Toygers getting more Attention
A highly prized toyger is a cat that has been bred since 1993 by 25 breeders worldwide in attempt to give the domesticated feline the exotic features of a tiger.
The term "toyger" is due to their similarity to a toy tiger...clever. These highly sought after felines are worth $3000, and are hard to come by. I must admit, that even I want one after reading about them.

However, despite their exotic features, animal rescue organizations are worried that their popularity will lead to profit driven companies selling massive quantities of these toygers. This could lead to more homeless cats and thus more work for animal rescuers.

But if a shelter near me ever has one of these guys, I'll probably scoop it up.
