Overview

Read the full profile

Singapuras are tiny and compact: adult females often weigh only around 2 kg and males about 3 kg. The fine short coat is sepia-toned ticked tabby, with large almond eyes and refined proportions.

They are extroverted, curious and affectionate, energetic despite their size, loving heights and family involvement, and strongly attached to their people.

Coat care is easy. The small jaw means crowded teeth and a need for diligent dental care; scale feeding gear and jumping heights to their size, and keep routine checkups.
