Price and budget
# How much does a Munchkin kitten cost?
United States
The Munchkin remains a rare breed, which can cause its purchase price to vary greatly depending on the lineage, compliance with the standard, the reputation of the cattery and availability in France. It is essential to favor a serious breeder who monitors the health and socialization of the kittens.
Purchase price
## It all depends on where your kitten comes from
Before any adoption, you must compare breeding practices, health guarantees and the documents provided rather than focusing solely on the displayed price.

- Ask for the relevant screening tests of the breeding cats and a clear contract.
- The maintenance budget over several years often exceeds the purchase price.
