Question 1

Do you need a permit to own a Caracat?

Accepted Answer

In Canada, no permit is required to own a hybrid cat. Some municipalities may nevertheless impose restrictions.

If you're considering adopting a Caracat, we recommend checking the regulations in force with your local municipality beforehand.

Question 2

Do Caracats have a wild temperament?

Accepted Answer

When properly socialised, the Caracat is generally a balanced, curious and affectionate cat. That said, hybrid cats often have a livelier temperament — especially those from higher generations. It's important to choose a breeder whose kittens are socialised from the earliest age and grow up inside the home, in contact with people.

Question 3

Are Caracats hypoallergenic?

Accepted Answer

No cat breed is fully hypoallergenic, although some are generally better tolerated than others. This is the case for the Caracat, whose coat is often compared to fur. However, everyone reacts differently to allergens, so we can't guarantee that a Caracat will not trigger any allergy symptoms.

Question 4

Is the Caracat a big cat?

Accepted Answer

According to the breed standard, the Caracat is a medium-to-large cat. Its size depends on several factors: the breeds present in its line, its sex and its genetics. It can also be influenced by environmental factors such as nutrition during growth. It is therefore impossible for a breeder to predict a kitten's adult size with any precision, although the parents' size can sometimes offer an indication.

Question 5

Does the Caracat need a special diet?

Accepted Answer

Like all cats, the Caracat is a carnivore. A meat-rich diet is therefore the most natural way to feed it. That said, some people prefer to avoid raw feeding. Thankfully, a good-quality commercial diet suits the Caracat perfectly well.
