Let’s get something straight.
I’m a breeder.
Not a backyard amateur. Not a kitten mill. A real breeder… educated, intentional, and all-in.
And before you come for me, chew on this:
Without breeders, your precious “Bengal” wouldn’t exist.
Neither would Maine Coons…
Or Siamese…
Or Abyssinians…
Or Ragdolls…
Or British Shorthairs… along with many other breeds.
You’d have… whatever wandered out of a barn and survived long enough to reproduce. That’s not preservation. That’s roulette.
So if you love purebred cats but spit venom at breeders…
Congratulations👏 you’re the problem.
Let’s talk about what REAL breeders do:
🔬 We conduct health testing.
🧬 We are knowledgeable in genetics and work to produce animals without defects.
🐾 We hand-select for stable temperament, not Instagram likes.
❤️ We raise with structure, enrichment, and science… from womb to forever home.
This isn’t a side hustle. It’s a commitment that eats your money, sleep, and soul.
And yet… we’re the villains?
Yeah, bad breeders exist.
So do shady rescues.
So do vets who ignore suffering. So do teachers who hurt kids.
Should we burn all of them down too?
Let’s not pretend some “rescues” aren’t raking in cash while warehousing animals for years and charging “adoption fees” that rival show-quality kittens.
But sure… tell me again how I’m the villain for preserving genetic health, sound structure, and a breed’s very existence.
You don’t have to like breeders.
But the ethical ones?
We’re the only thing standing between healthy, well-tempered cats… and a genetic wasteland of unpredictable crosses.
We’re not the threat.
We’re the firewall.
So maybe… shut up and sit down if you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about.
Because while you’re busy throwing stones, we’re out here shaping the future of felines.
And that’s a hill I’ll proudly die on. ✌️
