Low Shedding level Cat Breeds
Discover our comprehensive directory of cat breeds with low shedding level.
Bombay
Bred in the 1950s to resemble a black panther. Jet-black coat, copper eyes. Despite the dramatic look, they are social and warmth-seeking cats that bond closely with their families.
Russian Blue
Silver-blue coat, green eyes, quiet nature. They attach closely to their primary person and tend to be reserved around strangers. One of the calmer breeds.
Sphynx
No fur. Their skin feels warm to the touch, often described as suede. They are social to an unusual degree, following people around the house and actively seeking body heat.
Bengal
A cross between a domestic cat and an Asian leopard cat. Their coat has rosette spots that catch the light. They are athletic and need a lot of activity. Not a good choice for a quiet household.
Abyssinian
One of the oldest known breeds. Their ticked coat gives them a wild look but they are fully domestic. Busy, athletic, and curious. They rarely sit still.
Siamese
Colour-pointed coat, blue eyes, loud voice. They are vocal to a degree that surprises a lot of first-time owners. Siamese tend to have strong opinions and share them frequently.
Savannah
A cross between a domestic cat and an African Serval. Tall, spotted, and athletic. They can jump very high and are fond of water, which most cats are not.
Chartreux
A French breed with a blue-grey coat and copper eyes. Their mouth structure creates what looks like a permanent smile. They are quiet, often chirping instead of meowing, and even in temperament.
Devon Rex
Large ears, big eyes, a short wavy coat. They look unusual and behave accordingly. Active, mischievous, and closely bonded to people. They often perch on shoulders.
Cornish Rex
Very slender build, arched back, fine curly coat with no guard hairs. They are constantly active and feel cold easily, which keeps them close to people and warm spots.
Burmese
Dense for their size, often described as a lot of cat in a small package. They are social, vocal, and do not do well being left alone for long periods.
Ocicat
Looks like a small ocelot but has no wild DNA. The result of accidental Siamese and Abyssinian crosses. Trainable, sociable, and more dog-like than most cats.
Singapura
The smallest domestic cat breed. Ticked sepia coat, large ears. High energy for the size. They tend to stay curious and active well into adulthood.
Siamese Tabby Mix
A Siamese with tabby striping in the colour points, sometimes called Lynx Point. They tend to be sociable and vocal like the Siamese, with slightly softer point markings.
Tonkinese
A cross between Siamese and Burmese. More moderate in both looks and personality than either parent. Sociable and vocal, but less intense than a Siamese.
Lykoi
Called the werewolf cat for its patchy, wiry coat and partially bald face. The look comes from a natural mutation. Affectionate and curious despite the haunted appearance.
Toyger
Bred to look like a small tiger. Mackerel tabby stripes in a branching pattern across an orange-gold coat. Energetic and trainable.
LaPerm
Curly coat from a natural mutation first seen on a farm in Oregon in 1982. The curls range from waves to ringlets. Quiet and affectionate.
Korat
An ancient Thai breed with a silver-blue single-layer coat and green eyes. Considered good luck in Thailand. Calm, quiet, and loyal to their people.
Chausie
A domestic and Jungle Cat hybrid. Large, leggy, and built for speed. They need space and activity. Not suited to small apartments.
Havana Brown
Uniformly chocolate brown, including the whiskers. One of the rarest breeds. Developed in England in the 1950s from Siamese and black domestic cat crosses. Curious and sociable.
