CURRENTLY AVAIALABLE  KITTENS ARE PICTURED IN THE NURSERY

NOTHING IS MORE FRUSTRATING TO A BREEDER THAN TO RECEIVE AN INQUIRY SUCH AS THIS:
HOW MUCH IS THIS KITTEN?
NO NAME, NO LOCATION, NO INDICATION OF WHAT YOU WANT THE KITTEN FOR (PET PURPOSE OR BREEDING?). INQUIRIES SUCH AS THIS TYPICALLY DO NOT RECEIVE MUCH OF RESPONSE IF ANY AT ALL. IF A TENTATIVE ADOPTER CANNOT AT LEAST TAKE A MINIMUM AMOUNT OF TIME TO TELL ME WHO THEY ARE ETC., IT IS A PRETTY GOOD INDICATOR TO ME.

SPECIAL NOTE TO THOSE USING FREE EMAIL SERVICES SUCH AS YAHOO, HOTMAIL, GMAIL ETC
UNFORTUNATELY THERE ARE THOSE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT RUIN IT FOR OTHERS BY SENDING FALSE EMAIL INQUIRIES USING THE FREE EMAIL SERVICES
AVAILABLE. ONE CAN ONLY WONDER WHAT THESE PEOPLE GET OUT OF PLAYING SUCH CHILDISH GAMES?????? IF YOU ARE USING A FREE EMAIL SERVICE AND ARE MAKING A LEGITIMATE INQUIRY ABOUT A KITTEN/CAT YOU MUST PROVIDE A HOME CONTACT PHONE NUMBER (NOT A CELLULAR PHONE)  WE WILL NO LONGER RESPOND TO INQUIRIES USING FREE EMAIL SERVICES THAT DO NOT PROVIDE A  HOME PHONE NUMBER

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER PLACE A DEPOSIT WITH ANY BREEDER ADVERTISING
UNBORN KITTENS! WE HAVE HAD MANY EMAILS OVER THE YEARS FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE DONE JUST THAT AND AFTER A YEAR STILL NOT RECEIVED A KITTEN
AND HAVE NO HOPE OF RECEIVING THEIR DEPOSIT BACK!
NO REPUTABLE BREEDER WILL ACCEPT A DEPOSIT ON UNBORN LITTERS!

KITTENS ARE FULLY LITTER TRAINED AND EATING DRY KIBBLE AT THE TIME
OF RELEASE TO THEIR NEW HOMES. THEY WILL HAVE HAD AT MINIMUM THEIR
FIRST VACCINATIONS AND BEEN DEWORMED.

PET KITTENS IF NOT PRE-ALTERED ARE PLACED ON A STRICT SPAY/NEUTER AGREEMENT WHICH INCLUDES A SUBSTANTIAL PENALTY CLAUSE FOR NON-COMPLIANCE EVEN IF THE NEW OWNER DOES NOT WISH TO HAVE THE REGISTRATION PAPERS FOR THEIR NEW KITTEN. NO PAPERS WILL BE GIVEN UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES UNTIL VETERINARIAN CERTIFIED PROOF OF ALTERATION PERFORMED ( NO LATER THAN 3 MONTHS AFTER RECEIPT OF KITTEN AND/OR THE AGE OF 7 MONTHS WHICH EVER IS THE LESSER OF THE 2 ) HAS BEEN PROVIDED, THIS PROOF IS REQUIRED REGARDLESS AND MUST BE RECEIVED WITHIN 10 DAYS OF PROCEDURE BEING COMPLETED, NO EXCEPTIONS.

ALL KITTENS ARE PLACED WITH A CONTRACT WHICH FORBIDS THE KITTEN BE ALLOWED OUTDOORS UN-ATTENDED. WHEN  A KITTEN/CAT IS PLACED WITH A HEALTH GUARANTEE (SEE BELOW FOR EXCEPTIONS)  KITTEN/CAT  IS GUARANTEED AGAINST DEATH DUE TO GENETIC WEAKNESS  (LIFE THREATENING HERIDITARY ILLNESS) ONLY AND UNTIL THE KITTEN ATTAINS 1 YEAR OF AGE. VETERINARY CERTIFIED PROOF OF ILLNESS/CAUSE OF DEATH (APPROPRIATE TESTING, TREATMENTS PROVIDED AND/OR NECROPSY RESULTS) MUST BE PROVIDED PRIOR TO A REPLACEMENT BEING CONSIDEREDGUARANTEE IS LIMITED TO A REPLACEMENT ONLY OF LIKE QUALITY WHEN ONE BECOMES AVAILABLE. SHIPPING AND VETTING FEES OF THE REPLACEMENT ARE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE ADOPTER. HEALTH GUARANTEE DOES NOT INCLUDE MINOR NUISANCES SUCH AS  FLEAS, WORMS,  FUNGAS, MITES ETC.  AND IS VOID IF ADOPTER FAILS TO ADHERE TO THE 72 HOUR HEALTH CHECK REQUIREMENT.
THERE ARE NO CASH REFUNDS.

