Overview

Cornish Rex

The Cornish Rex is a strikingly elegant breed with a distinctive wavy coat, arched body, and refined bone structure that gives them the appearance of a feline greyhound. Their coat consists only of the soft undercoat, creating tight Marcel-like waves that feel like crushed velvet. Athletic, playful, and endlessly entertaining, Cornish Rex cats bring grace and humor to every household they join.

Oriental Longhair

The Oriental Longhair combines the Siamese's elegant, tubular body and vivacious personality with a semi-long, silky coat in a dazzling array of over 300 color and pattern combinations. These are cats with big personalities — vocal, social, and intensely bonded to their owners. For those who love the Siamese temperament but prefer a longer coat and more color variety, the Oriental Longhair is a perfect match.
