Abyssinians are one of the oldest breeds of cats to be domesticated. There are purebred Abyssinians and mixed Abyssinians as well. The exact cost of an Abyssinian kitten will depend largely on whether it is a purebred or a mix, and a variety of other factors including its lineage and overall appearance. Registered purebred Abyssinians have fully documented medical histories and “show quality” status that can substantially influence their price as well.
