We believe in breeding beautiful exotic looking, healthy cats with friendly, loving temperaments. Bengals are an active and social breed that requires attention to distract from unwanted behavior. They can also be very vocal. Please do your homework on this breed. Educate yourself on why health testing is so important. Educate yourself on why interaction with your new furry family member is so important. We are here to answer any questions you have during the pre and post purchasing experience. 


Health testing is an extremely important part of being a responsible breeder. We strive to breed the healthiest cats possible. We screen our cats for the following and do provide the client with copies of all test results. We offer one of the best health guarantees in the breed.


HCM Screening (Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy - Heart Disease)

PRA-b (Bengal Blindness)

PK Deficiency (Hemolytic Anemia)


Purrfect Dreams requires a non-fundable (but transferable) deposit of $300 to secure your place in line to pick a kitten. Kittens are sold on a first deposit first pick basis.

NuVet Plus Vitamins


****************Recommended for All Life stages***************** Kittens through Seniors**************

 

  •        NuVet Plus helps to fill the nutritional void that exists in virtually all pets. Even the highest quality cat foods are cooked, and as a result, the heat from cooking kills much of the nutrients. NuVet Plus is cold processed allowing the ingredient's rich nutrients to remain.
  •        NuVet Plus is a full spectrum immune system builder; not just a vitamin. It's filled with synergistic blend of anti-oxidants, amino acids, enzymes, vitamins, minerals and more designed to promote healthy cells and to help the pet's immune system at it’s peak. 
  •        NuVet Plus is natural; no artificial flavors, artificial fillers, artificial binders, or grains. This gives it superior absorption and utilization in the body, allowing the ingredients to be more effectively absorbed through the cellular walls. Healthy cells = healthy pets!
  •        NuVet Plus is manufactured in the USA in an FDA registered, human pharmaceutical laboratory; almost unheard of in the pet food or pet supplement industry. This assures the very highest quality, potency and purity. In other words, what you see on the label is what you actually get.
  •        Studies have shown that products manufactured with less controls, don't always provide what it says on the label.
  •        NuVet Plus ingredients are natural and human grade. So called "animal or feed grade" allows for a manufacturer to include by-products, chemicals, fillers and meats from dying or diseased animals; something NuVet Labs would never allow or condone.
  •        NuVet Plus is perfect for outwardly healthy cats. By keeping the immune system functioning at peak performance the pet is better equipped to stay healthy. For puppies and kittens, it helps to boost their still maturing immune system - critically important! Note: A pet that appears healthy may not be. Taking NuVet plus daily can help eliminate this potentially dangerous situation.
  •        NuVet Plus can help the animal deal with environmental conditions, including pollutants in the air, pesticides and more. The powerful antioxidants found in NuVet plus can help combat the free radicals resulting from the environment.
  •        NuVet Plus is safe! It's virtually 100% water soluble and food based, making it almost impossible for a pet to overdose. It's also safe to take with medications.
  •        NuVet Plus really works! We invite you to view the testimonials, found on our webpage www.nuvet.com 
  •        Peace of mind - NuVet Plus comes with a 60-day, 100% satisfaction guarantee or your money back! 


I highly recommend NuVet Plus to keep your kitten on the path to perfect health! It’s not available in stores, and is only available to the general public with an order code from an authorized pet professional. For your convenience, you may order directly from the manufacturer by calling 800-474-7044 and using Order Code: 41924, or ordering online at www.nuvet.com/41924.

Buyer shall return cat/kitten to seller at buyer’s expense. Upon its return, cat/kitten will be replaced with another cat/kitten of equal value as soon as a suitable replacement becomes available.

Veterinarian report must also include the microchip identification number, gender, color and pattern verification of the cat/kitten. Seller will not replace any cat/kitten that has not received adequate and appropriate care including medical care from buyer. Curable conditions or infections such as viruses, bacterial infections, skin rashes or Upper Respiratory Infections are not considered life threatening and therefore do not warrant a replacement.

2.    It is the responsibility of the buyer to pay for and to provide immediate veterinary care to any cat/kitten showing signs of illness or distress and failure to do so will render any guarantee null and void. 

3.    Under no circumstances is a kitten to be destroyed prior to notification by the buyer to the seller. Any cat/kitten for which the buyer expects a replacement must be returned to seller at the buyer’s expense so that the identity of the cat/kitten can be verified. 

4.    All veterinary costs and testing are the responsibility of the buyer once the cat/kitten has left Purrfect Dreams. There are insurance companies that offer pet policies. Purrfect Dreams provides information on a one-month complimentary program with Trupanion. It is the buyer’s responsibility to initiate any insurance policy or program.

CONTRACT TERMS: 


1.    The Buyer is responsible for all delivery and/or shipping costs. This includes return of the cat/kitten for any reason. This also includes re-exam and lab fees at seller’s veterinarian if the buyer returns the cat/kitten for any reason. 

2.    A deposit fee of $300.00 is required to hold a kitten for a buyer. The deposit is applied toward the owed balance of the purchase price. Deposits are non-refundable as we are holding the kitten and the chance to place the kitten in a home while she/he is still of desirable age is jeopardized if the buyer has a change of mind. Once a kitten is chosen it is the buyer’s responsibility to keep in touch with Purrfect Dreams at least once a week via email, text or voice call for updates on the kitten and to ensure buyer is still the best possible home. Four weeks of no contact without prior arrangements voids this entire contract and the cat/kitten will be made available. Buyer understands that there will be no refund of any money paid towards the cat/kitten.

3.    Buyer agrees that any legal action commenced by the buyer or seller as a result of this contract shall be held in a Will County, Illinois venue.
