Overview

Bombay

The Bombay was bred to resemble a miniature black panther, and they succeed magnificently — their jet-black coat gleams like patent leather, and their copper eyes glow against the darkness like polished pennies. Beneath that stunning exterior lies an affectionate, easygoing personality that makes the Bombay an ideal family cat for those who love the sleek beauty of a wild cat in a thoroughly domesticated package.

LaPerm

The LaPerm is a uniquely attractive breed known for their soft, curly coat that ranges from wavy to tight ringlets. This naturally occurring mutation produces a textured coat unlike any other breed, giving them a permanently tousled, carefree look. Beneath their distinctive appearance, LaPerms are gentle, affectionate cats with an easygoing disposition that makes them delightful companions for families and individuals alike.
