Pricing & Breeding Costs
People often ask the pet prices of kitten as their 1st inquiry. Prices vary per region; midwest averages $600 to $750; west coast $750 to $900; and east coast $700 to $850. Keep in mind these are average prices only.
Many things go into the price of a kitten.
1. Vet Visits for Sire, Dam and Kittens
2. Various health testing & vaccinations, teeth cleaning
3. Food and litter
4. Time – Caring for all the kittens and cats
5. Showing (Travel, Show entry Fees, Show Curtains)
6. Routine grooming care products
7. Un-Fore-Seen surgeries (C-Sections, Uterine infection and Spay, Twisted Intestines can happen when breeding and requires surgery, etc.)
Many people believe that breeding means making money. It does not. Usually breeding and placing kittens leave a breeder's bank account in the negative. Lucky breeders break even.
Therefore, we do not place breeding cats with people we do not know personally or are not established breeders.
If a kitten is out of your price range, try asking the breeder if they have any retired cats, older kittens, or young adults. They will many times place these at reduced adoption fees. Many breeders keep kittens for show/breeding potential, making them not the average 12 to 16 weeks when they are ready to leave for a new home.
Keep in mind when inquiring about an Adult that:
Placing retired adults is much harder than placing kittens. We become very attached to our cats over the course of their breeding and/or showing careers. People ask how we can bear to part with them. The answer is that we love them so much that we want them to go to a loving home where they will be the center of attention, the “star” of the show.
We know our cats’ personalities, needs, and quirks so it becomes crucial that we find the perfect home - so it will be forever. We’ll ask a lot of questions and take our time in deciding if we’ve found the right match. We do this to ensure that our cats do not have to go through the confusion of being re-homed more than once. If you feel that your lifestyle and home would be more suited to an adult than a young kitten, I would be eager to discuss with you the placement of one of our available retirees.
