My family never bought a cat or dog either.
I technically "bought" my boys because a dealer wanted to get rid of non-breeding stock. But that's only after every place I contacted wouldn't allow cats to be re-homed as inside only cats and wouldn't consider inside/ outside cats in a place that faced a main road.

I do understand where they were coming from, but the truth is I provided a loving home for my boys in Leicester and continue to do so now in London. I wish their rules were less rigid and they depended more on personal circumstances. Truth is I adore my slinky, needy, climby, intelligent, people-centric cats, so they did me a favour. But they would have been adopted eventually anyway and I hate the idea two "normal" moggies lost out.
