When it comes to raising cats, there is a lot to consider. You can go to a stray cat shelter for adoption, but before bringing such a cat home, you need to ensure it has received complete vaccinations. Since you do not know its pedigree, there could be certain safety risks. Another option is to purchase one yourself. When selecting a cat, many people get worried and don't know how to choose. Some cats they like are really expensive. The shelter editor has collected some information and summarized some cats that are easy to raise and inexpensive.

Rural Cats

Rural cats are our native cats. Among my friends, many still raise rural cats. These cats can adapt well to the current environment whether in rural or urban areas, and live quite freely. The black cats, white cats, calico cats, tabby cats, and mackerel tabby cats we commonly talk about all belong to the category of rural cats. Different breeds of rural cats have their unique personalities. Even within the same breed, each cat's temperament is different. As the saying goes, there are no two identical cats in the world. Cats' characters are truly difficult to fathom. Sometimes you think you understand them well, but occasionally they do things that make you feel you don't understand them at all.

Speaking of cat prices, rural cats are undoubtedly the cheapest. You can adopt one for free from a shelter. Even in the bird and flower market, a tabby cat costs only about 20 yuan. The fur of rural cats is neither very long and dense nor very short. The fur length feels just right and is easy to manage. Moreover, rural cats are not picky eaters; they will eat whatever you feed them with great appetite. Another sign that rural cats are easy to raise lies in their health condition. As long as they are properly cared for in their kitten stage, they generally don't have many health issues when grown, nor do they have hereditary diseases, just requiring vaccinations on time.

Don't think that cheap rural cats aren't as cute as those exotic cats. Rural cats are also very smart. They have independent thoughts, sometimes can cheer you up, and keep you company without being noisy. They definitely make good companions.

Additionally, cats like American Shorthair, British Shorthair, Ragdoll, and the recently popular Canadian Hairless Cat online are also relatively easy to raise. However, these cats are quite expensive, costing no less than a thousand yuan. If you really like their appearance, it is also recommended to get one because these cats are easier to raise and do not require a lot of time to take care of. Especially the hairless cat – although they are rather ugly, they have a super good temperament, are particularly cute, and do not shed fur. You don’t have to worry about managing their fur at all. This makes raising cats much easier.

Actually, pet owners don’t care too much about the price. It mainly depends on the chemistry. As long as you have a bond with a cat, no matter if it’s valuable or not, you will want to bring it home.
