Yes, kittens can be purchased from out of state or even internationally. There are a few ways to receive a kitten from our cattery: you can either pick it up in person or arrange for transportation via shipping or a nanny service.

At Vengalicat Bengals, we love having buyers meet their kittens in person! To make the selection process easier for everyone, we offer a one-hour window for your scheduled Kitten Selection visit. During this time, you can: • Visit us in person to meet the kittens, • Have a FaceTime call with the kittens and us, or • Choose your kitten based on the pictures we provide. We understand that not everyone can visit us in person, so we’ve made sure there are flexible options to accommodate all buyers.

Health and Warranty Agreement 1. Veterinary Examination & Genetic Health: The breeder certifies that the cat has been examined by a licensed veterinarian and guarantees that there are no known genetic defects or health issues at the time of sale. The breeder does not guarantee the cat against any illnesses unknown at the time of sale. This health guarantee does not cover curable conditions. 2. Health Guarantee: The cat’s health is guaranteed for 72 business hours from the time it leaves the breeder’s possession. To activate the one-year health guarantee, the buyer must have the cat examined by a licensed veterinarian within this 72-hour window. The buyer must provide official documentation of the exam. A written letter or other reasonable documentation from the veterinarian is required. Failure to follow these steps will result in the buyer waiving all rights to a replacement cat. If the buyer is unable to have the cat examined within the 72-hour period, the health guarantee is nullified. 3. Veterinary Care: The buyer is responsible for providing immediate veterinary care if the cat shows any signs of illness or distress. Failure to do so will void the health guarantee. By signing this contract, the buyer agrees to allow the breeder to request documentation from the attending veterinarian. All veterinary fees are the buyer's responsibility. 4. Hereditary Defects: The cat is guaranteed against hereditary defects up to one year of age from its birthdate. If a hereditary defect occurs within this time frame, the buyer must have the cat examined by a certified veterinarian, and the defect must be documented. Upon proof of the defect, the breeder will replace the cat one time only with a comparable cat of equal quality and value. All shipping expenses from the date of sale are the buyer’s responsibility. 5. Return & Re-testing: If the cat is returned to the breeder, it will be re-tested. All veterinary bills related to the returned cat are the buyer’s responsibility. The breeder is not responsible for any charges incurred for the returned cat. 6. Death Due to Genetic Disease: If the cat dies within one year of age due to an inherited genetic disease (unknown at the time of sale), the cat will be replaced one time only. A necropsy must be performed by a licensed pathologist, and proof of cause of death must be provided. The replacement cat will be of comparable quality and value, subject to availability. All shipping and medical costs are the responsibility of the buyer. No refunds, discounts, or credits will be given. 7. Cosmetic Faults: This cat is not guaranteed against cosmetic faults, such as tail faults, lockets, color changes, or appearance issues. These do not indicate health problems. 8. Vaccination Policy: The breeder does not recommend the FIP, FeLV, or FIV vaccines. If the buyer administers these vaccines, the health guarantee will be voided. Vengalicat Bengals cats are tested and negative for FIV and FeLV. 9. Neglect or Abuse: Any neglect or abuse will void this guarantee. If the cat is found to be neglected or mistreated, the buyer must surrender the cat to the breeder at no cost. 10. Surrender of Cat: Should the buyer be unable to keep the cat for any reason, they must contact the breeder. No refunds or replacements will be offered. 11. Health Issues: The breeder strives to produce healthy kittens and encourages the buyer to inform them if any health issues arise. The breeder will do their best to assist and accommodate. 12. Responsibility for Other Pets: The seller is not responsible for any injury or illness caused to other pets due to exposure to the new cat. For the safety of the kitten, it should be kept separate from other animals for at least 1-2 weeks to adjust to its new environment, build immunity, and bond with its new human family. Slow introductions to other pets are recommended. By signing this contract, the buyer agrees to all terms and conditions outlined above.

Pricing Policy for Bengal Kittens The pricing of each Bengal kitten is determined based on factors such as the kitten's quality, color, generation, and pattern, all in accordance with the breed standard set by TICA. Please note that the price is not influenced by the kitten's gender or personality. 1.

Kittens will be classified as either pets or breeders depending on their evaluation. 5. Final Pricing: The final price for each kitten will be determined and negotiated on an individual basis with the prospective buyer. 6.

Waitlist and Reservation Process: • The deposit secures your place on the waitlist and grants you priority selection from available kittens.

You may wait for the kitten that best suits your preference. • Waiting List Policy: Clients on the waiting list must choose a kitten within one year of being added. If one or more kittens are offered during that time and the buyer declines each offer, the breeder reserves the right to remove the buyer from the waiting list. No refunds will be issued in this case. This policy ensures that we maintain a timely and efficient process for all potential buyers and helps us manage our waiting list effectively.

