You know why so many cats end up at the Humane Society (wish you'd stop calling it the SPCA)? Its because people buy animals from places like pet stores and breeders and then decide they can't look forward to them anymore. The good people at the Humane Society take in the animals, and try to adopt them out to good people.
If you're going to get a cat, for the love of god adopt one. Don't buy one.
That being said, don't get a cat. You don't deserve one. And the cat did nothing wrong to get so unlucky as to wind up in your household.
