MIAKIRA KITTEN CONTRACT

My kittens are reared as part of the family and will be used to children and dogs by the time they are sold. All kittens are fully vaccinated against Feline Enteritis and Cat flu by a registered vet. All kittens come with 6 weeks free kitten insurance  and a kitten starter pack (food, coupon, toys, litter, bowl, food canister, kitten guide etc). 

Matings from FELV, FIV & FAB PKD tested NEGATIVE parents.

All my kittens are sold with a contract stating the purpose the kitten was bought for

(i.e. pet, showing or breeding), 

"Show" means that I believe the kitten, once it reaches adulthood, is expected to be able to achieve at the very least a title of  Champion or as with new breeds into the UK such as Siberians, it is expected to obtain Merits at a GCCF show

"Pet Quality" means that, while the kitten is a pure-bred, I believe that the kitten is not suitable for show competition against other pure-bred kittens for one or more reasons. These may include such things  as  size or physical features such as ears, tail, chest width etc., and other subjective, cosmetic features, measured against the standards of points  adopted by the GCCF, Tica or Fife. Pet quality does not mean that the kitten is unhealthy, but merely that I do not believe that it is suitable for showing or I do not wish this kitten to be used in a breeding program. Pet kittens will be registered as non-active (no progeny to be registered) and must be neutered at a suitable age.  Registration pedigree papers will be withheld until proof of neutering is received by me signed by your vet.

"Breeding" means that I believe the kitten, once it reaches adulthood will enhance and improve the breed.  I reserve the right to refuse without explanation any kitten suitable for breeding. 

I do not sell to pet shops nor breeders who intend to use the kitten merely for monetary gain.  Each and every MIAKIRA kitten born is very special to me. I have been very privileged to have participated in the arrival of the kitten (usually in the middle of the night) and worried over the  mother  and then watched over them each and every day. I socialise my kittens from day 1 and the saddest day for me is the day they leave me.  I love all my cats and once you have visited my home and chosen to care for a MIAKIRA kitten do not be offended if I then ask you lots of questions.  I will need to know this kitten will belong to  you and that you will care for it and love it all the days of it's life.  If  for any reason in the future you are unable to care for this cat I would like the new owner to promises to offer the cat back to me should it ever need re-homing. 

I am happy to advise on any aspects of cat care to my kitten buyers.  Under certain circumstances a full purchase cost refund may be given.   Where practical I prefer prospective buyers to come and meet the kitten first although this is of course not always possible.  If you already own a cat please let me know as I may be unable to permit a home visit while I have unvacinated young kittens or a Pregnant Queen. 

Kitten Feeding Guide

Kittens should be fed kitten tinned or pouches, fresh food (chicken, fish etc) as part of a balanced diet with quality kitten dry cat food from a reputable manufacturer e.g Royal Canin or  James Wellbeloved and left down at all times to graze on.  Plenty of fresh clean water must be provided with the dry food.

Your reward for feeding your kitten a well-balanced diet is a healthy beautiful adult cat

Settling In

On arrival home with your new kitten, place the kitten while still in the carrier in a suitable warm room where the kitten can be safely kept for a few days. Let the kitten come out to explore in it's own time. Make sure there is a litter tray in the room and that the kitten knows exactly where it is. The kitten's room should also have a bowl of food and water kept a suitable distance from the litter tray.

Staying in Touch

I would appreciate if people who have purchased their kittens from me would keep in touch.  Send photos and anecdotes as although the kitten has let my household it has not left my heart.

Let me know if there are serious health problems that develop as although I have been  very diligent in planning the breeding, an unforeseen condition could develop and I would appreciate knowing so the breeding is not repeated with that particular genetic combination.
