Immunizations not requiring a veterinary license sometimes are given by Breeder/Seller. Breeder/Seller’s veterinarian gives 2nd distemper and rabies shots. Initial shots do not include the Feline Leukemia vaccine. Any new felines brought into our home are checked for Feline Leukemia upon arrival. Therefore, I don’t feel the need to test each feline that leaves in a new home. If Owner/Buyer specifies they want their feline tested, agrees to pay Breeder/Seller’s extra fee, Breeder/Seller’s veterinarian shall perform requested tests.
A minimum of two distemper immunizations will be given to each kitten prior to leaving depending on age. They shall be (FVRCP), a 3 in 1 shot which consists of Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis (FVR), Feline Calicivirus (FCV) and Feline Panleukopenia Virus (FPLV).
Page 4
Adult felines will be updated according to their current shot schedule before being placed.
Kittens: For the first year, a total of 3 distemper shots are recommended for optimal protection, at intervals no closer than every 3 to 4 weeks apart, beginning around 8 to 10 weeks old and 1 rabies shot at 3 months old (when and where mandatory).
Adults: A yearly distemper shot and every 3 years rabies boosters are recommended to maintain your feline’s health for the rest of its life.
Breeder/Seller doesn’t recommend feline be vaccinated for FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis) or Corona Virus at this time. Breeder/Seller believes this shot is dangerous and could kill your feline. Your feline will not be replaced if this happens as result of getting this shot. You will be acting negligent and in violation of this contract agreement. (see Exclusions and Amendments)
Some immunizations expose your feline to chemicals that can do more harm than good, while others can cause injection site sarcomas. If you decide to have shots administered that are unnecessary, against Breeder/Seller recommendation, regardless of your veterinarian recommendation, your feline could die, and it will not be replaced. Consult your Breeder/Seller first.

Diet and Feeding Recommendations
Kittens: Kittens from the age of weaning are fed ¼ – ½ of a 5.5 oz can each, of high quality pate wet food. (We feed Nulo, Halo or Orijen pate for example.) For the best results, kittens are to be fed this diet and amount for up to 1 year of age. Unless directed otherwise by Breeder/Seller or veterinarian. Kibble food may be added after kittens go home but is not necessary or recommended.
Adults: Between the ages of 1-7 years are fed a diet consisting primarily of a high quality pate wet adult food, ½ – ¾ 5.5 oz can every 12 hours, daily. Nulo, Halo or Orijen pate wet for example. Each cat requires different calorie intake based on activity, the advice of your Breeder/Seller or veterinarian is suggested maintaining ideal weight.
If you choose to feed something different than we do, we can make sure your feline is started out and fed according to your wishes before going home. You will be asked to provide the food you wish your feline to be fed.
