At Harpies Shadow, the policies are part of the experience, not buried fine print. They reflect transparency, breed protection, and long-term support for kitten families.
A non-refundable reservation deposit is required to secure a kitten. The deposit removes the kitten from public availability and is applied toward the total purchase price.
The deposit is refundable only if the breeder is unable to fulfill the agreement.
All pet-quality kittens are spayed or neutered prior to placement. Companion kittens are not sold with breeding rights.
Kittens are examined by a licensed veterinarian, vaccinated according to age, dewormed, microchipped, and prepared according to the cattery's veterinary protocol.
A veterinary exam within 72 hours of arrival is strongly recommended.
Our kittens are placed in indoor-only homes for safety, longevity, and long-term stability.
If you are ever unable to keep your cat, we ask that you contact us first. We maintain a lifetime commitment to the kittens we raise.
All placements require a signed agreement covering the kitten, payment timeline, guarantees, and transfer terms.
Families may choose from three payment options: pay deposit, pay in full, or buy now, pay later through an approved third-party provider during final payment coordination.
Final payment is due prior to pickup or scheduled delivery.
Zelle and wire transfer remain available for approved no-fee payments.
Card payments include a 3% processing fee. Processing fees are non-refundable.
Buy now, pay later plans are managed by the payment provider and remain subject to third-party approval and terms.
The client materials specify written health guarantees, reservation terms, and buyer agreements for final paperwork. HCM is covered for 24 months, FIP for 36 months, and all other genetic conditions are covered for 12 months.
Those documents are part of the final placement paperwork and are summarized publicly here to keep expectations clear before reservation.
