Health Guarantee

<<Health Guarantee >>
Our Ragdoll Kitten/Cat has a 2 year guarantee against lethal genetic or congenital defects.  Kitten is guaranteed with no FIP for 16 months.  If the Kitten/Cat should die or have to be destroyed within these time limits, breeder will replace the Kitten/Cat with a similar Kitten/Cat of equal value, upon being provided an autopsy report which shows cause of death.  We provide autopsies for $120 and will determine cause of death in a quick turn around. This is required for any/all replacements. The breeder is not required to replace the Kitten/Cat with the exact color or pattern. There will be no cash refunds under any circumstances.  Breeder will not be responsible for any of the shipping costs.  The necropsy report must be from a licensed veterinary pathologist stating unquestionably a genetic or congenital defect. This necropsy report is at the Buyer’s sole expense.
This kitten will have been dewormed and had the appropriate vaccinations for their age and size before they leave. If they leave early or if their health may be at risk, vaccinations will be delayed. The kitten’s health is primary so we consider all things before giving vaccinations or any other type of intervention, including flea treatments, which contain neuro toxins and can make kittens sick.  This guarantee will be null and void if the kitten is given a 3rd set of vaccinations in its first year or if the buyer vaccinates for Feline Leukemia at any time. Texas Ragdoll Kittens agrees to provide a complete record of all deworming and vaccinations for this Kitten/Cat.  TRK will not be responsible for any adverse reactions to subsequent vaccines.  Please take care to not do more than one procedure at any given time to these Ragdoll babies.
There are many reasons that cats die, cause of death has to be determined before discussion of a replacement can take place. Once the three day period has passed and your cat is determined to be in good health, there is an expectation that all of our Ragdolls would receive proper veterinary care when/if they were to get sick after the initial period has passed. This is part of owning pets and the buyer’s sole responsibility. Vaccines make kittens sick. Vaccinate at your own risk.
We do not recommend that you give multiple shots at one time.  These kitties are very delicate (as are all babies) and too many shots in one day can make them ill, even fatally (search ‘adverse reactions to vaccines in cats’ online for more info).  Please wait to give Rabies vaccine until after 4 months of age. If Buyer chooses to inoculate for FIP and/or FeLV, Breeder will not guarantee kitten.  As your Ragdoll is an inside cat only, we feel these vaccinations are too risky.
 
<<Declawing>>
Think Twice about declawing! It is the removal of the entire finger for these babies. It can affect their future behavior and temperament and will void your health guarantee.  Plus it is just mean. Please watch the video before you decide to do this procedure. It is the removal of all of their toes.
Declawing will also void your contract. Trim their nails with a nail clipper (just the pointy tips) and they will be less likely to scratch.  Putting out a scratching post for them will keep them from scratching up your furniture.  There is NEVER a good reason to declaw an animal. It is cruel and is removing one of the digits of their fingers and may result in behavior and temperament problems in the future as well as infection and prolonged healing period with antibiotics and vet visits.  A scratching pole should cure them of scratching your furniture. Also putting them in a room where they can’t get into trouble when you are not around will help.

Health Contract

At Lysahragdollkit we guarantees the Kitten/Cat to be healthy at the time of purchase and delivery.  If for any reason the buyer feels that the kitten is not well, the kitten must be vet-checked within 72 hours of receiving him/her. After that the kitten will be considered as healthy. If the buyer feels that the kitten is ill, a copy of the exam should be submitted to Lysahgadollkit within the first 72 hours of receiving the kitten. If it is found that there is a health concern, the Buyer has 48 hours after veterinary exam in which to ask for a Kitten/Cat replacement.  This request must accompany a letter from the veterinarian stating why the Kitten/Cat’s health is in question. There will be no cash refunds.

<<Vaccines>>

(If you imprint the immune system incorrectly, it will never work correctly again) guidelines from!
Dr Remi D. Schultz.
Vaccines can cause many health problems for your Ragdoll kitten/cat. Vaccines affect the immune system, rendering your kitten/cat less able to fight off things that come around at the groomer or the vet’s office or even at your house.  In and of themselves, vaccines can cause autoimmune diseases such as lupus, red cell aplasia, autoimmune hemolytic anemia cardiomyopathies; neoplasias such as fibrosarcomas, mast cell tumors, thyroid tumors, inflammatory bowel disease, eczematous ears, dermatological conditions, warts, lipomas, poor hair coats, stomatitis, periodontal disease, thyroid disease, and even DEATH. Your warranty covers only genetic defects, not vaccinating or compromised immune once the shots are given. Please remember, cats have lived forever without any vaccinations at all. We give them their two kitty vaccines and they will not need any more being inside your home. The risk the vaccines involve for something that your kitten will not be exposed to is not worth it. Your kitten in our biggest concern. Live virus shot into the bloodstream is very dangerous, for any cat. But these are not regular cats. Their best defense is good nutrition, and clean water/environment. And lots of love
