A cat breeder is a person or organization that selectively breeds cats to produce specific traits, such as appearance, temperament, and health. They often focus on particular breeds, ensuring that the cats meet established breed standards. Responsible breeders prioritize the well-being of their animals, conducting health screenings and providing proper care. In addition to breeding, cat breeders may also educate potential pet owners about the characteristics and needs of different breeds. They typically provide guidance on proper care, nutrition, and training, helping new owners understand how to best support their new feline companions.
