If the cat is to be shown, or is exposed to cats who are being shown, and/or cats new to the household, and/or indoor-outdoor cats, we recommend it be vaccinated with a four-way vaccine at six-month intervals. Queens should be vaccinated one month before being bred. Cats who are not being shown or exposed to at-risk cats (as described above) may be vaccinated yearly.
7. HEALTH GUARANTEE: Our health guarantee covers viral and bacterial diseases, fungus infections, and internal and external parasites. It extends through ________________________________________. In order to qualify for this guarantee, the kitten must be examined by a licensed veterinarian within 48 hours after delivery (except Sundays and holidays). If during the guarantee period, the cat/kitten seems ill, it is to be examined by a veterinarian. If the vet feels that the animal is ill and that the illness was present prior to sale, the breeder should be contacted at once, before any major treatment is begun (except in an emergency situation). The breeder will (upon receipt of a statement from the examining veterinarian that the illness was present prior to sale) pay the cost of the medical treatment (up to the purchase price of the animal). If the cat/kitten should die from a problem present prior to sale, the breeder will either replace the animal with one of equal quality, or refund the purchase price plus cost of shipping. The total liability of the breeder shall in no case exceed the total price listed on the first page of this contract. We guarantee this cat/kitten to be FeLV and FIV-negative at time of sale.

C. The cat will not be allowed outside except on a leash (under close supervision), or in a completely enclosed run.
D. The cat will be given the proper diet in the proper amount (as specified in writing at time of sale), and will have fresh water available at all times.

F. The cat will receive frequent and kind human attention.
G. If for reasons other than the animal's health you cannot retain ownership of the cat, the breeder will be given the right of first refusal (for no more than the original purchase price in the case of an unaltered cat, or $_________ for a spay/neuter). Additionally, the purchaser agrees to obtain the breeder's permission before selling or leasing an unaltered cat from this cattery to any other party for breeding purposes.
H. No cat/kitten from this cattery may be bred to other than a registered Maine Coon Cat.
I. No cat/kitten from this cattery may be sold or given to an animal shelter, sold or given to a pet store, abandoned, or sold or given to a laboratory.
