I heard about this new breed of domestic cats that look like tigers.
I’ve searched everywhere for them, but I didn’t find anything.

They are beautiful creatures, and they are expensive. Some breeders will only sell neutered cats so that they are not bred by those without breeding experience. It also keeps the bloodline pure.

The woman developing the breed is the only one who can currently decide who gets to breed them. She technically "owns" the breed right now as no Toygers are being sold unfixed. Also, so far she has only chosen ESTABLISHED Bengal breeders to further enhance this breed as it is nowhere near where she wants it to be. Are they popular? No, not yet. At at $4000.00 per cat currently for cast off cats she doesn't want to use for her breeding program, it will be years before they are popular. In Demand? Nope. Not yet. Maybe in 15 years when her breeding program is established. Special Care? No not particularly... however the breed is nowhere near completion so in time that could prove differently. Because the breed is so new you don't know what issues health wise this breed could devolope later on. So how hard would it be? Pretty much impossible at this point since you would have to be hand picked by the founder of the breed to continue working towards her vision of the final "version" of the breed. This isn't a back yoard breeder thing. Breeding a new breed is ROCKET SCIENCE... and a huge money maker. I'm sure that the founder will be protecting her new breed by only selling spayed and neutered pets for a VERY long time to come. ;-)

Cat breeding from what i understand isn't all flowers and sunshine. It entails quite a few nasty realities you may not be prepared for. Take a few minutes and think about the following : 1) If you're in it to make money, be aware of the costs of running a cattery. There are costs ranging from initial startup fees, to equipment fees such as heating pads, to basic fees such as food and litter, all the way to expensive vetrinary costs. If you're a breeder, you definately will have alot of vet visits. Be aware that cat breeding is not a money making operation, no matter what the breed or how large or small scale you're operating on. You will always LOSE money. It may look like you're making money when you look at kitten sale, but all that kitten sale money gets eaten up by the costs of running the business. 2) Breeds have 'breed standards', that is : what a kitten or cat needs to look like. Not all kittens or cats you breed will come out conforming to these standards. Breeding is not a 'perfect' art, you will not get cookie cutter animals. What will you do? Keep a kitten you can't find a home for because they don't meet breed standards? How many kittens can you keep like that? Give them away to homes that may not be able to handle that breeds unique temperment? 3) Illness, sickness, death. Not spaying a female, and allowing her to have multiple litters of kittens is just plain unhealthy for the cat. Illnesses can spread among multiple cat households like you wouldn't believe, as well. How will you deal with cat death and illness, especially if it's from desicions you as a cat owner have made? Will you not become attached to your cats? Part of what makes a cattery a desireable place to buy kittens from is personable kittens who have been well socialized. How will you socialize with your cats without becoming attached. Think carefully. I'm personally anti-breeding. It's not profitable, for humans or for cats. Maybe some people are able to make tough desicions easier then i am. The only way i can see to make a profit off a cattery would be at the expense of the cats, and your own heart.

I've heard toygers sell for aroung $4,000. But If I were you, I would wait a few years before getting one. Though toygers will eventually resemble miniature tigers, their breeders have not yet finished mixing the two breeds. At this time, toygers are slightly larger, muscular cats with beautiful amber fur. The breeding process is expected to be finished in 2010 or 2011.

actually, i read in LIFE magazine that the particular woman that's breeding these toygers are only selling them to certain people, like other breeders with good reputations, i think. i also read that she only sells one to the public once in a while. but i think it would be better to buy one later-much later, perhaps near 2010- if you want a toyger, because by then they will look much more tigerish and not as cat-ish.

I saw them on Good Morning America last week and there was one breeder in CA. I don't think she was ready to sell any kittens as yet, she was still breeding them to try and get what she wanted. You can go to the Toyer's.com site and find out about them. On GAMA they said they would sell for $800 to $2000 for pet value. I hope this helps.♥

I saw them on tv also. I went to toyger.org and there was a list of breeders and even a questionnaire that is required before you are even considered for adoption . The prices are outrageous. Save your money and head to the nearest animal shelter and get an cat there that needs a good home. If you have anywhere from $500 - $5000 to spare for an investment that has little possibility of ever making you a profit send it to me. I promise that I will never make you feed me or take me to the vet. I also guarantee that I will also never ask you to clean my litter box.
