Where do Pet Stores get the animals that they sell? And also, does anyone have details about how both Euthenasia-based shelters and neuter/release-based shelters work? Like, are most shelters non-profit organizations, or do they operate on money from the government, thru taxes or what? If anyone...
I assume that we're all cat lovers here. So I'm sure that all of our hearts break when we think of how many homeless and/or abused cats there are out there. What do you guys think may be a solution to so many homeless cats? Have you heard of the "Trap-Neuter-Return" Program? If so, any thoughts?
So as a past breeder, how do you feel about some people's negative views on breeding-focusing on the fact that breeding is taking away from potential homes for stray cats?
*Newbie question again*
Don't look down on me for seeming ignorant! *sulks*
But, what exactly is a purebred cat? A cat who's parents are of the same breed? And then on the other hand there's a cat who's parents are of different breeds? Which is more healthy? Someone said that breeding weeds out...
But how does breeding a cat benefit the cat species in general? Why is breeding a good thing? And cat shows were brought up- why are cat shows a good thing?
*Newbie who's asking questions*
I just wanted to know what the positives are to breeding cats? I want to know all the facts, and the side FOR breeding, from the breeders themselves, before I make up my own opinion about the subject. Any takers?
