Overview

Korat

The Korat is one of the oldest and most treasured cat breeds from Thailand, where they are known as "Si-Sawat" (the color of the Sawat seed) and considered living symbols of good fortune. With their heart-shaped face, luminous green eyes, and shimmering silver-blue coat, Korats are rare gems of the cat world — intensely bonded to their owners and deeply sensitive to their environment.

Originating from the temples of ancient Siam, they are intelligent, vocal, and intensely social cats that demand to be at the center of family life. Their strong personalities and deep bonds with their owners make them unforgettable companions.
