    What to know before buying a Scottish Fold in the UK

    • The fold gene is linked to painful osteochondrodysplasia — the GCCF does not recognise the breed
    • Ask directly about joint health in the line
    • Consider a Scottish Straight instead
    • Always view the animal in person at the seller's home before paying a deposit.

    Scottish Fold buying questions

    How much does a Scottish Fold kitten cost in the UK?+

    Scottish Fold kittens usually sell for £700–£2,000 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 Scottish Fold 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 Scottish Fold good with children and other pets?+

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