animal shelters across the country give cats away for free or for small adoption fees, but people still find themselves paying stiff prices because they want a particular breed.
There is no arguing with taste, of course, and here’s a bit of advice if you want a particular breed but don’t want to pay a fortune: a cat that is purebred but, because of some minor variation in coat or eye color, isn’t “up to standard” can be bought at a discount. Such a cat is called “pet quality.” You can’t enter the cat in a cat show, but the cat will make a fine (and not-quite-so-expensive) pet, and you can still have the “brag factor” of owning a pedigreed pet with the particular look that you like.
