Bellspurr Health Guarantee
Bellspurr guarantees the genetic health of your kitten for one (1) year from the date you take your kitten home.
- Bellspurr is not your pet health insurance company. Once your kitten leaves Bellspurr, all routine and emergency veterinary expenses are the responsibility of the Buyer.
- The Buyer agrees to maintain active pet health insurance during the first year of ownership.
- If your kitten dies within the first year due to a covered hereditary or congenital genetic condition, and the Buyer has complied with all terms of this Agreement, including providing proper care and maintaining pet health insurance, Bellspurr will provide one replacement kitten of comparable quality.
- This guarantee does not apply if the kitten’s illness, injury, or death results from neglect, abuse, trauma, poisoning, failure to obtain timely veterinary care, or any other preventable cause.
- Bellspurr’s obligation under this Health Guarantee is limited to the replacement of the kitten. Bellspurr does not reimburse veterinary expenses, medications, diagnostic testing, emergency care, or any other medical costs.
The purpose of this Health Guarantee is to protect Buyers against hereditary genetic defects—not to serve as a substitute for pet health insurance.

Initial
Post-Pickup Veterinary Exam Requirement
- The purchaser agrees to have the kitten examined by a licensed veterinarian within 72 hours of pickup or delivery.
- A copy of the vet report must be emailed to lucyappel@bellspurr.com as confirmation.
- Failure to complete this initial exam voids the health guarantee provided by Bellspurr.
- If any health concerns are discovered, the purchaser must notify the seller immediately and provide documentation from the examining veterinarian.
- Bellspurr will not under any circumstances pay any vet bills.
Initial
Spay/Neuter Agreement
This kitten is sold as a pet only, with no breeding rights, and must be spayed or neutered.
Kittens go home intact. The spay or neuter surgery is done by your own veterinarian once your kitten is old enough.
How It Works With SpaySecure
- Bellspurr uses SpaySecure, a third-party spay/neuter compliance service, to manage this agreement.
- You will receive an email from SpaySecure with a sterilization agreement to review and sign electronically. It is separate from this contract.
- Your kitten must be spayed or neutered by 6 months of age or 6 pounds, whichever comes first.
- SpaySecure sends you reminders as the deadline approaches.
- After the surgery, upload proof (the vet invoice or a signed vet confirmation) through the SpaySecure portal. Bellspurr reviews and confirms it there. Do not email proof to Bellspurr.
- TICA registration papers and the 3-generation pedigree are released once proof of spay/neuter is confirmed.
- If proof is not submitted by the deadline, SpaySecure follows up with you directly. Failure to comply is a breach of this contract, and Bellspurr may pursue civil penalties of up to $10,000 in liquidated damages, enforceable in all U.S. states.
Initial
Treatment of Cat
The purchaser agrees that:
- Declawing is strictly prohibited.
- The cat may not live outdoors.
- No tattoos, piercings, or body modifications allowed.
- The kitten should initially be confined to a private room with toys, litter box, food, and human contact.
- Diet must not be changed abruptly.
Initial
Breed-Specific Considerations
Maine Coons are a unique breed with specific needs that require attentive care. By signing this agreement, the purchaser acknowledges the following:
Ear Maintenance
Maine Coons have large, tufted ears that can accumulate wax or buildup. We recommend checking the ears weekly. If you notice a crust, odor, or discharge, take your cat to the veterinarian. It’s not an emergency but may require treatment with prescription medication.
Regular Grooming
Maine Coons have long, dense coats that require combing several times per week to prevent matting, tangles, and hairballs. Neglecting coat care may cause discomfort, health issues, and can result in veterinary grooming fees.
High-Protein Diet Requirement
This breed grows slowly and reaches full size around 3 to 4 years of age. To support healthy development, a high-protein, grain-free kitten diet is strongly recommended until at least 12 months of age. Your kitten currently eats Royal Canin Mother and Baby cat formula, kibble and canned. Sudden changes in diet must be avoided.
Safe Indoor Environment
Maine Coons are friendly, curious, and highly social. This kitten must live indoors only. Open windows must have screens. Access to garages, balconies, attics, or other unsafe areas must be restricted.
Mental Stimulation & Play
Maine Coons are intelligent and thrive on interaction. The buyer agrees to provide regular playtime, vertical climbing options, toys, and human affection to prevent boredom and promote emotional well-being.
Size & Strength Considerations
As Maine Coons mature, their strength increases. The buyer is responsible for ensuring child safety, using sturdy scratching posts, and monitoring for destructive behaviors, especially in multi-pet households.
Initial
Relinquishment of Ownership of Cat or Permanent Transfer of Cat by Purchaser
If you cannot keep the kitten for any reason, you must contact Bellspurr first.
Under no circumstances may the cat be surrendered to a shelter, lab, or pet store.
Initial
Breach of Contract
Any violation of this agreement allows Bellspurr to reclaim the cat without refund. Legal ownership will revert to Bellspurr without due process if necessary.
There are no other conditions or guarantees, verbal or implied. No verbal deviations or additions are valid. No other warranties or guarantees are provided other than those specifically outlined in this Contract.
Initial
Additional Legal or Compliance Clauses
No Rehoming Without Consent
The kitten may not be resold, rehomed, or transferred without written permission from Bellspurr. This protects against unauthorized breeding, hoarding, or surrender to third parties.
Initial
Notification of Change in Contact Info
The buyer agrees to notify Bellspurr if their address, phone number, or email changes—especially during the kitten’s first year of life.
Initial
Lifetime Return Policy
If at any time the purchaser is unable to care for the cat, the kitten must be returned to Bellspurr or rehomed with written approval. There will be no refund, but the seller will assist in finding a suitable home.
Initial
No Use for Commercial Purposes
The kitten may not be used for commercial breeding, advertising, resale, rental, or entertainment purposes without explicit written consent.
Initial
Social Media & Non-Commercial Content Use
Buyer may feature the kitten in personal, lifestyle, or general-interest social media or video content (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, etc.) as long as such content does not:
- Present Bellspurr or its animals negatively or misleadingly
- Advertise or imply the kitten is for breeding or sale
- Promote competing catteries or breeding services
Normal, positive content such as “life with my Maine Coon,” travel vlogs, or general pet lifestyle videos is fully permitted.
Initial
Emergency Medical Treatment Obligation
In the event of an illness or injury, the purchaser agrees to seek timely veterinary care. Failure to do so may be considered neglect under local and state animal welfare laws.
Initial
Governing Law
This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Texas.
No verbal changes are valid—only what is written in this contract applies.
