I’m considering buying an exotic shorthair kitten, but I’m not sure how breeders feel about selling their expensive kittens to a sophomore in college who lives in a studio apartment.
I have the money to reasonably take good care of this potential kitten, and she or he would be very well loved, but I’m not sure what I’ll be up against with breeders.
Especially helpful would be the thoughts of actual cat breeders.

Save a life and adopt one from a shelter.
It would depend on the breeder. Breeders should not be painted with the same brush. Tho you should be prepared for questions regarding care of the kitten should you not be able to keep it. IOW do you have family members that could step in and care for the kitty?
Since your residence is temporary what would happen if you had to relocate and the new place didn’t allow animals. Since kittens are a long term commitment you should have a long term plan.
If a particular breeder seems to be too controlling, move on. There are others that may think differently and worry less, trust more.
Just FYI I have been a cat breeder for 20 years and I have sold kittens to the students at FSU and University of Miami.
In closing, when a good, caring, responsible, pet owner is paired with a good, caring, responsible, breeder it would seem like the perfect *marriage*
Good luck with your new kitten
I have a issue here.. My Cat goes to my neighbours house and then drinks the milk and then comes back… Anything I can do to stop that?
One can imagine I read it twice. While I am not as versatile on this topic, I match with your determinations because they make sense. Gives Thanks and goodluck to you.
