Adoption Policy
The kitten/kittens will be transferred to the Buyer in good health to the best of the Breeder knowledge. All kittens from the SiberianMiracle Cattery will have age appropriate vaccinations and will be de-wormed at least once before they leave the cattery. The Breeder will supply a health record to the Buyer with the kitten. The Buyer agrees to have the kitten/kittens examined by a licensed veterinarian within 72 hours of purchase and agrees to notify the Breeder within 24 hours of any adverse findings other than stress-induced minor upper respiratory infection. The Buyer agrees to provide a written report, signed by the examining licensed veterinarian, including the diagnosis and all test results the diagnosis is based on to the Breeder. The Buyer may return the kitten/kittens to the Breeder for a refund of the purchase price excluding $300 deposit/reservation fees. No medical or travel charges will be refunded. SiberianMiracle Cattery kitten/kittens are guaranteed against congenital diseases for one year. Should the cat die within that time as a direct result of a congenital disease, the cat will be replaced ONLY if an appropriate autopsy is performed by a licensed vet and a vet’s certificate is provided as proof of cause of death. A replacement will be made of a cat of comparable quality and value, as available, at the discretion of the breeder . FIV virus, FIP virus and FeLV virus are not genetic diseases and do not covered by this policy.
All follow-up vaccinations and ANY and ALL other veterinary health care treatments or expenses are the responsibility of the Buyer, including the cost of spay or neuter. We required a Buyer to have a kitten/kittens spayed/neutered when they achieve the proper age (four to six months for a female and six to eight months for a male). Your kitten will be registered with The International Cat Association (TICA); however, your pedigree registration papers will not be mailed to you until the SiberianMiracle Cattery receives verification from a licensed veterinarian that your kitten has been spayed or neutered. Buyer assumes all risks of alteration surgery. Breeder may confirm alteration of the kitten with the veterinarian certifying the alteration. This is done to protect the natural breed of the Siberian cats. In the event that the purchaser fails to EITHER alter the kitten within 8-10 months from the kitten’s birth date or provide written proof to the breeder, the Buyer agrees that the Breeder has the right to repossess the kitten with no obligation or refund from the Breeder and the Buyer shall deliver the kitten to the Breeder within 14 days of demand from Breeder.
We prefer that you pick up your kitten at our location and Buyer has to pick up a new family member by him/herself.
The Buyer has to agree that kitten/kittens will NEVER be declawed at any conditions. You are adopting a kitten, not a puppy. Kittens and cats have claws, puppies and dogs have toenails. However, the puppy’s toenails do not serve the same purpose as the kitten’s claws. Those claws are an integral part of the animal’s personality and lifestyle. Most people aren’t aware that it’s not just the claws that are removed. Declawing involves the amputation of the first joint of each toe, and as any amputee can tell you, the pain persists for months if not years. We believe declawing is a cruel, painful, and debilitating surgery that will adversely impact your kitten’s personality. Cats are very smart animals. Teaching them to use scratching posts and boards is very easy. Paying close attention to your kitten’s behavior when he/she arrives followed by a firm “NO” and redirection to acceptable scratching surfaces (when needed) is a very effective way to dissuade problem behaviors such as furniture scratching.
The Breeder has a first right to take kitten/kittens back without any refunds in the unfortunate event that the Buyer can no longer keep the animal. The Buyer agrees not to sell, lease, or give away the cat/kitten to any pet store, shelter, research lab, breeding mill, or similar facility. Further, the Buyer agrees not to sell, trade, give, lease or otherwise release the animal to any other breeder without the written permission of SiberianMiracle Cattery.
