Adopting a Burmese

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

Adopting a Burmese cat from a rescue organization or shelter typically costs between $100 to $300. The adoption fee often includes basic veterinary care such as spaying or neutering, vaccinations, and sometimes microchipping. Conversely, it can be prohibitively expensive to buy a Burmese from a breeder, with costs ranging between $800 and $1,500.

The easiest way to adopt a Burmese is through a rescue that specializes in Burmese. A great place to start is by creating a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available Burmese cats in your area.

European Burmese cats look quite different from American Burmese cats -- different eye, head, and body shapes.
