Kumskaka Contract
Here at Kumskaka/Praylyne Maine coons, we try to keep our visitors and kitten
purchasers happy. But we have to make decisions sometimes that are hard. This is
NOT a business, but a small hobby.  Our cats/kittens are part of our family.  We run
everything in a Christian state of mind and try to keep all dealings ethical . So we have
decided to have this page for you to read our contract guidelines as well as notes about
what we do and what we don't do. Read this whole page before you buy a kitten from
us and you will understand everything going on. The following contract notes are for
North American pet buyers, that is all...
We at Kumskaka/Praylyne cattery make many promises and guarantees and this is a
basic list of what that provides. There can be differences on specific kittens but we
would make sure you read all contract changes before signing...

ALL cat and all kittens are guaranteed to be FeLV and FIV negative at time of purchase.
We do not vaccinate for these virus's however, that is an option for the purchaser to do.
The kitten will be vaccinated with the needed baby shots and have at least one vet visit
and clean bill of health from him. We will not allow the baby to leave us until we feel this
kitten is fully ready and mature enough to go to a new home. The age we determine for
each kitten is not to be negotiated . The average age for our Maine Coon babies is
12-16 weeks.

We NEVER give cash refunds. There are other options we can offer if we must, but
know from the first that we cannot offer cash refunds. So please be serious when you
pick your kitten. We WILL do whatever it takes to show you how to raise and adore
your bundle of fur.
Purchasers need to agree to many terms on a contract and here are the basics of what a
pet contract consists of
:

You will not declaw this cat or kitten. It is cruel and inhumane and these cats can be
trained.  So be ready to train...and for most it is easy and carefree.

You can never leave your Maine coon loose out doors. You may make an enclosed
structure for them, or take them out on harness/leash. But the world is full of too many
deadly and scary things and these cats cannot be turned loose into that world. These
Maine coons are born and raised indoors and trust their world indoors.

You will get your kitten neutered/spayed at appropriate age and we  give you to 8
months  to do so , and those who are not done, will be returned to breeder with no
financial compensation. This is not an option, it must be done. Neutered/spayed Maine
coons are like happy little children and have no reason to be 'bad'...as far as peeing or
howling or similar experiences. Cats suffering from hormones are not happy cats. The
'fixed' cats have almost no shedding year round also, which is so nice. [Maine coons
sold for breeding will have a complete separate contract and list of rules. ] If your kitten
is of good enough quality and has long enough pedigree, you may show your Maine
coon in your area shows and we will help you in this.

A $50 deposit is required to hold a kitten for you.   
Your deposit is not refunded if you change your mind.
Payments can be made toward a kitten till it is of age to leave, or you can pay in full
when you come to pick him/her up.

You  will be given 1 week after purchase (excl. Sundays and holidays) to have the kitten
you purchased visit your own vet. If your vet gives the same bill of health that ours did,
all is fine and well. If however, your vets finds an illness,
we will pay up to $100 toward your  med  costs .

Our kittens are started out on a raw meat mix. They are fed 3x a day on this and nothing
else.  They will still be used to a morning and evening raw meat meal here by the time
they leave us  and we hope you will continue it,
but if you choose not to, that is your option. We will no longer feed dry foods
to the babies. If you choose to feed dry to your Maine Coon kitten, it is your option but
be aware it will cause digestive upsets. We are not responsible for loose stools.
Once your kitten is used to dry foods, the digestive problems will stop, but it will be a
messy time to get them used to the dry.
Our links page has places you can buy the meat and/or mix.
We love our cats and we want you to also. Please email if you have
questions about any of this contract and we will respond quickly.
