Bird - have you looked on Facebook for people rehoming cats/animals in your area?

It's just a question to ask, is all. It's not a requirement by any means. The person's response can heavily indicate whether or not they are a mill, and your reasoning is perfectly reasonable. I doubt it'd raise red flags like someone who just says "no" would say.

Bird - My mother admired Siamese cats for years. Went to every cat show in the 5 state area. Talked to many breeders at the shows and visited their homes, before deciding on a kitten. Might want to do the same for whatever breed interests you.

that you can, although I would much prefer going to see the place as there’s a lot you CAN’T see via a FaceTime and a lot more you can see being their in person :) I personally wouldn’t buy an animal off someone who I believe I couldn’t go to the property and see the place. Whatever they could do at their property they can still do at the meeting point when giving the animal to you.

Similarly, yes: Sketti's foster parent was allowed to meet me beforehand and check my home to make sure I was telling the truth on my application. :)

Heartbeat Haven

And that is your right. Having worked at shelters, and even having adopted Sketti from one, they asked me several times if I wanted to check and clear his home of kitten mill status. So there are, indeed, some people out there who allow such things. At the very least, a breeder will still allow you to meet the parents.
BlackRose
02:11:56 Stella
That’s very true although if someone/people are selling animals the buyer should be allowed to check where they are living, their conditions and their parents. Just like some sellers would like to view where their animal is going to make sure it’s going to a good home!

Mills are awful but I care about my safety and my animals safety. I don't want someone random person on my property.
Versailles
02:08:21 Versa
True, but a dedicated breeder who is trying to help negate kitten mills being so prominent is more likely to allow you to check around for signs of a mill, as they're also grossed out by them.

Stray and colony kitties adopted off the streets are often inbred too, unfortunately. There are SO many feral cats in the world, and their colonies are so closely knit to keep outsiders out, that they become inbred. I don't think there is much avoiding it, but purebreds can have pedigrees presented.

I wouldn't mind adopting a shelter cat, but when I have looked not many will get along with a dog. Each person is in a different situation which is why I am looking into a purebred.

It is not all glitter and rainbows with every shelter, unfortunately. I cycled through a few before deciding on one to work at because some are very dishonest.

It also depends on the breed. Most purebreeding has inbreeding at some point in the line and it predisposes some breeds to health conditions. If you are set on it, then do research into breeds without as many issues
Hummingbird Meadows
01:56:24 Bird
I am a little paranoid though because I adopted a shelter cat and he ended up having all these health issues. I only had him a year. That's not to say that a pure bred won't have health issues, but if you go to a good breeder they probably won't.
RusticRabbit
01:54:56 
I don't think that's valid LOL, why does it matter what they did before? Like if you are in an area without overpopulation I can understand that. Those places do exist. But in areas where they are euthanizing countless cats and kittens? I think that's a very selfish viewpoint in that situation (which is most places)
RusticRabbit
01:53:00 
Yes, it takes a lot of legwork and knowledge to verify if a breeder is good or not. I almost always recommend adopting because you can find what you want and it's always a net good. One of my kitties is a rescue from an accidental pregnancy and she looked just like a ragdoll but she wasn't. In terms of aesthetics, you can find most (but not all) colors in shelters. I have done some kitten fostering and also done a lot of volunteer work in shelters.

eh some people just dont want a shelter animal with an unknown background and that is totally ok and valid

Sage whipped his head around to look at the man when he brought their food, and moved the appetizers out of the way so he could place the tray of food down on the table. He thanked the man and nodded when Claudia said they appreciated it, and then when the man waved goodbye he waved back slightly before turning back to the food and then Claudia. She could tell him what she was feeling if she wanted to...otherwise he wouldn't press the girl. He supposed feelings were complicated sometimes, and she could think them through before telling him if she wanted....he really didn't mind. She knew how he felt, so she could make those decisions for herself.

"Sage, I'm sorry. I just...I just don't know what to do with, them, my feelings." She didnt know if she should follow them or...hide them? Hiding them didn't seem like something she would try to do, at least not try. Claudia looked up a bit, picking at the food that was placed in front of her, and taking small bites. She took a sip of the drink that Mr.Lopex had offered them, it practically stung her throat, it was fizzy. It was the wine, it was actually not that bad once Claudia took a few sips of the drink. She sighed, and looked over at Sage, "I love you, I'm sorry if I'm being annoying.", Claudia took another sip.

