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.
| Declared LOOF breeding programThe right choice Identified, socialized kitten from a monitored breeding program | €400 – €1,800 |
| --- | --- |
| Show lineage Sought-after type, valued origins and documented screenings | €459 – €1,800 |
| Association or shelter More often an assessed adult, depending on the association | €120 – €400 |

## 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.
