Getting ready for a new aby kitten in Chicago-advice on vetsan...

Any advice would great! Ok, here it is. Retrieve your deposit from the breeder and use it to pay the adoption fee for two kittens from your local animal control (they can keep each other company while you are at work and will be a lot less destructive while in their "toddler" phase). Shelters are overflowing with cats and kittens and record numbers are being killed due to a warm winter induced population explosion and lack of homes for these kitties that are victims of human ignorance. Please don't contribute to the deaths of innocent cats by purchasing from a breeder who is unnecessarily adding to an already overpopulated world. Where I live right now all the rescues are full and can't take any more animals out of animal control, and still, every day animal control is flooded with more pregnant cats and kittens, which are KILLED because there is NOWHERE for them to go and NOBODY to save them. http://community.webtv.net/zuzu22/overpopulation Please...do the right and good thing and save some lives. You won't regret it.

I'm sorry, but I think you are going way overboard to accuse some one of getting a purebred cat of killing millions. And I'm sorry you seem to have so much trouble comprehending the written word. NOWHERE did I say getting a purebred will kill millions. Getting a purebred *will* result in the death of a homeless cat. It's all relative. Apparently you can't comprehend that either. So, am I killing millions if I only adopt one cat? What if I adopt from a no kill shelter? After all I could have adopted a cat that came from a kill shelter, I didn't really save a life by adopting from a no-kill. Where exactly do you think no-kill shelters get their cats? Most of the ones I know of get a lot, or the vast majority of them from kill shelters. If you adopt from a no-kill shelter, that frees up a space and they in turn can save another cat. Regardless, they are in the business of finding cats that are in need homes, not increasing the cat population.
