The Seller also warranties that the kitten is free of the feline leukemia virus (FeLV), feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), and the feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) at the time of purchase.
2. If the kitten described above dies within four years of the date of purchase due to a congenital or hereditary defect, the Seller will replace the cat with a cat or kitten of similar or better quality or refund of all or part of the purchase price, at the discretion of the Seller. To determine if the cat's death has been caused by a congenital or hereditary defect, the Seller must receive proof of the defect in the form of a complete autopsy report, completed by a licensed veterinarian and performed at the Buyer's expense. The Seller will make every attempt to replace the cat with a kitten of similar or better color, marking, and quality.
3. The Seller will have completed all of the age-appropriate vaccinations, worming, and neuter/spay (for kittens not purchased as breeders). A copy of the kitten's health record will be given to the buyer at the time of purchase. If the Buyer chooses to inoculate for feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), the warranty is invalidated.
