I am right there with you on that whole shelters being filled. In my anatomy and physiology class we disected cats that came from shelters. I know for a fact that up to 80% of aminals at shelters are someone's unwanted pet, so we were cutting up a cat that had once belonged to someone and they found reason not to want them anymore!!! It made me sad.
Also since Cactus's has had seizures, I would not dream of breeding him. I would've had it done a long time ago but I have been waiting to see how frequent his seizures are!
