You can rescue american shorthairs from the pound/rescue centers. They are cheap, usually like 100 or so which includes shots and what not. But you run the risk of an abused cat. My previous cat who i bought at a pound was abused as a kitten and was a little off his whole life.
Like i said, if you read what i wrote above, im guessing you didnt- All the good breed pedigree cats in this area are anywhere from 600-1000. Pedigree cats are much different then your typical american shorthair in many different ways. Like dogs they all have there own personalities and breed traits.
