'No one wanted him, so I took him': Man rescues a sick Maine Coon from a breeder who couldn't use him or sell him anymore, takes care of him and gives him the home he's always deserved

There is nothing worse than a breeder who doesn't care about his cats.

Being a cat breeder is bad enough, using the little things to make money when all they want is to nap all day long and cry for snacks. But, despite the fact that we know it is usually not true, we would like to live under the illusion that these people care about the cats that they have at least somewhat. We wish we weren't constantly reminded otherwise. Adopt, don't shop. That has always been the ICHC motto. Rescue, don't buy. That could be another one. And a third could be: if you know of terrible cat breeders around you, save the cats from them.

That is what the man in this story did, and we could not be more thankful to him. The kitty got sick, who knows how, but the second he did, he was no longer useful to his breeder. No one wanted to buy him because he was sick, and he could not be used anymore in the breeder's sick and twisted ways for the same reason. What to do now? Vet bills are too expensive and simply not worth it, not to people like that. But to people like the man in this story, this kitty was worth every penny.

We could only imagine the kind of life this poor thing lives before being adopted by this kind couple. The fact that the breeder didn't know anything about him, couldn't tell you what was wrong with him… the fact that the only things that he knew were that the cat could not be used anymore and could not be sold. This should tell you everything that you need to know about the conditions that this poor thing was kept in. Maybe, had he been in better hands, his sickness could have been caught sooner and taken care of.

We suppose we will never know what this baby has been through in his past. We can only be thankful that he was found and taken by you guys, that he is loved and will be loved until the end of his life, and that he is in much, much better hands now than he ever was before. He is going to live the life that he deserves to live now, and that is all that actually matters. Thank you for taking him, thank you for being so patient with him, and thank you so much for sharing your story.
