persian kittens

When searching for a pedigreed Persian kitten you will find a WIDE selection of prices depending on which breeder you talk with. In your local classifieds you may find "purebred Persian kittens" for $150 - $300. Online you will dsicover prices ranging from $400 - $2500 (sometimes more) depending on which cattery site you visit. Just how much should you expect to cover your dream kitten?

First you should think about the expenses of breeding and raising Persian kittens. Reputable breeders have invested tens of thousands of dollars in with their breeding stock and thousands more into the good care of these kittens. While it is possible to locate that cute little kitten for $200 in the neighborhood paper, you have to stop and wonder what type of care it's received in it's short life.

With Persian kittens (or any kittens for that matter) you can get everything you pay for. Someone who is charging rock bottom prices is almost certainly not giving the kitten the same quality of care as someone who is charging a higher price. I'll admit, it is not necessarily true that a $200 Persian hasn't received excellent care, but most of the time you will find that's the case.

What're a few of the typical expenses for a Persian breeder?

• Vaccinations
• Vet check-ups (a major expense)
• Top quality kitten food
• Kitten toys
• Cat beds
• Kitty litter
• Litter pan
• Food and water dishes
• Cleaning supplies for the cattery

The list continues on and on. Something I haven't even mentioned yet is the full time responsible, caring breeders devote with their cattery and especially with their kittens social development. I'm a mother of two and I could honestly say I've spent nearly just as much time with my kittens as I've with my children! I think in the event that you will breed cats, you then better get ready for the responsibilities that come along side it. And which includes taking the perfect care of one's kittens.

After comparing numerous sites, I have noticed that the doll faced Persians usually sell for a bit more than the extreme face type. Which means you should consider that in your decision concerning which kitten is right for you. I do believe their adorable round little faces and chubby cheeks appeal to plenty of families and individuals who're looking for a loving pet and not interested in showing.

Also, the size of your kitten is really a aspect in price. In your search I'm sure you will stumble upon websites (including mine) that say 'toy" or "teacup" as a description. Without the official title, those words give you an idea of how big the breeder thinks that kitten will soon be once they reach maturity. Teacups range from 2-4 pounds while toys usually are 4-9 pounds. Quite a few people are specifically looking for kittens that will always be small and so they're in higher demand than average sized Persians and priced somewhat higher.

To summarize, I would say for a wholesome persian kitten you need to expect to cover at the very least $700 and as much as $2500 depending on what color and sex you are looking for. Goldens and blue eyed whites are extremely sought after colors which can be hard to come by. So they'll usually be priced higher than other colors. My kittens usually sell anywhere from $1200 to $2000 based on color and quality.

Make certain exactly where you get your kitten from that you get a written health guarantee and a copy of one's kitten's health record showing what type of healthcare your kitten has received. I wish you the most truly effective of luck in finding your dream kitten!
