BUYER’S DUTY/ OBLIGATIONS:
- The Buyer shall provide the pet with proper care and maintenance, provide full nutrition, timely veterinary care, and vaccination.
- Buyer shall keep copies of all medical exam reports or medical records and in the event that Buyer claims any Pet replacement pursuant to Section 4(g) above, Buyer shall make copies of the same available to Seller.
- The Buyer hereby acknowledges and understands that the stress-induced in an animal when going to a new home may cause illness symptoms, including minor upper respiratory infection, to appear in otherwise healthy animals.
- Buyer shall take Pet for a veterinary exam with a licensed veterinarian within 5-days of the Delivery Date or shall void all guarantees as listed in Section 5 above, Seller, at its sole discretion, may allow an extension to said time period, in writing, upon written request by Buyer.
- Failure to have the pet examined by a veterinarian within the first five days of receiving the kitten or any evidence of abuse, neglect, or mishandling releases the Seller from any responsibility regarding the Pet.
- Buyer will not inoculate for feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). Reasons that we do not allow leukemia and feline infectious peritonitis vaccines are:
- The vaccine does not protect cats well,
- Repeated vaccines do not improve their effectiveness,
- The vaccine causes incurable cancers (fibrosarcoma) in roughly 1 in every 2000 – 5000 cats,
- The vaccine can cause vaccinosis (a homeopathic term that means the animal develops a relatively permanent degradation of their vital health),
- All vaccines can degrade health, so any vaccine is a risk versus benefit assessment,
- The use of the vaccine gives the caretaker a false sense of security when the caretaker should put his/her/its best effort forward to observe and time take care of the pet,
- instead, be aware of the more important methods they can employ to protect their cats, such as keeping the kitten indoors for the first year of her/his life and not allowing the cat(s) to socialize with other felines that may be infected or carriers of the disease.
h. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that removing a pet’s nails can cause permanent damage to joints, ligaments, and tendons, as such declawing the Pet shall be a breach of this Agreement, rendering all guarantees and obligations on Seller’s part void.
- The Buyer shall not transfer the pet to a shelter for pets, research center, etc., without the written consent of the Seller.
- If Seller consents to transfer of the Pet, the Buyer must furnish proof that the Pet has been spayed or neutered without exception.
