@MllionDollarQuestion - I understand what you are saying, however, to tell a person that gets a cat from a breeder - and that THEY are contributing to the overpopulation problem is a bit harsh.....I bet you those same people vaccinate, spay/neuter their pets....It's the the rest of the general poplulation that DON'T do this and allow the cats to breed and breed and breed.....
~and owner of two barn cats and one persian....

@MllionDollarQuestion Many purebreds that end up in shelters though are the "problem" cats with unanticipated temperaments for the breed or health issues.
A coworker had given up her expensive ragdoll after unsuccessfully dealing with scratching/biting and urinating outside the litter box.
99% chance that the shelter will not explain this thoroughly to the new adoptive parents.

It's disheartening how much these "companions" are viewed as material commodities. It's great to be knowledgable about breeds, however it should be emphasized that breeding and dealing is a huge set back to pet population control. When looking for a companion, keep in mind that over 4million cats and dogs are euthanized yearly in the US alone- many who end up in shelters are pure breds. If you must get a purebred, look for breed-specific rescue groups. Don't add to the numbers being disposed of.
