annoying friends getting a purebred

[moosmom]

It's sad that because someone will be paying a breeder big money for a purebred cat, rather than give a home to a Burmese rescue, another unwanted shelter kitty will die.

And the thing is that you are well to be concerned.
These are the kind of people who will get a kitten,and then get tired of the Kitten when she becomes a Cat,and ignore thier Pet.
Or worse try to make some money with her,by having her have Kittens.
I will pray for that Kitten.
Hank must have been the apple of someones eye,not hes a Porchie.

There's not much you can do if they have already decided on a purebred, just try and make sure they look after the kitten properly.

And Ragnar was a Pure Bred Maine Coon,and they got tired of brushing him,and let him out like an Alley Cat.
Thank God hes been rehomed.
Tomorrow is Operation Hank.and I pray that hes a sucess too.
I bet he'll look wonderful when hes cleaned up.

i think there will be a high chance of purebred burmese kittens there,because theres a burmese girl kitten living next door to them! my friends are thinking about getting a boy! my friend has done someresearch on the internet, i no that because she told me, but im still worried.

yea i also worry they might ignore it, because they want to get a chocolate burmese boy, and one of them lives next to meand myfriend said it was UGLY! and it looks exactly how her kitten would turn out!!

Purrsonally I Dont Think That There Are Ugly Cats.
But If They Breed These Cats,that Have No Papers Thier Kittens Will Be Worth No More Than Regular Cats.
And Any Ethical Breeder Is Not Going To Sell A Kitten For Back Yard Breeding,as It Cheapens The Line.
I Pray For These Cats.

yes, all cats are beautiful, yet myfriend thinks that she will love her kittywhen its older because she will have grown up with it,I wonder if she will think it was ugly even if she loved it topieces??!
