Purchaser and Seller agree to the following:

1. This contract refers to a registerable purebred Siberian cat/kitten sold as pet quality with limited registration unless otherwise noted in an addendum.
2. The cat is guaranteed to be of sound health upon arrival into Purchaser’s care. It will have been veterinarian checked preceding its departure from Mindeelyn Siberians and on a cursory physical examination it will have been found to be free of internal and external parasites. It will have been vaccinated against Panleukopenia, Rhinotrachetitis and Calcivirus. The Buyer will receive a health record from the Breeder’s veterinarian as proof of examination, all vaccines received, as well as a schedule of the vaccines still needed to maintain the kitten’s health in the future.
3. This cat is guaranteed against life-threatening congenital defects until its second birthday. FIP is considered by the breeder to be of a genetic origin. It is the responsibility of the Purchaser to provide immediate veterinary care to a cat/kitten showing any sign of illness or distress, and failure to do so will render any guarantee null and void. No cat is to be euthanized without the prior knowledge of the breeder, except in the case where a veterinarian considers it the only humane alternative. To do so will void the guarantee. Should the cat die within the above-mentioned time period as a direct result of a congenital defect, the cat will be replaced only if an appropriate necropsy, paid for by the Purchaser, is performed by a licensed veterinarian, and a veterinarian’s certificate is provided as proof of cause of death. It will then be the Purchaser’s choice to receive either a replacement cat of comparable quality and value or the full purchase price, including the cost of microchipping and sterilization. The Breeder can, however, at his discretion, opt to return the purchase price rather than replace the cat.
4. During the first ten days of ownership, the cat can be returned for any reason whatsoever for a refund of the purchase price, less $200.00. All paper work that accompanied the cat must be returned and the vaccine schedule must be up to date. All return shipping expenses and import charges or taxes shall be the responsibility of the Purchaser.
5. This cat/kitten will be kept indoors and not be allowed to roam freely outside. The only time it is permissible for the cat to be outdoors is when under supervision on a harness and leash or when protected within an approved cat enclosure.
6. Mindeelyn Siberians must be contacted if, at any time during the cat’s life, the buyer is unable to keep the cat. The Purchaser agrees to give the Breeder a chance to re-house the cat. The Purchaser also agrees that the cat, or any of its offspring, will never be sold, given, leased out, rented, loaned to an animal shelter, pet store, commercial or private, laboratory or research and development center. If this cat is found to be neglected or mistreated, the buyer agrees to surrender the cat and all rights to the cat to the Breeder or her representative unconditionally without benefit of refund or any course of reclaim.
7. The Breeder will not be responsible for any veterinary expenses incurred by the Purchaser while the cat is in the possession of the Purchaser. The purchaser has read, understands and has signed the attached Addendum entitled, "A Special Note to Purchasers Regarding Pedigree Cats". The total liability of the breeder shall in no case exceed the total purchase price of the cat, less the cost of any medical procedures.
8. Because this cat’s relatives will have been used in Mindeelyn’s breeding program, the Breeder wishes to be notified of any health problems discovered in the purchased cat as it may have an impact on the health of related cats.
9. The Breeder has the right, at her discretion, to cancel this contract at any time before delivery of the cat. In this case, the full deposit will be returned to the Purchaser. Should the Purchaser cancel this agreement before the cat is delivered, or fail to pay the balance due on time, the cat may be sold to another and the Purchaser's full deposit will be retained as a cancellation fee. Unless allergies and / or asthma are an issue, the deposit is non-refundable.
10. Before departure from Mindeelyn, the cat will be sterilized and microchipped. The purchaser will pay an additional $200.00 for these procedures. All registration papers and/or blue slips will be marked "Not for Breeding" to reflect the cat/kitten’s pet status.

By signing this document, the contract and/or sales agreement, we, the Breeder and the Purchaser, consider it to be legally binding under all circumstances and in all courts of law. This sales agreement is non-transferable to other parties. Any changes, additions, or omissions to this contract must be agreed upon in writing and dated and initialed by all parties. All legal expenses incurred by Mindeelyn Siberians to enforce the terms of this contract will be paid by the Purchaser and all legal action, whether it be started by the Purchaser or the Breeder shall be conducted in Welland, Ontario, under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada. If one clause in this contract is declared void, that does not affect the rest of the contract which shall remain valid.

This agreement is not to be superceded by any other agreement(s), be they written or verbal, unless accompanied with signed documentation outlining the new agreement or amendment.

To be signed and dated by both the breeder and the purchaser.

A SPECIAL NOTE TO PURCHASERS REGARDING PEDIGREE CATS

The Purchaser and Breeder agree that a discussion about feline health issues has taken place.

The Breeder has made every effort to raise the most well socialized cat possible. Before release from our cattery, the cat has been checked several times by a veterinarian to ensure that the Purchaser receives the healthiest possible cat. Any health or behavioural issues that are known to the Breeder have been discussed in full with the Purchaser.

The Purchaser understands that although the Breeder has made every effort to raise the best possible cat, it is however a living thing, and health or behavioural problems can still arise.

Should this happen, the Purchaser and the Breeder agree to work together to solve the problem.

To be signed and dated by both the breeder and the purchaser.
