performance thereof.

whenever any animal is delivered to any veterinarian, dog kennel, pet-grooming
parlor, animal hospital, or any other animal care facility pursuant to any
written or oral agreement entered into after the effective date of this
section, and the owner of such animal does not pick up the animal within 14
calendar days after the day the animal was due to be picked up, that animal
shall be deemed to be abandoned. The person
into whose custody the animal was placed for care shall first try for a period
of not less than 10 days to find a new owner for the animal, and if unable to
place the animal with a new owner, shall thereafter humanely destroy the animal
so abandoned. If an animal so abandoned
was left with a veterinarian with a facility which has a veterinarian, and a
new owner cannot be found pursuant to this section, such veterinarian shall
humanely destroy the animal. OWNER agrees
to pay boarding fees of the animal deemed abandoned pursuant to Civil Code
section 1834.5 until such time as THE CAT HOUSE HOTEL is able to place
the animal with a new owner or said animal is humanely destroyed. Owner agrees to pay the statement for said
board and care fees within 15 days of the billing statement.
8. If any legal action is
brought to enforce the provisions of the agreement, the prevailing party shall
be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees. These fees, which may be set by the court in
the same action or in a separate action brought for that purpose, are in
addition to any other relief to which the prevailing party may be
entitled. The provision applies to the
entire agreement.
