Agreement Terms

Terms and Conditions

Purchaser agrees to inform Breeder upon any change in contact information, within 90 days, so Breeder can maintain compliance with record keeping.

Purchaser agrees to quarantine their new Sphynx kitten from other household pets for the 48-hour health guarantee period. Kitten or cat should be quarantined until examined by the Purchaser’s licensed veterinarian (within the 48-hour period). It is the Purchaser’s responsibility to have the kitten or cat examined by a licensed veterinarian within 48 hours of receipt of kitten or cat for guarantee to be valid. Failure to have kitten or cat checked by a licensed veterinarian within 48 hours will void the health guarantee. During this exam purchaser agrees to combo test their new Sphynx kitten for FIV and Leukemia and keep their negative results for their own record keeping.

All sphynx kittens are guaranteed to be negative for FIV and Leukemia. After the 48-hour health guarantee period, the Breeder cannot be held accountable for future diagnosis of FeL and FIV or any other bacterial, viral, infectious diseases, or parasites due to the fact that these can be contracted anywhere in the environment after leaving the cattery and are not a result of genetics or breeding. Purchaser accepts all responsibility for protection of kitten or cat from said diseases, illnesses, parasites, and fungi.

This guarantee becomes void if kitten or cat comes into contact with another feline before being checked by a licensed veterinarian and tested first. If upon examination the kitten or cat is diagnosed with a life-threatening illness it is required that the Breeder is notified immediately by Purchaser via both phone and email along with a written letter and phone consult from the diagnosing veterinarian. DNA analysis may be required.

Purchaser accepts the responsibility of caring for the kitten or cat and will provide properly for its welfare. Purchaser agrees to provide timely veterinary care for any illness or injury acquired throughout the lifetime of kitten or cat. Purchaser agrees to provide said kitten or cat yearly preventative health checkups and exams to monitor any health changes. Purchaser agrees and understands that the Breeder is in no way financially responsible for veterinary care throughout the lifetime of kitten or cat.

Purchaser agrees to NEVER EUTHANIZE said kitten or cat without consent from the breeder first, no exceptions. If any serious health problems arise with your kitten or cat the Purchaser agrees to contact the Breeder right away so the appropriate plan of action may be discussed between Purchaser & Breeder first.

Purchaser agrees to provide their Sphynx kitten or cat with an annual echocardiogram (ultrasound) of the heart with a Board Certified Cardiologist beginning at 2 year of age to monitor any changes in their cat’s heart. Purchaser understands that HCM is a problem in the Sphynx cat breed and agrees to share copies of the kitten’s or cat’s future annual HCM scans with SHASHA Sphynx Cattery to assist in the prevention of life-threatening congenital heart defects in the SHASHA Sphynx breeding program. Purchaser understands the importance of preventative HCM screenings and agrees to be proactive in their cat’s future health.

Examining our cats on a regular basis is advantageous because it may allow for the identification of the disease (which often shows no outward symptoms) and thereby may allow early treatment which potentially could save & or significantly prolong your cat’s life. Purchaser understands if they neglect to scan their Sphynx for HCM, they do so understanding the potential risk.

Purchaser agrees to keep the kitten or cat indoors at all times in a clean and pleasant environment, not caged, provide proper nutrition, health care (including yearly veterinarian examinations and vaccinations), companionship, and adequate space for exercise.

The Purchaser agrees the kitten or cat under no circumstances will be allowed outside nor will be exposed to other kittens or cats living outside of the indoor household or the Breeder’s Guarantee will be void. The Purchaser agrees this kitten or cat will not be allowed to roam outdoors freely, as this action brings immediate climate or environmental related dangers and hazards to Sphynx cats.

The Purchaser agrees that the kitten or cat will NEVER be sold, given away, donated etc. to any other persons including, but not limited to a pet shop, breeder or cattery, research laboratory, rescue group, shelter or similar entity.

In the event the Purchaser can no longer keep kitten or cat, regardless of the age of the kitten or cat, the Breeder must be notified immediately by both phone and email and arrangements will be made for the kitten or cat to be surrendered to Breeder unless other arrangements are agreed upon prior to placement in writing with the notarized consent of Breeder agreeing to placement no exceptions; If shipping is needed to get kitten or cat back to Breeder, the Purchaser will be responsible for all related shipping expense.

Purchaser agrees to NEVER give FIP vaccines to your kitten. It is extremely important to find a vet that is familiar with the Sphynx breed! Sphynx have been known to have adverse reactions to vaccinations for FeL/FIV. We recommend 4 FVRCP 2 FeLV, 1 Rabies during the first year of life then FVRCP and Rabies annually for life No FIP. First FVRCP starting between 6-8 weeks then every 4 weeks until 16 weeks. Breeder is not held responsible for any warranty for kitten or cat against any adverse reactions to these or any other future vaccinations.

Breeder does not advise any of their kittens or cats be vaccinated for FIP, Ringworm, or Giardia. FIP vaccines are often times fatal if your cat has ever been exposed to the coronavirus, which 90% of cats in a multiple cat household have been. They will break out with the fatal form of FIP if given the vaccine. There is no known treatment for FIP and it is fatal. Purchaser agrees and understands that if any of these vaccines are given at any time throughout the life of the kitten or cat then the health guarantee and contract is void.

The purchaser understands that it is REQUIRED that all current cats owned in the Purchaser’s home should be combo tested for FIV and Leukemia BEFORE bringing in their new Sphynx kitten. This also applies for any outdoor cats that may come into the home and come into contact with your Sphynx. This combo test is a quick blood test usually costing around 40 dollars that can be completed within 20 minutes at your vet’s office. By not following this requirement Purchaser is aware that they may be putting their Sphynx at risk of contracting FIV and or Leukemia and understands the health guarantee is void.

Purchaser agrees to NEVER DE-CLAW any Sphynx Kitten or Cat from Furless Feline Sphynx Cattery (located in Texas, USA). De-clawing cats can have many horrible side effects, please research this and use nail caps or clip nails often. Provide cat trees & scratch pads!

The Purchaser understands that degrees of hairlessness in Sphynx vary from cat to cat and that no Sphynx is completely hairless. It is understood that hormones, climate, and genetics play an important role in hairlessness and that even though a Sphynx kitten may be almost hairless when sold, it is possible that said kitten could develop some hair after being neutered or spayed or as it grows older. It is also impossible to guarantee that any Sphynx kitten or cat will not grow some hair at some point in the future.

Any violation of the *TERMS in this contract will be cause for voiding the contract and can result in legal action. In the event the Purchaser has been found to disregard or violate ANY *TERMS in the contract the said kitten or cat will be surrendered unconditionally to the Breeder at Purchaser’s expense with the Breeder reclaiming full physical and legal ownership of said kitten or cat including TICA and CFA registration with ownership transfer, NO Exceptions; The contract will be enforced with or without due process of the law for any violation of the *Terms without compensation to Purchaser.
