These cats are beautiful, gentle and quiet. You will need to groom it regularly. They’re best suited for single people, couples and a home without lots of activity and noise.

These cats love people’s company. They’ll sit on your lap and converse in cat-language. They flourish in a home where they get lots of attention, hugs and belly scratches. They can be demanding, so make sure you can give sufficient attention to it.
- The Ragdoll
The Ragdoll has a gentle character and can form strong bonds with their owners. These cats fit in well with families, are very affectionate and tend to go limp when you pay attention to it! They’d rather follow you around than go out exploring on their own.
- The Bengal
These cats can be demanding. They’re curious, intelligent, and active - you may even teach it to walk on a leash! Not a cat that’s mad about a cuddle, they’re more independent. They’re will suit experienced cat owners.
- The Miniskin
The Miniskin is a hypoallergenic breed, making it ideal for people who are allergic to cat’s fur. They’re a crossbreed between a Munchkin and a Sphynx. The result is a cat with hair on parts of their face, ears, tail and legs, and a hairless belly.
- Russian Blue Cat
These cats are gorgeous, with green eyes and blue coloured coats. They’re intelligent and playful, but may take time and space to get used to you. Once they feel secure, they can be very affectionate.
