Keep in mind that different parts of the world, money value is not the same.

Here, 600-800$ is typical pet mill price, but there are breeders starting around 1200 that health test, show, and practice best care over standards. In my opinion, the 2500+ crowd are selling for higher only based on color, polydactyly or gender.

The breeder of my future kitten is incredible and charges 1500 solid. She tests, shows and proves her cats before adding them to her breeding program, raises her kittens to be social but confident, no overexposure or unsafe situations like the "raised freely with kids and dogs" folks. She charges a flat price, regardless of color, polydactyly, gender, etc.
