Adopting an American Bobtail from a shelter or rescue typically costs around $50 to $150 and includes a basic exam, preventatives, vaccines, microchipping, and spay/neuter. Conversely, buying an American Bobtail from a breeder can be prohibitively expensive, costing $1,200 to $1,500.

The easiest way to adopt an American Bobtail is through checking shelters and cat rescues. A great place to start is with a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available American Bobtails in your area.
