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.

Nebelung

The Nebelung, whose name means "creature of the mist" in German, is a rare, longhaired breed with a shimmering blue-silver coat and luminous green eyes. They are the longhaired counterpart to the Russian Blue, sharing the same elegant appearance and reserved, gentle temperament. Quiet, loyal, and deeply bonded to their chosen person, Nebelungs are ideal companions for those seeking a serene, devoted feline friend.
