WAITING LIST
Prospective owners are encouraged to fill out a Kitten Application. You will be contacted either way, but IF approved a $200 non-refundable down payment will add you to our waiting list. When we have a kitten that fits your criteria we will contact you. At this time, you will generally have 48 hours to accept or decline the kitten. If you decline you will keep your place on the waiting list and be contacted again later when another kitten that fits your criteria is available OR you may request to be removed from our waiting list.
Our waiting list is contacted FIRST before kittens are offered to the public. We will go in the order that applications are accepted and based on the criteria that is available per the application.
Placing a down payment
After accepting a kitten we request to read, ask questions and sign our contract so we are on the same page. Once signed, a remaining $300 non-refundable down payment will be placed to reserve the pet kitten. A remaining $500 non-refundable down payment will be placed to hold a show/breeder quality kitten. The kitten cannot be offered or sold to anyone else and the price can not increase or decrease. If you decided you no longer want the kitten the down payment can be applied to another kitten.
Sierra NV Bengals reserves the right to cancel a deposit or sale at which time a full refund or a deposit transfer will be given. If the buyer cancels, the deposit can only be transferred to another kitten.
