High Shedding level Cat Breeds
Discover our comprehensive directory of cat breeds with high shedding level.
Persian
Long coat, flat face, quiet temperament. Persians need daily grooming and prefer calm households. They are not particularly active. What they are is consistent, undemanding company.
Maine Coon
One of the largest domestic cat breeds. Heavy coat, tufted ears, bushy tail. They get along well with other animals, are unhurried in temperament, and tend to chirp rather than meow.
Ragdoll
Named because they tend to go limp when you pick them up. Large cats with blue eyes and a semi-long coat. They are calm, follow their owners from room to room, and rarely scratch.
Siberian
Russia's natural forest cat. Triple-layered coat built for cold winters. Large but agile. One of the breeds considered to produce fewer allergens, though not fully hypoallergenic.
Norwegian Forest Cat
Built for Scandinavian winters. Dense, water-resistant coat, strong frame. They are calm and independent, happy to spend time outside if given the chance.
British Longhair
The long-haired version of the British Shorthair. Same round face and calm temperament. The coat needs regular grooming to prevent matting.
Domestic Longhair
Any non-pedigree cat with a long coat. Not a breed. Personalities and appearances vary widely. The coat requires regular brushing.
Domestic Siberian
A non-pedigree cat from Russia with Siberian ancestry. Semi-long coat, robust build. They tend to be friendly and bond closely with their families.
Himalayan Persian Mix
Persian looks with Siamese colour points. Long coat, flat face, blue eyes. Calm and quiet. Better suited to indoor living.
Himalayan
A colour-pointed Persian. Flat face, long coat, blue eyes from the Siamese side of its ancestry. Calm and quiet. Prefers a settled, low-activity home.
Ragamuffin
Related to the Ragdoll. Large, plush, and relaxed. Their coats come in more colour variations than the Ragdoll's colour-point-only pattern.
