Purchase Agreement

Starlight Starbright Cat Rescue Agrees to the Following:

1.     The Cat or Kitten is in overall good health with us before going to a new home. However, due to the manner in which Cats and Kittens come to care, we cannot always determine an animal’s past, or future health.

2.      The Cat or Kitten will be seen by our veterinarian (Brainerd Animal Hospital) with a full evaluation and a clean bill of health before going to new homes. They will be given all applicable vaccinations and any treatment needed.

3. The Cat or Kitten will be spayed or neutered before going to their new home.

4.      While our cats and kittens are in good health under our care, I cannot make a guarantee for their health after they leave our home. Once they leave our home, their health is your responsibility. We will offer a 72-hour health guarantee. If you feel like something is wrong with your new kitten you will need to take him or her to the veterinarian of your choice at your expense for evaluation. IF something is found to be wrong like a medically deficient, untreatable or life-threating problem in that first 72 hours you will need to provide us prompt notification with a detailed report from the veterinarian. We will then discuss our options with you going forward. Possible refund or replacement depending on the issue at hand.

5.      We will supply you with one bag of Purina Pro Plan Kitten Food. This is what we feed our cats and recommend. If you choose to use a different brand going forward, then we recommend that you mix the food we give you with your food of choice to help wean them over.

5.      We will supply one container of Cat Litter. We use Master Paws Brand from Menards (A basic scented litter). The cats and kittens are raised using this type of litter and will transition best in their new home by starting with this. I would suggest a slow introduction to a new type of litter by adding small amounts of the litter of your choice going forward.

6.      Kittens in our care have been raised in our home. They will be exposed our other cats and dogs. They will have been well loved and socialized by us and our kids since the time they arrive in our care.

7. Adult Cats in our care will be evaluated for health and temperament before being placed for adoption. They will also be well loved and socialized by us and our kids. They will also be around other cats and dogs while in our care.

8.      They will be used to other cats, dogs, and kids. However, I cannot make any guarantees about how other cats, dogs and kids will do with them. Please be cautious when introducing other kids and animals to the cat or kitten. Do not leave them unsupervised until you know how they get along.

9. We do not require but strongly recommend keeping the Cat or Kitten you adopt from us indoors for their health and safety. I have linked an article at the bottom discussing the pros and cons of outdoor cats.

 Buyer Agrees to:

1.      Deposit is non-refundable. Refund will only be available if the kitten ends up being not suitable for sale.

2.      All sales are final and no refunds will be provided unless the cat is deemed unfit by a licensed veterinary within 72 hours after purchase.

3.      This kitten is being purchased as a pet and will be provided a loving forever home with you. Buyer agrees to a lifelong commitment to the kitten. If due to unforeseen, unexpected reasons that you can no longer care for the kitten, the kitten will be returned to Rhea Schmitt: Owner of Starlight Starbright Cat Rescue.

4.      This kitten is sold as a pet only! This Cat or kitten will not be used for scientific experiments, bait in dog fights or any other forms of maltreatment or torture.

6.      The Cat or Kitten will not be declawed. We recommend weekly nail clippings and a scratching post to keep their claws under control.

7.      Buyer understands how to properly care for and provide a good home for the Cat or Kitten. Buyer will read the articles I’ve linked below for more knowledge about raising cats.

8.  Buyer will provide yearly checkups with their licensed veterinarian of choice. The buyer also agrees to provide prompt veterinary care for any issues that arise.

11.  Buyer will reach out to us if they have any questions or concerns going forward. We care about our Cats and Kittens very much and will always try make ourselves available during reasonable daytime hours to help out! Generally, between 8am and 8pm we strive to be available through messages or phone call.

12.  Ultimately our concern is the well-being and care of the cat or kitten. It is a living animal that deserves a stable, loving home and will be well cared for. I take this very seriously and expect the new owner to do the same.

Thank you for your consideration in purchasing a kitten from us!
