As long as we pay $500 dollars for a 'purebred' aka inbred cat instead of getting free ones from the paper, we will have kitten mills. Same goes for any animal.
Check with PETA or the Humane Society. Please, do not support kitten mills. My M-I-N got a female dog from a puppy mill and they abused her badly. She had a broken leg when we got her.

Not as many people will pay big bucks for a cat as they will for a dog. There are probably poor catteries that overproduce, but probably not too many true "kitten mills".
Heck, look at all the people on here that let their cat have litter after litter. They are cat mills!!!!! They just keep making more poor quality kittens that don't get much care.

What is a cat mill?
Cat mills are facilities where humans breed helpless cats, providing minimal care to maximize their profits.
There are approximately 5,000 cat mills in the United States!
Cats are often inbred to maximize their use, thereby saving money for the breeder. One female will often breed repeatedly until she becomes "useless" due to illness and/or injury from excessive breeding. At this point she will most likely be killed or sold to another cat mill for further exploitation.
Dogs that are born and raised in puppy mills often have genetic disorders due to inbreeding or injuries from loose wires or dog fights. Additionally, they often live in such abhorrent conditions including, but not limited to, standing in feces, lack of air conditioning or heating and cramped quarters that cause them to become physically and/or emotionally ill.
Currently, cat mills are not required for inspection due to a loophole in the Animal Welfare Act (AWA). The Pet Animal Welfare Statute is working to change this, making sure that large breeding operations (those that sell seven or more litters a year) are subject to the minimum requirements of the AWA.
You can make sure this happens by contacting your Senators and Representatives and urging them to co-sponsor and strongly support the Pet Animal Welfare Statute

I think animal mills are cruel. do you know what they do at those things? they force animals to reproduce at extremely high rates 'til they are literally exhausted. i see these things on the animal channel all the time. puppy mills are the worst.

If you want to start one, i believe you first need a breeding pair of cats. Then breed them repeatedly until you have lots and lots of cats. Are you really sure you want to do this? You'll end up with an awful lot of cats.
