When I bought my two Tonkinese from a breeder in the UK she told me that regardless of the circumstances she would gladly take back any of her cats that have been sold. She told me of two she had returned after 7 years (the owner couldn't take them when they moved country due to quarantine reagulations). I do not know if this is common practice amongst breeders but it was a nice attitude to hear!

This may not help with abandonment but at least the poor cats are abandoned at her place rather than on the side of a road.


BTW Spencer although Vulcans don't succumb to emotions I have met a few cats that would lead you to believe they have similar lineage to Spock & Tuvok(sp?), not to mention the average cats attitude to living long and prospering (and stacks of napping).
