Notice to Prospective Owners
Kittens are not offered to all who apply, we
care very much that they have permanent, loving and safe homes to go
to where they will be thoroughly spoiled and unconditionally
loved. We choose to breed Persians because
out of all the many beautiful feline breeds there are, we love them
the best. In each litter we are looking for potential show
prospects, but understandably not all kittens necessarily meet the
strict showing criteria or are suitable for our breeding
programme. This means that we sometimes have pet kittens
available for loving laps in devoted, permanent
homes.
Kittens are only considered "reserved" upon
receipt of a non-refundable deposit of £150 on pet kittens, 25% of
the purchase price for show or breeding kittens, and all are sold
under a contract of care. Deposits are considered as a serious
commitment to a kitten and payment for boarding, grooming and lost
opportunities for placement if a buyer changes their mind.
However, I reserve the right to refuse to sell without
explanation at any time if I feel it to be in the best interests of
the kitten and, in that case, any deposit which has been paid,
would, of course, be refunded. Pet kittens have to be neutered
at six months of age. and the certificates supplied have
to be returned to the breeder at this time as veterinary
confirmation of this.
All our kittens go to their new
homes complete with our comprehensive Demelza Kitten Care Booklet
which gives advice on feeding, grooming, safety and general
care; fully and reliably litter trained, an accurate and full
pedigree; vaccination certificate, a Royal Canin booklet of
money off food vouchers worth £12.50. and a toy or two; They
are fully examined by our knowledgeable vet and vaccinated twice
against flu and entiritis, as well as wormed and treated with
Stronghold to guard against contracting fleas which means they are
always at least 13 weeks of age when they leave us, as the GCCF
advises. They are also insured for the first four weeks in their new
homes using Pet Plan, when they are at their most vulnerable.
Although not a condition of sale, we strongly recommend you
continue with the kittens insurance once the free period expires.
New kitten owners are expected to sign a contract whereby should the
kitten be unable to stay in his or her new home, he will be returned
to the breeder, and promising to lovingly care him or her for and
neuter the kitten at the appropriate time of six months.
This contract includes a clause whereby the kitten
will ONLY be allowed outside into a totally cat secure garden if
supervised at all times.
We are always at the end of the
telephone or e-mail for help and advice if necessary, or just to
hear news of our babies throughout their lives, and we love to
receive photographs, of course. Seeing pictures of our kittens
growing up, and then as adults, can really helps us
to plan our future breeding programmes.
