FAQs

How much does a Scottish Fold cat cost?

The cost of a Scottish Fold cat typically ranges from around £300 to £1,600, depending on factors like breeder reputation, lineage, and health status. Prices often include initial vaccinations and veterinary care. Due to their unique genetics and demand, Scottish Folds tend to be more expensive than many other cat breeds.

What are the disadvantages of owning a Scottish Fold?

Scottish Folds have a genetic condition called osteochondrodysplasia, which affects cartilage development and causes painful arthritis, limb deformities, and mobility issues, often starting from a young age. They are also prone to obesity and related health problems like diabetes, and may face risks of heart and kidney diseases. These health challenges require responsible ownership and can lead to significant veterinary costs.

Is a Scottish Fold a good pet?

Scottish Folds are known for their gentle, affectionate, and loyal nature, making them excellent companions and suitable for families, including those with children. However, potential owners should be prepared for their specific health needs and the ongoing care and expenses associated with managing their genetic conditions.

What is the lifespan of a Scottish Fold cat?

The average lifespan of a Scottish Fold cat is between 12 to 16 years. With proper nutrition, regular veterinary care, and attentive management of their health issues, many Scottish Folds can live a long and happy life.
