Too funny, Bambi. I got my ragdoll from same source you did. I have two purebred dogs, a German shepherd (she has papers) and a yellow lab (allegedly could be papered), both free. One from local ad paper and the other through the friend of a family member. Amazing how many people get a dog and then find it is too much for them. My last two large dogs (both crossbreed large dogs) lived to be around 14. One came from shelter, the other we paid a lot of money for (but the owner kindly threw in the house and 11 acres of land <G>)

There are probably rescue orgs for breeds of cats, just like for dogs, but they have too many "rules" for my liking.

I've never had a pure-bred kitty that I paid for. A friend had kittens that
were not "show" Ragdolls and I drove to Virginia and got two-- Serendipity
and Elliott. I also brought home their mom, well my cousin who rode with
me, brought home their mom.

My ex was always big into getting "pure-bred" dogs. Everyone we ever had
died before it was 5. My SPCA "mutts" have lived 15+ years.

My current "mutts" came from a sci.med lead in fact. And they'll likely
live to be 103 just to drive me crazy.

After spending the day looking around, I may encourage her to go to the SPCA
or the humane society. When this daughter turned 10 my sister gave her a
kitten. It had Siamese-like coloring. Turned out to be a seal-point that
the vet offered to buy from me..... I assured her the mom was a garage tabby
and she told me it could not have been! LOL!

Keep checking out the local animal shelters, too. You'd be surprised
at how many purebred and near-purebreds they get in both cats and
dogs! I prefer getting pets there anyhow, as ever shelter rescue
story is another animal that didn't get put to sleep. And let's
face it -- those mixed-breed cats will love their humans just as
much as the fanciest grand champion.

I don't, this kid doesn't live with me. Although I have to admit,
looking
at the prices WAAAAAY ruled out Himalayans so I was looking at
Ragdolls....
and thinking maybe I *could* add just one more. THankfully, it was
just
temporary insanity.

And here you just said that you didn't want any more
companions... LOL
