We are an all breed feline rescue. All of our kitties are in loving foster homes. POG is comprised of a small group of private individuals, committed to the lives of the kitties we save. All expenses come out of our own pockets. Adoption fees are set to a limited amount and are used to offset the cost of necessary medical and caring expenses of the kitties in our care. The kitties are not in shelters, but live with love in a foster home. See cats available

You are very unlikely to find a purebred kitten in a shelter, especially a "Wegie" (Norwegian Forest Cat) which is a relatively rare breed. Like purebred puppies, purebred kittens are usually purchased directly from breeders, who usually also provide a lot of guidance in how to care for them and "hand-holding" as needed while you're transitioning your new kitten into your household.

However, it is easy to find breeders in your area. Two places to look are on the CFA (Cat Fanciers' Association) website, www.cfa.org, and on the Fanciers Breeder Referral List, www.breedlist.com. Both sites have several different search options and will let you look for specific breeds, within a specific area, or in several other ways. In addition, the CFA site has an excellent writeup on Norwegian Forest Cats in the "Breeds and Colors" section.

You may also want to check out an article I wrote on this breed, at http://www.helium.com/items/996695-while-history-n...

Good luck!

You can use the link below to search for any breeds in the CFA (Cat Fanciers' Association) breeder referral. You can refine the search to specific breeds and states. You could also do a Google search for Norwegian Forest Cat breeders, and will probably get a decent list.

call a rescue organization in your local area. search on-line for breeds that you like, research them, and then call the breed rescue for your breed of choice. Make sure that you are knowledgeable about the breed and it's pros/cons before adopting it. And also if you can, rescue an animal...too many unloved pets out there.

the local newspaper classifieds section will have purebred kittens. Just make sure you check the paper weekly.

you can find breeders on google... depends on the pure breed you want
