# Breeding Pairs & Requirements
CAThletes are genderless, so players can breed **any two CAThletes they own**. Yet **only NFT** characters are eligible for breeding, that is level **6-15 CAThletes**. Moreover, it is perfectly possible to **breed CAThletes of different levels** (*but no less than level 6*).
Each CAThlete can engage in breeding *a limited number of times*, with the next breeding getting **more expensive** than the previous one. The number of times a CAThlete has engaged in breeding versus the total number of breedings it can take part in is indicated by its **Breed Count** (*you may check it following these steps: open Collectibles Screen — tap CAThletes — scroll to Statistics box*). Once all the available breedings from the Breed Count are used, the CAThlete **can no longer be selected for breeding**.
The total number of available breedings is **determined by the rarity** and **can not be changed**; the higher the rarity, the more breedings are available for a CAThlete. Currently the max breed counts per rarity are as follows:
* common: 3;
* uncommon: 4;
* rare: 5;
* epic: 6;
* legendary: 7.
> Please note that a CAThlete coming from breeding is not an NFT by default. If you choose to have it minted, the comission is 0.05 SOL.
