After transfer of kitten to the Buyer, all vaccination and veterinary costs are the responsibility of the Buyer. All kittens purchased at Scottish Kingdom Cattery must be sprayed or neutered when they reach a certain age: 4-6 months for females and 6-8 months for males. The kitten(s) will be registered with The International Cat Association. Pedigree paperwork will not be released to the Buyer until he or she provides certification from a licensed veterinarian showing that the kitten(s) has been neutered or sprayed. Spraying and neutering is required for the protection of the Scottish and British breeds. Should the Buyer fail to neuter or spray the kitten(s) within 8-10 months of birth, the Scottish Kingdom Cattery reserves the right to repossess the kitten without refund or reimbursement. Scottish Kingdom Cattery will provide notice to the Buyer, who is obligated to return the kitten(s) within 14 days of receiving notice.

By purchasing a kitten(s) from Scottish Kingdom Cattery, the Buyer agrees that said kitten(s) will never be declawed under any circumstances and conditions. Cats have claws which are an essential to feline’s lifestyle and character. When a kitten is declawed, the first joint of each toe is amputated. The pain from this procedure is present for months, and sometimes years. Cats are intelligent creatures, and there are educational alternatives, such as teaching them to use scratching posts, that can be learned. Firmly setting boundaries and rules, as well as redirecting undesirable behavior will train the cat to behave. Scottish Kingdom Cattery firmly believes declawing to be cruel, inhumane, and incapacitating for the cat. Such trauma will negatively impact your kitten’s disposition and personality.
