KATHY ARCHER OF KENTUCKYKATZ CATTERY  

ALTER AGREEMENT FOR PETS (BREEDERS CONTACT ME FOR THAT AGREEMENT)

           (859) 338-0623 cell or (859) 268-4803           

KENTUCKYKATZ cattery is a registered under C.F.A. and  T.I.C.A. This certificate guarantees that the kitten purchased is C.F.A. and T.I.C.A. registered purebred Abyssinian kitten.  Born to Sire: Sir Winston’s Mystical Diamond and Dam: Hanna-of-Kentucky Darling.  This certificate guarantees the kitten purchased from KENTUCKYKATZ is of good health and free of genetic disorders and further assures the kitten will remain free of genetic disorders for one year, excluding allergies.  If a genetic disorder occurs within the date of acquiring your kitten, the breeder will refund the full amount of the purchase of the kitten or replace the kitten with proof of such disorder by a qualified veternarian. In accordance with this agreement, the kitten should be vet checked within 2 business days of possession and report any problems within 10 days of the vet visit.  Any serious concerns should be reported immediately as it could affect any animals in the breeders’ home and cattery.  Furthermore, the purchaser agrees to provide the kitten with the follow-up shots and tests needed to maintain their health and well being and after 16 weeks, include rabies, unless any or all have been previously provided by breeder.  This kitten is being sold “as a pet only” and the owner will have he/she neutered or spayed at the earliest time for the health of the kitten (not before 16 weeks and no later than 6 months and the kittens weighing at least 4 pounds).  The kitten is being sold WITH OUT breeding rights.  C.F.A. and T.I.C.A. Registration papers will be sent to purchaser upon receipt of the kitten being neutered or spayed with a written statement from the performing veterinarian, unless previously confirmed from the breeder.  By purchasing your kitten from Kentuckykatz Cattery, you also agree that your kitten will not be used for any type of experimentations, sold to another person or institution.  If for some reason, you cannot keep your kitten, even if it is an adult, as the breeder, I am to be notified. As long as I am still living and if you are unable to keep your cat after the one year genetic disorder outlined in the first paragraph the cat will need to be returned to me, the breeder, not for a refund, but to find proper placement of the cat.  The purchasee will be liable for any transportation costs at that time if necessary, unless previously agreed upon by the breeder.  De-clawing will be allowed ONLY in the front paws; however it is not my recommendation.  The kitten WILL NOT be caged or kenneled for any other reason except for transportation.  Any violations of this contract by the purchaser will void any guarantees by the breeder. 

               

De-clawing is NOT allowed without prior written permission from the breeder.   The kitten WILL NOT be caged for any reason except for transportation.  The kitten is allowed outside ONLY in a kitten safe run or being walked on a leash.  This prevents accidental death by dogs, cars, coyotes or theft.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

These statements are not warranted, guaranteed or intended to replace veterinarian advice.  These statements are suggestions from our studies and experience living with Abyssinian Cats.

1.  Water:  it is so important that kittens and cats have a plentiful water supply.  A bowl of water can get stagnate very quickly, within an hour, which harbors bacteria and collects materials unhealthy for your kitten.  So, not only is that unhealthy, but then kittens won’t drink the amount of water they need to maintain a healthy urinary tract.  Keeping running water with a fountain is ideal for your kitten.  Our kittens have been raised on two different fountains and have adapted to both easily.  One is called a Drinkwell Fountain with 50 oz. reservoir, it requires filters.  The other one is the The Bubbler Cat Waterer.  I have also used the Deluxe Fresh Flow Fountain, which our kittens and cats like, but we find it is just too small and it runs out quickly, therefore can burn out quickly.  It also uses filters.  We have the large Drinkwell with the 75 oz. reservoir for our three dogs, which they love. Please BE WARNED THOUGH that Abyssinians love water and a large body of water, like a bath, commode, anywhere they cannot get out of will be of grave danger or death.  So, DO NOT leave the kitten where they will be near a bath, pool, or outside water pumps for their protection.  

2.  Nutrition, of course is a vital.  Kittens and cats in general need more protein than dogs.  We have chosen to use a food with a 32% or higher protein base and one that can be used for kittens through adults.  The more natural the ingredients, the better.  We recommend dry food, moistening slightly while the kittens are young, but gradually reducing that as their teeth develop for healthy teeth and gums.  Reserve using canned cat food for special occasions or when needing them to take medicine.  Do not use table food.  However, cooked plain protein like chicken, beef, pork etc is fine on occasion.

3.  Adjusting to home may cause some changes in stool & eating habits. Kittens may cry in search for siblings until they vomit. These are very common situations. Soft stool should return to normal in one week. Vomiting should be small amounts after periods of crying & should be less than what the kitten ate. No more than three times a day for the first several days. We handle our kittens with in 6 hours of birth and introduce new scents, noises, animals, & small children.  They should adjust beautifully.  If your kitten seems stressed take it to a calm room hold him close to your chest under your chin and stroke the sides of his face.  Tug or stroke slightly on his ears with moistened fingers. It gives him the feeling his mother or siblings are bathing him.  Please feel free to call me or contact Dr. Quigley at Tates Creek Animal Hospital, Lexington, Kentucky.  Their website is www.tatescreekanimalhospital.com and they are always happy to help. Our kittens have been raised freely in our home.  They interact daily with our four children, three dogs and their parents.  They are extremely sociable.  Enjoy!!!
