    British Longhair buying questions

    How much does a British Longhair kitten cost in the UK?+

    British Longhair kittens usually sell for £600–£1,400 in the UK. Registered pedigree kittens from health-tested parents sit at the top of that range; unregistered kittens sell for less.

    What should I check before buying a British Longhair kitten?+

    Kittens should be at least 8–12 weeks old, litter trained, wormed, and ideally vaccinated and microchipped. Microchipping is a legal requirement for cats in England by 20 weeks of age. Ask to see the mother and request GCCF or TICA papers where the kitten is sold as pedigree.

    Is a British Longhair good with children and other pets?+

    British Longhairs generally settle well into busy homes when introduced calmly and given somewhere quiet to retreat to. Supervise young children until the kitten is confident.
