This is the receipt for the sale of 200/deposit and 400 paid in full for the CFA registered  persian kitten/maine coon which will make it paid in full.  This kitten appears to the breeder as healthy.  Margaret Mae Heart gives a limited year warranty against heredity defects.  If within one year from the date of delivery, the above kitten is diagnosed by buyer's vet as having a deliberation heredity defect that is in his/her opinion prevents the above kitten from serving buyer as a companion pet, seller will provide to buyer another kitten of the same cost and breed.  Although seller will put forth great effort to replace the exact color/pattern of the kitten, seller is not obligated to do so.

 

If the kitten dies within a year of purchase due to heredity or congenital defect, seller will replace the kitten when proof of the defect in the form of a complete autopsy (necropsy) report from a licensed veterinarian pathologist in addition to appropriate blood work is received by seller.  Buyer is responsible for all vet related expenses once kitten is released from Margaret Mae Heart, this includes initial visits, office visits, lab tests, vaccinations, medications, surgery or time off work, either by initial visits or for future visits.  No medical care is authorized or will be paid by Margaret Mae Heart.  Seller has the right to contest to vet findings.  If shipping is required, buyer must pay for shipping of the replacement kitten.  There are NO REFUNDS, only replacement of kittens.  Shipping money is nonrefundable.  Any boarding fees as a result of airline delays will be paid by the buyer.

 

Margaret Mae Heart guarantees that the kitten named above is free of the feline leukemia viris (FELV) and the feline immunodeficiency viris (FIV) at the time of purchase.  The kitten is also guaranteed to be free of intestinal parasites and up to date on all vaccinations.  A copy of kitten's health records will be given to the buyer at time of purchase.  In addition, Margaret Mae Heart cannot warrant this kitten against any adverse reactions to future vaccinations.

 

The buyer has three business days to have kitten examined by a licensed veterinarian.  You should preferably have a veterinarian appointment set up in advance before kitten arrives.  A dated copy of your veterinarian's health assessment must be received to Margaret Mae Heart within ten days of receiving your kitten or this warranty will be void.

 

This guarantee does not include buyer's change of mind, family disagreements, landlord rules, or allergies or any other complaints, also any minor nuisances such as fungus or upper respiratory infection can occur as the result of stress of being relaocated into a new home, and Margaret Mae Heart cannor guarantee that this will not occur.  However to the best of my knowledge, none of these are present at the time of shipping/deleivery.  In addition, all kittens being shipped, are vet checked by a licensed veterinarian and will receive a veterinary certificate of health before being shipped stating that they are in good health at the time of shipping.  For the safety of your pets, you should keep your new kitten in a separate area until checked by your veterinarian.  If you have children, I strongly recommend 100% supervision when handling this kitten.

Margaret Heart False complaints Norwich Kansas I am writing a nice letter when people do not know the circumstances. This woman and her husband wanted a kitten that was going to be shipped to Washington DC. FIrst of all, she and her husband did not have the money for the kitten. By the time she did, it was summer, and the plane did not ship. After two trips to pick up money from Norwich, Kansas to Wichita, kansas, they decided to change flight plans. The ad was from last year which is when I had some problems which is why I bought 12 maine coons from a breeder whose husband lost him job. I adopted out all of the kittens except for Duke and Duchess, the maine coons and Prince and Princess the persian and Himalayans. Her kitten was 200 which I paid for out of my pocket. Also there was another couple in Oklahoma who purchased two kittens from me which were 100 each and I resplaced them with two that I paid 200 each. This is old news so look at your dates carefully. Thank you for your consideration and cooperation in this matter. Most vets state keep them separated when you just get a new animal. Sinecerely, Margaret Mae Heart, Licensed Hobby Breeder, Licensed Substitute Teacher, Criminal Justice Professional PS The other thing she complained about was the health when they had a health record which you can not ship without one. The she said that it was six weeks old and you can not ship until eight weeks of age. I also spoke with the other two families which adopted out kittens from me this last weekend and they are both doing fine. One lady is Judith Booth and you have her address and phone number.

What about deceptive trade paractices or such. If you have all the proof, small claims is always an option as well.

she now claims on her emails she doesn't sell a kitten until it is 12 weeks, wish that had been true in our case as we received one of the kittens at the age of five weeks and he died after a week of all the love and medical care we gave he failed his poor little soul left us exactly seven days after he arrived he was sick and malnurished. Sad so very sad.

Finally received our two kittens,Margaret seems to be interested in the money only and not the health of the innocent animals. Ours came to us malnurished, flea infested and one with a parisite which killed the little guy who by the way according to my vet records was only 5 weeks young so pathetically sqrawny his poor body just couldn't handle it even with antibiotics and propernutrional supplimintations.We are still working to get the older kitten healthy. I do have documentation from the vet and all costs incured from the time of purchase to date.

we finally did get our kittens. we sent her additional money ontop of money for the airlines cost which she was to add to the flight additional airline difference in cost and send us the remainder which was 85.00 left over and to date she still has and refuses to send back to us. we had to take both kittens into see the vet I will give you the update on this later lets just say for now do be careful when buying animals you cant view in person...

Took both kittens into the vet they both are skinny, the younger is not the age i was told he is approximately 4 weeks infested with fleas has a toxic infection and undergoing antibiotic treatment. He has now passed away just too young to be without his mommy and very smallmuch too small vet was surprised the airlines allowed him to fly.We have try repeatedly to have Margaret give us back our 85.00 she refuses our emailes she said in the lastone she sent we were blocked. Too affraid to get another from her, but feel we should get our money back for the sickly kitten she sold to us. waiting for test results on the other kitten. crossing our fingers. by the way we had to force feed the baby kitten and he was also cold the vet said he was too small to maintain his temp. we tried everything but lost him. bless his little heart. how could she feel good about selling ill kittens?
