Open Question: Kitten with Heart Murmur - Seller Vs Buyer responsibility?
Hi There,
I recently purchased a silver Bengal male kitten from a breeder. Today I took him to the vet for a well check to assess his health. The vet says he has a 1/6 murmur that probably will go away or become an innocent murmur. But there is the slight chance it turns into something more. The recommendation is to have him checked again at 5 months of age and then do an echocardiogram if still present.
My question is, what is the responsibility of the owner vs. the breeder in paying for the work if it needs to be done. I have a contract with the breeder stipulating that the cat is free of genetic defects, and if not, then I can return the cat for another or get a refund (minus deposit) with in 72 hours. Also, if the cat develops problems down the line due to genetics, then the breeder will supply a new cat.
I really like this cat (great markings and personality), so I’d rather keep the cat, but be protected in paying for an echocardiogram at 5 months if needed. I would like the opinion from people who know more about dealing with breeders than I do.
Thanks,
Nick
