As neat as some breeds are, I can't look at Petfinder.org and ever justify purchasing a pure-bred pet (dog or cat). Our next cat will likely come from a no-kill shelter and not be a kitten. Or, likely, we will simply take in a stray. This has been our MO for years (we almost ended up with a new kitty on Halloween, too. A sweet little tortie started ToTing with us. We had a hard time keeping her from coming into our house with us, but our existing 4 cats would NOT approve).

If you have your heart set on a specific breed, I agree with looking at one of the breed-specific rescue organizations.
