Bella came from a breeder.

Ripley came from a shelter.

Trevor was originally bought from a pet shop by my son's friend for his grandmother whose cat had just died. His grandmother wasn't ready for another cat so my son took him and brought him home to me. Trevor became my first cat, sort of accidentally.

Andy came from a yard sale. My mom's friend was having a yard sale and a neighbor walked over with Andy in her arms and asked if anyone wanted him. My mom said "my daughter will want him" and she came home and called me on the phone to come and get him.
