| 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. |

| 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) |

| 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 |

| It is only unethical unless a breeder is found with a good history, and willing to present any and all pedigrees involved with the cats. That being said, make sure they allow you to meet the parents and view the WHOLE property! |
| RusticRabbit |
| There are valid reasons to buy a bred cat and good breeders out there, but in most cases there is a cat that fits exactly what you want at a shelter near you. In addition, there are breed specific rescues if you are really attached to a breed. |
| RusticRabbit |
| It's very often unethical and you have to do a ton of research and know so many red flags. Breeders can be certified by good organizations and still be bad breeders. In addition, there are huge overpopulation issues with cats in shelters and thousands of cats and kittens are killed in shelters every day as a result. |

| Does anyone here have experience with purebred cats? Either buying one or breeding? |
