Purchaser___________________________________________Date_______________
Seller______________________________________________Date________________
Lets review this fraudulent contract
#3] The buyer should not have to ask permission to sell, lease or give away her kittys she paid for in full.
b] It can be an option to ask the breeder if she wants to purchase cat back.
#5] If breeders want a kitten spay or neutered at 6 months old they should not sell their kittens until 3 months old and have them fixed before they leave to their new homes.
b] Adults should not be sold whole and breeders should have them fixed before they are sold. All at breeder's expense
#7] Buyer's should not have to pay an additional $25.00 for papers you have already purchased to get the litter registered as a whole.
b]And since the breeder already fixed the kittys BEFORE they left the breeder the buyer is entitled to get registration papers on demand.
#8 States 3 contradictory clauses:
1.It warranties cat to be in good health then it states in
2. Clause #15] there is no warranties at all, as to health, show quality, breeding potential, those to clauese are into total opposition with one another and considered to be double-talk
3. If you cant warranty show quality, why do you state on your site show potential and charge over $1,300.00 for it?
4.It states any illness after the 72 hour time line its the responsibility of buyer even if there is a latent F.I.P disease?
#9 It states about death of a kitten at 6 months old. First off an illness or defect, or disease does not usually surface until about 1 year and over, any reputable cat breeder in the industry knows this as a fact.b] Breeder should guarantee kittys/cats for 1-2 years.
c]Necropsie should be obtained from the buyer's own veterianarian's period!
#10]This clause is totally beyond belief & the most deceptive & fraudulent clause I have ever read or heard of. This clause keeps your money in your hands and your golden goose. But not anymore. Buyer's always have a dog or cat in their homes way before they purchase another pet. And what about if you have to go to the vet and you brought your dog/other pets there, that makes your contract null & void to the buyer?
a] This clause has Melanie Lowry all over it and gives you some idea of how she lives, feels & thinks and conducts her life and cat scam business deceiving buyers for years. Melanie Lowry is a desperate lady that resorts to desperate measures to obtain her livihood SHe makes her cats work for their a keep, to feed & support her life. That is a terribly sad fact & CFA does not know this? All CFA has to do is look how many litters she registers each month CFA is turning a blind eye. Why? Because Lollimops is supporting CFA to stay in business folks, one hand washes the other.
#12 Buyer's should be able to either return a kittys if it does not suit them in their household [non compatability among family members]
a]get a total refund if buyer does return cat
b]Buyer who places a good faith deposit and something falls through example: buyer got another kitty or changed her mind, buyer should get returned 100% of their good faith deposit back without any problems from any breeder.
#15 In total contradiction with clause #8 [Read it] Its total double talk
#16 This clause sounds like the breeder can not wait to get this kitten off their hands, and wants nothing more to do with its care or responsiblity of this kitten. What about if buyer calls to find out or ask questions concerning the care of kitten? That clause gives you an insight into the mentality of the breeder, a window into her heart and motives of why she is breeding to begin with..its for the MONEY..
Do not EVER sign, agree or approve towards any kind of stipulations involving this kind of fraudulent contract from Melanie Lowry of LolliMops Himalayans & persians or any other pedgree cat breeder.
