Oriental Shorthair Cats for Sale — Sleek, Vocal Cousins of the Siamese
If you love the Siamese look and personality but want it in nearly any color imaginable, the Oriental is your cat. Whether you've been searching for oriental shorthair kittens for sale near me or an oriental cat for sale in general, here's our current lineup — Oriental Shorthair and Oriental Longhair, both closely related to the Siamese and the Thai cat.
We raise every Oriental kitten in-home in Pembroke Pines, Florida, and place them with families nationwide — locally or with delivery.
About the Breed
The Oriental Shorthair (and its longer-coated sibling, the Oriental Longhair) shares its exact body type with the Siamese and Thai cat: a slim, muscular build, a wedge-shaped head, large ears, and almond eyes. The real difference is coloring. Siamese and Thai cats are always colorpoint (dark face, ears, paws, and tail against a lighter body); Orientals come from the same bloodlines but were bred to carry solid colors, tabby patterns, and everything in between — over 300 color and pattern combinations are recognized in the breed.
Fun to know if you're comparing the three: the Thai cat is essentially the original, "old-style" Siamese look before modern breeding made the Siamese more extreme and angular. So if you're drawn to Oriental Shorthairs, there's a good chance a Siamese or Thai cat would suit you just as well — the personalities are nearly identical.
Why Choose Ours
We've been raising and placing kittens since July 2016, as a licensed, USDA-compliant, family-owned cattery — not a broker or marketplace. Every Oriental kitten here is raised in-home, health-checked, and backed by a health guarantee. We've also been voted Best Pet Store 2023 through 2026.
Is an Oriental Right for Your Home?
Orientals are talkative, social, and attention-seeking in the best way — they'll narrate their opinions on your day and expect to be included in it. They bond closely with their people, often picking a favorite, and don't do well left alone for long stretches. If you loved a Siamese growing up and want that same chatty, clingy affection in a different coat, an Oriental (short or longhaired) is an easy choice.
Oriental Shorthair Price
Oriental shorthair price and oriental cat price generally run $2,200 to $5,300, depending on color rarity, coat length, and lineage. A few things that move the number:
-
Common solid colors and standard tabby patternstend to land toward the lower end.
-
Rare colors, unusual patterns, or Oriental Longhair kittens often price toward the higher end, since they come through less often in litters.
Oriental shorthair cat price can vary a lot between breeders depending on how "purebred" and documented the lineage actually is — we're happy to walk you through ours. For the exact oriental cat price or oriental shorthair kittens for sale price on what's currently available, call (786) 657-6510.

What's the difference between an Oriental, a Siamese, and a Thai cat?
Same body type and personality — the difference is coat. Siamese and Thai cats are always colorpoint; Orientals carry the same genetics but in solid colors and patterns instead.
Is an Oriental Shorthair the same as an Oriental Longhair?
Same breed, different coat length. Temperament and body type are identical; longhairs just carry a coat gene that gives them longer fur.
Are Oriental cats good for apartments?
Yes, as long as they get attention and interaction — they're more bothered by being ignored than by lack of space.
