"...I cannot understand why any consumer would support these awful practices and pay for it! These consumers are being ripped off and animals pay the ultimate price with suffering. There is NO SUCH THING as rescuing an animal from these irresponsible people by paying them to continue to allow often unhealthy and un-socialized animals to breed indiscriminately. Furthermore, if you have a problem with the pet, guess what, the pet is your problem now. We have experienced this whereby the purchaser attempted to contact the seller, and guess what, they have vanished. A good breeder expects you to return the pet to them and will have some kind of money-back or exchange guarantee. Please go to a shelter who will not charge you a thousand dollars to adopt a pet. If you really NEED a purebred, please find a reputable and registered breeder through the Cat Fancy or Kennel Club.”
