Welcome to the select few who have the joy of owning one of the world’s most lovable creatures. We at NoCoatKitty put our cat’s needs first; we want you to do the same!

The seller and buyer agree to the following

1. This cat/kitten is to be of sound health upon arrival. It MUST be vet checked within 72 hours or contract will be in breach. It is recommended that the new cat be kept in quarantine during this time. If it is found medically deficient with an untreatable or life threatening illness, buyer must notify the seller immediately with letter/fax from the examining veterinarian. Upon its return, it will be replaced with another cat/kitten. If one is not available the buyer will be placed first on waiting list or full refund of kitten. Buyer is responsible for transportation costs when receiving replacement kitten. Kitten should also be tested for any parasites at their first vet check and before being exposed to other pets in your home. Though kittens are wormed before leaving it is always possible and very common.

2. Buyer agrees to have Nocoatkitty’s/Lluvatar’s kitten Spayed or Neutered by 5lbs or 6 months of age which ever comes first, at buyers expense. Papers WILL NOT be released until proof from your vet is provided that the cat/kitten has been sterilized. If cat/kitten is not spayed/neutered by 6 months of age, seller will enforce breach of contract for the maximum dollar amount ($2500 which is the amount that kittens are sold with full rights plus kitten must be returned at buyers expense). If said Cat/kitten is bred any offspring of this kitten are to be delivered to the breeder as the breeder’s sole property, and the breeder will also reclaim this cat without refund. NoCoatKitty does not give permission to breed said cat/kitten. Kitten is still registered under breeder until proof of spay/neuter. Breeder also has the right to fix any kitten sold as a pet prior to he/she leaving our home.

WHY FIX YOUR KITTY BY 6 Months? Males unfixed tend to spray! This spraying can ruin your carpet, furniture, and even your walls. Males can also get aggressive and agitated ….Fixing a boy before the age 6 months will prevent this behavior from happening.

Females unfixed can develop a serious condition called PYOMETRA…Sphynx are VERY PRONE TO PYO and can even develop it at a young age. Untreated, she will die. Fixing a female cat before 6 months old will eliminate this problem! Female also spray and mark their territory when not spayed it is not just a male issue we have many girls that spray way worse than boys! INITIAL:

3. It is understood that the degree of hairlessness in a Sphynx vary from cat to cat and that no feline is completely hairless. Fur on tail, feet, and face is common. Furthermore, it is understood that hormones and genetics play an important roll in hairlessness and that even though a Sphynx kitten may be almost hairless when sold it is possible said kitten could develop some hair after being Spayed/Neutered or as they grow older. Reasons include but not limited to: weather and climate, and hormonal changes can have a bearing on growth.

4. Cat/kitten will be kept indoors as a loved member of the family. Cat/kitten will not be caged as a primary living arrangement.

5. If for reasons other than the animal’s health you cannot retain ownership of the cat/kitten, Nocoatkitty will be given the right of first refusal as surrender. I will take kittens/Cats back at any age if you can no longer keep he/she. Depending on their age and what he/she can be resold for depends on funds that will be returned to you. YES WE BUY OUR CATS BACK. (Minus non refundable deposit). If kitten/cat is resold or given away to 3rd party it will be breach of contract and legal action will be taken. We take this very serious INITIAL

6. No kitten/cat from this cattery may be sold privately, given to an animal shelter, sold or given to pet store, abandoned, or sold or given to a laboratory for experimental purposes.

7. Seller is not responsible for any Vet bills incurred once cat/kitten is in buyer’s possession.Upon its arrival, buyer needs to take the said cat/kitten to be checked by their qualified licensed Veterinarian, within 3 days, or contract will be in breach.

8. Seller will guarantee one year of genetic illness resulting in death the cat. Kitten replacement only if necropsy has been preformed and a certificate from your vet is provided as proof of the cause of death. If kitten is diagnosed with an illness of any sort that will greatly effect his/her life buyer has option to return kitten and receive a replacement, or keep kitten and seller will give a replacement kitten. If buyer chooses to keep the kitten they are responsible for any vet bills that may arise. Buyer is responsible for shipping costs when receiving replacement.

9. Please DO NOT use Banfield Vets. A lot of our clients have had very serious problems with many different locations. There are also HUNDREDS of complains on the BBB and many other places on the internet.

HCM: Breeding cats are scanned for HCM yearly, However HCM can show at any age and is not always genetic. The hairless breed like many breeds is known to have heart issues and you must be aware and agree to the special needs of this unique breed.

10. The cat/kitten WILL NOT be de-clawed INITIAL___________. De-clawing is an inhumane mutilation. It consists of amputation of the first knuckle. Weekly nail-clippings, gentle discipline along with the availability of a scratching post or mat will eliminate scratching problems. The procedure is essentially ten complex amputations. The cat must remain anesthetized for the entire procedure, increasing operative risk. A cat's claw is a complex digit. It is not just a fingernail as it is with humans. The nails retract and are actuated by muscles and tendons. By cutting into these, you raise the risk of serious long-term physical and emotion impacts for your cat. Declawed cats in effect are reduced in their ability to gain traction and to walk properly. They have to move with their weight shiftedbackwards from their natural posture. Claws exist for many reasons:* To stretch out muscles and spine* To help exercise and stay fit* To provide defense against mistreatment or other animals* To provide traction and grip in all sorts of environments. The consequences of declawing are larger than many people realize. Cat's behaviors can change. Declawed cats no longer have their primary defense mechanism and turn to biting as default behavior. Physical ailments such as premature arthritis, cystitis, or perennial skin disorders can occur. Declawing removes the claw immediately above the "extending mechanism." The joint is cut off and the underlying tendon is cut. TAKE THE TIME TO TRAIN YOU KITTY. Declawing is ILLEGAL in most of the world and in some US States.

10. If buyer having put a deposit on a cat/kitten should later change their mind about the purchase for any reason, $500 of the deposit will not be refunded, any remanding will be refunded the way it was received. The purpose of this deposit is to ensure the Purchaser's intent to buy the kitten named herein. This kitten is being held for the Purchaser and will not be sold to another Buyer unless the Purchaser indicates in writing that he/she has changed his/her mind about the purchase. Any breach of contract, whether verbal, written or through neglect or avoidance to communicate on the Purchaser's part can jeopardize the chance of finding a suitable home for a kitten or cat as quickly as possible. Therefore; if the

Purchaser changes his/her mind about purchasing this kitten for any reason, the DEPOSIT ($500) NOT REFUNDABLE. If you paid more for deposit it will be refunded in the manner you paid.

11. If the cat/kitten should die before the buyer picks up cat/kitten, Nocoatkitty Cattery will replace it with one of equal quality and value. If one is not available, the buyer will be placed first on a waiting list or full refund for kitten will be given to the buyer.

12. Our cattery has been devoted to producing beautiful kittens for wonderful loving homes. Lots of time, effort, commitment and careful scheduling goes into running our small home cattery. Breeding is a hobby for this family, as such the owners of this cattery have full time careers. Because of this, Nocoatkitty adheres strictly to the due dates/pickup dates . As a courtesy to our customers, we are flexible on the pickup date up to a week from the posted date, if prior notification/communication is done 2 weeks prior to pickup. For any other day over the one week mark, the customer is liable to incur additional pet care fees for the kitten/ cat @ $20.00/day until day of physical pickup.

13. Please DO NOT put a collar on your cat. Even break away collars can be dangerous. Cats have been severely hurt and even passed away from wearing a collar. Your cat does not need to wear one, it is indoors. Clothing should not be kept on them when your not home.

Most sphynx do not like wearing clothes.
