Delivery shall be made at a time and place agreeable to both parties. If the cat is being shipped by air and the airline will not accept live animals due to weather conditions at either the point of departure or arrival, delivery will be made as soon as clearance is received from the air carrier and at the time agreeable to both parties.
- The Seller guarantees that the kitten/cat is healthy at the time of delivery. A record of all vaccinations administered will be provided.

If the health of the kitten/cat is not satisfactory, it may be returned within 10days after receipt. A vet certificate describing the health problems must be provided. Failure to do this will result in the health guarantee being nul and void.
- If at any time the kitten/cat becomes seriously ill or dies, the Buyer will notify the Seller as soon as possible. The buyer will provide a necropsy or veterinary health certificate at the Buyer’s expense. If the illness or death is due to a congenital problem, the Seller will replace with a kitten/cat of equal value as available. This guarantee is limited to the first year of the kitten/cat’s life.
