It typically costs $50 to $300 to adopt a Colorpoint Shorthair from a shelter or rescue organization.

Colorpoint Shorthair fun facts

Fun Facts:

Even though this breed is technically Siamese, Siamese breeders were so upset about these colors diluting the pedigree that an entire other name and breed was established: the Colorpoint Shorthair.

Technically, the Colorpoint Shorthair is a hybrid, though there is little genetic influence of anything other than Siamese.

Only some associations consider the Colorpoint Shorthair as separate from the Siamese breed.
