Quick answer
Kittens in the UK typically cost £200–£1,500. PetTrader lists kittens from licensed breeders, private sellers and rescues, across 20 breed guides, with prices, locations and health details on every advert. Listings follow Lucy's Law and the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018.
Kittens typically sell for £200–£1,500 in the UK. Price depends on breed, species or variety, health testing and registration paperwork, the seller's location and the time of year. Anything priced well below the range below is worth questioning — it is a common sign of an unlicensed seller or a scam advert.

| Maine Coon kittens | £600–£1,800 |
| Bengal kittens | £700–£2,000 |

As with puppies, kittens under six months must be sold by the person who bred them. See the litter in the home, watch how the kittens interact with the mother and with people, and take the time to check that the kittens are confident and used to household noise.
For pedigree kittens ask for GCCF or TICA registration papers, and for the breed's relevant screening — HCM scanning for Maine Coons, Ragdolls and British Shorthairs, PKD testing for Persians, and PRA testing where applicable. Registered breeders will provide a written contract too.
Expect the vaccination card, microchip number, worming and flea records, a few days of the food the kitten is used to, and ideally something with the litter's scent to help it settle. Cats in England must be chipped and registered by 20 weeks, so update the details as soon as you get home.
Sellers are identity-checked before adverts go live and all messaging stays in-app. Never send a deposit for a kitten you have not seen in person, and be wary of anyone offering courier delivery — that is a common scam pattern.
UK kittens typically sell for £200–£1,500. Domestic shorthair and moggy kittens sit at the lower end, while pedigree breeds such as Bengal, British Shorthair, Ragdoll, Maine Coon and Sphynx usually run £700–£1,500 or more when registered and vaccinated.
Filter the kitten adverts on this page by breed, price and distance from your postcode. Listings come from registered breeders, private sellers and rescue centres across the UK, and each advert shows the kitten's age, sex, vaccination status and location.
Never before eight weeks, which is the legal minimum. Most reputable breeders keep kittens until 12–13 weeks so they are fully weaned, litter trained, wormed, vaccinated and properly socialised. A seller pushing early collection is a red flag.
In England all cats must be microchipped and registered by 20 weeks of age, and the keeper's details must be kept up to date. Ask the breeder whether the kitten is already chipped, and update the registration to your name as soon as you take it home.
Yes. Kittens under six months must be sold by the breeder who bred them or by a rescue organisation, and you should always see the kitten in the home where it was born, with its mother. Third-party sales of young kittens are not allowed.
The primary course covers cat flu, feline infectious enteritis and, for cats going outdoors, feline leukaemia. Most kittens have their first injection at around nine weeks and the second three to four weeks later. Ask for the vaccination card, and confirm worming and flea treatment dates.
Two kittens from the same litter usually settle better, entertain each other and are less likely to develop behaviour problems if you are out during the day. Some pedigree breeders will only sell in pairs for that reason.
Budget roughly £600–£1,000 a year for food, litter, insurance, annual boosters, flea and worm treatment. Neutering, microchipping and the initial vaccination course are one-off costs in the first year.
Yes — use the Adoption and Rehoming filters to see cats and kittens needing homes, listed by rescues and by owners rehoming directly. Adopted cats are usually already neutered, chipped and vaccinated, and their temperament is known.
View the animal in person at the seller's own home before any money changes hands, keep all messages inside PetTrader so there is a record, and never pay by bank transfer, gift card or crypto to someone you have not met. Every PetTrader seller completes a photo-ID and live selfie check, and verified accounts carry a badge, and you can report an advert from the listing page.
Selling rather than buying? Identity-verified private sellers get their first advert free, and the first 200 businesses and breeders get 12 months free.
