Warranty Void If FIP Vaccine Given
8. We do not recommend vaccinating this cat/kitten with the FIP vaccines. These Vaccines are not safe for any
breed. Reference: Feline Infectious Diseases, Chapter 7, page 54, (first column-last paragraph). Written by Niels
C. Pedersen, D.V.M. Ph. D.
All Cats carry the Corona Virus in one variation or another. Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) is caused by a
Corona Virus that can infect any cat. In any event that said cat/kitten should be diagnosed with FIP/ FIPV with
or without the introduction of the vaccine and it causes death of said Cat/ Kitten this would not qualify for a
replacement. ____
Vaccinations
9. Your cat/kitten has been given the required vaccination series, excluding FIP vaccine. We pride ourselves in
raising healthy, vaccinated, kittens. At the time said cat/kitten leaves our cattery, to the best of our knowledge, in
healthy condition. However, in the event that said cat/kitten should be diagnosed with a condition, this would not
qualify for a replacement. No responsibility can be accepted for any illness occurring after purchase for any
stress related symptoms, from traveling or exposure to cats or their illnesses on the buyers end. ____
Shipping
10. Costs including health certificate required for shipping are to be paid by the (Buyer,) when purchasing a
kitten that must be shipped. Cat/kitten will be shipped Prepaid Freight Only. An estimate will be provided to the
(Buyer.) An airline-approved carrier of suitable
size will be estimated into the cost of the airline prepaid freight ticket. A viral panel test can be included at an
additional cost. The cat/kitten must be at least three months of age for this blood test and to fly. (Payments will
only be excepted if it is cash or cashiers check or personal check and must clear my bank account prior to
shipping this may take up to 2 weeks to process.) Specific shipping arrangements will be made in advance and
confirmed to (Buyer) by (Seller,) with the kittens/cat best welfare in mind. This signed agreement must be
returned prior to cat/kitten being shipped. ____
Deposits
11. The goal of Rainbow Valley Bengals is to place our kittens/cat in loving homes in a timely manner so they
bond with their new families. If a kitten/cat is held specifically for a (Buyer,) a change of mind can quite often
jeopardize the chance for that particular kitten to be placed in a home while still at a desirable age. The cost to
be placed on the waiting
list for a kitten/cat is $25.00 (non refundable) this allows you to remain on the kitten list for a period of 12
months or 3 litters, (which ever is the greater) . Once you have chosen your kitten a deposit of $200. 00 will be
required. (non refundable, but deductible off
the final payment ) The remainder of the total cost ($) of your kitten/cat must be made in full and must be
received before Shipment or Pick up of any kitten.
