The price when selling kittens online varies widely, influenced by factors like breed, age, and pedigree.
A cat from a shelter or rescue group often costs between $50 and $200, while a purebred from an experienced breeder can range from several hundred to thousands of dollars.
Remember, the initial cost of a cat is just the beginning. New cat owners must plan for ongoing expenses such as food, litter, toys, veterinary care, and other necessities, which can total between $500 and $1,500 annually.
Cats from animal welfare organizations and reputable breeders typically receive initial medical care, vaccinations, microchipping, and a general wellness exam before joining new owners.
These vital health services are usually covered by the adoption fee or purchase price. Ensure that potential buyers understand these costs to prevent surprises during the purchase.
Naturally, you want your kittens to find loving families and avoid the need to rehome them later. When selling cats online, consider asking buyers the following questions to gauge their suitability for your pets:
How might your current pets react to a new cat in the household?
Can you, given your social and work commitments, devote the necessary time to care for a cat?
Are there any family members with health or allergy concerns related to cats?
Does your household pulse with energy, or is it more relaxed and quiet?
Will the cat you’re acquiring harmonize with your family?
