will replace, one time only, this cat/kitten with another of equal value at the seller’s first opportunity.
This cat/kitten must be screened by a licensed board certified Veterinary Cardiologist before being
used as a breeder, to make the HCM guarantee valid. The health guarantee against HCM is null
and void if said cat/kitten has not been screened as stated above. Buyer understands that at no
time for any reason will there be a monetary refund of any kind.
3.) The cat/kitten cannot be returned after the guarantee period has expired. It is the responsibility
