Health Guarantee for Our Exotic & Domestic Shorthair Kittens
All of our Exotic & Domestic Shorthair kittens are guaranteed to be 100% healthy, free of infectious or communicable diseases, and free of any symptoms of infection at the time of adoption.
We take great pride in the fact that our relationship with you continues even after you take your kitten home. As a dedicated family of Exotic & Domestic Shorthair cat lovers, we are committed to ensuring the health of our kittens.
Health Disclaimer
While we do everything possible to ensure the health of our kittens, certain factors such as genetics, diet, and overall care can influence a kitten’s health and may be beyond our control.
We cannot guarantee that your kitten will never experience health issues, but we can assure you that your new family member will be healthy when they leave our care.
Our Guarantee
In the unlikely event that your kitten dies from a genetic problem within the first year of life, or if it is diagnosed with a congenital or hereditary disorder that negatively affects its health, we will replace the kitten with one of equal value at no additional cost.
The cause of death or health issue must be confirmed by a licensed veterinarian.
WHAT WE REQUIRE OF YOU:
Nothing makes us happier than knowing we’ve provided you with a happy and healthy Exotic or Domestic Shorthair kitten. To ensure your kitten remains in great health, we kindly ask for your help. Here are a few important steps to follow:
Veterinary Examination:
After receiving your kitten, please send us a copy of the medical examination record within four business days.
The exam must be conducted by a licensed veterinarian.
Vaccination Guidelines:
While your kitten will come with current, age-appropriate vaccinations, we recommend avoiding any additional shots during the first 10 days after arrival.
Continued Health Care:
We will deworm and vaccinate your kitten until the departure date.
However, we encourage you to continue with deworming and routine checkups until your kitten is 16 weeks old (or as recommended by your veterinarian).
