All kittens are individually priced. The price includes the following: vet check, spay/neuter, 2 core vaccines, and TICA registration. They also have a 30 day veterinary insurance policy thru Trupanion.
WE DO NOT OFFER BREEDING RIGHTS
We believe you will find our prices to be reasonable and competitive with local breeders and are non-negotiable. All pet kittens will receive a thorough examination by our vet, receive a minimum of 2 vaccinations/deworming, will be spayed/neutered and ready for their new homes at approximately 13 weeks of age.
UPDATED PICS ARE SENT ON THE 1ST AND 15TH OF THE MONTH FOR CUSTOMERS WITH A DEPOSIT. WE CANNOT ACCOMODATE EXTRA PHOTO SESSIONS.
THANK YOU!
No kitten will be permitted to leave prior to 12 weeks. No exceptions.
For the health of our kittens, we do not allow home visits until the kitten is ready for pick-up.
We reserve the right to cancel the sale if we feel that it is not in the best interest of our kittens or our cattery.
Kittens are ready at approximately 12 to 13 weeks of age. Customers are provided with an estimated pick up date when a reservation is made. If a kitten is ready to go, we cannot hold a kitten beyond the pick-up date unless prior arrangements have been made. If a pick-up date is not scheduled by the time the kitten is 12 weeks old, we will assume you are no longer interested and the kitten will be made available to another family and the deposit is forfeited.
A non-refundable deposit of $300 reserves a kitten and is applied toward the purchase price. Please note that deposits are NON-REFUNDABLE in the event you change your mind or change of circumstances. Deposit can be paid by paypal (with $10 fee) to Ragdolls@bigcitydolls.com or Venmo (with $10 fee) to @kristi-pemberton or by personal check (no fee), please email to request address. Balance is due the day the kitten goes home and is payable with cash, cashier's check or money order.
No personal checks, Venmo or Paypal for final payment.
If you fail to schedule a pick-up date/time by the time the kitten is 12 weeks old, we will assume you no longer want him/her and the kitten will be placed back up for sale and deposit forfeited.
While we appreciate that you would like to visit and meet the kittens, please understand that we are a closed cattery and, for health reasons, visits are only granted for customers picking up their kittens. Our mamas thank you for your understanding.
IMPORTANT
WE NO LONGER ACCEPT ADVANCE DEPOSITS ON KITTENS. AVAILABLE KITTENS WILL BE POSTED TO THE AVAILABLE KITTENS PAGE AT APPROXIMATELY 8 to 10 WEEKS AT WHICH TIME THEY MAY BE RESERVED
All kittens will be sold with a contract. This is necessary to protect the buyer, the seller and most of all, the kitten.
A copy of our contract will be emailed upon request.
DELIVERY
Upon request, we can personally deliver a kitten up to within 250 miles (approx 4 hours) from Cincinnati. This service is available at a cost of $1.00 per mile. A price quote will be given in advance and is due and payable in cash when you receive your kitten. We cannot guarantee delivery for long-distance customers beyond a 250 mile radius at this time. We would be happy to meet you at Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky airport (CVG) with your kitten if you should wish to fly in to pick-up your kitten.
WE DO NOT SHIP BY CARGO!
ADDITIONAL INFO
Kitten pick-ups are by appointment only. No kitten will be able to leave our home without a carrier. We feed and recommend using Life's Abundance for adults and a blend of Life's Abundance mixed with Purina Pro Plan Kitten food for kittens.
CONTRACT
(This is not signed until the kitten is picked up)
This kitten’s litter has been registered with The International Cat Association (TICA). Transfer of Registration with TICA is not necessary for pet kittens but should buyer elect to do so, fees will be at buyer’s expense. TERMS OF SALE By signing this Agreement, Buyer and Seller agree to the following:
This cat/kitten is healthy to the best of Seller’s knowledge and is free from internal and external parasites. Please keep in mind that young kittens may show signs of stress when brought into a new environment which may include sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, diarrhea or constipation. These should resolve within a few days.