In such cases, the breeder will either offer a replacement kitten or provide a minor refund at their discretion. 4. Right to Refuse Sale: If, at any time during the purchase process, the breeder feels that the prospective buyer is not a suitable match for the kitten or the circumstances have changed, the breeder reserves the right to refuse the sale. In such a case, any money paid will be refunded, and this contract will be null and void. 5. Returning the Cat: The buyer may return the kitten to the breeder; however, no refund will be provided.

Buyer’s Responsibility for Fees: All fees related to the purchase, shipping, and any additional services, including medical costs and delivery fees, are the responsibility of the buyer. By proceeding with a deposit, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy. Please ensure that you are fully aware of these terms before making any payments. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Return Policy The buyer may return the cat to the breeder at any time; however, no refund will be provided. We understand that various circumstances may arise where the buyer is no longer able to care for a healthy animal. In such cases, the buyer must notify the breeder immediately. If the cat develops behavioral problems or health concerns, the following steps must be taken: 1. The cat should first be evaluated by a licensed veterinarian. 2. The veterinarian's recommendations should be followed. 3. Once the evaluation and recommendations are complete, the buyer must discuss the situation with the breeder. 4. Appropriate steps will be determined based on the breeder's suggestions before the cat can be returned to the breeder. This process ensures that the cat receives proper care and that any issues are addressed before considering a return.

“Under no circumstances will this cat/kitten be sold, leased, gifted, or given away to any pet store, breeder store, animal shelter, research laboratory, breeding mill, or similar facility.” This policy is of utmost importance, and it is prohibited to resell or give away your Bengal to any of these types of facilities. When you adopt a Bengal, you are adopting a forever friend. If, for any reason, you are no longer able to care for your Bengal, the buyer must notify the breeder immediately. Please be aware that no refund or replacement will be provided for the cat if it is returned. The breeder is committed to ensuring that the cat has a safe and loving home throughout its lifetime.

The cat/kitten is to be kept indoors only and will not be allowed to roam freely outside unless it is on a leash or in a special enclosure. Bengals should always be supervised outdoors to ensure their safety and well-being. If it is found that the cat is being neglected or mistreated, the buyer will be required to surrender the cat to the breeder at no cost to the breeder. This policy is in place to ensure the health, safety, and well-being of the cat throughout its life.

The purchaser agrees to never declaw or de-meow a kitten under any circumstances. Any health guarantees will be voided if this occurs. This cattery believes that such surgeries are inhumane and does not support or condone these practices. It is essential for the well-being of the cat that its natural physical traits are respected and maintained.

The buyer agrees not to post or publish any negative information about the cat, the breeder, or the breeder's possessions (Vengalicat) on the internet or through any other media. The buyer also agrees not to authorize anyone else to do so. Instead, the buyer commits to resolving any concerns or issues privately or through lawful means. If the breeder becomes aware of any content posted by the buyer that could negatively affect the breeder's reputation, the breeder will notify the buyer to remove the content. The buyer must remove such content immediately upon receiving the notice. "Negative information" includes, but is not limited to, any health issues the cat may have had or is experiencing, disputes between the buyer and the breeder, or any other negative business or personal information about the breeder or the cattery. The buyer agrees that the breeder owns the copyright to all information posted by the buyer regarding the breeder in any form of media. Notification of Issues: If there are any issues with the kitten, the buyer must immediately notify the breeder in writing via email. The buyer should make every effort to keep the breeder informed of any issues and work with the breeder to resolve them. The buyer agrees not to post negative comments in any public forum or file chargebacks or PayPal disputes as long as the breeder is honoring the terms and obligations outlined in the contract.

Sterilization and Breeding Terms 1. Pet Purchase and Sterilization Agreement: If the cat/kitten is purchased as a pet, it is agreed that the breeder will have the kitten sterilized (spayed or neutered) before the take-home date. If the cat is not sterilized before leaving the breeder's care, the buyer agrees to provide a veterinarian's certificate of spay or neuter by 6 months of age. The breeder reserves the right to contact the veterinarian clinic to verify sterilization. Failure to provide proof of spay or neuter is considered a breach of this contract, and the cat must be returned to the breeder at the buyer’s expense. The kitten will remain with the breeder no less than 12 weeks to ensure it is well-socialized, well-adjusted, and has received proper care. By this time, the kitten will be eating independently, using the litter box, and have had a health examination, vaccinations, and deworming/flea treatments. 2. Breeding Purposes Agreement: If the cat/kitten is sold for breeding purposes, the breeder guarantees that the cat is fertile unless infertility arises from poor male practices, injury, disease, or infection occurring after the purchase. The breeder guarantees that the cat will produce at least 2 viable kittens before the age of two years. If the cat is over two years of age and has been unsuccessfully bred three times to at least two different proven studs or queens, and a licensed and registered veterinarian confirms the cat is in excellent health but infertile, the breeder, at their discretion, will: • Take back ownership and possession of the cat, or • Replace the cat with one of equal value, or • Refund the difference between the purchase price and the breeder’s average pet price if the cat has been altered after notification to the breeder and with the breeder’s express written consent. The buyer is responsible for all transportation costs related to the return and replacement of the cat.

