Velvet Thunder Cattery-Health Guarantee

Health Guarantee

~Health Guarantee~

For Purchase of a Bengal Cat/Kitten From

Velvet Thunder Cattery

Our kittens come with their up-to-date immunizations and are guaranteed to be of sound health, at the time of sale, and for a period of 72 hours.

First 72 Hours*

You must have the kitten examined by a certified veterinarian within 72 hours of the kitten arriving at Buyers home. Please note that failure to do this will render all guarantees null and void. If the kitten is found to be ill during the first 72 hours, it must be reported immediately, with confirmation from a certified veterinarian. If the condition is treatable, Velvet Thunder Cattery will reimburse for reasonable and customary veterinary medical charges. If the kitten is found to be medically deficient with an un-treatable or life-threatening condition, steps will be taken to provide for the return of the kitten. Upon the return/demise of the ill kitten, a replacement kitten of equal value will be provided as soon as nature permits, hopefully within 6 months.

Fourteen (14) day isolation

The kitten must be kept indoors at all times except as allowed in the Terms & Conditions for Adoption. The new kitten must be isolated from other pets, especially other cats, for not less than 14 days. One reason for this is to be sure that any infectious disease has time to manifest itself in the new kitten, or other pets, before they are introduced. Please note that failure to do this will render all guarantees null and void.

Congenital Defects

Our kittens are guaranteed against any congenital defects for one year. Should the kitten die or become ill during that time, as a result of a congenital defect, the kitten will be replaced with another of equal value as soon as nature permits, hopefully within 6 months. Replacement is dependent upon the return or demise of the kitten. This will be done ONLY with a certified veterinarian's certificate of necropsy and cause of death, in the event of death, or certification of specific congenital illness or defect.

Limited Liability

The liability of Velvet Thunder Cattery and its owners is limited to a replacement kitten, or veterinarian fees as described above. After the first 72 hours*, we do not pay veterinarian fees of any kind.

Exclusions

Expressly excluded from this guarantee is accidental death or a widespread feline epidemic. Also expressly excluded is treatment by your vet for Ringworm, even if detected within the first 72 hours*. If your kitten should contract Ringworm, please contact us for advice on treatment.
