Adopting a American Curl

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

It typically costs $50 to $150 to adopt an American Curl kitten or adult from a shelter or rescue organization. Adoption fees often cover an initial exam, parasite preventatives, microchipping, spay/neuter, and vaccines. Conversely, buying an American Curl from a breeder can be prohibitively expensive and can cost $1,200 to $3,000.

The easiest way to adopt an American Curl is through searching shelters and cat-specific rescues. Since this breed is rare, you may need to expand your search outside of your local region. A great place to start is with a breed search on Adopt a Pet, which can show you all adoptable American Curls within your area or nationwide.

American Curl fun facts

Fun Facts:

The first ever American Curl's name was "Shulamith," which is Hebrew for "black but comely."

Because this is a relatively new breed, it will take a few more decades before the type is consistent in shape, hair type, and personality.

This breed retains its kitten-like energy and sensibilities well into adulthood, thus earning it the moniker the "Peter Pan of cats."
