helps to acclimate them to their new surroundings.
7. Purchaser assumes full responsibility for this cat/kitten upon leaving seller’s premises.
8. We want to be sure our kitty babies are doing well in their new homes and will check on them via e-mail periodically. Please feel free to contact us anytime day or night with any questions or concerns about your kitty. If for some reason Purchaser is unable to provide a home for this cat, please contact Breeder, as we may be able to assist in placement of the cat.
This Contract of Sale agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the purchaser and Sierra’s Little Sweeties. “I/We have read all the pages in this contract and agree to all the stipulations”. Signature indicates full agreement and approval of all above conditions.
