Price and budget

How much does a Ceylan kitten cost?

Sri Lanka

The Ceylan is a rare breed, which explains a limited supply and prices often higher than for more common cats. The acquisition cost must always be put into perspective with the seriousness of the breeding, health monitoring and long-term maintenance expenses.

It all depends on where your kitten comes from

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.
