Seller Recommendations
(1) The cat should not be surgically declawed nor undergo a
tendon-cutting procedure.
(2) The cat should be isolated from other pets for at least
one week for cat to acclimate to its new surroundings.
(3) Any changes to the cats diet should be made slowly as
sudden diet changes may result in episodes of diarrhea.
(4) It is recommended that your kitten have access to dry
food at all times and offered wet/canned cat food each evening.
(5) The cat should be given frequent and kind human attention,
providing this cat with a generous amount of play and exercise.
(6) The cat should not be caged with the exception of
short-term confinement if necessary.
(7) Avoid clumping litter for at least the first 6 months
of the kitten's life.  Kittens sometimes eat kitty litter
and if ingested, it is reported that the clumping types can
cause intestinal blockages.

Deletions or additions to this contract must be initialed
by both parties.  Aware that this Agreement of Sale is for
mutual benefit, we hereby affix our signatures.