ON OCCASION KITTENS AND/OR ADULTS RETIRING FROM BREEDING  ARE PLACED  FREE OF CHARGE OR AT A REDUCED COST , IN THESE INSTANCES KITTENS/CATS ARE PLACED ON AN AS IS BASIS, NO HEALTH GUARANTEE AND NO REGISTRATION PAPERS ARE PROVIDED IN SUCH A CASE. NEW OWNERS TAKE FULL FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY AND ALL SPAY/NEUTER AND VET EXPENSES FROM THE MOMENT OF ADOPTION, ABSOLUTELY NO EXCEPTIONS
THERE ARE NO CASH REFUNDS.

I DO NOT FORBID DECLAWING BUT I DO STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST IT AND HEALTH GUARANTEE IS NULL AND VOID SHOULD THE NEW OWNER DECIDE TO HAVE THEIR KITTEN DECLAWED. HEALTH GUARANTEE IS ALSO NULL AND VOID IF FELKV, FIV OR FIP VACCINE IS GIVEN OR IF THE 72 HOUR HEALTH CHECK REQUIREMENT IS NOT MET.

NEW OWNERS AGREE TO HAVE THE KITTEN/CAT EXAMINED BY A VETERINARIAN WITHIN 72 HOURS OF ADOPTION AND NOTIFY KUDOS OF THE RESULTS OF THAT EXAMINATION, THEY FURTHER AGREE TO HAVE A VETERINARY EXAMINATION ON A YEARLY BASIS AND KEEP VACCINATIONS CURRENT.
NEW OWNERS AGREE TO TAKE FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL EXPENSES FOR THE KITTEN/CAT FROM THE MOMENT OF ADOPTION. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL KUDOS BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY VETERINARIAN FEES OR ANY OTHER EXPENSES INCURRED BY THE NEW OWNER AS A RESULT OF OR RELATED TO THE ADOPTION OF THE KITTEN/CAT. THERE ARE NO CASH REFUNDS.

IN MOST CASES KITTENS ARE RELEASED AT 12 WEEKS OF AGE, IF SHIPPING
OUTSIDE OF CANADA IS REQUIRED THE AGE OF RELEASE WILL BE AT LEAST 16 WEEKS TO ALLOW FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF RABIES VACCINATION AND PROPER DEVELOPEMENT TO ENDURE A POSSIBLY LENGTHY PLANE RIDE. 12 WEEKS IS THE EARLIEST THAT ANY KITTEN WILL LEAVE FOR IT'S NEW HOME, ABSOLUTELY NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS SO PLEASE DO NOT PUSH TO HAVE THE KITTEN EARLIER
SHIPPING EXPENSES ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PERSON(S) ADOPTING THE KITTEN AND WILL INCLUDE HEALTH CERTIFICATE, CRATE COST AND AIR TRANSPORT COSTS. WE WILL CALL AND GET A QUOTE FOR THE COST OF SHIPPING AT THE TIME OF AGREEMENT TO ADOPT AND SHIPPING EXPENSES WILL BE REQUIRED TO BE SENT PRIOR TO ACTUAL SHIPPING. IF  AT THE TIME OF ACTUAL SHIPMENT THE FLIGHT COST IS MORE THAN WHAT WE WERE ORIGINALLY QUOTED BY THE AIRLINE THE EXCESS WILL BE REQUIRED TO BE PAID BY THE ADOPTER PRIOR TO SHIPMENT OR IF POSSIBLE SHIPMENT WILL BE MADE ON A COLLECT BASIS WITH THE RECIPIENT/ADOPTER GUARANTEEING THE CHARGES WITH THEIR OWN CREDIT CARD INFORMATION. WE DO OUR BEST TO ENSURE THAT THE ADOPTER IS AWARE OF THE FULL COST IN THE CASE OF CATS/KITTENS BEING SHIPPED AT THE TIME OF ORIGINAL ADOPTION AND CANNOT TAKE ANY RESPOSIBLITY FOR AN INCREASE IN SHIPPING COSTS FROM WHAT WAS QUOTED TO US BY THE AIRLINES ORIGINALLY.

