Great news, everyone!!
(Quick backgroud: one of our cats got a bad scratch on her eye about 3 weeks ago. Breeder took her to vets, got meds. Things are clearing up and the vet said she's looking good, though there might be a little cloudiness there. Worst case scenario is her depth perception might be a tad off, but the breeder has assured me she's been acting totally fine. We were feeling a little weird about what to do regarding cost/time/who's responsibility it would be, etc.)
I finally had to cross that uncomfortable line with our breeder to discuss what would happen if we bring our girl home and she has ongoing issues with her eye. Luckily, my guts were right, and our breeder has been wonderful!!
First, she said the vet gave her the OK to fly and checked her eye one last time. Some cloudiness, but that was expected. Everything else looks great! She also said that if our girl comes home and has more vet bills as a result of her eye, she would cover them no problem. Fantastic. We said it out loud and that's all I needed to settle my brain.
Then, we spoke more about it and she wanted to know if I would rather chose a new kitten from one of her next litters. This was surprising to me, and though very kind, we have our hearts set on our girl and nothing will change that. I don't care if she's blind and hairy, she's coming home with us!!
She replied and thanked us again for being so relaxed about it all (if she only knew what was going on in my brain!! ) and that most other customers would have freaked out. I can't believe how crazy some people get! Anyways, she said as a major thank you that we would keep our final payment (we've been paying for them in chunks since January.) I was thrilled and told her that if she was willing to let us keep the final payment (pretty substantial) then, in the off chance something is wrong, we would take over the vet costs from here.
I feel so good about everything!! I was so afraid that this wonderful, happy experience was going to be tarnished with stressful crap. Luckily, all is well and those babies are coming home Sunday!!! WOOHOOOOO!!!!!:Laugh::Laugh::Laugh:
These are our newest pictures from the breeder! I can't believe how red our boy is. How on earth am I going to keep myself sane for 4 more days?!?!?! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!
Also, we do have names chosen, but we don't want to jinx them. We want to see them face to face to know for sure.
