I agree. All of my cats came from the humane society or were strays I picked up. Paying $50,000 for a feline friend is demented.
Our local shelter is in trouble ( like everything else in NY). She could have adopted a kitten for $50.00 and donated the rest to her SPCA. $50 grand.......I wonder what something as big as a horse might cost?
It is for people with more dollars than sense. Kalifornia, what a surprise.
"Paying $50,000 for a feline friend is demented."
Agreed. However, like anything else, the more common this practice becomes, the lower the price will eventually be.
If one is faced with taxes or cloned cat - choose the cloned cat.
Heck, I don't even have to go get them. They just appear, cats and their kittens.
