How much might I expect to pay for a LaPerm?
For CFA & TICA registered LaPerms, the average is about $300-$800, some breeders have taken advantage of the LaPerm being a rare breed and are known to charge up to $1200. Some breeders are stating their LaPerms are homozygous (has two dominant genes for curly hair), but until there is a DNA test to prove this as a fact, they are still guessing. Simply because a particular LaPerm has produced all curly kittens, does not prove it is homozygous. Straight-haired kitten will cost less. We are aiming to keep the prices of LaPerms as low as possible to encourage individuals to take an interest in this breed. It should be noted that pricing will be at individual breeder’s discretion. A higher price does not guarantee a high quality cat.
