Debbie, I'm so sorry that this breeder has upset you and made you feel foolish. I don't think you should feel foolish at all. You should be proud that you have your wonderful 5 cat family. You never know what might happen in the future.

When I went looking to adopt a cat at my local shelter, there was a Scottish Fold there that I thought was cute. I held him but he was very scared and not quite what I was looking for. I didn't even know what a Scottish Fold was back then. This was when I ended up adopting Storm. Last year a foster mom that I know had two Scottish Fold kittens in her home. So you never know, you may be able to still adopt a Scottish Fold from someone other than a breeder. {{{HUGS}}}
