Which cat breed is right for you?
The LaPerm originated in 1982 on a cherry farm in The Dalles, Oregon, when a bald kitten named Curly grew a unique soft, curly coat caused by a dominant gene mutation. This small-to-medium breed weighs 5–10 pounds and comes in both longhair and shorthair varieties, with the longhair featuring loose, bouncy ringlets and the shorthair sporting a wavy, textured coat. Their curls come in all recognized colors and patterns, and the degree of curl can vary from loose waves to tight corkscrews.
LaPerms are affectionate, gentle cats that love to be close to their people — often reaching out with a paw to touch your face or climbing onto your shoulders. They are moderately active, enjoy interactive play, and get along well with children, other cats, and dogs. Their sweet, curious nature and unique appearance make them endearing companions that quickly win over everyone they meet.

The Turkish Angora is an ancient, naturally occurring breed from central Turkey — specifically the Ankara region — and is one of the oldest known longhaired cat breeds. This small-to-medium cat weighs 5–10 pounds and possesses a graceful, balletic build with a long, plumed tail, silky single-layer coat (no undercoat), and large, walnut-shaped eyes. While white is the most iconic color — often with striking odd eyes (one blue, one amber) — Turkish Angoras come in nearly every color and pattern except pointed.
Turkish Angoras are spirited, intelligent cats that love to be at the center of the action. They are natural athletes — leaping to the highest shelf, opening doors, and inventing games to entertain themselves. Affectionate and strong-willed, they will happily greet guests and supervise every household activity, often choosing one family member as their primary favorite.
