Hi gss! I'm from the Cleveland area also
One thing to know is that the Siamese rescue that Gaye listed is a foster home rescue, i.e. all cats are kept in a home environment, one VERY different from that of a shelter like the APL. The cats at the APL are kept in cages surrounded by other animals in a noisy environment. I'd hide under the bed too! Getting a cat from a Siamese rescue, you don't really have the guarantee that they are purebred, but if they look and act like a Meezer, what's the difference? plus, being cared for in a foster home, they will be able to give you an idea of their personality. And I know that their average adoption fee is around $150.00 which is a LOT less than you're going to pay for a purebred kitten.. also cats from the rescue come altered and vaccinated- no vet bills for awhile! Just something to think about
as you can tell I've looked into it
