Welcome to Gaia! ::

If someone asks just say you rescued her.

All of my cats honestly are rescues. 3 of them are purebred.

Ahh the top two look like the himalayan my mom rescued when I was younger, we got her from a backyard breeder, we paid 75$ for a kitten we thought was going to die, but we nursed her back to health and had her for 12 years.

I don't feel like I should have to lie about it though and she very obviously isn't a rescue as she's a pretty rare colourpoint as well.
She's a lilac-cream with lynx point striped markings, she's the thin and elegant type of Siamese as well (she's the kitten in my signature, although she is fully grown now).

I got the top left from the county shelter. She was a former siamese breeding cat. (That's what they shelter told me anyway.) Obviously not a good breeder. The top left my aunt dropped off at my house and begged me to keep. She bred her Balinese even though she knew her husband didn't want kittens. She got rid of all the kittens but that one and her husband said if she didn't get rid of it that day he was going to kill it. The black persian and the Himalayan are ones my other aunt got and then she decided she wanted a dog. She was going to take them to the county shelter where they are so full they probably would have never made it to the adoption floor.

As for your cat, People have really strong feeling about buying from breeders. It doesn't matter if you wanted a certain breed. People are still going to think you are an awful person because you bought verses adopted. Are you an awful person? Probably not, but you still are going to be treated like one if you tell people where you got your cat. You can tell them you rescued the cat , you can ignore the fact that you have a second cat, or you can deal with people attacking you for buying from a breeder. You shouldn't feel bad for buying your cat if you feel that was the right decision. Obviously you love your cat and when it comes down to it that's all that really matters.
(and yes I did just copy and paste my reply to Latrans and change the pronouns.)

People get a little too self-righteous when it comes to adoption vs. breeders sometimes. As long as you got the cat from a responsible breeder, you're fine.

Yes, adoption is super super super important since there are tons of cats out there who need homes, but that doesn't make you a monster for giving a cat bought from a breeder a home.
