Health 4/5 Reliable breed-specific health data for the Sokoke are limited. Heart, kidney and dental health should be monitored as in other adult cats, without assuming exceptional robustness from natural-breed status. Recommended preventive care includes cardiac and kidney assessment where family history indicates risk, dental care, healthy weight management and breeding decisions that preserve genetic diversity.
