Does anyone know of any cat breeders in the area? Specifically, I am looking for British Shorthairs, American Shorthairs, Scottish Folds, Maine Coons, or Ragdolls. But I'm interested in checking out other breeds as well, so I'm open to lots of types of breeders.

What? This post has been up for over an hour with no breeder vs. shelter flamefest? I would like to congratulate the honorable members of the davis square community for their restraint -- it's at times like these we can really feel proud of not being b0st0n.

(Also, while in no way proseletyzing, I'd like to mention that we have cats who are quite clearly ASHs and Maine Coons that came form the local shelters, so if it's just breed characteristics that're important to you and not papers, you can probably find what you want at a shelter. Moreover, there are a number of breed-specific rescue organizations: http://mainecoonrescue.net/ and http://www.mainecooncatrescue.org/ are two examples. But this is in the order of informing, not proseltyzing; no flames intended.)

Thank you! I actually figured someone would flame me, but I fearlessly posted anyway.

And I had no idea that there were breed specific rescue organizations...I actually am very interested! Thanks so much for the links!
