The Caracat · I

Origin.

2007

Gradual recognition within feline associations around the world.

Today

An emerging breed, still rare, developed with rigour by ethical catteries.

A one-of-a-kind hybrid.

The Caracat traces its origin to the meeting of the caracal — that wild feline with the famous long black ear tufts — and the domestic cat, mainly the Abyssinian and the Maine Coon. This alliance gave rise to a line, celebrated for its striking look and its unique temperament.

From its wild ancestors it keeps power, agility and the noble gaze. From its domestic parents it inherits attachment, curiosity and that rare ability to become part of a family.
