By purchasing a kitten from Cattuna Cattery, the buyer agrees to all terms set forth in this document. The buyer accepts full responsibility for the care, housing, diet, and welfare of the cat.
The deposit reserves the kitten identified in this agreement for the purchaser. Once the deposit is received and accepted, it will be credited toward the total purchase price.
If the purchaser changes their mind, cannot proceed, requests to cancel, fails to pay the balance by the agreed due date, or otherwise does not complete the purchase for a reason not caused by Cattuna Cattery, the deposit is non-refundable. The purchaser acknowledges that the deposit compensates Cattuna Cattery for reserving the kitten, administration, communication, preparation, and the loss of other genuine enquiries.
The deposit applies only to the kitten identified above. The purchaser may not transfer the deposit to another kitten, litter, person, or future season without the prior written agreement of Cattuna Cattery. Any approved transfer must be confirmed in writing.
If Cattuna Cattery cannot provide the agreed kitten, including because the kitten does not pass its veterinary health assessment or because of another welfare-related concern, the deposit remains non-refundable. A similar kitten within a similar price range will be offered as a replacement if and when possible. If no suitable replacement is currently available, the purchaser will be placed at the front of the line for future kitten choices. No cash refund will be provided.
The remaining balance must be paid in cleared funds by the due date agreed above. The kitten will not be released or transported until all amounts due have been paid and all required Cattuna Cattery agreements have been completed. Transport or delivery arrangements and costs will be confirmed separately in writing.
Cattuna Cattery will not tolerate bullying, threats, harassment, abusive language, intimidation, aggressive behaviour, or persistent rudeness at any time, whether by telephone, text message, email, social media, or in person. If Cattuna Cattery reasonably determines that this conduct has occurred, it may immediately end communication and cancel the arrangement. In that situation, the purchaser's deposit will remain non-refundable to the fullest extent permitted by law and may be retained toward Cattuna Cattery's reasonable administration, care, re-advertising, and other losses arising from the cancelled arrangement.
Any change to this agreement must be agreed in writing by both parties. Messages or emails accepted by both parties may be used as written confirmation.
Nothing in this agreement excludes, restricts, or modifies any right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law or other applicable law.
This agreement is governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia.
Every Cattuna Cattery kitten leaves us already vet-checked, vaccinated, and DNA tested through their parents, with a full health certificate provided at the time of sale. We're always happy to answer any questions about your kitten's health, before or after they come home.
The buyer agrees that the cat will be kept strictly indoors, or allowed outdoors only in a secure enclosure (catio) or on a harness and leash under direct supervision. Under no circumstances is the cat to be allowed to roam freely outdoors.
Desexing timing is guided by our vet's recommended weight benchmarks rather than a fixed age. Some kittens are desexed before leaving us; others go home under a signed desexing contract, with desexing to follow once they reach the appropriate weight. If a desexing contract isn't signed, the deposit is forfeited. We're happy to talk through what applies to your kitten during your initial phone call and FaceTime.
If your circumstances change and you're no longer able to care for your cat, please contact us first. We're always happy to help by asking around our network for a suitable new home. Cats must never be surrendered to a shelter, pound, or rescue organisation, or sold or given away, without letting us know first. Finding a responsible new home remains the owner's responsibility, but we're glad to support that process wherever we can.
