Munchkin Cats in Oxford, Oxfordshire

Munchkin cats generally cost more than common domestic cats in the UK due to their rarity and breeding needs, with prices varying widely depending on breeder reputation, lineage, and location, and available listings often found on UK pet marketplaces.

Munchkin cats have a genetic mutation causing dwarfism, leading to shortened legs which may cause spinal and joint problems; while not broadly afflicted by major health issues, their altered body structure raises potential welfare concerns and can increase veterinary costs.

Munchkin cats can make good pets when their physical limitations are respected; they thrive in enriching indoor environments with safe play suited to their limited agility, requiring attentive care, a high-quality diet, and regular veterinary check-ups.
