Cats and Kittens for Sale Near You

What to know before you buy

Cats and kittens on AnimalsSale come from breeders and families across the country — purebred Maine Coons, Bengals, and Ragdolls alongside laid-back domestic shorthairs looking for a second chance. Whichever you're after, a kitten is a 12-to-20-year commitment, so it's worth taking your time before you commit to any one listing.

Purebred kittens typically list for somewhere between $150 and $3,500, with a lot of listings clustering around the $700–$1,300 range — coat pattern, pedigree, and whether a kitten is sold as pet or show quality all move that number. Rescue and adult cats are usually priced much lower, often just enough to cover a rehoming or vet fee. Maine Coons and Ragdolls tend to sit toward the higher end given their size and grooming demands; Bengals and Sphynx cats carry a premium for their distinctive coat and lack of one, respectively.

Before you send anyone money, look for the seller verification badge on a listing — a confirmed email and an established account history earn that badge, and our team can also apply it manually when appropriate. Ask a breeder for vaccination records, and for purebred kittens, ask about health testing relevant to that breed specifically: hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) screening for Maine Coons and Ragdolls, or polycystic kidney disease (PKD) screening for Persians and other longhairs. A responsible breeder will have this documentation ready without being asked twice.

Meet the kitten in person or over a video call before paying anything, and never wire a deposit to a seller you haven't spoken with directly — if something about a listing feels off, trust that instinct and reach out to [email protected]. Cat listings right now cluster in California, Wisconsin, New York, Virginia, and New Hampshire, though sellers post from nearly every state; use the location filter above to narrow the search to cats near you. If you already know which breed you're set on, our cat breed guide covers temperament, grooming, and typical health considerations for the Maine Coon, Bengal, Ragdoll, and dozens more before you bring one home.
