LaPerm
These curly-haired gentle and quiet cats make excellent low-maintenance indoor cats for singles, seniors, and families.
Breed Overview
This curly-haired cat breed comes in short haired and long haired varieties. Inquisitive in nature, they are generally quiet, gentle, and affectionate. They love to give and receive attention and are excellent companions. These cats were used as excellent hunters on farms long ago, but they are also very gentle indoor cats as well. They are ideal for apartment dwellers, families with children and other pets, senior citizens, and singles. This low maintenance breed does not require a lot of grooming as their coats do not easily mat. Shedding is minimal.