Shipping and Pick-up Policy 1. Shipping Costs: Shipping or transport costs are not included in the purchase price of the kitten and will require a separate fee. The shipping cost will fluctuate depending on the state or country the kitten is being shipped to. 2. Pick-up in Person: If the buyer chooses to pick up the kitten in person from the cattery, the remaining balance will be due at the time of pick-up or before the kitten leaves Vengalicat Cattery. Payment can be made via cash, Venmo, Zelle, or PayPal. 3. Payment Deadlines for Transport: For kittens that require transportation, all costs associated with the cat, including transport fees, must be paid no later than 10 weeks of age. This ensures that travel arrangements can be made promptly. For international shipping, final payment is due by the kitten’s 12-week mark. If full payment is not received by the stated deadlines, the sale will be nullified, and no monetary refunds will be provided. 4. Failure to Arrange Shipping or Pick-up: If the buyer refuses to pick up the kitten in person, does not accept shipment, or neglects to contact the breeder to make shipping arrangements within 1 week (7 days) of the agreed shipping or pick up date, the breeder reserves the right to charge a boarding fee of $20 per day. If the kitten is not picked up within the agreed-upon date or within 1 week of the "ready to go" date, the breeder reserves the right to forfeit all deposits and money paid towards the kitten. In such cases, the cat will become the sole possession of the breeder, and the breeder can either keep or sell the cat to another interested party. The buyer will waive all rights to the kitten, and no refund will be given. We encourage buyers to arrange transportation or pickup promptly to avoid any additional fees. Shipping Costs via Alaska Airlines Cargo (as of 12/2024): • Cargo Price: $450 • Health Certificate / Rabies Vaccine: $150 • Kennel: $100 • Total Shipping Cost: $700 (subject to minor fluctuations) Note: The purchase price of the kitten does not include fees for the health certificate, Rabies vaccinations, TICA certified pedigree, or shipping costs.

Sales and Ownership Policies 1. Buyer Responsibility: It is the buyer’s responsibility to check local city, state, and country regulations and/or laws regarding the ownership of Bengal cats. All sales are final, and no monetary refunds will be issued under any circumstances. 2. Reservation Process: A kitten is considered "available" until a non-refundable deposit is placed to "reserve" the kitten. Once the deposit is received, the kitten will be marked as reserved and no longer available for others. Once the contract is signed and the kitten is reserved, the buyer cannot change their mind regarding the sale. 3. Breeding Program: We may hold back up to 25% of our kittens for breeding purposes, with most of these being females. After the kittens are born, we will hold some under evaluation until 6-8 weeks of age to assess potential breeding quality, after which they will be offered to the pet waiting list. If we owe a replacement kitten to a buyer, we reserve the right to provide that replacement ahead of others on the waiting list. 4. Right to Refuse Sale: The seller reserves the right to refuse the sale of any kitten at any time prior to the kitten being placed in the buyer’s home. If the sale is refused, any money paid, including the deposit, will be refunded, and this contract will be null and void. Vengalicat Bengals also reserves the right to change our mind regarding the sale of any kitten at any time, even after a deposit has been received. If this occurs, the breeder may choose to keep the kitten for their own breeding program. In this case, the buyer can either wait for another kitten or receive a refund of the deposit. If the breeder feels the prospective buyer is no longer a fit for one of our kittens, the breeder has the option to cancel the sale and return any money paid, including the deposit. 5. Ownership of the Kitten: Vengalicat Bengals retains ownership of the kittens until they are in the possession of the buyer. 6. Breeder's Business Closure: In the event the breeder ceases to breed Bengal cats or goes out of business, all guarantees in the contract shall become null and void. However, the remainder of the contract will still remain in effect. 7. No Cash Refunds: There will be no cash refunds. All deposit and payment fees are non-refundable under any circumstances. 8. Allergic Reactions and Health Concerns: A refund will not be given if the buyer or any family member experiences a reaction to the cat, such as allergic reactions, asthma, rashes, hives, or any other health, social, or communication issues. It is strongly recommended that the buyer tests for allergies or reactions before committing to acquiring a Bengal kitten. 9. Development of Pet Quality Cats: The breeder will not be held responsible for how a pet-quality kitten develops in terms of health, temperament, or appearance once it leaves the cattery. 10. Re-homing and Return Policy: If, for any reason, the buyer is unable to keep the cat/kitten at any point in the future, the cat/kitten must be returned to Vengalicat Bengals cattery. The buyer does not have permission to sell, re-home, or give the cat away without first obtaining approval from the breeder.
