Mixed breeds are often a good choice if the breed itself is not an issue. Many of these can be found at the local veterinary office or animal shelter. Many of these places give discounts for neuter or spay of the animal. Mixed breed cats have a variety of personality traits and appearances.

Purebred cats have distinct personalities and appearance. They come in all shapes and sizes. The Persian has long hair, not loudly vocal and moderately active. In comparison, the Siamese has short hair, is highly vocal and much more active. There are plenty of sites on the internet that will allow you to enter your requirements and match you up with a cat breed that fits.

Whatever cat breed is chosen, it is important to look after their health. Spaying or nuetering the cat will prevent unwanted pregnancies and lengthen the life of the cat. Vaccinations are equally important, most basic cat disease can be prevented by keeping the cat indoors and having it immunized.
