By purchasing a Maine Coon Kitten with Bright Borealis Maine Coon Cattery you agree to be bound by these terms, which you acknowledge that you have read and understood; and signed below. 
	•	Breeder guarantees that the cat being sold is a Pedigree Maine Coon cat. Cats are registered with the Cat Fancier’s Association and can be shown as show cats. 
	•	Delivery or pick up will be arranged once the kitten has Health Certificate from Certified Veterinarian. The kitten can go home after 12 weeks old at which time 2 sets of FVRCP vaccines, and the health certificate have all been done by the veterinarian. 12 weeks is the earliest and at times due to vet apts and needing to confirm the kitten is ready; the breeder may hold a kitten or litter longer to ensure a perfect kitten. 
	•	Deposits are Non-Refundable unless the breeder doesn’t deliver the kitten. Deposits are placed on a specific kitten and does not hold any kitten. Deposits are non transferable to kittens born outside of the reserved time frame/litter/kitten; and can be moved to another available kitten with breeder advisement within the same litter. 
	•	If the Buyer transfers cat/kitten to another owner, the Buyer agrees to let Seller know asap. 

Maine Coon Kittens [PETS]
	•	This cat or kitten is purchased for pet only [NO BREEDING RIGHTS]. Buyer agrees to spay/neuter the kitten before it reaches it’s six month bithday or up to a year depending on the cat’s puberty. The purchaser will receive the CFA registration after proof of spay/neuter has been provided to the breeder and as soon as the breeder and registry can send, typically within 30 days. In some instances, at her discretion, the breeder may choose to spay/neuter the kitten before it leaves the cattery.   

Maine Coon Kittens [FOR BREEDING]
Bright Borealis does not sell kittens available for breeding at this time, nor do we intend to. We are a Pet Maine Coon breeder providing loving and wonderful cats and protecting the breed. 
Health Check When Kitten Arrives Home
After 48 hours Breeder cannot be held accountable for FeLV, FIV, or any other bacterial and viral infections, infectious diseases, and parasites or fungus due to the fact that these can be contracted anywhere in the environment after leaving the cattery and are not a result of genetics or breeding. 
The Breeder guarantees that the kitten/cat is healthy to the best of his/her knowledge at the time the Buyer takes ownership of the kitten and has been certified by a vet for the state of NH. The buyer is advised to take this kitten/cat to a veterinarian for a complete health check within 30 days and schedule necessary future shots and care. 
HEALTH GUARANTEES
	•	Health is not guaranteed beyond the health certificate vet visit. Please contact me with any health issues and concerns to discuss on a case by case basis. However, each and every vet and family are different and I’ve seen far too many vets take advantage of owners that do not research or rush to the vet over every issue. The breeder is not responsible for covering any expenses.  
	•	The seller agrees to provide a New Hampshire Certified Veterinarian Health certificate for the kitten.
	•	It’s highly recommended for the Buyer to obtain pet insurance for their kitten/cat if caring for cat causes the owner anxiety. Often times we are able to research and assist cats with commons issues at home. 
	•	Please advise breeder of any concerns you may have; I may have knowledge or a solution or need to know. 

BUYER Responsibilities
	•	Buyer agrees to keep vaccinations and health checks up-to-date, to provide a clean environment for your kitten, to never allow this cat to roam freely outdoors, to never place this cat in a laboratory or pet shop, and to never declaw the cat.
	•	Purchasing a kitten from Bright Borealis makes you solely responsible for the health and well-being of the kitten from the day it arrives at home until the last day of its life. It is not the responsibility of the breeder to pay for any veterinarian expenses, treatments, or medicines that may be required to improve the life of your kitten or cat. While everything is done to ensure that we deliver a healthy and viable kitten/cat, there’s no way for us to predict the future health of any kitten or diseases not prior tested by the vet and Basepaws. It is a living animal and there’s always a risk that it may develop a health condition in the future.
	•	Purchaser understands that Maine Coons are predisposed to gingivitis and other gum diseases, and will be proactive in caring for the gums of the kitten and cat into adulthood by supplying healthy treats and tooth brushing.
	•	Kittens are currently fed Purina One Kitten and should have the food ready before they go home. I have chosen a food that is easy to find, easy to move from, and everyone here loves. We have not given the kittens anything other than this food and encourage you to build your relationship with them by adding in proteins or other choices you have researched little by little. My best advice is; the more you mess around with things the more things can go wrong. I have had all my animals live to ridiculous ages by this philosophy. If you should choose to change their food, please research and test the food first by adding in a little at a time. Maine Coons can have sour tummies or be perfect. All kittens leaving this cattery are leaving with perfect poops. Please research adding in different foods; raw; prebiotics, and more before trying new things. Research the effect of stress and anxiety and work for a mindful well being for your cat. 
	•	Buyer must acclimate kitten to new home. Start with the kitten in one room for a week or for what feels right and monitor as needed. Do not leave alone for long periods of time, they may cry and scream and this can damage their ppersonality. We have always chosen a bedroom of a calm person, a clean room that has been child proofed, and provided comfort and toys and companionship and been successful.  `

BREACH OF CONTRACT
	•	This sales agreement is non-transferable to other parties.
	•	Breeder reserves the right to cancel this contract at any time prior to the kitten leaving the cattery if the Breeder feels that it is in the best interest of the kitten and/or the Breeder. In that instance, the Buyer will be refunded 100% of their deposit.
	•	Should the kitten not be fixed within a year or proof not be shown; buyer will not receive pedigree.

REHOMING OF THE KITTEN OR CAT
	•	In the event the Breeder is asked to rehome the kitten for any reason, at any age, the breeder will happily oblige. The parties may agree that the kitten/cat will stay at the home of the Buyer until the Breeder has found another approved owner for the cat OR the Breeder may request that the cat be returned to her. The Buyer may be asked to deliver the kitten to the nearest airport. No refunds will be given to the Buyer in the event of rehoming.

By continuing, the Purchaser agrees to the terms of the contract with the Breeder and wants to finalize the reservation or purchase of the kitten.