ALSO. PLEASE NOTE,  IN THE CASE OF SHIPPING IF THERE IS A DELAY DUE TO  WEATHER ISSUES OR OTHER REASONS REGARDING THE TIMING OF SHIPMENT THAT IS BEYOND KUDOS CONTROL, WE ACCEPT NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS AND IT WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED SUFFICIENT REASON FOR CANCELLATION OF THE ADOPTION. SHOULD A SHIPPING DELAY OCCUR FOR THIS REASON AND THE ADOPTER CHOOSES TO DECLINE THE KITTEN IT WILL BE CONSIDERED THE ADOPTER HAS ABANDONED THEIR NEW KITTEN AND  NO FEES WILL BE REFUNDED.

IN MOST CASES I DO NOT ALLOW KITTENS TO BE VIEWED IN PERSON UNTIL AFTER THEY HAVE HAD THEIR FIRST SET OF VACCINATIONS. THIS AT TIMES MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR A NEW POTENTIAL OWNER TO VIEW AND MAKE A CHOICE IN PERSON AS KITTENS ARE OFTEN SPOKEN FOR PRIOR TO THEIR FIRST VACCINATIONS, HOWEVER THIS IS FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE KITTENS. VIEWINGS ARE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY, UNEXPECTED AND UNPLANNED VISITS WILL NOT BE ENTERTAINED.

KUDOS DOES NOT PRE-RESERVE UNBORN KITTENS FROM FUTURE LITTERS AND WILL NOT TAKE A RESERVATION ON ANY KITTEN UNTIL AT LEAST 3 WEEKS OF AGE. ONCE RESERVED THE KITTEN WILL NO LONGER BE AVAILABLE TO OTHER PARTIES. A RESERVATION FEE OF 50% OF THE COST IS REQUIRED AT THE TIME OF RESERVATION AND IS NON REFUNDABLE, SO BE SURE OF YOUR CHOICE BEFORE PLACING A DEPOSIT. I WILL ALLOW RESERVATION FEES TO BE APPLIED TO A DIFFERENT KITTEN IN CERTAIN SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES AND ONLY WITHIN 30 DAYS OF ORIGINAL RESERVATION, THIS HOWEVER IS AT THE DESCRETION OF KUDOS AND WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO NOT EXTEND THIS COURTESY IF WE SO CHOOSE.

KITTENS WILL REMAIN AVAILABLE TO OTHER PARTIES UNTIL DEPOSIT IS RECEIVED.
WE USED TO ALLOW 10 DAYS FOR DEPOSITS TO ARRIVE BY MAIL AND HOLD KITTENS AS RESERVATION PENDING BUT DUE TO PAST ABUSE OF THIS WE  NO LONGER EXTEND THIS COURTESY. IN AN INSTANCE WHERE A DEPOSIT IS RECEIVED FROM MORE THAN ONE PARTY FOR A PARTICULAR KITTEN THE FIRST DEPOSIT WILL TAKE PRECEDENCE. DEPOSITS FOLLOWING THIS WILL EITHER BE RETURNED OR GIVEN THE OPTION TO APPLY THE DEPOSIT TO A DIFFERENT KITTEN.

KUDOS DOES NOT PROVIDE EXTENDED PAYMENT PLANS ON CATS/KITTENS! IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS READILY AVAILABLE TO COVER THE ADOPTION FEES AND ALL SHIPPING RELATED COSTS (WHERE APPLICABLE) BY THE TIME THE KITTEN IS 16 WEEKS OF AGE. IN THE CASE OF RETIRING ADULTS SPAY/NEUTER/VETTING COSTS ARE TO BE PAID UP FRONT.  DO NOT EXPECT KUDOS TO FINANCE OR CARRY THE COST OF IT FOR YOU. IN SUCH CASES CONTRACT WILL BE VOIDED AND ANY AND ALL  MONIES RECEIVED WILL BE RETAINED AS LIQUIDATION DAMAGES AND CAT/KITTEN WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE TO OTHER PARTIES. NO REFUND WILL BE GIVEN.

KUDOS RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REFUSE THE PLACEMENT OF ANY KITTEN/CAT LISTED AS AVAILABLE AT ANY TIME WITHOUT EXPLANATION.

BY CONTACTING KUDOS FOR A KITTEN OR CAT YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND, ACCEPT, AGREE TO ABIDE AND BE BOUND BY THE ABOVE TERMS.

IN THE CASE OF KITTENS BEING SHIPPED, WHERE THE CONTRACT HAS NOT BEEN SIGNED AHEAD OF TIME,  YOU AGREE TO SIGN & RETURN MY ADOPTION CONTRACT ALONG WITH A COPY OF THE 72 HEALTH CHECK REPORT FROM YOUR VET WITHIN 10 DAYS OF RECEIPT OF KITTEN. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RENDER THE HEALTH GUARANTEE PORTION ONLY NULL & VOID AND NO REGISTRATION PAPERS WILL BE AVAILABLE.
