At Robs Ragdoll Cats, we take immense pride in breeding healthy, happy, and well-socialized Ragdoll kittens. We are a dedicated breeder committed to producing Ragdolls with exceptional personalities, stunning coats, and vibrant blue eyes. Above all, we prioritize the health and well-being of our kittens, ensuring they are raised in a loving, nurturing environment.
Each purebred Ragdoll kitten from Robs Ragdoll Cats comes with an industry-leading 3-year genetic health guarantee , a testament to our commitment to quality and transparency. We DNA test all our breeding cats and stand firmly behind this extended health guarantee.
What We Guarantee
- Freedom from Infectious Diseases:
- Your kitten is guaranteed to be free of Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) at the time of purchase.
- The kitten will also be free of intestinal parasites and up-to-date on all age-appropriate vaccinations. A detailed health record will be provided to you upon purchase.
- Veterinary Examination Period:
- You will have 3 business days from the date of receiving your kitten to have it examined by a licensed veterinarian. It is highly recommended that you schedule this appointment in advance to ensure compliance.
- A dated copy of the veterinarian’s health assessment must be sent to [Your Cattery Name] within 10 days of receiving your kitten. Failure to comply with this requirement will void the health guarantee.
- Serious Illness or Deformity:
- If a licensed veterinarian determines that your kitten has a serious illness or deformity within the 10-day period, a written statement on the veterinarian’s official letterhead identifying the issue must be submitted to Robs Ragdoll Cats.
- Upon verification, we will offer a replacement kitten of similar quality. Shipping costs for the replacement kitten are the responsibility of the buyer.
- 3-Year Genetic Health Guarantee:
- If your kitten passes away within 3 years of purchase due to a hereditary or congenital defect, we will replace the kitten with one of equal value.
- To qualify, Robs Ragdoll Cats must receive proof of the defect in the form of a complete necropsy report completed by a licensed veterinarian. Costs associated with the necropsy are the responsibility of the buyer.
- After reviewing the findings, if it is determined that the death was due to a covered condition, a replacement kitten will be offered as soon as possible. A maximum of 4 replacement kittens will be provided. If the buyer declines all 4 offers, they forfeit their right to another kitten.
- Exclusions:
- This guarantee does not cover minor illnesses such as Upper Respiratory Infections (URIs), which can occur due to the stress of relocation. While every effort is made to ensure kittens are healthy at the time of shipping/delivery, URIs are not considered a breach of this guarantee.
- Robs Ragdoll Cats does not warranty against Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP). FIP results from a mutation of feline enteric coronavirus (FECV), and its development cannot be predicted or prevented. Additionally, vaccinating your kitten against FIP will void this guarantee due to potential false-positive test results.
Buyer Responsibilities
- Veterinary Care: Once the kitten leaves Robs Ragdoll Cats, you assume full responsibility for all veterinary-related expenses, including initial exams, vaccinations, medications, surgeries, lab tests, and any other associated costs. No medical care will be authorized or reimbursed by Robs Ragdoll Cats.
- Proper Care: Buyers agree to provide a safe, clean, and loving environment for the kitten. Neglect, abuse, or failure to follow proper care guidelines will void this guarantee.
Shipping and Initial Health Check
All kittens being shipped are vet-checked by a licensed veterinarian prior to departure and will receive a veterinary certificate of health , confirming they are in good health at the time of shipping. For the safety of your other pets, it is strongly recommended that you keep your new kitten isolated until cleared by your veterinarian.
Limitations of Liability
- No Cash Refunds: Under no circumstances will cash refunds be issued. The sole remedy under this guarantee is the replacement of the kitten with one of similar quality.
- Voiding the Guarantee: Failure to comply with the terms of this guarantee, including neglecting to have the kitten examined within the specified timeframe or evidence of mistreatment, releases Robs Ragdoll Cats from any liability regarding the kitten.
