Due to their rarity and the cost of importation, a Khao Manee kitten from a reputable breeder can cost between $7,000 and $11,000. Those wishing to identify the Khao Manee should know that the most apparent characteristic of the breed is its short, smooth, pure white coat. This breed can sometimes be born with black spots or dark markings on the coat, but any pattern will disappear by around 18 months of age.
Their large, vibrant eyes can be any shade of blue, green or gold, although the most prized eye colour of the Khao Manee is the odd eye, i.e. one blue and one green, or one blue and one gold. Their almond-shaped eyes are bright and expressive, with a slight upward slant.
The Khao Manees have a long, lithe body, with a muscular and athletic build. This breed usually weighs between 2.5 and 3.5 kilos and has an elegant appearance, with long, oval paws. These cute white cats have large, outward pointing ears and medium length tails.
