Price & budget

How much does a Kai kitten cost?

Japan

The purchase price of the Kai varies mainly depending on the quality of the breeding, the rarity of the bloodline, the pedigree and the socialization work carried out beforehand. A breed that is still uncommon, it can be more difficult to find than a more widespread companion dog.

Purchase price

It all depends on where your kitten comes from

A price too good to be true?

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