What kind of cat to get?

However, I've never seen any of the less common breeds show up at the
shelter
I'm involved with--just the very occasional Persian or Himalayan that looks
to
have come from a mill or byb. That's why if someone claims they got one of
the
less common breeds of cat from a shelter, I'm skeptical. Usually that cat
doesn't even actually resemble the breed it's supposed to be.

Apple-head Siamese (TICA registered), and a few CFA Himalayans and Persians
here. I think we get the Himmies & Persians because people don't realize how
much work their coat is. The only other breed in all the time I've been at the
shelter was a registered Devon Rex. His owner had died.
We don't ever claim any cat is a purebred, but the volunteers are pretty
shameless about name-dropping here & there..."Oh, he is Russian Blue". LOL.
Whatever works in those poor cats' favor I guess. So, like you said, people
probably *do* come away thinking they've got a purebred.

I've always wanted a Devon Rex


I don't know much about them, but he was a cute little thing. He was very
energetic and lively, too. Not sure if that's true of all of them, but he was a
live wire.
