Frequently asked questions
Why do some cats cost thousands?
Rare breeds, champion bloodlines, and health testing increase prices. Breeders invest in vet care, genetic screening, and registration. Show-quality cats cost more than pet-quality.
What's included in the price?
Typically includes initial vaccinations, deworming, microchipping, and sometimes spay/neuter. Adoption fees often cover these too. Some breeders provide a health guarantee or registration papers.
How can I save money?
Adopt from a shelter—fees are much lower and include medical care. Consider mixed breeds, which are often healthier. Avoid rare breeds. Check breed-specific rescues for lower costs.
