going to it’s new home. If kitten/cat is not paid for, kitten/cat will not be shipped. All shipping insurance and travel
charges are borne by the Buyer. It is the responsibility of the Buyer to file a claim with the Airline if the kitten/cat
is lost, stolen, damaged, delayed or as a result of mortality in transit. Seller offers to arrange the travel for the
kitten/cat only, and bears no responsibility once the kitten/cat is transferred to the Airline/Courier.
The Seller/Breeder provides a 3 day limited guarantee that the above kitten/cat is in good health at the time of
delivery. Breeder will supply at additional cost a Health Certificate from a licensed Veterinarian within 10 days
of shipping if the Buyer should request one.
If the kitten has been determined by a licensed Veterinarian to have a life threatening condition at the time of
delivery, the Seller/Breeder will replace the kitten with a new kitten of equal value when one is available. The Breeder
/Seller has the right to acquire a second opinion by a licensed Veterinarian of their choice. Transportation of the
kitten and all Veterinary costs are born by the Buyer.
After 3 days of the Health Guarantee period, the Breeder/Seller can no longer be held accountable for future
diagnosis of FELV / FIV / FIP or any other bacterial or viral infectious disease, Giardia, parasites or fungus due
to the fact that they can be contracted anywhere in the environment after leaving the Cattery and are not a result
of Genetics or breeding. Buyer accepts all responsibility for protection from said diseases, illnesses, parasites, fungi.
This kitten/cat is guaranteed for two years from the date of birth for congenital defects. If the kitten/cat should
perish within the 2 year period, the Breeder/Seller has the right to request an autopsy to be performed to determine
and unquestionably confirm the cause of death. Based on lab findings the Breeder/ Seller may choose to replace
the kitten when one becomes available. Buyer is responsible for all shipping and costs related to the death and
post mortem examinations.
Buyer acknowledges that stress of travel, a new home, different environment and activity level of new home can
cause any breed of kitten to stress and develop an upper respiratory condition. These are easily treated and not a
sign of a chronically sick or weak kitten. Buyer agrees to treat kitten/cat at their expense in the event that the kitten
should develop a condition that requires veterinary care/medication. The Sphynx Breed is a robust breed of cat but
“ALL” kittens require “Quiet Time” which is especially important in families with younger children.
Radical change of food or feeding Grain Free food negates this contract. Failure to comply will result in the uncond
itional return of the kitten/cat to the Breeder. No monies and no replacement of the kitten/cat will be offered. Kitten/
Cat is to be fed the food that the Breeder recommends.
I understand that I must not change the food as recommended by the Breeder:_____________X
I understand that if I declaw or remove dewclaws at any time, this Contract is Breached and kitten/cat is to be returned unconditionally at the Buyer’s expense and penalty for this unconscionable act of mutalation is “all” monies paid by the Buyer. _______________X
I understand that failure to comply will be in “breach” of the contract and the forfeiture of the kitten/cat and all monies
paid will be the penalty. If the kitten/cat is being sold as “pet” it may undergo spay/neuter prior to leaving the
Breeder/Cattery. If not spayed or neutered prior to leaving Cattery, Buyer contracts to have Kitten/Cat spayed or
neutered within one month of going to Buyer’s home. All kittens are spayed/neutered at Buyers expense. Registration
papers are issued upon proof of spay/neuter. _______________X
I understand I do not have Breeding Rights for this kitten/cat:________________________________X. Failure to spay/ neuter the kitten/cat will result in the unconditional return of the kitten/cat with no monies or exchange of kitten/cat offered.
The Breeder will have completed the appropriate vaccines and deworming prior to the kitten/cat leaving the Cattery.

THE BREEDER DOES NOT RECOMMEND THESE VACCINES:
FIP (feline infectious peritonitis) FELV (feline leukaemia) FIV (feline immunodeficiency) Ringworm, Giardia, Chlamydia.
If Buyer chooses to vaccinate for any of these vaccines the Contract is rendered “null and void”. Breeder does not
warranty kitten/cat against any adverse reaction to future vaccines.
It is understood that degrees of hairlessness in Sphynx vary from cat to cat and that “no” Sphynx is completely
hairless. Hormones, climate change and genetics play an important role in hairlessness. It is possible for a kitten/cat
to develop some hair after being spayed/neutered or as it grows older or gain excessive weight. It is impossible to
guarantee that an Sphynx kitten/cat will not grow some hair at some point in it’s life.
The Buyer accepts responsibility to care for this kitten/cat properly. It shall be kept indoors and not caged. Clean
food and water daily and proper medical attention if needed.
Any “Legal” action which may arise under the terms of the Contract will be brought to Medicine Hat, AB, Canada.
Buyer shall be liable for all court costs, attorney’s fees with association to the terms of the Contract. This Contract
shall be enforceable as long as the Breeder is actively breeding the Sphynx Breed. If the Breeder is no longer
breeding Sphynx all contracts become null and void. This Contract is enforceable as long as the Breeder is
actively breeding the Sphynx Breed.
