If they have Kitty Klinefelter's Syndrome (XXY), that is likely true.

True.
If it’s fertile, it’ll be worth a fortune.

A local vet had a sign up that said she’d neutered one. I imagine that breeding them would result in some undesirable characteristics.

Well, XYY or XXY humans are generally fertile, but some produce more abnormal sperm, which is a big cause of infertility. So I would think it’s probably about the same with cats. Some will be sterile, not directly because of the extra chromosome, but because of the sperm abnormalities that sometimes accompany it.
