What do you think of the breed Snowshoe cat?
A new breed started in the '60's in Pennsylvania. I have an old style barn, someone had to have entered the barn in order to leave this cat there a week ago. I was angry that someone would drop off a cat with a flea collar on it, to get tangled/caught and not get loose. Young cat about a yr old, not declawed nor nuetered. I have a vet appt. Monday for nuetering, but have no idea if he has had his shots. Do Snowshoes make good house cats/pets?

If you found a stray barn cat HIGHLY unlikely it's a Snowshoe. It's simply a domestic - a cat of NO breed - just like over 97% of the cats on this entire planet. So your question is completely irrelevant.

You've more likely got a mixed breed than a 'real' snowshoe - that snowshoe pattern is very common on cats that have Siamese in their genetic background. But no matter really - whatever he truly is, he will make a wonderful house pet. The Siamese mixes - if that is what he is - are less high strung than their purebred cousins, and are very social and interactive cats. In rescue, we 'guess' that if a cat hasn't been altered, they haven't gotten any vaccines, either, so your vet will get him up to date on both the FVRCP and rabies vaccines.
Look at it this way - the irresponsible person's loss is your gain :)
