Petfinder is a great resource for someone wanting to rescue a cat. Sometimes, you can find a retired show cat who just wants a home full of love. This is an economical way to have a beautiful, pedigreed cat. Another way to find a pedigreed cat is to volunteer to do some legs of transports for the rescue organization for the breed of your choice. However, most cats are the "heinz 57" type. Just mixed breeds who have personalities, loves, and preferences in toys, who need a loving home more than anything else.
Dog trainers will tell you that the mixed breeds are the easiest to train and handle. The same is true for the mixed breed cats. While the pedigreed cat may be the envy of your friends, they come with documented health proclivities and behaviors. Siamese like to talk, Persians need careful grooming on a regular basis, and Maine Coons have immune disorders. So, no matter how you choose your cat, please keep in mind that each has their own needs. If you have never had one of these amazing animals before, start with a mixed breed pound cat. They are usually trained to the litter box, know how to give good cuddles, and just want out from behind bars. They are grateful to you and will give you lots of love and enjoyment for many years.
