I agree to a certain point.. here's my thoughts (without wanting to upset anyone )

Rescue centres can only see it from their point of view, the amount of half dead, ill cats they must get in must tarnish their views.. I know it would mine if I worked in one. We got our first cat from Cats protection, who were wonderful.. they came out to visit us, checked out the area we lived in, what the house was like etc. We also had to sign a contract that said what we could & couldn't do.

I guess their view on breeders is twofold, where they do know of the best and the worst... unfortunately the rescue centres don't get to see the good breeders.. they end up picking up the pieces when the worst does happen.

There are misguided views from both sides of the fence I guess... sadly the two "worlds" are destined not to get on IMO
