What are Snowshoe cats like?
Snowshoe cats are known for their friendly and social personalities. They are intelligent and adaptable, making them a great choice for families with other pets or children. However, they may prefer the company of humans and enjoy being a lap cat. Keep in mind that these cats enjoy human company and may become anxious or bored if left alone for extended periods of time.
These cats typically weigh between 8 and 12 pounds and can grow up to 10 inches in height. Snowshoe cats have a unique appearance with their white paws and distinct markings on their face and body. They come in a variety of colors, including seal, blue, chocolate, and lilac. When looking for a Snowshoe cat, it’s important to find a reputable breeder who will have kittens for sale with proper care and socialization.
FAQs when considering Snowshoe cats
How much do Snowshoe cats cost?
As a sought-after breed, Snowshoe kittens for sale cost between $500 and $1,500. A cat’s price is based on its pedigree, coat quality, age, health and vaccination history. If an Snowshoe cat’s parents are show-winning, they can be even more expensive.
What should I ask to choose the right Snowshoe breeder?
While there are many people who claim to be ethical Snowshoe breeders, not all hold a standard that you can feel great about. Asking some relevant questions about their philosophy will ensure you avoid Snowshoe breeders that do this only for financial gain, not having the interests of the cats or you in mind. Make sure you ask about:
- Health history of the parents and vaccinations. They should have their first vaccinations by the time they're adopted.
- Whether they've bred their Snowshoes with other breeds (they should disclose this and it would make it not a purebred lien.
- Have the socialized the kitten among other kittens?
- Do they belong to a Snowshoe breed club? You can ask for references from the club.
Why does it matter if I buy from a registered Snowshoe breeder?
When you buy from a registered Snowshoe breeder (with either their local club, governing body, or TICA), that ensures that a standard of care and expertise is enforced. You can ask them about a wide range of topics such as the Snowshoe’s genealogy, the right kitten for you, common health problems with Snowshoes to look out for. We offer additional registration through our Cat Kingpin Certified program as well, although it's not a replacement for other registrations.

I have had two interests since I was very young… the Internet and cats. I grew up with two lovely cats in my family, Midnight and Chloe. But when I started looking for a cat as an adult, I realized how few reliable resources there are for finding ethical breeders. So I combined my Internet skills and cat knowledge to create Cat Kingpin, the #1 resource for cat breeders online. Have a question or suggestion for my list? You can reach me here.
