cat breeder
Raises pedigreed felines
A cat breeder is someone who raises cats for sale, typically purebred or pedigreed varieties.
Professional breeders select for specific traits—coat color, temperament, body type—and maintain breeding records.
The term can be neutral or carry connotations of commercialism, especially when contrasted with adoption: Why buy from a cat breeder when shelters are full?
