Adopting a Calico

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Calico - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

A calico costs around $75 to $100 when adopted from a shelter or rescue. On the other hand, purchasing a calico from a breeder can be extremely expensive, especially if you are looking for a male calico, which is rare. Breeders have been known to charge between $1,000 and $2,000 for male calicos.

Yes, calico cats can be expensive. However, the cost can vary widely based on factors such as breed, lineage, breeder reputation, and regional differences. Calico is a coat-color pattern found in various breeds, and the price of a calico cat will depend on the breed’s overall demand and rarity, as well as the breeder’s standards and practices.

The easiest way to get a calico would be by adopting it through a rescue that specializes in calicos. A great place to start is with a breed search on Adopt a Pet, which will show you all the available calicos in your area.
