Kitten or Retired Cat? Retired breeder/show cats do make excellent pets, but it takes a bit of patience.

If you prefer to avoid the rambunciousness of a kitten, but still wish to find a cat that has all the exceptional characteristics that a specific breed has to offer, then an 'experienced' retiree may be a perfect match.

Sometimes breeders have many different reasons to part with one of their precious adult cat.
The reality is, most cats don’t want to be part of a large cat household, especially one with constant changes in membership and one with raging cat hormones.

A breeder who evaluates the personality of their retired stud or queen and realizes they’d be happier in a pet home with fewer cats and more human time is a good and responsible breeder.
A good breeder cares enough to take back, search for a new home, and ensure that the home is properly vetted and safe.
Most cats in a breeder household are a part of the family and are dearly loved.

The number one misconception about homing a retired breeding cat is “the breeder doesn't love the cat”. People simply don't understand that loving the cat is WHY most breeder rehome the cat! We love them enough to want the best for them.

Note: Retired breeding cats are not free ! Free or cheap is never good and good is never free or cheap.

Please discuss adoption fees directly with the breeders.
