What is a Cat / Kitten Bill of Sale?
A cat / kitten bill of sale is a document that acts as a receipt during the purchase of a feline. It includes the personal information of the buyer and seller so that they can contact one another after the sale if needed. Similarly, it contains a full description of the cat or kitten and the details on how the buyer paid the seller.
Once completed, the buyer and seller need to sign their names by hand or electronically. The buyer must keep a copy of the form as a way to prove their ownership.