Sage chuckled slightly at the girls comments and nodded. "feelings can be...complicated," he hummed. "You don't have to tell me right away, not while you're trying to figure them out." He reached over to peck the girl on the cheek quickly before going back to his meal. "Don't worry about it." He thought the wine was pretty good too...it was different because of the fizz, but it was definitely good.

Claudia smiled, looking over at Sage, "Thank you for understanding.". She continued to eat her food, the truffles were quite strong, but they went well with the meat. Looking around the dining area Claudia noticed quite a few young couples like them, she smiled and turned back to her food, and after a couple of bites, she rested her head on Sage's shoulder. "This is very filling, Im very tired love, I may stay down for just a bit more." Claudia paused and then groaned. She hadn't had her needle for a month yet, which would explain why she was feeling weird. Claudia chuckled under her breath and then shivered, "Boy its cold in here.", she cuddled closer to Sage.
*Your good :D

Sage smiled and nodded at the girl, and went back to eating for a while. It was comfortable, a nice little place, and while there was a buzz of conversation from the other people eating, it wasn't loud or anything. It was definitely a nice change from the tavern. He looked over at Claudia when she rested her head on his shoulder and spoke up. He nodded and then cocked his head slightly. "You don't look very good," he hummed, wrapping his arm around her to try and warm her a bit. "Why dont don't we go back to the room? We could cuddle up under some blankets and you can warm up," he suggested. He was a bit worried....he knew the girl needed certain things, since she was a vampire, but he didn't know how to get them to her. He didn't really know how to help her. He'd do what he could....but he wasn't sure if it would actually help or not.

Claudia nodded, giving a small smile to the boy, "That would be quite nice.". She stood up, turning to walk to their room. Once they both got there Claudia headed for her bag, pulling out a small needle. It really just pricked her finger, not the worst, but never comfortable. It weirded her out a bit that such a tiny thing could help her so much, and for a month. She had started taking it just a couple of months ago, and Claudia had gotten pretty used to it. After she was finished Claudia walked over to her bed, well really it was both Sage's and hers. She laid down, looking up at Sage smiling.

Sage walked back up to the room after Claudia, and sat down on the bed, confused for a moment before realizing what she was doing. She'd mentioned the needle before...it would make sense that she'd need to do it. He hadn't seen her use it anytime recently, so that was probably why she hadn't felt the greatest. Though...he was pretty curious about the tiny thing. "What's even in that," he asked. He wasn't weirded out or anything...he found it all very cool, really...he was just curious. He reached over to draw the blanket up and over them and scooted closer to Claudia so they could cuddle up and get her warm again.

"It's just stabilizer...very strong stabilizer." Claudia giggled as Sage moved closer to her. It was pretty annoying to take it each month, she wondered what would happen if she didn't take it. Her parents had mentioned it was to keep her from hurting anyone, but she didn't drink blood. That wasn't her type...but she wasn't interested in finding out anytime soon. She didn't want to hurt anyone, no, but again she didn't know what she could do to anyone. Claudia looked at Sage and smiled, he was warm...cozy, she liked cuddling with him, every time it seemed to calm her. Claudia put her arms on his shoulders, leaning in to kiss him.

Sage shrugged and nodded in response to the girl. It seemed odd how so little of something could keep the girl from doing ...whatever she'd do if she didn't take it. It was interesting, really. He gave the girl a smile and kissed her back happily when she leaned in. Part of him did wonder if instead of pricking herself all the time, she could just act like a vampire and drink a little blood. After all, she wouldn't need much if she wasn't a blood sucking vampire. But they all needed something that was in blood, no matter their type...so wouldn't that be easier and cheaper than the needles? He didn't particularly care, though he couldn't help but dimly want to know what it would feel like if she drank his blood. He wouldn't mind...but that wasn't something he was going to wonder about much. Especially not while she was kissing him. He wanted to think about the kiss, nothing else right then.

Claudia felt herself smiling as she slowly(But reluctantly) pulled away for a moment, she ran her nails gently along Sage's neck. Claudia gave a small sigh before kissing him again, she laughed in her head whenever she thought of when the two had first met. She didn't believe at all that he would have allowed her to kiss him, who could she blame though? After all, she had been a slightly suspicious girl, who was in the woods...alone, who wouldn't be a little...suspicious? Claudia continued kissing Sage, for as long as she could, not wanting to stop, but eventually she had to. She was out of breath when she pulled away, Sage made her very happy...she loved being around him.
