Abstract: As composites of constant, (co)product, identity, and powerset functors, Kripke polynomial functors form a relevant class of mathsfSet-functors in the theory of coalgebras. The main goal of this paper is to expand the theory of limits in categories of coalgebras of Kripke polynomial functors to the context of quantale-enriched categories. To assume the role of the powerset functor we consider "powerset-like" functors based on the Hausdorff mathsfV-category structure. As a starting point, we show that for a lifting of a mathsfSET-functor to a topological category mathsfX over mathsfSet that commutes with the forgetful functor, the corresponding category of coalgebras over mathsfX is topological over the category of coalgebras over mathsfSet and, therefore, it is "as complete" but cannot be "more complete". Secondly, based on a Cantor-like argument, we observe that Hausdorff functors on categories of quantale-enriched categories do not admit a terminal coalgebra. Finally, in order to overcome these "negative" results, we combine quantale-enriched categories and topology emph{`a la} Nachbin. Besides studying some basic properties of these categories, we investigate "powerset-like" functors which simultaneously encode the classical Hausdorff metric and Vietoris topology and show that the corresponding categories of coalgebras of "Kripke polynomial" functors are (co)complete.
