Cat Purchase Refund Rights

Summary

Minnesotas Pet Lemon Law may offer remedies if a vet finds a health issue within 10 days of purchase from a licensed breeder. Since the heart murmur was discovered after one month, the law might not apply. You could argue the issue is congenital with a vets support. Consult a local attorney for further advice and provide all relevant paperwork.
