Cat owners, where did you get your cat?
Even though I'm a dog person, I'm thinking of getting a kitten.
Where is the best place to start looking? I want a purebred Russian Blue but only found 1 breeder in NY. Any information appreciated.

I got my from a shelter for abandoned animals. She had a happy life and lived for 18 and half years. The last years she was completely deaf though. When she started to get status epilepticus seizures I called a veterinarian who came to my apt (I did not want to take her on a "last trip") and put her to sleep.

Local Humane Society. As far as the specific breed you want do a search on google and go from there. |

Most of the Cats/Kittens I have had I found. I found 3 outside my house, I adopted one from a Shelter. The current Kitten I have was found in Red Hook at a Getty station by the BBT.

North Shore Animal league on Long Island. Please consider rescuing a shelter cat as opposed to buying a purebred. In the city, there is the ASPCA and other shelters.

Please consider your local Animal Care and Control Center run by the City, where they literally have many animals to choose from, especially kittens/cats. They have an office located in each borough and the fees are very reasonable.
Here is their website:
New York Animal Care & Control ( AC&C ) - the largest pet adoption organization in New York City. Dogs, cats, puppies, kittens and rabbits available for adoption in NYC, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx and Staten Island. |

My kitty passed away this year. But I got her ~18 years ago from the North Shore Animal League:
www.animalleague.org/
She was the sweetest!
We also had a dog from there when I was growing up who was also a doll. |

Two strays...that I kept for over a decade each.
But they are gone now, and I am too old to find shredded furniture CUTE anymore.

Found him on Marcy Ave. in East Williamsburg as a kitten 14 years ago. Now he's a snooty Westchester cat.
