What affects the cost
Finding out in clubs how much a kitten of a designer breed costs, the question of the huge difference in price worries almost all buyers. Is it really only the fashionable color or the fancy shape of the ears that adds a couple of zeros? Partly yes. But if you dig deeper, it turns out that the problem lies in the difficulties that breeders of expensive cats face:
- The livestock is small - it is difficult to find a mate for your animals.
- Distance from each other - nurseries are located in different cities or even countries.
- Genetic obstacles - it is difficult to fix a certain species, coat type, color and other rare traits in the offspring.
- Due to the small number of livestock, the price of an exclusive show-class kitten can be simply exorbitant, because it is truly unique.
- Designer animals are handled by experienced, well-known breeders. They invest a lot of money, time and effort into reputation, exhibitions, advertising, nursery maintenance, and consulting owners.
Of course, demand is not in last place - the fashion for expensive exclusive cats inflates prices faster than kittens can be born. And scarcity further fuels the desire to possess purring rarity.

The rarest short-haired and hairless species
Acquaintance with exclusive species begins with large spotted domestic cats. They are not classified based on origin, although they all have a common feature - mixing with wild animals.
- Steppe lynx or caracal. It is a predator, but is quickly tamed and in a number of countries lives next to people as a domestic cat. The caracal fell into the category of rare breeds due to the danger of complete extinction of the population.
- Savannah is a hybrid of a regular cat and an African serval. Breeding started in the early 80s to produce an elegant domestic cat with the appearance of a predator. Like all hybrids bred as a result of interspecific crossing, they bear the designation F and an index from 1 to 7. The higher the number, the less blood from wild progenitors.
- Chausie (Housie) is a cross between an Abyssinian and a marsh lynx (reed cat). Another hybrid that was registered as a separate breed in 1995. Starting from the third generation, it is well tamed and gets along well in the same territory with humans. But in the form of F1-F2 (25-50% of the blood of a wild animal) it is only suitable for enclosure keeping. The Chausie has a characteristic feature - these short-haired cats are prone to complete domestication and loss of qualities that were inherent in the selection process. Therefore, to maintain the breed, constant replenishment of the group with F1 hybrids is required.
- The South American cat Geoffroy with representatives of the Siamese and American shorthair breeds became the parents of Safari, a large spotted domestic cat. She repeated the entire evolutionary path of her predecessors. Hybrids often have an incomplete set of chromosomes, so the animals are often infertile.
- Ashera is the most expensive cat of all existing crosses with predators. The blood of an Asian leopard cat flows in her, and she is the most successful example of the formation of a stable genetic type.

- The Don Sphynx, an uncontrolled mutation of hair loss in an ordinary mongrel cat, began the Russian line.
- The Ukrainian Levkoy is a rare animal, born as a result of crossing the Scottish Fold and the Don Sphynx. Its characteristic features are the absence of hair and ears with curved tips.
- American elf - his “parents” were Canadian sphinxes and curls. The former inherited the absence of fur, and the latter inherited curled ears. The elf is the most striking example of purebred rare cats in the category of hairless animals.

The cost of a cat may also depend on its class:
• shows – the most expensive representatives intended for participation in exhibitions and competitions
• breed – individuals well suited for breeding
• pets – ordinary pets, often sterilized
Girls are always more expensive than boys due to their ability to produce offspring. If a cat or its parents have well-deserved awards, medals, cups, etc., then the value of such an individual increases significantly. The appearance of the cat also affects the price. For example, complete compliance of a representative with its breed is rated highly, rare color is even higher, and defects in appearance reduce the price of the cat. That is why the price of a cat of a rare breed can differ by several orders of magnitude.

The largest and most expensive (from 27 to 125 thousand dollars)
The Royal Asher is generally recognized as the most expensive cat breed in the world today. One of its representatives can cost up to 125 thousand dollars (this is if you want a special color to be bred especially for you). This cat is not only the most expensive, but also the largest - some individuals can reach one meter in height and weigh up to nine kilograms. A long neck, sharp, large ears, an elongated muzzle and an original “wild” color - all this is a royal Asherah. Despite such impressive parameters, the cat has very decent manners, like all domestic cats, and is calm about a leash. The Royal Ashera can be called a pure commercial project, since the breed was developed by the company Lifistile Pets, which specializes in the selection of breeds of hypoallergenic cats.
Bengal cat (3-25 thousand dollars)
This is a hybrid of an ordinary domestic cat and a pure " Bengal ". Wild blood makes itself felt - the cat is active, loves to hunt, but is not bloodthirsty, especially if from a young age it is accustomed to human hands and caresses. By the way, breeders claim that the relatively docile character of the animal was achieved only in the fourth generation. The breed was bred by genetic scientists in 1961; its representatives have a bright spotted-striped color. It harmoniously combines a domestic character and predatory colors, which is why it is one of the most expensive breeds.
Savannah (1.5 – 22 thousand dollars)
The breed contains the blood of a real African serval and an ordinary domestic cat, and the more of the former there is in an individual, the more expensive it is. Cats have a “wild” spotted color, large ears, long paws and an elongated muzzle (unlike the Bengal cat, which only has colors left from its wild ancestor, and the muzzle resembles an ordinary Murka). Such a cat can weigh up to 15 kilograms already at the age of three years, and reach a height of 60 centimeters. This breed is believed to be more intelligent than its other hybrid relatives. A distinctive feature of the breed is its lack of fear of water. If you want to get such a pet, make sure that it has plenty of space to play and access to fresh air.
Canadian Sphynx (1.2 – 3 thousand dollars)
A breed for those who cannot tolerate wool, but at the same time love Siamese. Representatives of the breed have a color similar to Siamese cats, but have absolutely no hair. The wrinkles common to all Sphynx cats give these cats a truly regal appearance. The uncharacteristic color of a cat will significantly increase its cost. Seals are calm about water, and it must be said that this is not in vain, since their skin sweats over the entire surface (unlike ordinary cats, whose only paw pads sweat), so it is even recommended to wash them periodically.

Peterbald or St. Petersburg Sphynx (3 thousand dollars per cat)
The hairless breed, which has almond-shaped eyes, a flexible body, a long tail, an elongated muzzle and large ears, was bred in Russia. These cats are active and friendly. They do not attach much importance to their independence, but have a rather complex character. The color is usually snow-white.

Elves (about 3 thousand dollars)

The size of the cats is no different from ordinary domestic cats.
Burmilla (up to 4 thousand dollars)
The breed, as the story goes, was created by chance as a result of the courtship of a feline representative of the Persian chinchilla with a cat of the Burmese breed . The kittens had attractive short silver fur, so their owner, Baroness Miranda von Kirchberg, decided that it was worthwhile to start breeding a separate breed. Kisa has “oriental” type eyes, a fairly large body, and a sociable and friendly character.
Maine tailless ($700 to $2,700)
A natural mutation is also involved in the appearance of this breed. Despite its name, the breed contains both completely tailless cats and individuals with a tail of medium length. The cat is considered rare due to a special gene that causes the absence of a “fifth leg.” In all other respects, the cat is no different from the domestic breeds (who lost their tail in not so fortunate circumstances).
