I have been a cat person all my life, but always just had cats abandoned by others, never from a pet store or shelter. Until a year ago, when I did adopt an adult flame point ragdoll from a rescue. He supposedly was taken from a shelter but otherwise no known history where he came from. The rescue does adoptions on a regular basis at area stores, they have a web site, and otherwise appear on the up and up.
My cat had a red eye problem when I got him that the rescue people said was a scratch from other kittens. It would not heal and weeks later I had to pay alot of money for laser surgery, the vet said it was likely herpes.
My question is why breeds like that would ever end up in a shelter or rescue to begin with.
I would like to adopt another cat but am hesitant to look at rescues.
