About CONTRACTS
 It
is wise to ensure you have a signed contract from the breeder. The contract
should have at least the following:
1. The birth date, color, and parents of the kitten
2. The breeders health guarantee
2. A return policy
3. The immunization record of your kitten, plus future recommendations
for shots.
4. Recommendation of food and litter to use with your kitten
5. An altering agreement, if your kitten hasn't already been altered.
It is the usual practice for the breeder to hold the registration papers
on your kitten until proof of altering (spaying or neutering) has been
sent to the breeder. Your breeder will have the procedure outlined in
the contract.
Sometimes
breeders will have more things in the contracts than just the basics.
Make sure you read and understand the contract, and then abide by it,
to protect yourself, as well as the cat. If your vet should question the
advise given by the breeder, give him the name and telephone number of
the breeder, and she or he can explain the reasoning behind the recommendation.
Remember, the breeder knows the Ragdoll better than most vets know
the Ragdoll. The vets play a very important part in your cats life,
and we can't do without them. However, each breed of cat is a little different,
and your breeder will know the little things about the Ragdoll. Please
work with your breeder.
