Allure of the Brit

A British Shorthair Cattery

Adoption Contract

This contract is between __________________ , purchaser, and Karen Kahn, Allure of the Brit breeder, hereafter referred to as purchaser and breeder.

This kitten/cat is being adopted as a pet, does not have the breeding rights, and must be spayed or neutered before the age of 8 months. If desired, the CFA or TICA registration documents and pedigree will be forwarded to the new owner after the veterinary proof of spay/neuter is provided to breeder. This must be arranged prior to purchase.

The kitten/cat is adopted in good faith and appears to be in excellent health and at an age appropriate weight. This kitten/cat shall NEVER be declawed since such a surgery is a cruelty against the animal. The breeder reserves the right to cancel any kitten adoption at any time prior to shipping or pick up.

It is expected that the purchaser will provide a loving home that cares for all the physical, medical and emotional needs of the kitten/cat throughout its life. 

Under no circumstances will this cat/kitten be sold, leased, given away to any pet shop, research laboratory, animal shelter or similar facility. Should purchaser be unable to keep kitten/cat, the breeder is to be notified and a suitable new placement is to be approved by the breeder. Contract remains in effect with a new placement.

A nonrefundable $500.00 deposit is required to hold the kitten/cat. Balance of Adoption Fee is due prior to transporting or pick up. All vaccinations are current at the time of purchase. Purchaser is expected to provide further needed vaccinations.

The adopted kitten/cat is protected by a health guarantee against all life threatening genetic defects up to one year of age. Should it be found by a licensed veterinarian that this kitten/cat, in fact, has a life threatening genetic defect, upon written proof/necropsy, a replacement kitten/cat of comparable quality and value will be offered when available (within one year).

The purchaser has ten business days to have a veterinarian exam performed should purchaser so desire. It is recommended the kitten/cat be quarantined from other pets for a minimum of two weeks. Failure to have the kitten/cat examined within the ten days relieves the breeder of any financial responsibility and renders this contract void. After that any expenses incurred by the purchaser for the veterinarian or the treatment of the kitten/cat shall be the sole responsibility of the purchaser. Should medical treatment be necessary within the ten day period, upon proof, the breeder will be responsible for half of the incurred bill, for medication only.

Allure of the Brit  holds a maximum liability for this kitten/cat’s  adoption fee, less the cost of shipping.
