Long Term Health Guarantee: The kitten is guaranteed against congenital defects for THREE YEARS. If you provide the medical records to establish that you have maintained your kitten’s shots and vet care in accordance with the contract, should your kitten die within one year from its birth date as a direct result of a congenital defect, the cat will be replaced ONLY if an appropriate necropsy is performed by a licensed veterinarian and a veterinarian’s certificate is provided as proof of cause of death from a hereditary/congenital defect. A replacement will be made of a kitten of comparable quality and value, as available, at the discretion of Breeder. You agree that the Breeder has no liability and will not pay for your vet bills. This guarantee becomes void if “Military City Maine Coons” is no longer in business.

• Ways to VOID this Health Guarantee:
  • (i) failure to have your kitten checked by a licensed veterinarian within 72 hours of taking him/her home and failure to obtain all required boosters and annual shots at your vet;
  • (ii) failure to quarantine your kitten for the first 7-10 days;
  • (iii) failure to notify Breeder that vet determined kitten is UNFIT within 2 business days of vet’s discovery;
  • (iv) declawing- this is actually amputating a piece of each toe of your cat – outlawed in many countries because of cruelty;
  • (v) failure to spay or neuter within 12 months voids this health guarantee AND gives me the right to seek legal action and return of the kitten;
  • (vi) failure to comply with any of the terms and conditions of the seller’s contract;
• *FIP Disclaimer. Buyer understands that Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) is a viral disease of cats caused by certain strains of a virus called the feline coronavirus. The coronavirus is as common in cats as the common cold is in humans and normally not dangerous at all. Cats infected with coronavirus generally do not show any symptoms and it resolves itself just like the common cold. However, in a very small percentage of cats infected with the coronavirus, either by mutation or an anomaly of the immune response, the infection progresses into clinical FIP. Once a cat develops clinical FIP the disease is progressive and may be fatal. Your kitten can contract FIP with contact with another cat carrying FIP or from a visit to your local pet store or your vet after a FIP positive cat has been there. There is no definitive tool for detecting FIP in live cats at this time. Just because a cat tests positive for coronavirus does not mean that it has or ever will develop FIP. Because the coronavirus is so prevalent in domestic cats it is impossible to guarantee against it or FIP. HOWEVER, as a courtesy, the Breeder will cover your new kitten for two months from the date of delivery, against death due to FIP if the diagnosis is confirmed by a licensed vet by necropsy or written statement that the cat exhibited all signs and symptoms of a death due to FIP. The Breeder will NOT pay your vet bills. However, in the unlikely event your kitten passes naturally from FIP (not put to sleep by you) within 8 weeks of your pickup date, the Breeder agrees to replace the kitten/cat with a kitten of equal value at such time as one becomes available within one year. This agreement becomes void if Military City Maine Coons is no longer in business
  • Keep your new kitten away from stray cats and always wipe counters at your vet before placing your kitten on the examination table. Take precautions to keep your kitten safe!
