Colour, Description and Comments:

This agreement between Tracey McCready, ( Breeder) and                                                      (Buyer).

l) Buyer agrees and binds him/herself to take good and reasonable care of this cat/kitten so as to provide food, shelter, correct routine and accident related medical care, exercise and affection. It is agreed that this animal will not be allowed outside without supervision. Abuse, neglect or lack of adequate care will result in Buyer relinquishing cat/kitten to breeder unconditionally.

The Kitten/Cat has received the following vaccinations:
The Kitten/Cat has received the following deworming:

Give only 3 or 4 way Killed vaccine or the newer modified live vaccines that offer the least risk of vaccination site sarcomas and allergic reactions. Giving Feline Leukemia vaccine, or FIP vaccines may result in guarantee being void. These vaccines are more risk than help to indoor only cats in low risk situations. Guarantee is void if kitten is de-clawed or has been allowed out unsupervised.

2) Litter Registration will be furnished upon receipt of proof of spay/neuter in the case of kittens sold as PETS. This agreement acknowledges that the buyer of any animal purchased as a “PET” is to be spayed or neutered before 7 months of age and is NOT to be used for breeding purposes or it will be required that the cat be surrendered to the breeder to be altered at the owners expense. Offspring resulting from breedings of a kitten sold as a “pet” belong to the Breeder and will be surrendered unconditionally. In some cases breeding rights may be purchased by the Buyer upon paying the Breeder the difference between Pet and Breeder Value (currently $l500 - $2500+/with/without a pick kitten back). This is only in the case of breeding/show quality kittens that are sold as pets that do not display any major faults or defects from the Bengal/Pixie-Bob Standards for use in a purebred Bengal/Pixie-Bob breeding program. A separate Guarantee and Agreement would have to be signed pertaining to Breeding/Show quality animals before full breeding rights and unlimited registration papers would be given. See Purchase Agreement for Breeding/Show Quality Cat or Kitten

3) Said kitten/cat is in good health and has been examined by a veterinarian. Kitten/Cat is guaranteed free from communicable diseases for a period of 72 hours from the date of sale. Kittens are not guaranteed against accidental death or injury at any time after sale. Please isolate any new addition to a multi-cat household for a period of time. Please have this kitten examined by your veterinarian as soon as possible so you are both confident that the kitten is completely healthy. If the kitten is found deficient in any way it can be returned to the Breeder within 5 days for a) a full refund, b) treatment for the deficiency, or c) a replacement kitten of equal quality and value. Breeder can not be responsible for contagious diseases the kitten is exposed to during shipping that are not evident during the initial guarantee period. No refunds will be given after 72 hours. Kittens/cats that have been in contact with other kittens/cats will be quarantined upon arrival back to our cattery, with blood testing being done at Buyers expense to ensure they have not been in contact with diseases. The cost of this testing will be deducted from any refund. Very specific instructions are included with the kitten as to diet, litter used and how to socialize a new kitten/cat into a new household. Breeder can not be responsible for results from failure to follow these instructions. Kittens are not guaranteed to be hypoallergenic - please test for allergies before getting a kitten if you are unsure. 20% of purchase price will be held back on kittens returned and subsequently re-sold due to allergies. Other deductions may apply, see above.

4) Said kitten/cat is further guaranteed to be free from congenital defects or genetic diseases for a period of two years from date of sale. In the event that this kitten is found to have a congenital defect or genetic disease that interferes with its' intended purpose or requires medical treatment:

a) it can be returned to the breeder for a replacement of equal quality.

b) it can be kept by the owner, and upon proof of spay/neuter a credit will be issued for 50% - l00% of the purchase price to be used at any time in the future towards the purchase of another kitten/cat. Percentage to be determined by severity of condition, expense of treatment if any, etc.

c) if euthanasia is considered to be necessary or imminent, a replacement kitten will be given. NO KITTEN OR CAT IS TO BE EUTHANISED WITHOUT THE PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF THE BREEDER, EXCEPT IN THE CASE WHERE A VETERINARIAN CONSIDERS IT THE ONLY HUMANE ALTERNATIVE, OR THE GUARANTEE IS VOID. An autopsy is required to confirm a medical diagnosis in this case.

d) if a pet is diagnosed with a minor imperfection (not known at time of sale) that requires no treatment and does not interfere with the normal function and purpose of the cat as an active pet, then no credit will be given.

e) Where a replacement or credit is requested or where euthanasia is requested, buyer agrees to grant full access to all veterinary records to Breeder. Veterinary records include copies of actual visit cards to veterinarians stating vaccinations, injuries, test results, etc. during the period the kitten is owned by the Buyer. No refund or replacement will be given for any condition or defect caused by accident, neglect or malnutrition. Buyer is responsible to provide immediate veterinary care to any kitten/cat showing signs of illness or distress. Failure to do so will render this guarantee null and void.

BREEDER ASSUMES NO LIABILITY FOR VETERINARY COSTS OR OTHER EXPENSES INCURRED BY THE OWNER. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BREEDERS LIABILITY CAN NEVER EXCEED WHAT IS EXPRESSED IN THIS GUARANTEE AND AGREEMENT AND IS LIMITED TO PHYSICAL REPLACEMENT OF KITTENS/CATS. PET HEALTH INSURANCE IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AND EASILY AVAILABLE.

5) Should it become necessary for any reason to part with this kitten/cat, the Buyer agrees to give the Breeder first opportunity to relocate the cat at no expense to the Owner. Breeder agrees to find another home for the cat if for any reason the Buyer can not keep it to avoid the possibility of any cat being placed in temporary homes or shelters.

6) Replacement kittens to be of same quality as originally purchased unless other arrangements are made between the two parties. Credits or replacement kittens to be granted within 6 months from proof of spay/neuter of affected animal, return of affected animal, or release of medical records of affected animal.

Please be sure to read and understand this Agreement before signing. I would be happy to discuss any part of it or to answer any questions. This Contract is legally binding to all parties involved. Venue is the Front of Leeds and Lansdowne, Ontario, Canada.
