Expenses may include, but are not limited to: airline fees, a veterinary examination and state health certificate as required by an airline and an airline approved carrier. Delivery shall be made at a time and place agreeable to both parties. If the cat is being shipped by air and the airline will not accept live animals because of severe weather conditions at either the point of departure or arrival, delivery will be made as soon as clearance is received by the air carrier at a time agreeable to both parties.

Only after immediate return of the cat to the Seller, the Seller will replace the animal with one of similar quality (excluding shipping or delivery) if one is available.

Seller must view all licensed veterinary certified reports and all certified licensed pathologist autopsy reports. Guarantee is limited to replacement or purchase price refund and shall not cover veterinary fees or other extraordinary expenses. This guarantee is valid up to one year from purchase date.
