The York Chocolate descended from farm cats in upstate New York: a large longhair in chocolate or lavender, gentle-natured and rare.
York Chocolate is a large breed with Moderate care needs. Judge fit by space, children, experience and other pets rather than looks.
Reference monthly cost: CNY 300-800. Include food, litter, parasite prevention, grooming and a vet reserve.
Yorks are large and solid with a long glossy coat in rich chocolate brown or lavender, sometimes with white mitts, plus ear tufts and a plumed tail. Adults weigh about 4-8 kg.
They are gentle, friendly, intelligent and steady, devoted to family, retaining farm-cat hunting skills and strong adaptability.
Brush two to three times weekly. The breed lacks sustained major-registry recognition and has few breeders, so long-term health data is limited; existing records suggest general robustness. Verify breeder health practices.
