I don’t know anyone that has paid for a cat. I’ve had two that needed a home. My wife brought three to our marriage, one from a shelter and two from litters of people she knew.
I’ve paid the local cat shelter adoption fees, but I don’t think that counts. It helps them stay in operation, and covers things like spaying/neutering.
I’ve had a few cats in my life and I’ve never once paid for one, Hell I’ve never even gone to a shelter to adopt one, they just show up. Naturally every time I take to the vet to get checked out and see if they’re chipped. nope. just random kitties that decide “you seem nice and seem like you’ll feed me”
Don’t purchase designer cats! Adopt cats!! Or if there’s street cats, bring them inside.
Good advice. Adopted cats do taste the best 👍

people here pay for kittens, but it’s like… 100€ or something, it’s kind of a token sum to make up for them having fed and taken care of the kitten.

I did, but it turns out it was a Trojan cat. We have 10 now (finding homes for them, 10 is not sustainable lol).
