Price and budget
# How much does a California Spangled kitten cost?
United States
The California Spangled is a rare breed, which can strongly influence its availability and its acquisition cost. The price varies depending on the lineage, the reputation of the breeding cattery, the age of the cat and the rarity of the litters.
Purchase price
## It all depends on where your kitten comes from
In practice, acquisition mainly goes through specialized breeders when litters are available. The rarity of the breed requires carefully checking health guarantees, identification, and breeding conditions.
