Pricing and Payment
No, the deposit is non-refundable if you change your mind after reserving a kitten. Here’s a summary of why this policy is in place:
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| 1. Reservation Commitment | The deposit secures your reservation for a specific kitten. Once a deposit is made, the kitten is marked as reserved, which means I stop considering other potential adopters for that kitten. |
| 2. Initial Costs Covered | The deposit helps cover initial costs associated with preparing the kitten for adoption, including veterinary care, vaccinations, and daily care. This is why the deposit is non-refundable. |
| 3. Impact of Change of Mind | If a reservation is canceled, it can delay the adoption process for that kitten and impact their ability to find a suitable home in a timely manner. The policy ensures commitment from both parties. |
| 4. Transfer Option | In some cases, the deposit can be transferred to another available kitten or future litter if you decide not to proceed with the original choice. This must be discussed in advance. |
| 5. Special Circumstances | In rare and exceptional cases, I’m open to discussing unique situations. However, the deposit is generally non-refundable as outlined in the adoption contract. |
