No, that's absolute poppycock.
A *reputable* breeder will invite prospective buyers into their home to see the kittens with mum, and, if they own the stud, to meet dad as well. Usually this will involve more than one meeting, and it's a two way process, with both buyer and breeder getting to know each other. The breeder will assess how the buyer interacts with the cats in the house (and how the cats react to them) and then a decision will be made as to whether to proceed or not. Sometimes gut feeling comes into it as well.
A similar process happens with particularly the smaller rescues, and certainly with our branch (Ely & District) of Cats protection.
However, neither the breeder nor the fosterer has any say in what an owner then decides to do once the moneys have been paid and the paperwork has been filled in.
I know, we’ve bought pedigrees before. This reputable South Yorkshire breeder was unhinged.
