Brid class
The middle class, most often put up for sale. Designed for breeding. The price for such kittens, as a rule, is lower than for the show class, but higher than for the pet class;
Pet class
Pets that do not have the right to participate in the exhibition due to non-compliance with breed standards; They are also not suitable for breeding. Therefore, these kittens are the most affordable prices.

In addition, most often buy kittens, which are only 2-3 months old, with age, the cost of animals decreases.
