If you sell a kitten who caught an airborne illness (i.e., cold--Bordetella), would you have a problem with the buyer asking for you to cover the expenses incurred by him/her, knowing that the illness came from your cattery (and then affected the buyer's current cat)?
I've paid nearly $200 for a vet visit for my resident cat due to him catching the cold/ Bordetella from the kitten just brought home less than a month ago. (The money went for the check-up, bloodwork, x-rays and medication--all due to the vet's attempt to make sure there were no other issues causing my cat's vomiting.)
Tomorrow, I pick up more antibiotics for my adult and a two-week's course for the kitten.
What, if anything, should I ask for monetarily from the breeder? Paying for a purebred is a BIG expense for me; I didn't expect to shell out more than amount for the kitten's check-up and rabies vaccination.
Thank you,
Jenk
