Mixed-breed Cat

Every mixed-breed cat is an individual whose temperament, activity, coat and health needs should be assessed directly rather than inferred from appearance.

Before choosing

Full description

Mixed-breed cats can be affectionate, independent, active, cautious or highly social, and coat colour or pattern does not reliably predict personality. Owners should observe the actual cat's response to handling, play, other animals, visitors and time alone. Secure indoor living enriched with climbing, hiding, scratching, hunting-style play and predictable resources supports wellbeing. Coat, food and social contact should be adapted to the individual rather than a presumed breed.