This kitten has a one year guarantee (from date of birth) against lethal genetic or congenital defects. If a lethal genetic or congenital defect presents itself within one year from date of birth, seller shall replace kitten (less spay/neuter/microchip fees and/or shipping/delivery charges, if applicable) upon being provided a necropsy/autopsy report (at buyer’s expense) from a licensed veterinarian stating the unquestionable genetic or congenital defect. No vet bills will be reimbursed by Seller. In the unfortunate event where a kitten passes away from a covered condition and the health guarantee must be exercised, the kitten will be replaced with a kitten of Seller’s choosing. The same sex and color/pattern will be substituted whenever possible, but is not guaranteed. Buyer must accept replacement kitten within 6 months. Alternatively, Buyer may elect to take a refund, less spay/neuter/microchip fee or shipping/delivery charges, if applicable.
Seller agrees to have completed all of the age-appropriate vaccinations and wormings. A copy of the cat/kitten’s health record will be given to Buyer at the time of kitten pick up. Seller acknowledges that cat/kitten has no known disease, illness, congenital or hereditary condition that adversely affects the health of the cat/kitten at the time of sale and has been released by Seller’s veterinarian as being in good health. Viruses, colds, upper respiratory infections (URI’s), parasites or bacterial infections are not covered under this guarantee as they may be contracted after leaving our cattery and are not a result of genetics or breeding. ALL VET BILLS ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER. This kitten was vaccinated with FVRCP modified live vaccines on ________________________________________. This kitten will need his final booster four weeks from the date of last vaccine. The FVRCP vaccine prevents against Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus and Panleukopenia. Kittens should only be vaccinated with “killed’ virus” or “modified live-virus” vaccines and not “live virus” vaccines. Ragdolls are sensitive to vaccines and BUYER AGREES THE KITTEN WILL NOT BE VACCINATED WITH A RABIES VACCINE AT THE SAME TIME AS ANY OTHER VACCINE AS DEATH MAY OCCUR. Seller does not warranty the cat/kitten from any adverse reactions against future vaccinations.
If sold as an unaltered pet, the Buyer agrees to have the kitten spayed or neutered prior to the kitten reaching 6 months of age. Seller will hold the TICA registration until proof of spay or neuter is provided. If Buyer does not provide proof of alteration prior to the kitten reaching 7 months of age, TICA registration will be destroyed and the health guarantee will be revoked. Breeding of a Big City Ragdoll without purchasing breeding rights is strictly prohibited. Seller may elect to proceed with legal action if it is discovered that Buyer is breeding a Big City Ragdoll. All legal proceedings will take place within County and State of Seller’s residence. ___________________
If you have a cat which you have adopted (whether it be a stray or from a pet store or shelter), please be aware that these cats can be carriers of corona viruses and/or feline leukemia – even if they show no symptoms. It is strongly suggested that your existing cats be tested and fully vaccinated prior to introducing them to a new kitten. A young kitten’s immune system has not fully developed, and viruses can be transmitted to your new kitten, possibly resulting in illness or death. Seller makes no guarantees as to personality, size, coat or eye color. Allergies are not covered under this Contract. If Buyer cannot keep the kitten/cat for any reason, no refund or replacement will be given. Seller will assist in helping to place the kitten/cat but under no circumstances can we take the kitten/cat back as we maintain a strict closed cattery and cannot re-introduce a cat/kitten back into our home once it has left due to the threat of exposure to viruses, parasites, fleas, etc. The health guarantee is not transferable. If the kitten is sold or given away, the health guarantee is void. Buyer agrees this kitten will be kept strictly indoors. Allowing your Big City Ragdoll kitten outdoors where it may be exposed to diseases, fleas, ticks and parasites, voids the health guarantee.
De-claw procedure of any kind is strongly discouraged and may result in other unwanted behaviors such as biting. Furthermore, declawing may cause arthritis. Declawing your Big City Ragdoll will void the health guarantee. Kittens have been using sisal rope scratching posts and a similar scratching post should be made available to discourage unwanted scratching of furniture, carpet, etc. This kitten has been weaned using Life’s Abundance (all life stages) dry food. We also feed Purina Pro Plan kitten formula. It is recommended that you feed the same or better quality food. This kitten has been litter box trained using Arm & Hammer Clump and SLIDE litter. It is recommended that you start off using the same litter to avoid any future litter box issues. Buyer and Seller’s signature below indicates full understanding, agreement and approval of the above terms and conditions:
If you are interested in adding one of our kittens to your family, please give us a call at 513-515-0129 or email: BigCityRagdolls@gmail.com
We feed Life Abundance All Life Stages food (in the orange bag). All kittens come home with a 2 lb trial bag.
