Purchaser/New Pet Owner: 

The Breeder and the New Pet Owner are both acknowledging that the said kitten/cat is being purchased as a: 
Pet only ___

	Mischievous Ragdoll kittens are guaranteed for one year of age against fatal genetic or congenital defects. In the event of a death within the first year of age, a replacement kitten will be given, or a refund will be given. To qualify for a replacement kitten or refund, a necropsy must be performed in the event the kitten dies. Proof of genetic or congenital defect must be made by a licensed veterinarian and all vet records must be sent to Mischievous Ragdolls for review. No viral diseases (including Feline Infectious Peritonitis or FIP), bacterial infections, or parasites are covered by the one-year genetic/congenital guarantee, as we have no control over the environment to which the kitten is exposed to once it leaves our cattery. The breeder does not warranty the cat/kitten from any adverse reactions against any future vaccines or procedures/surgeries. 
	The Breeder is not liable for any veterinarian expenses that are incurred by the New Pet Owner(s) throughout the kitten’s/cat’s life. The New Pet Owner(s) also understand that there will be no reimbursement of any kind for any veterinary or non-veterinary expenses that accumulate or occur that may be associated with any diagnosed acquired illness that may occur throughout the kitten’s/cat’s lifetime. 
**The Purchaser/New Pet Owner agrees to not have ANY TYPE of surgical procedure performed on the said kitten/cat in an attempt to remove the kitten/cat’s claws. In the event this occurs, ALL health guarantees on the said kitten/cat will become void. 
	
	Mischievous Ragdolls recommends keeping new kittens/cats away from other family household pets for two weeks. This will allow for proper acclimation for the kitten/cat, and for the family’s pet to get used to new smells the kitten/cat will introduce into the home. We recommend keeping the kitten/cat in a bedroom and bathroom area where the family can spend quality time with the kitten/cat allowing for proper bonding and attachments to people in the home to occur. Pets already in the home will adjust to the kitten’s/cat’s new smell under the door and will allow for all pets in the home to get used to each other over the two weeks. Each kitten/cat should also have one litter box allowing them to have a sanitary home environment. This should be cleaned daily. 
	
	Ragdolls are extremely social and sensitive cats and will often experience periods of adjustment when going to their new home. Changes in their home environment or the introduction of other animals may cause stress to the kitten/cat. New Pet Owner(s) need to be sensitive to signs of stress and make sure weight is maintained. During the kitten’s/cat’s two-week acclimation period, the New Pet Owner(s) should watch for signs of distress. These can include sneezing, watery eyes, runny nose, diarrhea, constipation, and/or hair loss. The kitten/cat may also hide in their new home for the first 48 hours. 
	Please keep fresh food, water, and their litter box nearby to make the adjustment easier for the kitten/cat, and until the kitten/cat acclimates. 
**The New Pet Owner(s) agrees the kitten/cat will live strictly indoors and will NOT be permitted outdoors. Failure to do so will void ANY and ALL health guarantees. 
**Kittens/cats will be up-to-date on vaccinations before leaving Mischievous Ragdolls Cattery for FVRCP, will be spayed/neutered, dewormed, and decreed to be healthy by our vet. If you choose to vaccinate your kitten against FIP, FIV, or FeLV, this guarantee from Mischievous Ragdolls Cattery will be void. These vaccines are not core and can make your kitten sick, and will make them test positive for FIP, FIV, or FeLV. Only have your kitten vaccinated for feline distemper (panleukopenia), calicivirus, and rhinotracheitis. Rabies vaccinations can be given if the New Pet Owner(s) chooses to vaccinate for this, but it is not necessary since the kitten/cat will remain indoors for the duration of its lifetime. 

	It is the New Pet Owner(s) responsibility to keep the kitten’s/cat’s vaccinations up to date and to take them for regular veterinary check-ups. 
	The kitten is not to be sold under any circumstances. If a kitten is found to have been sold or given away, the health guarantee is void and not transferrable. If for any reason your cat/kitten needs to be rehomed, we will ALWAYS take them back or help you find them another home, but without reimbursement or refund.
	If the adopter violates any terms of this agreement, the breeder has the right to recover the kitten(s) and the adopter will comply by returning the kitten(s) to the breeder with no refund or reimbursement. 
	The New Pet Owner(s) signature(s) below along with the Breeder are required to make this agreement a legal and binding agreement between the two parties herein.
