Price and budget

How much does a British Shorthair kitten cost?

United Kingdom

The pedigree British Shorthair registered with the LOOF is often priced between €800 and €1,600 depending on the color, type and tests. The maintenance budget remains that of a calm indoor cat, sometimes prone to being overweight.

Purchase price

It all depends on where your kitten comes from

Prefer a LOOF-registered cattery that presents the parents, cardiac screening, and a well-socialized kitten. A very low price should prompt you to check that it is not a European cat sold under this name.

A price that seems too good to be true?

  • An abnormally low price should prompt you to check identification, health, and breeding conditions.
  • Ask for relevant screening tests for the breeding cats and a clear contract.
  • The maintenance budget over several years often exceeds the purchase price.
