Story
Metzli is a very timid but super sweet babygirl. She likes to run and hide, until she warms up to you and becomes the best cat to take long naps with. She loves chin scratches and all the treats and wet food. She is STRICTLY AN INDOOR CAT. We are looking for someone to give her lots of attention, preferably with another mellow cuddly cat as well. She has little sister syndrome lol. She definitely needs a lot of patience and grace. She is a silly cat who makes mistakes sometimes and misbehaves, but what cat doesn’t 😁. I am looking for the perfect and willing home that she deserves so she can overcome her challenges and be happy.

Adopting a Colorpoint Shorthair

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

It typically costs $50 to $300 to adopt a Colorpoint Shorthair from a shelter or rescue organization. This adoption fee often covers an initial exam, vaccines, microchipping, preventatives, and spay/neuter. Conversely, it can be prohibitively expensive to buy a Colorpoint Shorthair from a breeder. Depending on their breeding, they can cost $800 to $1,500.

The easiest way to adopt a Colorpoint Shorthair is through a rescue that specializes in Colorpoint Shorthairs or Siamese cats and varieties of Siameses. A great place to start is with a breed search on Adopt a Pet, which will show you all the available Colorpoint Shorthairs in your search radius.

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.
