How much does a Tonkinese kitten cost in the UK?+
Tonkinese kittens usually sell for £500–£1,100 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 Tonkinese 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.
