When you make the choice to bring a cat into your home, you (the “Buyer” or “you”) are going to need to make a financial commitment to providing your cat with all of the essentials they’ll require. This includes frequent veterinarian visits to keep your cat up-to-date on all vaccinations.
we promise we have done everything possible to make sure your new cat is healthy when he or she departs. Our comprehensive health guarantee has you covered if a health issue should arise. We would love this Health Guarantee (“Health Guarantee”) to protect against all forces of nature and manner of illness; unfortunately, that can’t always happen, and sometimes “life” interjects. The first year of this comprehensive health guarantee is provided exclusively by your Breeder. Years 2 and 3 are covered and backed exclusively by PetPay, Inc., excluding previous conditions, diagnoses, and related claims. PetPay, Inc. and make no representations, warranties, covenants, responsibilities, agreements, or guarantees with regards to the first year of this Health Guarantee. This Health Guarantee referenced herein on Pawrade.com is strictly reference-only and for informative purposes only, is not valid and does not provide additional coverage. The governing Health Guarantee is administered by PetPay, Inc., found on PetPay.com and for which its terms are fully incorporated herein by reference and takes precedence over all other guarantees, terms, and policies supplemental or conflicting.
To the best of the Breeder’s knowledge, the cat is healthy and in sound condition at the time of sale and prior to leaving the Breeder’s premises/possession. You can be rest assured knowing the cat is up-to-date on all vaccinations at the time of the cat’s scheduled delivery. Requiring the use of your own ground shipper to transport the cat will result in the cancellation of coverage under the First 14 Days of this Health Guarantee as cats are prone to many illnesses if not transported with the utmost of care.
Buyer’s Obligations
This Health Guarantee stipulates your obligations defined below:
– **Upload Delivery & Transfer of Ownership Confirmations** – Upon receipt of your cat, you will be required to upload photos to confirm the delivery for transfer of ownership of the cat to you.
– **Veterinary Care** – One of the cornerstones of good health for your cat is regular veterinary care. Upon arrival of your cat, you must take your cat in for a wellness/baseline exam by a licensed veterinarian within the first three (3) calendar days (72 hours). You may not use Banfield Pet Hospital as any and all claims will be denied. A copy of these exam results or medical records must be provided to PetPay upon making a claim. Wellness checkups and timely vaccinations are required on a regular basis or as recommended by your licensed veterinarian.
– **MetLife Pet Insurance** – Activation of your MetLife Pet Insurance policy is required to activate this Health Guarantee. Activation is only permitted after you’ve received your cat and uploaded your proof of delivery and transfer of ownership paperwork including delivery picture to PetPay and prior to any vet visits, including prior to your mandated 72-hour veterinary check, to ensure your Health Guarantee is in full force and effect.
– **No Vaccines for 10 Days** – Since your cat arrives up-to-date on all vaccinations, you should not have the cat vaccinated within the first ten (10) days in order to avoid over-vaccination unless the cat is of age and due its next round of vaccinations.
– **Pet-Only** – All cats are sold as pets unless expressively consented otherwise in writing by the Breeder. Buyer agrees and acknowledges that he/she will not breed the pet and that this Health Guarantee covers Pet-Only rights to exclude both Breeding rights and Breeding ability.
– **Spaying/Neutering** – It is understood that your cat is intended as a pet/companion only and will not be bred or mated at any time; doing so will result in this Health Guarantee becoming null and void. Your cat should be spayed or neutered before the cat is nine (9) months of age if its predicted adult weight is under 45 lbs. or before twelve (12) months of age if its predicted adult weight is over 45 lbs. Certain large breed male cats require neutering between 12 months and 18 months of age to avoid prostate cancer from a lack of hormones due to insufficient testosterone levels prior to 12 months of age. Spaying/neutering your cat will lead to a longer, healthier life. Spaying your female will help prevent uterine infections and breast tumors, which are malignant or cancerous in about 50 percent of cats. Neutering your male cat prevents testicular cancer and some prostate problems. All registry paperwork will be sent once proof of spaying/neutering is received.
– **Feeding** – It is understood that you will feed the cat the same food as depicted by the Breeder. The cat’s food brand and formulation are accessible on the cat listing.
– **Exercise** – You agree to provide appropriate exercise to keep your cat active and healthy. Avoiding over-exercising and over-exertion is especially important while your cat is growing; please consult your veterinarian regarding the appropriate amount of exercise relative to your cat’s age.
– **Health and Nutrition** – A healthy diet is crucial for your cat’s overall health, especially during kittenhood. It is important to continue feeding the same high-quality food that has been fed by your Breeder. If you’re going to switch to a different food, be sure to do so gradually over five-to-seven days. Do not underfeed or overfeed your cat; follow the recommended feeding guidelines provided by your Breeder or a licensed veterinarian.
– **Parvo Preventative Care** – Buyer understands the cat has been vaccinated for Parvo and every measure has been taken to protect the cat from this virus. However, Buyer understands the cat may still contract parvo and that they should not take the cat anywhere it could come in contact with, or where unvaccinated cats may have been until 2 weeks after his/her 4-month booster is completed as this could transmit Parvo to the cat. Areas of potential contact with parvo are but not limited to: Areas where cats are walked, cat parks, pet stores, vet clinic floors, parking lots, near the feces of other cats.
– **Rehoming** – In the event you are no longer able to care for and/or provide a safe home environment for the cat, you agree and understand the Breeder has the first right of refusal and that you are responsible for return shipping costs.
– **Release of Records** – To process any claim you agree to authorize a full release to PetPay, Inc. and its employees the entire medical veterinary history/records and reports that exist for your cat including imaging reports and studies (Radiographs, US, CT, MRI, NM), laboratory result reports, recommended treatment or continued treatment plan from any Veterinary Hospital. This authorization of full release must be valid for a period of (6) months from the date of authorization, whichever is greater, and requires the authorization and permission of PetPay, Inc. and its employees to contact and communicate directly with any Veterinary Hospital. Buyer is responsible for any fees incurred by their Veterinary Hospital in relation to this Release of Records stipulation. Failure or refusal to disclose a complete medical history for your cat when requested may result in the denial of your claim(s).
