Many cat lovers look for specific breeds when selecting cats. When they do, most tend to go to a breeder.
But first, consider going through a rescue group or a local shelter. Shelters often have purebreds for adoption, and rescues often have foster purebreds that are awaiting furever homes. Most purebred rescues work closely with local shelters, and many rescue cats are straight from breeders. In addition to getting exactly the breed characteristics you’re looking for at a fraction of the cost, you’ll give a discarded cat a new lease on life. Rescue groups have no shortage of kittens, either. To find a breed’s rescue organization near you, google “[breed name] rescue” (example: Burmese rescue). You’ll save a life and get just the kind of cat you want. |
