Rare Very Can you find purebred cats in animal shelters or is it very rare?
If yes, are cats in animal shelters neutered/spayed or do they have potent ones also?
Kittens of particular breeds aren't found at shelters. They only come from the mating of pedigreed cat to pedigreed cat and breeders sell them for $600 and up. And anyone buying a kitten from a breeder that then can no longer keep it is obligated to return the kitten to the breeder. Many microchip their kittens so if they do end up at a shelter they'll get them back.
Cats, yes - occasionally. Especially breeds like the Persian which are VERY high maintenance. Too many people buy them without research the daily grooming they require and then either surrender them to shelters or simply toss them out on the streets.
You don't, however, normally find "obvious purebreds" that come with their papers. Once in a great while someone will turn in the pedigreed as well but that's pretty rare. That doesn't mean, though, that these cats can't still end up competing in cat shows as there's a "Household Pet" class you can still put them into - which is for pedigreed cats that don't fit their breed standard, obvious purebreds without papers and cats of no particular breed.
I have three cats that were adopted as adults from shelters that are "obvious purebreds". The first two, well, you just can't "fake" the look of those breeds. The RagaMuffin I was able to track where she came from since I volunteer with the shelter and found out she'd originally come from a RagaMuffin breeder that had closed her cattery:

edit: sorry missed your question about whether they're spayed/neutered. Yes they are absolutely spayed and neutered. Besides that - breeders don't tend to hand out unaltered kittens so in most cases they already would be. That's very irresponsible of you to think you could get unaltered pedigreed cats from a shelter and then breed them. You wouldn't have papers for the cat so even it was unaltered no breeder would allow your cat to mate with theirs. The ONLY people who should be breeding cats are reputable breeders doing so for the RIGHT reasons - for the love of and to better the breed.

Includes liner notes by Chris Heath.All tracks have been digitally remastered.BEHAVIOUR was the Pet Shop Boys' first truly mature album, but its follow-up, 1993's VERY, proved to be their masterpiece. On the surface, VERY is the duo's most carefree album, a modern dance-floor update of the kitchen-sink production and swelling melodies of a classic ABBA album. Just barely underneath, Neil Tennant's lyrics keep their layers of mordant wit, but drop the self-protective irony in favor of writing truthfully about the lives of gay men in the early '90s, regrouping in the face of AIDS.To that end, the album starts with "Can You Forgive Her?," a drop-dead-gorgeous song directed to a closeted young man whose "girlfriend" wants to call off her part in the charade, and it wraps up with a completely heartfelt and unironic version of the Village People's "Go West" that views the unfettered hedonism of the original with a palpable sense of regret. In between, "Yesterday, When I Was Mad" and "I Wouldn't Normally Do This Kind of Thing" are among the duo's finest singles.

Should You Keep Rare Tropical Fish?
There is a lot of controversy these days over rare and exotic pets, and included in that controversy is question of whether or not you should keep rare tropical fish. Some may argue that rare animals of any variety should not be taken from their natural habitat so that they can breed and be as healthy as possible, while others argue that keeping any animal in captivity can actually be safer than letting it loose in the wild. And since keeping rare tropical fish means that they won't be in the ocean near predators and other harmful elements, and they'll be kept in a closed and controlled environment, is there really any harm to this? Let's take a look at some of the pros and cons of keeping rare tropical fish and then of course you can make up your own mind regarding this subject.
The first thing to consider about rare tropical fish is where they've come from. Obviously if you're buying them from a private seller you want to make sure that he or she is obtaining these fish legally. Some people are not against smuggling exotic pets out of countries without proper paperwork. On the other hand some breeders of rare tropical fish are licensed to breed them on their own and may have their own fish farms and aquariums where they raise them. It's up to you to find these things out for sure.
You also need to keep in mind the expense and care that may be needed with some breeds of rare tropical fish, which might need more exacting water conditions and may have special dietary needs. Many fish are very sturdy and can withstand changes in their tank water whereas some rare tropical fish are more delicate and need constant checking when it comes to the water's pH, chemical, bacteria, and so on. If you want your fish to live you're going to need to be sure you're taking care of it properly. You also need to be aware of their dietary needs, as some cannot do so well with plain flake fish food. They may need special live feed or may also need supplements added to their diet. These things can be costly, so do your research and comparison shopping beforehand and make sure you can fit these things into your budget. And of course there is the cost of the rare tropical fish itself! Some can run hundreds and even thousands of dollars, and yet you should also keep in mind their life spans. How do you feel about spending that much money on a fish that lives only a few years, if even that? Weigh this carefully and be sure you can afford this type of temporary investment.
Only you can decide if any rare tropical fish are right for you and your aquarium. Keep in mind if you're doing the right thing for the fish as well, and in the end you're sure to make the right decision.
