Rehoming Adult Cats

Fostering adult cats can generate mixed opinions, but it’s important to understand the role of a breeder. A breeder’s primary responsibility is not to accumulate cats, but to maintain the health and genetic diversity of the breed.
This means that, at times, breeders may need to rehome adult cats that are no longer part of their breeding program. This decision is not a reflection of a lack of affection for the cat, but rather a necessity to manage a healthy and balanced environment. For
example, a sterilized adult cat living with other unsterilized cats may experience stress due to conflicts related to fertility, making it difficult for the cat to thrive. Rehoming the cat to a new family offers an opportunity for the animal to live in a more suitable environment that better meets its needs.

Parting with a cat that a breeder has raised, cared for, and sometimes even helped bring into the world is a difficult and emotional decision.

In conclusion, anyone who chooses to breed cats takes on the responsibility not only for the future of the breed but also for the well-being of each individual cat in their care.
