Health Guarantee

Below is our Health Guarantee for all Kittens and Cats Purchased from Holy Hills Maine Coons. We ask that you take the time to look over this guarantee and familiarize yourself with it prior to purchasing a kitten from us. We take the Health of all of our cats, both grown and kittens, seriously and do everything possible to ensure that we are providing Healthy, Happy and Safe Homes for all of our cats. We recognize that your kitten will be a part of your family, as all of our cats and kittens are to us, so we strive to only produce healthy, happy, and well-socialized kittens. ALL of our kittens are Guaranteed Full-Blooded, International Cat Association (TICA)- registered Maine Coon Cats. By signing this agreement upon pickup of your cat or kitten, you acknowledge that you have read this agreement and understand the terms outlined in this Health Guarantee. This Guarantee is to the original buyer only.

GUARANTEE OF GOOD HEALTH

We guarantee your cat or kitten to be in good health at the time of sale. We guarantee, upon the date of purchase, that your cat or kitten is current on all vaccinations and worming recommended for the cat’s age. You hereby agree to have your cat or kitten receive a wellness checkup from your Veterinarian at your expense within 72 hours of pickup of your cat or kitten. Your records of the initial checkup shall be kept in case of a question about the health of the cat or kitten.

HIP DYSPLASIA & ELBOW DYSPLASIA GUARANTEE

Hip Dysplasia & Elbow Dysplasia, and other joint problems have been attributed to be likely the result of environmental factors (50%) as well as a result of genetics (50%).  We cannot guarantee your cat or kitten’s hips or elbows against any form of dysplasia that is attributable to any non-genetic cause. WE DO GUARANTEE YOUR CAT OR KITTEN TO BE FREE FROM ANY GENETICALLY CAUSED HIP or ELBOW DYSPLASIA FOR A PERIOD UP TO 25 MONTHS OF AGE. We do not guarantee your car or kitten will obtain any particular (OFA) rating, as there are numerous environmental factors, such as diet, exercise, injury, or breeding, that would affect such a rating. If either Hip or Elbow Dysplasia is suspected in the cat or kitten in question, the owner must receive a preliminary OFA Exam on the hips or elbows before the age of 15 months. The results of the exam must be sent to us before the cat or kitten reaches the age of 18 months. The cat or kitten must then obtain a final OFA rating at 24 months. Your veterinarian must send us copies of the X-rays and the OFA report indicating either Hip or Elbow Dysplasia. The cat or kitten in question, if female, must have never been bred.

In the unlikely event that your cat or kitten is determined to suffer from either Hip or Elbow Dysplasia, we at Holy Hills Maine Coons agree to your choice of the following:

  • We agree to refund half your purchase price of the cat or kitten in question and permit you to keep your cat or kitten. In the event you choose to keep your cat or kitten, you shall be responsible for all diagnostic and veterinary charges for the care of your cat or kitten. The cat or kitten must be spayed or neutered at your cost to prevent breeding.
  • We agree to provide you with a replacement cat or kitten from a comparable litter and take the cat or kitten in question back from the purchaser. Holy Hills Maine Coons shall not be responsible for any transportation costs.

If it has been determined by the breeder or the breeder’s veterinarian that the cat or kitten in question has suffered from anything that affects the well-being of the cat or kitten, such as abuse, neglect, excessive weight gain, trauma, malnourishment, or breeding, then this Health Guarantee is null and void. We take great pride in producing exceptional Maine Coon Kittens and make every effort possible to ensure that they are healthy and free from any genetic defects.

When registering your cat or kitten with the TICA, the prefix HHL must appear before his/her name.
