Kittens are NOT guaranteed against accidental death or injury at any time after sale.
It is considered common cattery practice and good animal husbandry to isolate any new
addition to a multi-cat household for a period of time.
Oz Catz will NOT be responsible for contagious diseases to which the purchased cat/kitten is exposed during shipping that are not evident during the initial guarantee period.
Part 2 : Guarantee against Congenital Defects
Oz Catz guarantees the purchased kitten against congenital defects for six months from the date of the kitten's birth.
If within this period, a qualified veterinary examination finds the purchased kitten to be medically deficient with an untreatable or life-threatening congenital defect, excluding accidents or neglect, a written statement from the said veterinarian MUST be provided to Oz Catz to support this.
If the purchased kitten dies within the guarantee period as a direct result of a congenital defect, an autopsy report by a qualified veterinarian (at the cost of the purchaser) MUST be provided to Oz Catz as proof of cause of death and to support any claim under this guarantee.
The purchaser MUST notify any claim to Oz Catz within 24 hours of such veterinary examination.
Upon return of the purchased kitten and the relevant veterinarian report to Oz Catz, or an autopsy report in the case of a deceased kitten, THE PURCHASED KITTEN WILL BE REPLACED with another kitten of equal value and equal guarantee. If no replacement kitten is available at that time, Oz Catz will have 6 months to furnish the purchaser with a satisfactory replacement.
The purchased kitten CANNOT be returned under this guarantee after this guarantee period has expired.
The purchased kitten SHOULD NOT be exposed to another cat or kitten that has NOT been currently vaccinated or that has exposure to other cats or kittens that are NOT currently vaccinated. Exposures of the purchased kitten to disease or hazards will immediately TERMINATE all health guarantees or options for replacement.
The purchaser must provide immediate veterinary care to the purchased kitten which shows signs of illness or distress and failure to do so will render all health guarantees NULL AND VOID.
If the purchased cat/kitten is euthanased without the prior knowledge of Oz Catz, except in the case where a veterinarian considers it the only humane alternative, this guarantee BECOMES VOID.
Where a replacement kitten is requested or where euthanasia is requested, the Purchaser agrees to grant full access to all veterinary records to Oz Catz. Veterinary records include copies of actual visit cards to veterinarians stating vaccinations, injuries, test results, etc. during the period the kitten is owned by the Purchaser.
NO refund or replacement will be given for any condition or defect caused by accident, neglect or malnutrition.
The purchaser is responsible for providing immediate veterinary care to the purchased cat/kitten showing signs of illness or distress. Failure to do so will render this guarantee NULL AND VOID.
If the Purchased Cat/Kitten is diagnosed with a minor imperfection (not known at time of sale) that requires no treatment and does not interfere with the normal function and purpose of the purchased Cat/Kitten, then NO refund or replacement will be given.
The purchaser will continue to maintain the health of the kitten with regular vaccination boosters by a qualified veterinarian and maintain regular and appropriate worming and parasite control programs for the kitten.
It is Oz Catz' strong recommendation for the best life expectancy of the cat that the kitten be kept inside throughout its life, and fed a premium kitten / cat food.
This agreement applies to Oz Catz and the purchaser and is non-transferable to other parties.
