Overview

Read the full profile

Angoras are slender and light with fine bone but firm muscle, a silky semi-long coat without heavy undercoat, and a full plumed tail. White is classic but many colors are accepted. Adults weigh about 2.5-5 kg.

They are intelligent, active and curious, fond of climbing and helping with household activities, deeply attached to their people and often notably problem-solving and mischievous.

Brush once or twice weekly. White cats with blue or odd eyes carry a congenital deafness risk, and the breed has a documented history of hereditary ataxia in kittens, so ask about line health.
