Purchasing Information
What You Will Receive
We feed our kittens Royal Canin Baby Cat dry food and Wellness canned food. Our litter is Precious Cat. You will get samples of each in your babies “go home” goody bag. All these items can be found at pet stores & on-line.
Our cats and kittens are purebred and are TICA registered. Kittens usually become available at about 10-12 weeks of age, some are slower to mature and may need additional time. You will receive a TICA registration form after purchase and proof of spay or neuter has been sent back to us. All kittens come with a written health and genetic guarantee. Buyers will receive a health record with age-appropriate vaccinations and dewormings. Above all, you will get your pre-spoiled bundle of joy who’s ready for you to love!
Payments And Discounts
We love to place our kittens in homes together, so we give discounts when purchasing more than one kitten from us. We reserve the right to refuse the sale of our cats or kittens at any time or to anyone we feel is not the right home for one of our cats. Full payment is due on/before your kitten leaves our home, and we only accept cash on the day your kitten leaves in case you are picking up in person. Altering is required for kittens sold as pets. Kittens available as breeders come with full breeding rights. All kittens come with free showing rights.
Reserving And Wait List
Kittens are reserved on a “first come, first serve” basis for clients with deposits. A kitten can be chosen by photos and videos (upon request). We will do our best to send out an email notification announcing when kittens will be posted to the website. Please send us an email if you wish to be contacted when kittens are posted.
Deposits
Deposits are refundable, and also can be transferred to another available kitten or one of a future litter within 90 days of the deposit. If there is a situation that prevents you from completion of the purchase, a one time, new kitten selection will be allowed which must be made within 90 days after the deposit. There are No Cash or Credit Refunds – no exceptions. A deposit of $300 will reserve the kitten of your choice until he/she is ready to leave our home. Full payment is due on/before your kitten leaves our home, please note that we only accept cash on the day your kitten leaves in case you are picking up in person. If you’d like to reserve one of our beautiful kittens , please feel free to email us at : contact@elegantbluekitties.com
Our Contract
A contract will be provided with each kitten purchased. The contract is intended to protect the seller, buyer, and most importantly, the kittens. Our contract states that if there is a fatality due to a genetic illness during the two years, the illness must be proven by a licensed veterinarian and a necropsy report. A replacement kitten will be offered when one is available. Each kitten has an initial 72 hour return health guarantee. We must be contacted within 72 hours after leaving if there’s a serious medical concern, diagnosed by a licensed vet ; returning the kitten and replacement will be offered. We will not be held responsible for any medical expenses.
We discourage declawing of our kittens, but understand there can be problem situations. We recommend Soft Paws. Most owners realize they are not aggressive cats and if given the proper scratching furniture, they will not damage your home, and rarely react aggressively with their claws.
If you give your kitten the Feline Leukemia and/or FIP vaccines, all guarantees will be void. It is in our best interest to not have any health issues and we do our best to ensure a safe, healthy purchase. All buyers will be required to sign our legal contract before kittens leave our home. Please read our contract when purchasing a kitten from us.
Leaving Requirements
Please keep in mind when selecting and reserving kittens that all kittens need to be picked up/delivered within 24hours to a week after the posted leaving date (Unless special pickup/delivery date is requested). If you cannot pick up your kitten within that week, please reserve a kitten leaving at a later time. All times and days must be confirmed within a week of the leaving date. If a scheduled time and day for pick-up is not confirmed within 2 weeks of the leaving date, the kitten shall be advertised as available and he/she will no longer be considered reserved and deposits will not be refunded. Leaving dates are determined by readiness of the kitten. We never try to “push” our kittens out the door, but we have kept kittens for up to a month (sometimes longer) after they were ready to leave. During those times, we’re left unsure of whether the kitten is actually going to be picked up or delivered. We are not a kennel and cannot accommodate vacations or other events. We also do not want one kitten left all alone after the entire litter has moved on. This causes stress for the kitten, the mom, and all of us. The leaving date is based on age, ability, and required time for all preparation for leaving. If there is an unforeseen circumstance that arises which may cause a delay in picking your kitten up or requesting delivery, please contact us, we’re very easy to work with.
Delivery And Shipping
Although Picking Up Your Cat In Person At The Breeder Is Ideal, We Understand This Is Simply Not Practical For Everybody. To Accommodate Those Who Cannot Pick Up Their Kittens In Person, We Offer Two Travel Options:
