Norwegian Forest Cats are large, sturdy climbers that are friendly but often less clingy than other big longhairs. They like high perches and room to roam, and mature slowly, reaching full size at around four to five years.
Health testing. Ask for a DNA test for glycogen storage disease type IV (GSD IV) on both parents, which is specific to the breed, and for echocardiogram screening for HCM.
Coat care. The long, water-resistant double coat needs a weekly comb and much more attention during the big spring shed, when the undercoat comes out in clumps.
Typical price. Pet-home Norwegian Forest Cat kittens from registered US breeders usually cost about $1,200–$3,000; 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 the parents' GSD IV results (both should be clear or at most one a carrier) and HCM screening dates. 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.
