How much does a Kurilian Bobtail cost?

Russia

The Kurilian Bobtail is a rare breed, and its purchase price depends mainly on the quality of the lineage, the availability of kittens and the seriousness of the breeding. Its still limited distribution can make the supply vary significantly depending on the countries and the periods.

Purchase price

It all depends on where your puppy comes from

Prefer a declared LOOF-registered cattery, transparent about origins, relevant tests and living conditions. A very low price should prompt you to check identification and health status. Adoption through an association is sometimes possible.

A price 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.

FAQ

Your questions about price

Answers to future buyers’ questions.

The breed remains rare outside Russia and is still underrepresented in many European breeders. This low profile limits supply and can lengthen the waiting times to find an available kitten.
