Abyssinian

Abyssinian

Felis catus

One of the oldest recognised cat breeds, the Abyssinian is a slender, athletic shorthair with a warm ticked coat. Famously active, curious, and people-oriented.

American Bobtail

American Bobtail

Felis catus

A naturally bob-tailed, sturdy cat with a wild, lynx-like look and an easygoing, dog-like temperament. The short tail arises from a dominant natural mutation, not a cross with wild cats.

American Curl

Instantly recognisable for ears that curl backward from a single dominant natural mutation, the American Curl is a sweet, playful, people-loving cat available in both short and long coats.

American Shorthair

American Shorthair

Felis catus

A sturdy, easygoing all-American working cat descended from European mousers brought by early settlers. Low-maintenance, hardy, and famously good-natured, making it an excellent first cat.

American Wirehair

American Wirehair

Felis catus

A rare breed defined by a spontaneous spring-coat mutation that arose in a 1966 New York farm litter. Essentially an American Shorthair with a crimped, wiry coat — equally hardy and good-tempered.

Australian Mist

Australian Mist

Bambino

Felis catus

A new and controversial breed crossing the hairless Sphynx with the short-legged Munchkin, producing a hairless, dwarf cat. Affectionate and striking, but its two defining traits both carry significant welfare concerns.

Bengal

Bengal

Felis catus

A wild-looking breed created by crossing the Asian leopard cat with domestic cats, prized for its spotted or marbled 'glittered' coat. Highly active, intelligent, and demanding — a striking but high-needs companion.

A muscular, glossy-coated cat with expressive gold eyes and a famously affectionate, people-dependent personality. Often described as 'a brick wrapped in silk' for its dense, heavy build.

An accidental but charming cross of Burmese and Chinchilla Persian, known for its sparkling silver-shaded coat, dark eye 'makeup,' and a playful yet affectionate, easygoing nature.

The semi-longhaired variety of the Manx, a tailless or short-tailed, round-bodied cat with a plush double coat and a playful, dog-like personality.

Devon Rex

An impish, big-eared breed with a soft, loosely curled rex coat and a mischievous, deeply people-bonded personality often likened to a monkey or pixie.

Donskoy

Donskoy

Felis catus

A hairless Russian breed whose distinctive dominant-gene hairlessness (unlike the Sphynx's recessive type) produces wrinkled, warm, suede-like skin and an affectionate, intelligent temperament.

Egyptian Mau

Felis catus

A naturally spotted, athletic shorthair and one of the fastest domestic cats, the Egyptian Mau is loyal, active, and prized for its randomly spotted coat and distinctive 'mascara' eye lines.

European Burmese

European Burmese

Felis catus

A people-oriented, glossy shorthair developed from the same root stock as the Burmese but bred to a slightly less compact European standard, available in a wider range of colors including red, cream, and tortie.
