I am just thinking of all the good that could be done with that kind of money.

I wouldn't spend thousands of dollars/pounds adopting a pet whilst so many cats die in shelters or wander my neighbourhood homeless.

IMO $2000 could fund rescue/rehome of dozens of cats.

I am not anti-breeders, if they are properly trained in genetics etc of their choose breed etc.

But I wish more people (not PT people) would look at rescue animals first. If they can't find what they want fine - go to the breeders.
