By placing a deposit to hold a cat or kitten you agree to be bound by these terms and agree that you have read and understand these terms.
When purchasing a kitten you understand that regular veterinary visits are necessary for the health of the kitten. This is the responsibility of the buyer.
The buyer understands that a deposit or reservation fee to hold the kitten is a holding fee and is non-refundable unless the sale is cancelled by the Seller. Kittens are not guaranteed to be held until a deposit has been paid. If for some reason the deposit is returned, then the kitten would be made available for sale to others.
At time of pick up the kitten needs to be paid for in full. The Seller agrees to hold a kitten an additional two weeks from the advertised or agreed upon delivery date if needed. If the kitten is not picked up before this two week extension then the Buyer forfeits the deposit and the kitten will then be made available for others to purchase.
If for some reason the Buyer chooses to cancel the sale before the kitten is received the Buyer will forfeit the deposit and the kitten will be made available for sale.
