Persian Cat Pricing

Time of Year
The time of year that kittens are available can play a role in the price of Persian cats. Most cats come into season when there is more daylight and longer days. Therefore, during the winter cats do not come into heat as often or at all. This means that there are very few Persian kittens available in the early part of the year. The scarcity of kittens during this time of year can drive the price of Persian kittens up (not a lot, but enough). Additionally, many Persian cat breeders plan the breeding of their cats around show schedules.

Registered or Unregistered
Persian cat price can vary because of whether or not the kittens are registered. Reputable Persian cat breeders sell registered kittens and cats. However, a breeder may withhold registration papers on their kittens until they receive written verification that the kitten has been altered. Unless your kitten is registered, you have no proof that the Persian kitten you are looking at is actually purebred or the offspring of purebred Persian cats.

Guarantee
Reputable Persian cat breeders provide their kitten buyers with a written contract and health guarantee. Health guarantees differ from breeder to breeder so it is important to ask about a health guarantee and read it thoroughly before purchasing the kitten. If the Persian cat breeder says that they have cats that are DNA tested negative for PKD - ask to see those certificates. A reputable breeder should not be offended by that request. continued»»»
