How Much Do Scottish Fold Kittens Cost? The Real Difference Between Ethical and Backyard Breeders
Ever wonder why Scottish Fold kittens from ethical breeders cost more? 🐾 It’s not just about looks or pedigree—it’s about everything that goes into raising a healthy, happy kitten. Ethical breeders invest in DNA testing, vaccinations, early spay/neuter, and round-the-clock care to prevent health issues like osteochondrodysplasia. They also spend hours every day socializing kittens so they grow into confident, loving companions. The price reflects the quality of care—not just today, but for your kitten’s entire life. 💛
Why Kittens Should Stay with Their Breeder, Mom, and Siblings Until 3 Months Old
Why Scottish Fold Kittens Stay with the Breeder Until 12–16 Weeks
If you're thinking about bringing home a Scottish Fold kitten, it’s important to know why responsible breeders—like PurrfectlyFold—wait until 12 to 16 weeks before letting kittens go to their new homes.
This extra time with their mother and littermates helps kittens grow up healthy, confident, and well-socialized. They build strong immune systems, learn proper behavior, and adjust better when they join their new families.
In this post, we’ll share why keeping Scottish Fold and Scottish Straight kittens with the breeder for 12 to 16 weeks gives them the best start in life—and why it's worth the wait for future cat owners.
