there's a catchy bumper sticker that reads, "don't breed or buy while shelter pets die" and I think that about sums it up for me. 
So many cats...
Isn't it great?

| If I was looking for a purebred/show cat, would look at breeders. If adopting a mix, would go to the shelters first, and local ads second.

| I agree with Ocimom, it truly depends on exactly what kind of cat you're looking for. You aren't going to be as likely to find purebreds in shelters - although you certainly can - but unless you specifically want a purebred, check with a shelter. Don't buy from a pet store, though - they tend to be too interested in the $$ and not at all interested in the health of their kitties. Good breeders do care about the kittens they breed and like to hear from you after you take the kitten home, including helping you solve any problems with your kitten. Shelters also may be very helpful, and shelter personnel like to hear about the cats they placed, especially as some of the shelter personnel may have fostered those cats.

| Our cats have come from different places...our first from a litter my inlaw's cat had...two or three which showed up on the doorstep and decided they lived with us...one from a used furniture store (she had been hanging around there, and they more or less said, "take her if you want"), one from the humane society, and one from a pet store, only because our old cat had recently passed away, and I knew my husband really, really wanted another cat, though he kept saying we didn't need one. But when I saw this kitty, I knew she was exactly his "type"...and proceeded to stage a scenario of "finding" her out in the field next door. He never knew where she came from until some 5 years later, when someone let it slip! LOL
