Breeders and cat fanciers are uniquely qualified to rehome the relatively few purebred cats
that enter shelters, and many work very hard to accomplish this, both as individual and
as club or group efforts.
The low incidence of purebreds entering shelters can be
attributed to the cat fancy’s dedication to good breeding principles, careful screening
of kitten purchasers, and to the principle that only the very best representatives of
breeds should be bred.
The vast majority of pedigreed kittens are either sold with a
neuter/spay agreement or sterilized before going to their new homes. Responsible breeders
involved with purebred rescue exercise the same exceptional care in rehoming rescued cats
that they do with placing their own kittens.
