Try petfinder.com or search tonkinese rescue to see if you can find one nearer you. Also try the pure bred cat rescue site.
I found my Bengal cat on the Bengal cat rescue site. I drove 6 hrs and crossed 3 states to pick him up. He is in my avatar. We have been together 5 yrs now.
Often times if you can find the cat you are looking for on a rescue site, they have often times been rescued from breeders. If you do decide to buy from a breeder do your homework on the breeder. Check various websites for prices. When I was looking to get a Bengal cat, I talked to a couple of breeders first and a couple of them didn't seem up to par. They had used the cats for breeding purposes but had never tried socializing them & had kept them caged up. Be sure to talk with and check out any breeder you decide to use.
Good luck with your hunt for the perfect feline quilting buddy.
