Not-so-great show in CO.

Some breeders will ask for a nominal fee to cover the costs of spaying/neutering and/or update on shots. Unless you know the person well (like in this case) - breeders don't hand over "free" cats. If you put a price tag on them, people tend to take a little better care of them.

Think of the "Free Kittens" signs you see on the highway/neighborhoods/grocery stores - do you really think that every person that gets a free kitten will really take good care of it?

I actually said that exact same thing, when trying to persuade someone not to just give away their free puppies for Easter last year.

Thankfully, Star is over five years old, and already spayed, so I don't have to worry about spay fees. =D
