Also, I would want to get from a breeder because they keep the kittens for much longer. Around here a kitten is available at 8 weeks, but responsible breeders keep them for much longer, around 12, sometimes 14-16 weeks (which is the norm for Norwegian Forest cat breeders). I think the socialization and head start that they get with a responsible breeder is worth it, for me. And a lot of the shelters here feed kibble, it would be easier to transition a cat onto raw if it's on canned or is already on raw.
I can see the pros to buying from a breeder.
