Exotic Shorthair kittens for sale from verified catteries

Exotic Shorthairs have the Persian's flat face and quiet, affectionate temperament in a short, plush coat. They are usually a little more playful than Persians and settle well into calm homes and apartments.

Health testing. Ask for a PKD1 DNA test on both parents and echocardiogram screening for HCM. Like Persians, flat-faced lines can have narrow nostrils, tear-duct problems and crowded teeth, so ask how the cattery selects for open airways.

Coat care. The dense, plush coat needs brushing once or twice a week to keep shedding down. Wipe the eyes and facial folds daily.

Typical price. Pet-home Exotic Shorthair kittens from registered US breeders usually cost about $1,500–$3,500; breeding rights, show prospects and rare colors cost more. A price far below that range is a common scam signal.

Before you pay a deposit: Ask for PKD results on the parents and watch the kitten breathe and play on the video call: noisy breathing at rest is a warning sign. On PurrTrust every cattery's identity and TICA/CFA registration is checked before it can list, you meet the kitten on a live video check-in first, and deposits are paid through the platform — never by Zelle, gift card, wire or crypto. Our scam guide covers the warning signs.
