It can cost $50 to $150 to adopt a Tonkinese from a shelter or rescue organization. The adoption fee often covers an initial exam, preventatives, microchipping, spay/neuter, and vaccines. Conversely, buying a Tonkinese from a breeder can be prohibitively expensive and typically costs $700 to $1,500.

The easiest way to adopt a Tonkinese is through a shelter or cat-oriented rescue. A great place to start is with a breed search on Adopt a Pet, which will show you all the available Tonkinese cats in your search radius.
