How much do Scottish Fold kittens cost?

Our Scottish Fold kitten price ranges from $2,800 to $3,600 depending on color, ear type, and sex. Scottish Straight siblings are offered at $2,400–$2,800. Pricing includes age-appropriate vaccinations, microchipping, two veterinary examinations, TICA registration paperwork, a starter pack of food and bedding, and our two-year congenital health guarantee.

Are Scottish Fold cats healthy?

When bred ethically — Fold to Straight, never Fold to Fold — Scottish Folds live full and active lives of 12 to 15 years. The condition associated with the breed (osteochondrodysplasia) is dose-dependent: heterozygous kittens from a Fold × Straight pairing have dramatically reduced risk. We screen breeding cats annually with radiographs and partner with a feline orthopedic specialist.

Are you a TICA registered Scottish Fold breeder?

Yes. Aurelian Folds is a registered TICA cattery in good standing, with Margaret Aurelian as a TICA member since 2014. Every kitten leaves with signed TICA registration paperwork and a four-generation pedigree. Our cattery registration and current standing certificate are available for review on request.

How does the reservation and waiting list work?

A $500 deposit secures your place on our waiting list. When a litter is announced, families on the list are invited to select in deposit order. Deposits are refundable within 14 days and fully applicable to the final kitten price.

We do not crate-ship kittens unaccompanied. We offer in-cattery pickup, in-cabin flight nanny service, and ground delivery throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic by a licensed pet courier.

What is included in the health guarantee?

Every kitten is covered by a two-year written guarantee against life-threatening congenital and hereditary defects, including HCM and PKD. Full terms are published on our Health Guarantee page.

Scottish Fold Colors: Complete Guide with Photos and Pricing

Scottish Folds are recognized in nearly every color and pattern accepted for shorthair cats — over 80 combinations under TICA standards. This guide covers the colors we most commonly produce, colors we consider rare, and how color influences price and availability.

Blue Scottish Fold

The most iconic color. Blue is a solid, cool-grey coat produced by the dilute of black. Kittens are born grey and darken slightly through the first year. Blue Folds carry the classic 'plush teddy bear' appearance the breed is known for. Base pricing at Aurelian Folds.

Silver Tabby Scottish Fold

White undercoat with black tabby markings. Bright, eye-catching, and slightly more expressive facial markings than solid Folds. One of our two matriarch queens is a silver classic tabby. Base pricing.

Golden Scottish Fold

A warm apricot ground with darker tabby overlay. Golden Folds are visually striking and slightly less common than silvers. Often confused with red tabbies — a golden has a much softer, warmer tone. Base pricing.

Cream and Red Scottish Fold

Cream is the dilute of red. Both are visually warm, often with white spotting. Ginger-orange Scottish Folds are unusually photogenic and popular on social media, which has raised demand.

Lilac Scottish Fold

The dilute of chocolate. A pale, warm pinkish-grey. Genuinely rare — lilac requires both parents to carry chocolate and dilute. When available at Aurelian Folds, +$300 – $500 over base.

Chocolate Scottish Fold

A rich warm brown, distinct from black or seal. Rare in the breed's Western bloodlines and typically produced only by breeders who deliberately import chocolate carriers. +$300 – $500.

White Scottish Fold

Solid white, often with blue, green, or odd (heterochromic) eyes. Beautiful, but breeders take care around associated deafness in blue-eyed whites — we screen with BAER testing when appropriate.

Bicolor and Calico Scottish Fold

White with patches of any accepted color. Very popular; slight price premium for well-balanced 'tuxedo' or 'van' patterning.

Colorpoint (Blue Point, Seal Point, Lilac Point)

The Siamese pattern in Scottish Fold body type: pale body with darker points on ears, face, legs, and tail. Blue eyes. Increasingly requested. +$400 – $600 at Aurelian Folds.

Highland Fold (Longhaired Scottish Fold)

The longhaired variant. Same breed, same temperament, longer coat requiring 2–3 grooming sessions weekly. Highland Folds are recognized in every color above. Priced at the top of the Aurelian range.
